Sommario/riassunto

Motivated variously by the desire to reject consumerism, to live closer to the earth, to embrace voluntary simplicity, or to discover a more spiritual path, homesteaders have made the radical decision to go "back to the land," rejecting modern culture and amenities to live self-sufficiently and in harmony with nature. Drawing from vivid firsthand accounts as well as from rich historical material, this gracefully written



study of homesteading in America from the late nineteenth century to the present examines the lives and beliefs of those who have ascribed to the homesteading philosophy, placing their experiences within the broader context of the changing meanings of nature and religion in modern American culture. Rebecca Kneale Gould investigates the lives of famous figures such as Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs, Ralph Borsodi, Wendell Berry, and Helen and Scott Nearing, and she presents penetrating interviews with many contemporary homesteaders. She also considers homesteading as a form of dissent from consumer culture, as a departure from traditional religious life, and as a practice of environmental ethics.

Sommario/riassunto

Im Zentrum dieses Teils der baskischen Schriften Wilhelm von Humboldts steht die Frage nach dem Verhältnis des Baskischen zum Iberischen, Keltiberischen und anderen Sprachen des vorrömischen Europa. Die neue Edition der Schriften zur Sprachwissenschaft Wilhelm von Humboldts zielt darauf ab, die erst in den 1990er Jahren wiederentdeckten, verschollen geglaubten Nachlasspapiere Wilhelm von Humboldts zu edieren. Das Baskische war für viele Jahre ein wichtiger Forschungsgegenstand Humboldts. Die erste große Beschäftigung mit einer nicht-indogermanischen Sprache und die Kontakte mit frühen



baskischen Grammatikern, Literaten und Intellektuellen führte dazu, retrospektiv diese Episode seines Lebens als die der Herausbildung sprachwissenschaftlichen Denkens zu bezeichnen. Er plante ein großes dreibändiges Baskenwerk. Der nun vorgelegte dritte Band rekonstruiert die Genese seiner einschlägig sehr intensiv rezipierten und diskutierten Schrift zur Stellung des Baskischen im vorrömischen Spanien und im alten Europa.
