Der US-amerikanische Schriftsteller, Journalist und Dramatiker Richard Harding Davis (1864 – 1916) ist für die deutsche Leserschaft eine echte Neuentdeckung. Sein Buch „Gallegher and other Stories“ war ein Bestseller, beschrieb doch hier ein junger Autor mit entwaffnender Frische die gesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit Amerikas um 1900, ohne sich auf düstere Sozialkritik zu beschränken. Der Autor wusste wovon er schrieb, als er die Gestalt des findigen Zeitungslaufburschen Gallegher erfand, der einen Mörder zur Strecke bringt, er kannte die Zeitungswelt von innen. Seine Stories erinnern oft an die Romane von Charles Dickens, lesen wir doch hier z. B. von kleinen Ganoven, die im Grunde gut sein wollen, aber durch die sozialen Missstände daran gehindert werden. Es ist ein schillerndes Panorama, das selbst die Not der armen Straßenkinder nicht ausspart. Elend und Armut treffen immer wieder auf edle Charaktere, die ihnen aufhelfen, und das Leben ist sicher hart, aber nicht hoffnungslos. Hans-Christian Oeser legt hier eine kongeniale Übersetzung vor, die dem Original an Frische nicht nachsteht.

This collection features the writings of a pioneering American correspondent during the Spanish-American War, offering unique insights and firsthand accounts of the conflict.

This study of Late Bronze Age spearheads from Britain is a sequel to the Prähistorische Bronzefunde (PBF) volume on the Early and Middle Bronze Age spearheads of Britain (Davis 2012). For the present study on LBA spearheads, Davis has identified a number of regions within Britain that reflect differences in spearhead typology, period of currency and hoarding practices. He also focuses on the development of British spearhead design during the Bronze Age. The volume concludes with an appendix of 163 plates.

The work addresses the early and middle Bronze Age spearheads of Great Britain. The catalog of finds consists of 1,068 spearheads and seven casting molds. Typologically, it includes early forms with a tang as well as looped spearheads. Formal aspects, origin, context, distribution, and chronology are discussed in detail at the level of individual groups or types. The introduction includes the history of research and a comparative chronology incorporating radiocarbon dating. One chapter explains the terminology and correlates it with older typologies. Considerations regarding the function and use of the spearheads are another focus, particularly highlighting experiments conducted with the support of experts from the Royal Armouries. A contribution by J. Peter Northover addresses the metallurgical aspects of the material. The analyses allow for statements regarding the origin of the raw material or imported spearheads. Chronologically, group formations can be interpreted as changing supply patterns or as technical change.
