Das Kloster Riddagshausen prägte durch seine herausragende Stellung als wirtschaftliches und geistliches Zentrum das Land Braunschweig nachhaltig. Das in Braunschweig gelegene Zisterzienserkloster Riddagshausen blickt auf eine bewegte Geschichte zurück. 1145 im Interessenbereich des welfischen Hauses und der sich entwickelnden Stadt Braunschweig gegründet, wurde das Kloster mehrfach zu einem Stützpunkt der Landesherren gegenüber der Stadt. Dabei kam es verschiedentlich zu militärischer Bedrohung, in konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen wie 1492 wurde das Kloster sogar zeitweilig zerstört. Zugleich war es ein geistliches Zentrum der breiten Bevölkerung und übte Einfluss auf Klöster im Reich aus, beispielsweise als Mutterkloster von Marienrode und Wahlshausen an der Fulda. Wirtschaftlich war es durch seinen reichen Besitz sowie den Salz- und Tuchhandel prägend für die Region. Der umfangreiche Urkundenbestand des Klosters umfasst die Zeit vom 12. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert. In zwei Bänden werden 1.087 Urkunden bis in das Jahr 1500 abgedruckt, mit Kurzregesten zugänglich gemacht und durch ausführliche Register erschlossen. Die Begründungen der Schenkungen, Stiftungen und Amtsgeschäfte vermitteln einen Eindruck des wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Lebens sowie des religiösen und politischen Wandels, geben zugleich aber auch Einblick in Angst, Vertrauen sowie tiefe Gläubigkeit.

"Kamandaki's Nītisāra, or The Essence of Politics, redefined the field of political thought in early medieval India and became one of the most influential works in the genre across South and Southeast Asia. It was likely written during or shortly after the Gupta Empire (c. 325-550 C.E.) and enjoyed wide popularity for nearly a millennium. An elegant introduction to the intricacies of statecraft, The Essence of Politics encompasses virtually all aspects of elite social life, making it indispensable for generals, spies, ministers, and other members of the royal court, especially poets writing about war and conquest. Addressed directly to the king, its lessons range from the finer points of military strategy and economic policy to the moral qualities of effective rulers. Kamandaki anchors political practice in intellectual and spiritual discipline. His model of leadership, based on self-control and personal cultivation, is as relevant today as it was in its own time. The Sanskrit text, presented here in the Devanagari script, accompanies a new English prose translation"--

"The Waitangi Tribunal has declared that in the Treaty of Waitangi, Māori agreed to a dual-sovereignty partnership in New Zealand. The chiefs understood that the Governor would have authority over Europeans, whilst Māori would retain full sovereignty over themselves. But is this true? What does the Treaty actually say? And what do the records show of Māori understanding at the time the Treaty was debated? The history of Crown/ Māori conflict in our nation is also now being reinterpreted through the partnership prism. The new view is that the conflict reflected Māori pursuit of the dual-sovereignty partnership allegedly promised in the Treaty. But is this true? What were the conflicts really about? And what were Māori leaders saying about Crown sovereignty during these conflicts? ONE SUN IN THE SKY presents an evidence-based perspective on the question of sovereignty and the Treaty of Waitangi. Whilst a supporter of the Treaty settlements process, Ewen McQueen raises serious questions about the new paradigm of Treaty interpretation. In this book he reviews the historical evidence for how the Treaty was understood by Māori and Pakeha both at the time it was signed in 1840, and for the century which followed. The story he uncovers is rarely heard today. But it is a story which needs telling. Thoroughly researched and fully referenced, this book is a must-read for all New Zealanders. Not just because truth telling about our history is crucial to the future of race relations in our nation - but because our journey together has been a remarkable story"--Back story
