The orthogonal city plan was adopted in the mid-fifth century BCE and implies a democratic constitution. Almost entirely excavated, Morgantina's large agora offers a detailed picture of the civic architecture of an early Hellenistic western Greek city. Ten major civic monuments and buildings are described; these include meeting places for the assembly and council, and three large stoas housing a law court, public offices, and a prytaneion. Several structures document new Greek building types, including a public bank and an agoranomion or headquarters of the agora supervisors.
This book offers a new interpretation of early Abbasid palaces as "impermanent monuments." Synthesizing an array of sources, ranging from archaeological finds and classical Arabic literature to modern studies on the social and intellectual history of Islamic civilization, it reveals ways in which the Abbasid court designed, decorated, presented, and documented its palaces to leave lasting legacies of imperial power with what were considered at the time to be impermanent structures. In doing so, it sheds light on an architectural concept endemic to early Islamic Iraq that challenges popular notions of the monument as permanent and unchanging. The main palace of Samarra, known as the Dar al-Khilafa, serves as the primary case study for this phenomenon, and the book includes an inventory of some of the fragments of architectural ornament found in this palace during the excavations of Ernst Herzfeld.
<p>Das Cook & Chill-Verfahren hat sich längst als praktisches Produktionsverfahren etabliert. Die Entkopplung der Produktion von der Ausgabe ermöglicht eine hochwertige Fernverpflegung und ein Qualitätsverlust durch langes Warmhalten wird vermieden. So wird das Cook & Chill-Verfahren zu einer kostengünstigeren, sicheren und qualitativ hochwertigen Alternative zur klassischen Form der Warmverpflegung mit Heißhaltung. Durch die Aktualisierung mehrerer Normen, darunter die Norm DIN 10536 "Lebensmittelhygiene - Cook & Chill-Verfahren - Hygieneanforderungen" (Ausgabe 2023) gilt es einige Neuerungen zu beachten, die die Neuauflage dieses Buchs begründen. So gilt es insbesondere mikrobiologische Gefahren durch eine gute Hygienepraxis zu beherrschen.</p>
