Vision is not an end in itself. Instead, it has evolved to assure survival in a dynamic environment. Vision - as well as the other senses - evolved from the necessity to act in this environment. Therefore, perceptual processes and action planning are much more interlocked than evident at first sight. This special issue examines the basic processes of space perception and how these processes interact with action planning and motor control. The tasks under consideration range from the simple localization of a single object to the coordination of a series of events in natural scenes. The contribu

The Raabe Society Yearbook was founded in 1960, and since its 30th volume (1989) has been published by Max Niemeyer publishers in Tübingen. It not only provides a forum for specialists working on the extraordinarily extensive narrative writings of Wilhelm Raabe himself (18311910) but has also developed as a conduit for general work on German Realism. Each volume contains papers and miscellaneous articles, a review section and an annual bibliography of the latest research in Raabe studies. The language of publication is German.

Haiku, with its short form and engaging content, is the ideal instrument for a first exploration of Latin poetic composition. By modeling the composition of Latin haiku and translating both the substance and the form into English haiku, students will begin to understand the challenges of accurate and beautiful translation. It is only through such intimate experience that a true sense o

Wilhelm Raabe (1831-1910) is one of the major figures of 19th-century German Realist writing, acknowledged as an innovator both stylistically and thematically. But until now there has been little concentration on the international and postcolonial dimensions of Raabe’s work - his literary critique of colonialism, his engagement with modernization and globalization, his involvement in 19th century German discourses about America, Africa and Asia, and the links between international and national issues in his writing. In this volume, contributions from many eminent critics address Raabe bo
