Since its first appearance, Geography: Realms, Regions, and Concepts has consistently broken new ground in the interpretation and teaching of world regional geography. For more than four decades it has explained the contemporary world’s geographic realms and their natural environments and human dimensions. The authors look at the ways people have organized their living space, adapted to changing social as well as environmental circumstances, and continue to confront forces largely beyond their control ranging from globalization to climate change. This book was the first to introduce an approach to Geography that meshes theoretical concepts with regional realities. The evolving regional content of the chapters in the 18th edition reflects the dynamic nature of the world’s geography; the changing and growing number of concepts mirror the progress of the discipline; and the ongoing introduction of new digital features reflects the instructional possibilities of new technologies.

The study essays an overall view of 16th century German lexicography on the basis of single-, two- and multi-language dictionaries printed on German-speaking territory in that period. The following aspects are dealt with: dictionary typology (forms of lemma selection and commentary); prefaces and postscripts to dictionaries; dictionary titles; author, addressee and user intentions; dictionaries from dictionaries; dictionaries and their German vocabularies; German lexicography in the European context; links with 15th and 17th century lexicography. 100 reproductions from dictionaries of the period illustrate the argument.

Im Anschluss an die Beschreibung der pragmatischen Indizierung des Durer-Korpus und der Entwicklung einer Methodik fur historisch-synchrone Wortbildungsuntersuchungen werden die im handschriftlichen Nachlass und den Druckschriften Albrecht Durers nachweisbaren Substantivableitungen (Bildungen mit Prafix, Suffix, Prafix-Suffix bzw. ohne Affix) unter morphologischem und semantisch-funktionalem Aspekt analysiert. Die synchrone Analyse wird erganzt durch den diachronen Vergleich mit dem System der Substantivableitungen in der geschriebenen und gesprochenen Gegenwartssprache."
