The subject of the book is the development of physics in the 18th century centered upon the fundamental contributions of Leonhard Euler to physics and mathematics. This is the first book devoted to Euler as a physicist. Classical mechanics are reconstructed in terms of the program initiated by Euler in 1736 and its completion over the following decades until 1760. The book examines how Euler coordinated his progress in mathematics with his progress in physics.
The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the perspective of individual languages, language families, language groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on long-standing problems in general linguistics.
What they're saying about AAMIE'S WAR "Profoundly moving I couldn't put it down!" Zella Brown, Cofounder of One By One Jewish German Reconciliation Through Dialogue "A compelling and sensitive personal account, at times charming and tender, at times grimly upsetting Honest, painful and necessary, this book offers an important perspective rarely read in America. An important addition to the human saga of war and the tragic condition of mankind in all it's paradoxical complexity." Lawrence Lowenthal, Director of the New England Region American Jewish Committee "Marga Dieter captures so well the thinking and heart of a little German girl caught in the ravages of the Second World War." Joan Ecklein, Former Co-Chair of the Boston Chapter Women's International League for Peace and Freedom "These poignant experiences of an innocent, bright and lively young girl, acutely remembered by an adult woman, and told with sensitivity and a wonderful sense of drama, will fill the void left by the silent generation of Germany's war children." Barbara Eskin, Moderator of the German Book Club Goethe Institute, Boston Bombs, destruction and emotional devastation form the backdrop for Aamie's childhood on the homefront in Germany during World War II. What might seem crushing to most little girls is just everyday life for her. In a neighborhood where the walls are plastered with posters proclaiming "THE ENEMY IS ALWAYS LISTENING!" and people live by the secrets they keep, any revelation of her mother's sentiments against the Nazis is a danger to her family's very survival. Her father, in the Navy, is eventually captured and serves as a POW, until Aamie is nine years old. Her mother's struggle to maintain their family and raise two teenage boys, who are members of the mandatory Hitler Youth program, within the turmoil of war-torn Germany drives her to physical and nervous breakdown. Yet Aamie, with the support of her Greek Chorus of celluloid dolls, ponders and overcomes these obstacles with an irrepressible tom-boy spirit. An intensely told story of a wartime childhood, this book is a reminder of how children's emotional lives play out against the horror and destruction of war.
James Ryan Cassidy, partner and creative director of a successful west-coast advertising agency, is in Nairobi to film a television commercial when a tragic accident takes the life of an actress. Feelings of guilt and remorse forge a friendship between himself and Oscar Oulu, a game warden assigned by the Nairobi National Park Service to assist and supervise the production. Three years later, he is back in Nairobi to attend the funeral of his friend Oscar. During a night raid on a secret supplemental feeding station at Oribi Creek, Somali poachers murdered two wardens and removed the horns of several black rhinos with a chainsaw. But unbeknownst to the ruthless killers, someone witnessed the massacre. Now James Ryan Cassidy must travel to a hidden Manyatta at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro to learn the truth of what happened at Oribi Creek. Together with Angel Saint James, a very determined investigative reporter who has her own reasons for investigating the rhino massacre, they embark on a perilous journey through a labyrinth of lies and deceit to uncover the mystery that links Oscar Oulus death with the discovery of a miracle drug.
