Poznan, a successful architect and fairly rich man, is in search of peace and a quiet life. He takes it into his head to buy an unsalable property at the foot of a dormant volcano which had stopped erupting some fifty years ago. There, in the soil fertilized by the lava, he grows fruit trees and vines and bedomes richer still. He founds and runs a farmstead where he helps dozens of people, once beggars at his door. They, earn a living in their work, to their profit and his. Very soon he had to struggle against the local mafia and had to pay them a monthly “fee” for ‘protection’ from the terrorism they themselves are creating. He is also molested by the wife of a false friend who was anxious to get rid of her. Resuming his efforts for peace, he struggles against them all, with only the volcano for an ally.

A Journey on Board a Timecraft

The Time Engine Reversed

By: Karl Hesper

While still a little boy Delham Yorg loses both his parents in a rail accident. His unscrupulous aunt avails herself of the opportunity and manages to inherit the whole of his grandfather’s wealth, leaving him without a penny to live on. Being fond of sports cars and speed driving he is delighted to see on T.V. a science-fiction ‘time craft’ that can go faster than light. While apprenticed as a mechanic in a garage, he is fired for damaging a client’s car by driving faster than normal in trying it. He works as a salesman in a bookshop, becomes a self-taught philosopher among books, but soon has to lose his new job because he makes love to a female client inside the shop during the absence of his employer. Meanwhile his aunt falls and dies on the steps of the grandfather’s house she has usurped. Being the next of kin and the only relative of the old woman he inherits all the fortune she has stolen. Some of her servants charge him with killing her. Also he is suspected of having committed a number of crimes, including the use of carbombs to blow up schools and hospitals. His girl friend, too, is in trouble: she is accused by her brother-in-law of having murdered her husband. Both lovers take to flight on what his imagination saw as a ‘time craft’. The outcome: a tragedy he could neither forecast nor help.

Half-Brother Or Son

Half-Brother Or Son

By: Karl Hesper

Was the boy a half-brother or a son? Whatever he happened to be Seaton Domberger could not reject him as his own flesh and blood. Still more: he loved him and got along with him finely. All the same, he was in doubt as to the biological origin of this progeny in spite of DNA parental testing and other no less convincing proofs. What ailed him so much in this respect was that Joseph Barne, his own father, whom he had never seen, had raped, or tried to rape, the young woman who gave birth to the boy. She, on that account, used to say that she was not sure whether the child was the son of her older or younger lover. Such declarations did not fail to inflict pain on the latter but did not prevent him from becoming her legitimate husband. Seaton Domberger never succeeded in meeting his father to settle accounts with him and make him pay dear for the harm this dishonest man had done to his mother whom he held in great affection. On the other hand he could not help loving the son of his wife, who might well be his, and consequently he cooperated with him for years on end.

Toward Fame and Glory

Renown in Anonymity

By: Karl Hesper

Roger Deeble who fancies himself a versatile genius tries to achieve world fame in music, but his ugly voice when he sings lieders is hissed and whistled in a concert hall. Only Albitore, his flatterer and would-be-impresario, encourages him to go on... With Albitore’s incentives, he tries his hand at ‘modern art’. None to buy his daubs in an exhibition where, before him, a ‘fashionable’ artist has sold worthless pictures by dozens. Albitore turns his back on him at last. Left by himself, Deeble hides his face behind a mask and anonymously succeeds in becoming known by means of a mass murder he commits on a Halloween night, killing twenty children and their mistress who were bobbing for apples . Only Albitore sees him. He somewhat blackmails him into helping kidnap babies and selling them to rich childless couples. Not a penny of the proceeds goes to his pocket as promised. He ends up killing Albitore and when a second wholesale assassination is committed a year later by an unknown murderer who tries to imitate him he is charged with both crimes and tries by hook or by crook to get an alibi...

Marijuana Wealth and Mental Health

By: Karl Hesper

Lentopar, a suburban area of Presburg, looks like a desert before Elver Balls persuades his neighbours to plant marijuana in their respective small portions of land. He promises them generous salaries in return for his right to sell the crops for his own profit. The Lentopar people accept his offer and work hard, turning the Lentopar desert into a wealth of green shoots. For a time, they remain blind to the fact that the high salaries promised turn out to be starvation wages. Now a rich man, Balls builds himself a small palace in Lentopar. He follows up with another much larger and luxurious palace in the most fashionable and expensive quarter of Presburg. There he enjoys the self-conferred title of Lord, and befriends a woman who gives birth to a boy and a girl. After dismissing her from his life, Balls calls her a whore. This doesn’t prevent him from becoming fond of the son she gave him, in spite of the woman’s mental health problems. As his son enters adulthood, the young man has to be sent to a madhouse from time to time, yet everything plays out in Marijuana Wealth and Mental Health.

Terpenoids and Steroids

By: Karl Howard Overton

This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 90 years The Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

Metal Clusters at Surfaces

Structure, Quantum Properties, Physical Chemistry

By: Karl-Heinz Meiwes-Broer

Numerous experiments and calculations have shown that isolated metal clusters possess many interesting features, quite different from those known from surface and solid- state physics or from atomic and molecular physics. The technological exploitation of these new properties, e.g. in miniature electronic or mechanical components, requires the cluster to be brought into an environment such as an encapsulating matrix or a surface. Due to the interaction with the contact medium, the properties of the clusters may change or even disappear. Thus the physics of cluster-on-surface systems -- the main subject of this book -- is of fundamental importance. The book addresses a wide audience, from the newcomer to the expert. Starting from fundamental concepts of adsorbate-surface interactions, the modification of electronic properties through electron confinement, and concepts of cluster production, it elucidates the distinct properties of the new metallic nanostructures.
