Academic literature on the topic 'Map Forum Saxony'

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the state of existing literature for various corporate governance models by answering specific questions. Much has been written in the recent years on various corporate governance (CG) models, primarily the model of Anglo-Saxon and Continental European. In particular, it investigates most examined model in literature, forums used to publish and research types conducted, as well as basic differences between the two models. Findings of this paper suggest that more evidence-based systematic reviews on various aspects and geographical regions are needed to map the entire field of CG. Design/Methodology/Approach – Much has been written in the recent years on various CG models, primarily the model of Anglo-Saxon and Continental European. This paper attempts to review the state of existing literature for these models by answering specific questions. In particular, it investigates most examined model in literature, forums used to publish and research types conducted, as well as basic differences between the two models. Findings of this paper suggest that more evidence-based systematic reviews on various aspects and geographical regions are needed to map the entire field of CG. Findings – The authors found that although both models are well-reviewed, Continental European model is mostly explored with 47 per cent contributions as compared to Anglo-Saxon with 45 per cent. Moreover, majority of contributions are based on analytical research in terms of research type (30 per cent) and primarily focus on convergence of models. In addition, some 85 per cent of selected studies are based on theoretical research work, which leads to a significant dearth of empirical studies in the literature. Research limitations/implications – The scope of the paper is limited to two basic models of CG, namely, Anglo-Saxon model and Continental European model in context of specific research questions. Practical/implications – The systematic review on the basic models will assist the practitioners and policy-makers in determining the status of existing literature based on evidences. Further, it may facilitate in formulating new laws, regulations, codes and policies. Originality/Value – The authors used evidenced-based systematic approach for conducting literature review of CG models. Systematic review is getting much attention of researchers, as it minimizes the bias by adopting a replicable, scientific and transparent process. This review, as contrary to narrative, contributes to the CG models literature the findings based on evidences.

Historische Länderkarten, Stadtpläne und - ansichten gehören zu den wertvollsten Beständen großer europäischer Bibliotheken. Mit ihrer rund 167.000 Einzelblätter umfassenden, bis in das 16. Jh. zurückreichenden Kartensammlung besitzt die Sächsische Landesbibliothek -Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) eine der größten und wichtigsten Sammlungen dieser Art in Deutschland.

Unter dem Titel „Dresden auf Karten und Ansichten“ wurde anlässlich des 800-jährigen Jubiläums der sächsischen Landeshauptstadt eine Internetpräsentation ausgewählter Landkarten und Veduten von der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) realisiert. Analog-Digital-Wandlung der Originale, Aufbau der digitalen Sammlung sowie der Nutzungsvorgang mit all seinen Möglichkeiten werden im Detail beschrieben. Beispiele von Landschafts- und Stadtentwicklung anhand von historischen Landkarten illustrieren das Potential dieses Internettools. Abschließend wird noch auf das von der Deutschen Fotothek und der Kartensammlung der SLUB betreute Informationsportal der sächsischen Bibliotheken und Archive „Kartenforum Sachsen“ hingewiesen. In letzteres ist auch die Seite „Dresden auf Karten und Ansichten“ integriert
To mark the 800-year anniversary of the Saxon capital Dresden, an Internet presentation entitled "Dresden auf Karten und Ansichten" ("Dresden on Maps and Pictures") has been realised, gathering selected maps and historical depictions from the collections of the Sächsische Landesbibliothek, Staatsund Universitätsbibliothek (Saxon State and University Library, SLUB). The analogue/ digital conversion of the originals, the structure of the digital collection, and the manifold possibilities for use are explained in detail. Examples of how landscape and urban development is reflected in historical maps illustrate the potential of this Internet tool. Furthermore, the information portal of the Saxon libraries and archives, which is presented as "Kartenforum Sachsen" ("Map Forum Saxony") and is maintained by the German Photothek and the SLUB map department, is described briefly. The site "Dresden auf Karten und Ansichten" is also integrated into this portal

It has long been assumed that England lay outside the Western European tradition of castle-building until after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is now becoming apparent that Anglo-Saxon lords were constructing free-standing towers at their residences all across England during the tenth and eleventh centuries. Initially these towers were exclusively of timber, and quite modest in scale. There followed the ‘tower-nave’ churches, towers with only a tiny chapel located inside, which appear to have had a dual function as buildings of elite worship and symbols of secular power and authority. This book gathers together the evidence for these remarkable buildings, many of which still stand incorporated into the fabric of Norman and later parish churches and castles. It traces their origin in monasteries, where kings and bishops drew upon Continental European practice to construct centrally planned, tower-like chapels for private worship and burial, and to mark gates and important entrances, particularly within the context of the tenth-century Monastic Reform. Adopted by the secular aristocracy to adorn their own manorial sites, many of the known examples would have provided strategic advantage as watchtowers over roads, rivers, and beacon systems, and acted as focal points for the mustering of troops. The tower-nave form persisted into early Norman England, where it may have influenced a variety of high-status building types. The aim of this book is to establish the tower-nave as an important Anglo-Saxon building type, and to explore the social, architectural, and landscape contexts in which they operated.

This is a study of the territorial structures within which past communities managed their landscapes. Today, we live our lives within a complex hierarchy of administrative units that includes parishes, districts, counties, and nations, and while some of these are recent in origin, others are deeply rooted in the past: most parts of England, for example, still have counties that are direct successors to the shires recorded in Domesday and which still form the basis for our local government. These territorial entities are an important part of our history, giving communities a sense of place and identity, and this book will explore where this aspect of our landscape has come from: might county names such as Essex— meaning the ‘East Saxons’—suggest that they originated as early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and if so, what was the relationship between these kingdoms and the Romano-British civitates and Iron Age kingdoms that preceded them? The idea that the landscape all around us has a long and complex history is a familiar one. For a long time, however, continuity stretching back to the Roman period and beyond was thought to be rare. Archaeologists and historians have argued that once Britain ceased to be part of the Roman Empire, its economy collapsed, and it was not long before hordes of Angles and Saxons sailed across the North Sea and dispossessed the Britons of their land. This was thought to have marked the onset of the ‘dark ages’ before the flowering of a new era of civilization—the ‘Middle Ages’—a few centuries later. Although this was the view when Hoskins (1955) wrote his Making of the English Landscape, it is noteworthy that in the same year Finberg (1955) published a short paper speculating that there may have been considerable continuitywithin the landscape at Withington in Gloucestershire. Overall, however, while some Romanists saw a degree of overlap and continuity during the Anglo-Saxon colonization, most saw the fifth century as one of dramatic change reflected in the apparent desertion of most towns and villas, the collapse of market-based trade and manufacturing, and the introduction of entirely new forms of architecture, burial practice and material culture (see Esmonde Cleary 2014, 3 for a historiography).
