Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Princeton. New Jersey. 14th March 1954 'Albert Einstein speaking.' 'Who?' asks the girl on the telephone. 'I'm sorry,' she says. 'I have the wrong number.' 'You have the right number,' Albert says. From a wrong number to a friendship that would impact both their lives, Albert Einstein Speaking begins with two unlikely friends - the world's most respected scientist and a schoolgirl from New Jersey. From their first conversation Mimi Beaufort had a profound effect on Einstein and brought him, in his final years, back to life. In turn he let her into his world. Albert Einstein Speaking is the story of an incredible friendship, and of a remarkable life. The son of an electrician in nineteenth-century Germany, Albert Einstein went on to become one of the twentieth century's most influential scientists and the most famous face in the world. This riotous, charming and moving novel spans almost a century of European history and shines a light on the real man behind the myth.

Recent Advances in Thin-Layer Chromatography

By: F.A.A. Dallas,H. Read,R.J. Ruane,I.D. Wilson

For many years TLC has suffered from the image of being a low sensitivity, low resolution, non-quantitative teehnique, suitable for chemists, but not a tool for real ehromatographers. Whilst perhaps true in the past this attitude no longer ref1eets the eapabi1ities of modern instrumenta1ized TLC in all its many forms. This volume represents the proceedings of a meeting in Brighton in 1987 whieh formed part of a eontinuing series of one and two day events on TLC organized by the Chromatographie Soeiety either alone or, like this one, in eonjunetion with other learned bodies. These meetings are designed to keep ehromatographers up to date with the latest deve10pments and help promote a more positive image of TLC. lan Wilson November 1987 v CONTENTS The Chromatographic Society xi Contemporary Thin-layer Chromatography: An introduction IoD.

Introduction to the Senses

From Biology to Computer Science

By: Terry R. J. Bossomaier

An understanding of the senses - vision, hearing, touch, chemical and other non-human senses - is important not only for many fields of biology but also in applied areas such as human-computer interaction, robotics and computer games. Using information theory as a unifying framework, this is a wide-ranging survey of sensory systems, covering all known senses. The book draws on three unifying principles to examine senses: the Nyquist sampling theorem, Shannon's information theory, and the creation of different streams of information to subserve different tasks. This framework is used to discuss the fascinating role of sensory adaptation in the context of environment and lifestyle. Providing a fundamental grounding in sensory perception, the book then demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to the design of human-computer interfaces and virtual environments. It is an ideal resource for both graduate and undergraduate students of biology, engineering (robotics) and computer science.

A Street Café Named Desire

a hilarious and poignant romance

By: R J Gould

David has two aims in life, to have a relationship with Bridget and to open an arts café. A short while after David's wife walks out on him, he joins a twenty-five-year school reunion. On meeting Bridget that night, he develops a teenagesque infatuation, and in her calmer way, she rather likes him. Between them there is a cartload of baggage to deal with - a demanding soon to be ex-wife; a deceased husband under suspicious circumstances; a tyrannical boss; unwelcome encounters with the police; and children resistant to the concept of 'step-parent'. And then there's the café. How can a well-paid accountant with two children to support chuck it all in to follow his dream? If you like fiction that is both humorous and bursting with home truths, then you're sure to enjoy A Street Café Named Desire. 'A story about trust, resilience, forgiveness and fresh starts, narrated with humour and insight.' 'The author writes with a wry wit and creates characters with depth who we care about.' 'The story is a familiar one, but it is told with humour, humility and humanity and at the end I was left feeling hopeful and satisfied.

Charles the Bold in Italy 1467-1477

Politics and Personnel

By: R. J. Walsh

This is a definitive study of Charles the Bold’s diplomatic and military relations with the Italian states, taking full account of economic policy. The book makes extensive use not only of the great mass of diplomatic correspondence in the archives of Florence, Mantua, Milan, Modena and Venice, but also of Charles’ financial records in the archives of Brussels and Lille. The author’s mastery of these primary sources is complemented by judicious use of a wide range of secondary material. Aspects of Charles the Bold’s relations with Italy have been considered in earlier literature, but no study has before dealt with them comprehensively at any length. This book fills that gap and places Charles’ reign in its wider European context.

Death by Government

By: R. J. Rummel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Death by Government

By: R. J. Rummel

This is R. J. Rummel's fourth book in a series devoted to genocide and government mass murder, or what he calls democide. He presents the primary results, in tables and figures, as well as a historical sketch of the major cases of democide, those in which one million or more people were killed by a regime. In Death by Government, Rummel does not aim to describe democide itself, but to determine its nature and scope in order to test the theory that democracies are inherently nonviolent. Rummel discusses genocide in China, Nazi Germany, Japan, Cambodia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Poland, the Soviet Union, and Pakistan. He also writes about areas of suspected genocide: North Korea, Mexico, and feudal Russia. His results clearly and decisively show that democracies commit less democide than other regimes. The underlying principle is that the less freedom people have, the greater the violence; the more freedom, the less the violence. Thus, as Rummel says, âThe problem is power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom.â Death by Government is a compelling look at the horrors that occur in modern societies. It depicts how democide has been very much a part of human history. Among other examples, the book includes the massacre of Europeans during the Thirty Years' War, the relatively unknown genocide of the French Revolution, and the slaughtering of American Indians by colonists in the New World. This riveting account is an essential tool for historians, political scientists, and scholars interested in the study of genocide.

Requiem for the Massacre

A Black History on the Conflict, Hope, and Fallout of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

By: RJ Young

NAACP Image Award Nominee for Outstanding Literary Work - Non-Fiction A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of The Year With journalistic skill, heart, and hope, Requiem for the Massacre reckons with the tension in Tulsa, Oklahoma, one hundred years after the most infamous act of racial violence in American history More than one hundred years ago, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, perpetrated a massacre against its Black residents. For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo. Blending memoir and immersive journalism, RJ Young shows how, today, Tulsa combats its racist past while remaining all too tolerant of racial injustice. Requiem for the Massacre is a cultural excavation of Tulsa one hundred years after one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Young focuses on unearthing the narrative surrounding previously all-Black Greenwood district while challenging an apocryphal narrative that includes so-called Black Wall Street, Booker T. Washington, and Black exceptionalism. Young provides a firsthand account of the centennial events commemorating Tulsa's darkest day as the city attempts to reckon with its self-image, commercialization of its atrocity, and the aftermath of the massacre that shows how things have changed and how they have stayed woefully the same. As Tulsa and the United States head into the next one hundred years, Young’s own reflections thread together the stories of a community and a nation trying to heal and trying to hope.

The Origins of the Second World War

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Origins of the Second World War

By: R. J. Overy

The book explores the reasons why the Second World War broke out in September 1939 and not sooner, and why a European war expanded into world war by 1941. The war has usually been seen simply as Hitler’s war and yet the wider conflict that broke out when Germany invaded Poland was not the war that Hitler wanted. He had hoped for a short war against Poland; instead, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Richard Overy argues that any explanation of the outbreak of hostilities must therefore be multi-national and he shows how the war’s origins are to be found in the basic instability of the international system that was brought about by the decline of the old empires of Britain and France and the rise of ambitious new powers, Italy, Germany and Japan, keen to build new empires of their own.

Pioneer and Priest

Jesus Christ in the Epistle to the Hebrews

By: R J McKelvey

The interest that the Epistle to the Hebrews arouses today is testimony to its enduring message, with its focus on what Jesus Christ did and continues to do for his people. McKelvey provides new insight on Hebrews by demonstrating that two of its chief images, pioneer and priest, function not just independently, but in tandem. Christ is not pioneer without also being priest, and his priesthood is only properly understood in terms of the pioneer figure. This double analogy conveys the meaning ofthe Christian faith, because only one who is both pioneer and priest can provide the church with the help it needs. Pioneer and Priest will appeal to those who want to know more about Hebrews as well as those who believe that the emerging church must follow Christ 'outside the camp'.

The Black Orchestra (HB)

By: R. J. Linteau

The Black Orchestra (HB) By: R. J. Linteau In 1944, Father Jonathan Strauss lives a quiet, contented life as a parish priest at New York’s famed St. Patrick’s Cathedral. He thinks he has avoided the horrors of World War II: horrors he knows all too well serving as a German soldier and then espionage agent in the Great War. But the U.S. government has other ideas. His past has given them fodder for blackmail, forcing him into a dangerous mission that places him in the center of an attempt to assassinate the Führer, Adolf Hitler. The Black Orchestra, a clandestine group of Weimar politicians, military men, and aristocrats, have vowed to kill the sick, maniacal leader of their beloved country. Little does Strauss know that his acceptance of this mission will send him on a journey into the bowels of Hell. All of the evils of the Third Reich are revealed to him as he travels from Italy to France, onto Berlin, and then finally to the Wolf’s Lair in East Prussia. As the priest-turned-spy comes face to face with true evil, he is forced to come to terms with his unsavory past. Based on real events, The Black Orchestra is a heart-stopping thriller that will entertain from start to its astonishing finish.

Carbohydrate Chemistry

Volume 23

By: R. J. Ferrier

Annotation A review of the literature published in 1989 on mono- and oligosaccharide chemistry--illustrating continuing general advances on all fronts with strong emphasis on the development of synthetic methods and their application to problems with origins in biology. Many examples of this are given in the sections on oligosaccharides, nucleosides and antibiotics, while the role of carbohydrate chemistry in general organic chemistry is well illustrated by the many complex conversions of sugar derivatives into enantiomerically pure natural substances of a non-carbohydrate nature. Once again, however, biological issues--in this case medicinal--are commonly the driving forces behind the work. Acidic paper. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Securities and Obscurities

A Case for Reform of the Law of Company Accounts

By: R. J. Chambers

During the 1960s and 1970s a remarkable series of books was produced by academic staff in the field of accounting at the University of Sydney. It was a period when academic research was largely analytical rather than empirically-based. For the most part, the interests of academics at Sydney were largely directed at questioning the status quo - either in the way accounting or auditing was practiced, or in the conventional wisdom expressed in text books of the time. The Sydney Accounting Classics series reflects the diversity of interests of the 'Sydney school' at that time. It also recognises the tremendous impact of the foundation professor of accounting, R.J. Chambers. This reprint series ensures that the ideas developed during this period remain available to new generations of scholars and researchers. The Sydney Accounting Classics series is an intiative of the Accounting Foundation, in association with Sydney University Press. Securities and Obscurities: In this book Chambers presents examples of financial practices in the UK, US, Canada and Australia and exposes the deficiencies in reported financial information. Chambers intended the work to be controversial. It continued his contention that precise definitions of accounting terms needed to be agreed upon, to ensure that investors, company directors, auditors and accountants were talking about the same things.

The Beaten Track of Science

The Life and Work of J.J.M. de Groot

By: R. J. Zwi Werblowsky

Der hollandische Kolonialbeamte und Professor der Sinologie in Berlin (1854-1921) hat bahnbrechend auf dem Gebiet der chinesischen Volkskunde und Religionsgeschichte gearbeitet. Zu seinen Hauptwerken gehoren u.a. Le Code du Mahayana en Chine und The Religious System of China. Daneben hat de Groot fur Emile Guimet, Grunder des Musee Guimet, die Figuren eines volksreligiosen Pantheon zusammengetragen, das heute, neben einer spateren Sammlung von Otto Franke in Berlin, einzigartiges Studienmaterial bietet. Der Jerusalemer Religionswissenschaftler Zwi Werblowsky wurdigt in diesem Band erstmals de Groots Leben und Werk, wobei er sich wesentlich auf unveroffentlichte Quellen, so de Groots Tagebuch, stutzt.
