Wie wäre es, wenn Software-Pionierin Ada Lovelace aus dem 19. Jahrhundert in der Jetztzeit landet und ihrem Freund Charles Babbage, einem Computer-Vorreiter aus England, Briefe schreibt? Darin erklärt sie alles, was man über das Thema Digitalisierung wissen muss – verständlich für jede und jeden. Es geht um Nullen und Einsen, um Verschlüsselung und virtuelle Realität, um Bitcoin und Blockchain, um Handys und Hypertext. Genau das macht Anna, die unter dem Pseudonym Ada L. einen Blog startet: über das, was die digitale Welt im Innersten zusammenhält. Die digitale Nomadin arbeitet in Thailand und Australien, im Elektrobus reist sie durch Europa. Auf ihrer Tour knüpft sie Kontakte, verliebt sich und kommt üblen Machenschaften auf die Spur. Dabei gerät sie selbst in Gefahr. Hilfe kommt von Freunden, von Fremden – und immer wieder von Hühnern.

Studying change in the course of human history, in different places, through the lens of a diverse set of core themes, World History for International Studies offers readers a set of windows into different debates historians have been conducting. Key themes, such as communication, trade, order, slavery, religion, war, identity, modernity, norms and ecology, are linked to specific world regions, which tell a story about how local ideas and individual contacts developed, started to overlap and became globally understood and used by ever larger groups of people. These themes are brought to life by a diverse set of key primary sources, such as a book, a letter, a medal, a temple and an epic, to showcase how historians have used sources to tell these stories and conduct debates. The book provides an introductory resource into the study of history and includes detailed suggestions for further study.

In abgewichener Nacht frühe gegen 5 Uhr haben die Franz[osen] von Göttingen Besitz genommen. Es sollen 250 Mann seyn, welche d[en] H[err]n Major van der Märsch, ein feiner Mann, zum commandanten haben. In dem gestrigen Scharmützel ist d[em] H[err]n Maj[or] Friedrichs das Pferd todt geschossen, und er gefangen. Abends gegen 7 Uhr sind die Herren Grafen von Schwerin und v[on] Münch, desg[leichen] verschiedene andere Bursche, unter welchen d[er] H[err] von Biederitz, von dem Jacobithurm durch Franz[osen] herunter geholet, jedoch nach Ankunft des Commandanten auf dem Jacobi-Kirchhofe sogleich wieder lossgelassen worden. Der Commandant hat zu d[em] H[err]n S[yndicus] Willig gesagt, uns sey zur Besatzung ein regiment Croaten und Panduren bestimmet. Andreas Georg Wähner, Tagebuch vom 4. August 1760 Das lange Zeit als verschollen gegoltene Tagebuch des Göttinger Professors Andreas Georg Wähner ist die umfangreichste Göttinger Quelle dieses Genres aus der Zeit des Siebenjährigen Krieges, die sich erhalten hat und im Stadtarchiv (wieder) verfügbar ist. Meist nüchtern, gelegentlich mit einem bissigen Kommentar versehen, protokolliert Wähner alle Ereignisse, von denen er erfährt, und nennt jedes Mal seine Quelle. Die Bedeutung des Tagebuchs zeigt sich gerade in den wiedergegebenen und bisher nicht beachteten Gerüchten, Briefen und Zeitungsartikeln, die den Blick weit über Göttingen hinaus auf die Weltgeschichte lenken. Dem heutigen Forscher wird hier Gelegenheit gegeben, sich über die Göttinger Stadt- und Universitätsgeschichte und die Geschichte des Siebenjährigen Krieges, besonders aber auch über die Kommunikationsgeschichte und Militärgeschichte dieser Zeit zu informieren. Die Hintergründe der geschilderten Ereignisse werden in den zahlreichen Anmerkungen erläutert und ein umfangreiches Register, im Fall des Personenregisters mit kurzen biographischen Angaben angereichert, rundet die Edition ab. Das Werk ist eine Fundgrube für die Forschung zum 18. Jahrhundert, vor allem aber bietet es für jeden Interessierten einen schnellen Zugang zu einer Fülle von Informationen.

From the mid-sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century Russia was transformed from a moderate-sized, land-locked principality into the largest empire on earth. How did systems of information and communication shape and reflect this extraordinary change? Information and Empire brings together a range of essays to address this complex question. It examines communication networks such as the postal service and the circulation of news, as well as the growth of a bureaucratic apparatus that informed the government about its people. It also considers the inscription of space from the point of view of mapping and the changing public ‘graphosphere’ of signs and monuments. More than a series of institutional histories, this book is concerned with the way Russia discovered itself, envisioned itself and represented itself to its people. Innovative and scholarly, this collection breaks new ground in its approach to communication and information as a fi eld of study in Russia. More broadly, it is an accessible contribution to pre-modern information studies, taking as its basis a country whose history often serves to challenge habitual Western models of development. It is important reading not only for specialists in Russian Studies, but also for students and anyone interested in the history of information and communications.
