What is it about the arts of the ancient Celts that makes them so fascinating for today's fashions and jewelry, graphic design, and even architecture? It's as though their ancient magical powers still cast a spell over us. Feel the power, as you become familiar with the stories and the representations of the 50 most important symbol groupings. Illustrated texts reveal dozens of cultic figures featured in ancient Celtic rituals, including wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish, trees and flowers, numbers, spirals, crosses, circles, and many other designs. Each spread depicts the qualities and values they symbolize, with examples of characters and stories from ancient myths that can be incorporated into your favorite designs today. 304 pages, 5 6/8 x 7 1/2.

Typha latifolia L. and T. angustifolia L. are emergent wetland plants native to Europe, commonly found in temperate northern regions. These species often form mono-dominant stands and are significant in eutrophic wetland types. Their rapid growth and biomass production make them viable as an alternative crop for raw materials in insulation production. This study explores the population biology of both species through experiments and observations in a constructed wetland in southern Germany. It examines environmental factors affecting growth and reproduction, tracking the life cycle from germination to death. The research highlights their colonization of new habitats, population establishment, and early development. Both species showed high germination rates and vegetative reproduction, with water depth and temperature significantly influencing seedling establishment. Rapid clonal growth was observed within the first year. Regression analyses indicated that T. angustifolia’s generative shoot proportion depended on shoot density, while T. latifolia’s was best predicted by mean stand height in May. At harvest, Typha spp. yielded 800 to 1200 g dry mass per square meter. A colonization model revealed that T. latifolia has a ten-fold higher reproductive success under optimal conditions, demonstrating its pioneer characteristics, while T. angustifolia adopts a more competitive strategy.

Keltové - tajemstvím opředený starý národ, jehož způsob života i obraz světa se ztrácejí v mlze minulosti. A přece jsou jeho symboly platné ještě dnes a narážíme na ně téměř všude: na důstojných portálech kostelů, na rozpadlých náhrobcích, na ozdobách a uměleckých předmětech...

Drei Gründe führten zur Veranstaltung der internationalen Fachtagung Keltologie vor und während des Nationalsozialismus: Tendenziöse Darstellung der Keltologie in den Medien und real vorhandene historische Verstrickungen zwischen Keltologie und Politik, Verwendung keltologischen (Nicht-)Wissens in Esoterik, Mode und Musik sowie die bundesweite Entinstitutionalisierung des Faches im Zuge politisch verordneter Sparmaßnahmen. Archivmaterialien wurden zur Darstellung der Entwicklung der Berliner Keltologie und ihrer Verbindungen zu anderen Wissenschaftsgebieten, Publizistik und Politik ausgewertet. Fazit: Die Berliner Keltologen bis 1945 sowie die Bonner Thurneysen und Weisgerber stellten u. a. in Organisationen wie der DIG, DGKS und dem Ahnenerbe ihre wissenschaftlichen Fähigkeiten in den Dienst deutscher Politik.
