Heidelberger Akademische Bibliothek
This publication series by the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences, which began in 2020, features ongoing publications by leading scholars in the humanities and natural sciences that explore various key topics.
“With the Heidelberger Akademische Bibliothek, the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities aims to create a forum where Academy members can introduce themselves to the interested public in a new way. [...] The idea is that each member should present a scholarly “business card” here. And through the sum of these contributions, the cosmos of the sciences—as it is represented at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities—should become visible, with its full diversity of topics, questions, and methods.”
(Quote from the foreword by editors Peter Graf Kielmansegg and Bernhard Zimmermann)
