Sarah Grand was one of the most prominent New Women of the 1890s and a notable social purity feminist and suffragist. This collection offers important insights into the full range of her journalistic output and lesser-known fictional writings. It also makes available biographical and autobiographical material, and previously unpublished manuscript sources.The first volume reproduces Grand's articles and the contemporary critical reception of her work. The letters in volume two, written mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, shed light on Grand's genesis as a writer and her interaction with 1890s artistic and feminist circles. The third and fourth volumes contain a selection of short stories from three collections published at and after the turn of the century. These comment on some of the explosive issues of that time: feminism, decadence, eugenics, class, race and war. They also reflect Grand's exploration of the interplay between gender and genre.

Die 2. Auflage des zu einem Standardkommentar gewordenen Werkes enthalt eine vollstandige Uberarbeitung, die durch die neue Gesetzeslage erforderlich geworden ist. Mit dem BNatSchG 2009 ist das Naturschutzrecht erstmals Gegenstand der konkurrierenden Gesetzgebung des Bundes. Aufgrund der neuen Kompetenzverteilung durch die Foderalismusreform gilt das Bundesrecht nunmehr unmittelbar, seine Bedeutung fur die Rechtsanwendung ist dadurch gestiegen. Der Kommentar erlautert das neue Recht umfassend und praxisbezogen. Die Moglichkeiten und Grenzen des Abweichungsrechts der Lander werden erortert einschliesslich einiger inzwischen in Kraft getretener Landesvorschriften. Die massgebliche Rechtsprechung ist eingearbeitet. Die Tragweite des Europarechts und die Entscheidungen des EuGH werden eingehend dargestellt. Das gilt nicht zuletzt fur das Artenschutzrecht, das in bewahrter Weise von Dr. Kratsch erlautert wird. Fur die Kommentierung des Meeresnaturschutzes ist mit Prof. Dr. Czybulka ein anerkannter Experte zum Autorenteam gestossen. Der interdisziplinare Ansatz des Werks wird beibehalten, indem Dipl.-Biol. Anke Schumacher wiederum die fachlichen Aspekte der Rechtsvorschriften behandelt.
