Das Achämenidenreich wird häufig als das erste Weltreich bezeichnet. Die Ursprünge liegen allerdings vielmehr in den Traditionen des Nahen Ostens, von denen einige erst kürzlich intensiv neu bewertet wurden. Dieses Fachbuch nähert sich dem Fachgebiet in einzigartiger und innovativer Weise und beschäftigt sich mit den Vorläufern, aus denen das Archämenidenreich seine Struktur, Ideologie, Selbstdarstellung ableitete. Dabei werden Schriftstücke und archäologische Quellen ausgewertet. Betrachtet werden das Erbe des Großreichs, die zeitgenössische, spätere und sogar heutige Wahrnehmung.A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire berücksichtigt sämtliche historische Quellen, auch archäologische Funde. Das Archämenidenreich wird vorrangig aus dem Blickwinkel seiner verschiedenen Zentren beleuchtet, wobei den vernachlässigten östlichen Gebieten ebenso viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird wie den westlichen Teilen des Reiches, die häufiger Gegenstand der Forschung sind. Dabei wird nicht nur die politische Geschichte berücksichtigt. Die soziale, wirtschaftliche und religiöse Geschichte, Institutionen, Kunst und Wissenschaften werden ebenfalls untersucht mit dem Ziel, ein vollständiges Bild des persischen Reiches zu zeichnen und seine nachhaltige Bedeutung stärker in den Vordergrund zu rücken.
A Companion to World Literature is a far-reaching and sustained study of key authors, texts, and topics from around the world and throughout history. Six comprehensive volumes present essays from over 300 prominent international scholars focusing on many aspects of this vast and burgeoning field of literature, from its ancient origins to the most modern narratives.Almost by definition, the texts of world literature are unfamiliar; they stretch our hermeneutic circles, thrust us before unfamiliar genres, modes, forms, and themes. They require a greater degree of attention and focus, and in turn engage our imagination in new ways. This Companion explores texts within their particular cultural context, as well as their ability to speak to readers in other contexts, demonstrating the ways in which world literature can challenge parochial world views by identifying cultural commonalities.Each unique volume includes introductory chapters on a variety of theoretical viewpoints that inform the field, followed by essays considering the ways in which authors and their books contribute to and engage with the many visions and variations of world literature as a genre.* Explores how texts, tropes, narratives, and genres reflect nations, languages, cultures, and periods* Links world literary theory and texts in a clear, synoptic style* Identifies how individual texts are influenced and affected by issues such as intertextuality, translation, and sociohistorical conditions* Presents a variety of methodologies to demonstrate how modern scholars approach the study of world literatureA significant addition to the field, A Companion to World Literature provides advanced students, teachers, and researchers with cutting-edge scholarship in world literature and literary theory.
An innovative approach to the study of ten centuries of Jewish culture and history A Companion to Late Ancient Jews and Judaism explores the Jewish people, their communities, and various manifestations of their religious and cultural expressions from the third century BCE to the seventh century CE. Presenting a collection of 30 original essays written by noted scholars in the field, this companion provides an expansive examination of ancient Jewish life, identity, gender, sacred and domestic spaces, literature, language, and theological questions throughout late ancient Jewish history and historiography. Editors Gwynn Kessler and Naomi Koltun-Fromm situate the volume within Late Antiquity, enabling readers to rethink traditional chronological, geographic, and political boundaries.

Presents an integrated view of the expression of bacterial genetic information, genome architecture and function, and bacterial physiology and pathogenesisThis book blends information from the very latest research on bacterial chromosome and nucleoid architecture, whole-genome analysis, cell signaling, and gene expression control with well-known gene regulation paradigms from model organisms (including pathogens) to give readers a picture of how information flows from the environment to the gene, modulating its expression and influencing the competitive fitness of the microbe.Structure and Function of the Bacterial Genome explores the governance of the expression of the genes that make a bacterium what it is, and updates the basics of gene expression control with information about transcription promoter structure and function, the role of DNA as a regulatory factor (in addition to its role as a carrier of genetic information), small RNAs, RNAs that sense chemical signals, ribosomes and translation, posttranslational modification of proteins, and protein secretion. It looks at the forces driving the conservation and the evolution of the dynamic genome and offers chapters that cover DNA replication, DNA repair, plasmid biology, recombination, transposition, the roles of repetitive DNA sequences, horizontal gene transfer, the defense of the genome by CRISPR-Cas, restriction enzymes, Argonaute proteins and BREX systems. The book finishes with a chapter that gives an integrated overview of genome structure and function.* Blends knowledge of gene regulatory mechanisms with a consideration of nucleoid structure and dynamics* Offers a 'DNA-centric' approach to considering transcription control* Views horizontal gene transfer from a gene regulation perspective* Assesses the opportunities and limitations of designing synthetic microbes or rewiring existing onesStructure and Function of the Bacterial Genome is an ideal book for graduate and undergraduate students studying microbial cell biology, bacterial pathogenesis, gene regulation, and molecular microbiology. It will also appeal to principal investigators conducting research on these and related topics and researchers in synthetic biology and other arms of biotechnology.
