The volume presented here is a collection of the contributions to an author s colloquium with Walter Burkert, which was held in November 2007 in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld. Well known experts looked in detail at the work of the internationally renowned scholar of Greek. In his epochal cultural-scientific studies focusing on the origins of human co-existence in rites, on violence, sacrifice, guilt and horrific scenarios of death, Burkert approached questions of biological behavioural research, anthropology and aggression theory, and developed an enormous intellectual impact that reached beyond classical and religious studies.

Bereits Johann Jakob Weilenmann erkannte 1865 bei seiner Erstbesteigung des Piz Buin die "jungfräuliche" Schönheit des Berges. Mit seinen 3.312 Metern Höhe ragt der Piz Buin, inmitten eines faszinierenden Gipfelpanoramas, aus dem Herzen der Silvretta. 150 Jahre später ist der Piz Buin immer noch Faszination und Mythos gleichermaßen. Der Sammelband bietet Einblicke in einmalige Kultur- und Naturräume rund um die Grenzregion der Silvretta. Die 13 Kapitel des Bandes führen unter anderem durch die Alpingeschichte, nehmen die LeserInnen mit auf archäologische Erkundungstouren, bereisen spannende Sagenwelten oder behandeln künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Hochgebirge rund um den Piz Buin. Aber auch der Berg als Wirtschaftsfaktor und Identitätsraum sind Aspekte, die behandelt werden. Der Sammelband bietet einen Rundumblick des Piz Buin und beleuchtet den Berg aus den verschiedensten Perspektiven. Und um das Bild des Piz Buin noch ein bisschen farbiger zu gestalten, darf ein Einblick in die Entstehungsgeschichte des gleichnamigen Sonnenschutzmittels natürlich nicht fehlen!
