        Der Leuchtturmmörder

        Roman

        by Vincent Swarte, Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel

        Geoffroy hat sich zurückgezogen von der Welt, die ihn wie einen Hund behandelt. Schuldlos ist er schuldig geworden (am Tod seines Bruders), unter Menschen kann er nicht menschlich sein. Auf der Leuchtturminsel Cordouan ist er sein eigener Herr, und Herr über Leben und Tod, allein der Macht des Leuchtturms unterworfen. Auf diesem kleinen Stück Erde zwischen Wasser und Himmel sind die Übergänge von tot zu lebendig fließend: Was Geoffroy hier unter die geschickten Finger bekommt, erhält ewiges Leben, aber vorher muß es sterben. Geoffroy hat niemanden gebeten, ihn auf Cordouan zu besuchen, und Lise kommt doch. Erst ihr gelingt es, ihn aus der Gewalt des Leuchtturms zu befreien, doch inzwischen ist er verantwortlich für den Tod von fünf Menschen. »Der Leuchtturmmörder« ist ein literarisches Debut von grausamer Eleganz, eine gnadenlos packende Geschichte, die niemanden unberührt läßt. Für sein Psychogramm eines unfreiwilligen Serienmörders wurde Vincent de Swarte vom französischen Verband der Psychiater mit dem Prix Charles Brisset ausgezeichnet.

        EINSTEIN'S ELEVATOR

        Scientists who Changed the World

        by Felix Dothan

        The author writes about the life and work of prominent scientists who succeeded in unraveling secrets of Nature, and inventors who changed the course of human life. These scientists were real people, flesh and blood, each very different from the other. Among them were near-saints, such as Albert Einstein and Lise Meitner, alongside people almost from another world, like Srinivasa Ramanujan. There were eminent scientists who lacked intellectual integrity, such as Leibniz, or who arouse feelings of both admiration and revulsion, for instance Fritz Haber, and more: Archimedes, one of the founders of mathematics and inventor of advanced weaponry; Benjamin Franklin - businessman, pioneer of the theory of electricity, diplomat, author, and statesman; Davy – a sharp and brilliant chemist; and so on to the renowned astrophysicist Chandrasekhar, one of the scientists who, in recent decades, discovered astounding facts about the universe.   Along with the biographies of scientists, the book contains short stories about subjects on the outskirts of science - stories that are interesting and amusing, but instructive as well. Felix Dothan is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was a Visiting Scientist at the European Institute for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, and a Visiting Professor at the University of California and at Yale. 200 pages, 14.5X21 cn

        Einsteins Fahrstuhl

        by Felix Dothan

        Einsteins Fahrstuhl – Wissenschaftler, die die Welt veränderten - von Felix Dothan Der Autor schreibt über das Leben und die Arbeit prominenter Wissenschaftler und Erfinder, die wegweisende Gesetze der Natur aufgedeckt haben und den Fortgang des menschlichen Lebens beeinflußten. Diese Leute waren Menschen aus Fleisch und Blut und sehr verschieden voneinander. Unter ihnen waren fast heilig Gesprochene wie Albert Einstein oder Lise Meitner. Dann Menschen, die wie Srinivasa Ramanujan nicht von dieser Welt zu sein schienen. Es gab bedeutende Wissenschaftler, die intellektuell nicht redlich oder integer waren, wie zum Beispiel Leibniz oder Fritz Haber, und gleichzeitig Verehrung und Verachtung hervorriefen. Dann solche mit mehreren und oft widersprüchlichen Erfindungen oder Fähigkeiten wie etwa Archimedes, einer der Begründer der Mathematik und Entwickler von ausgeklügelten Waffensystemen. Benjamin Franklin war Geschäftsmann und Pionier auf dem Gebiet der Elektrophysik, Diplomat, Autor und Staatsmann. Auch der berühmte Astrophysiker Chandasekhar, einer der Wissenschaftler, die in den letzten Dekaden neue überraschende Eigenschaften des Universums entdeckten. Neben den Biographien der Wissenschaftler enthält das Buch Informationen und Anekdoten über viele Themen aus den Randbezirken der Wissenschaft. Geschichten, die gleichzeitig amüsant und lehrreich sind. Professor Felix Dothan ist Emeritus der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem. Er war Gastwissenschaftler am Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) in Genf wie auch Gastprofessor an der University of California und in Yale. Rechte in deutscher und anderen Sprachen sind noch erhältlich!

        L’Ascenseur d’Einstein

        by Félix Dothan

        L’Ascenseur d’Einstein  Les Savants qui ont Changé la Face du Monde - par Félix Dothan Le Pr Félix Dothan parle dams son livre de la vie et l’œuvre de grands savants qui ont réussi à déchiffrer les secrets de la nature et sur des inventions qui ont changé les conditions de vie de l’humanité. Les savants dont il s’agit étaient des hommes et des femmes de chair et de sang, très différents les uns des autres. Parmi eux, (presque) des saints comme Albert Einstein et Lise Meitner, aux côtés d’autres savants venus pratiquement d’un autre monde comme Srinivasa Ramanujan. Il y eut d’éminents chercheurs qui manquèrent d’intégrité intellectuelle comme Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ou ceux qui provoquent des sentiments à la fois d’admiration et de répulsion, par exemple Fritz Haber. Ou, par exemple, Archimède – un des fondateurs des mathématiques et l’inventeur d’armes perfectionnées; Franklin – homme d’affaires et pionnier de la théorie de l’électricité, diplomate, écrivain et homme d’état; Davy – chimiste brillant et actif; et ainsi de suite jusqu’au célèbre astrophysicien Chandrasekhar, un des hommes de science qui découvrirent de nombreux faits sur l’univers durant la dernière décennie. Parmi les biographies de savants, sont insérées de courtes anecdotes en bordure de la science –à la fois intéressantes et amusantes, mais aussi avec une moralité intellectuelle. Félix Dothan est un professeur émérite de physique à l’Université Hébraïque de Jérusalem. Né en Yougoslavie, il a fait ses études au Technion de Haïfa et a un doctorat de l’Université Hébraïque. Le domaine de sa recherche est la physique des gaz chargés électriquement (les «plasmas») et les technologies des hautes tensions. L’auteur était également chercheur invité au Centre Européen de Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) à Genève, et professeur invité à l’Université de Californie et à l’Université de Yale. Le Pr Dothan a reçu en 2001 le Prix du Chef d’Etat Major de l’armée israélienne pour l’œuvre de sa vie dans le domaine technologique (particulièrement pour l’établissement du projet «Talpioth» pour l’encouragement des soldats intellectuellement doués).

        There is increasing understanding that climate change will have profound, mostly harmful effects, on human health. In this authoritative book, international experts examine long-recognized areas of health concern for populations vulnerable to climate change, describing effects that are both direct, such as heat waves, and indirect, such as via vector-borne diseases. Set in a broad international, economic, political and environmental context, this unique book expands these issues by reviving and championing a third ('tertiary') category of longer term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, conflict and collapse. This edition has an expanded foundation, with new chapters discussing nuclear war, population and limits to growth, among others. This lively yet scholarly resource explores all these issues, finishing with a practical discussion of avenues to reform. As Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, states in the foreword: 'Climate change interacts with many undesirable aspects of human behaviour, including inequality, racism and other manifestations of injustice. Climate change policies, as practised by most countries in the global North, not only interact with these long-standing forms of injustice, but exemplify a new form, of startling magnitude.' The book is dedicated to Tony McMichael, Will Steffen and Maurice King. This book will be invaluable for students, post-graduates, researchers and policy-makers in public health, climate change and medicine.

        Heal your wounds and find your true self

        by Lise Bourbeau

        Do you sometimes feel as though you are getting nowhere in your personal agenda? Do problems that you thought resolved seem to keep resurfacing? Perhaps you are simply not using the correct approach. This book by Lise Bourbeau, just as reliable as those before it, demonstrates that all problems of a physical, emotional or mental order come from five important sources of hurt: rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal and injustice. Thanks to the carefully detailed description of these inner wounds, and the masks that you have designed in order to not see or feel them, you will come to identify the true cause of a certain problem in your life. These masks will also give you answers concerning extreme skinniness or obesity. This book will allow you to move along onto the path of recovery which leads to the ultimate desired result: being yourself. Lise Bourbeau, as always, offers you a practical solution at the end of this book in order to turn your day-to-day problems into stepping-stones toward personal growth and to become aware once more that you are a creative GOD.

        Cancer - a book of hope

        by Lise Bourbeau

        What would you say to having a different view of cancer, that notorious word that has scared — and continues to scare — millions of people every year throughout the world? Why not consider this illness, even with all its devastating effects, as a friend rather than an enemy that one must struggle against? The way you perceive this word is entirely your responsibility. This book seeks to present a perception that is new and different from anything that has been written to date. Indeed, Lise Bourbeau uses an unprecedented approach that is based on the thousands of cancer stories she has heard over these last thirty years. Through this book and the many experiences shared in it, Lise Bourbeau offers you only gentle methods that do not involve struggle, because fighting demands so much energy that it leaves none for anything else. This book is intended for all those who are affected in one way or another by cancer today, including: • those who have already had cancer; • those who have cancer now; • those who are worried about a friend, relative or family member who has cancer; • therapists and caregivers who want access to tools for helping their clients or patients; • and of course, all those who wish to prevent this illness. Cancer is not an inevitable fate but rather a message aimed at helping you recover happiness and inner peace. Cancer seen this way becomes an opportunity for transformation and for loving yourself.
