In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich die literaturwissenschaftlichen Fächer für kultur- und mediengeschichtliche Fragestellungen geöffnet. Das führt zu einer Erweiterung des Literaturbegriffs, zur Aufhebung der Differenz zwischen Hoch- und Populärkultur sowie zu neuen literatur- und medientheoretischen Überlegungen. Diesen Veränderungen geht die Anthologie exemplarisch an einem konkreten Beispiel nach: Im Zentrum der interdisziplinären Beiträge, die film- und literaturwissenschaftliche Aspekte mit kulturvergleichenden Ansätzen verbinden, steht Quentin Tarantinos Film »Kill Bill«. Mit Beiträgen von Gereon Blaseio und Claudia Liebrand, Martin Przybilski und Franziska Schößler, Rolf Parr, Georg Mein, Uwe Lindemann und Michaela Schmidt, Oliver Kohns und Paul Fleming. »›Unzensierter Tarantino-Style für Fans von Martial-Arts-Filmen der Luxusklasse‹. Achim Geisenhanslüke und Christian Steltz haben [den Sammelband] herausgegeben und eine Reihe Kultur- und GeisteswissenschaftlerInnen für ihn gewonnen, die ausnahmslos mit lesenswerten Beiträgen voller origineller ›Lesarten‹ des Films und erhellender Erkenntnisse aufwarten.« Rolf Löchel, www.literaturkritik.de, 11 (2006) Besprochen in: Jenniver Pavlik, IASL online MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2007), Andreas Kirchner epd Film, 1 (2007)

This title examines the most formative period in Eleanor Roosevelt's life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. Wilson takes care to show all the nuances and complexities of the women's relationship, which blended the political with the personal.

Lawyers today are in a moral crisis. The popular perception of the lawyer, both within the legal community and beyond, is no longer the Abe Lincoln of American mythology, but is often a greedy, cynical manipulator of access and power. In The Lawyer's Myth, Walter Bennett goes beyond the caricatures to explore the deeper causes of why lawyers are losing their profession and what it will take to bring it back. Bennett draws on his experience as a lawyer, judge, and law teacher, as well as upon oral histories of lawyers and judges, in his exploration of how and why the legal profession has lost its ennobling mythology. Effectively using examples from history, philosophy, psychology, mythology, and literature, Bennett shows that the loss of professionalism is more than merely the emergence of win-at-all-cost strategies and a scramble for personal wealth. It is something more profound-a loss of professional community and soul. Bennett identifies the old heroic myths of American lawyers and shows how they informed the values of professionalism through the middle of the last century. He shows why, in our more diverse society, those myths are inadequate guides for today's lawyers. And he also discusses the profession's agony over its trickster image and demonstrates how that archetype is not only a psychological reality, but a necessary component of a vibrant professional mythology for lawyers. At the heart of Bennett's eloquently written book is a call to reinvigorate the legal professional community. To do this, lawyers must revive their creative capacities and develop a meaningful, professional mythology-one based on a deeper understanding of professionalism and a broader, more compassionate ideal of justice.

Plants have served mankind as an important source of foods and medicines. While we all consume plants and their products for nutritional support, a majority of the world population also rely on botanical remedies to meet their health needs, either as their own “traditional medicine” or as “complementary and alternative medicine”. From a pharmaceutical point of view, many compounds obtained from plant sources have long been known to possess bio/pharmacological activities, and historically, plants have yielded many important drugs for human use, from morphine discovered in the early nineteenth century to the more recent paclitaxel and artemisinin. Today, we are witnessing a global resurgence in interest and use of plant-based therapies and botanical products, and natural products remain an important and viable source of lead compounds in many drug discovery programs.This Special Issue on “Plant Natural Products for Human Health” compiles a series of scientific reports to demonstrate the medicinal potentials of plant natural products. It covers a range of disease targets, such as diabetes, inflammation, cancer, neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, liver damage, bacterial, and fungus infection and malarial. These papers provide important insights into the current state of research on drug discovery and new techniques. It is hoped that this Special Issue will serve as a timely reference for researchers and scholars who are interested in the discovery of potentially useful molecules from plant sources for health-related applications.
