Die Weltlinie
By: Maalampi, Jukka; Stern, M. (trans.)
Published by: Springer
Das Buch ist eine unterhaltsame und formelfreie Darstellung der modernen Physik vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. Das Leben Albert Einsteins und seine wissenschaftlichen Leistungen ziehen sich als roter Faden durch den Text. Der Autor erlAutert zentrale Begriffe und Ergebnisse der modernen Physik in populArwissenschaftlicher Form aus der historischen Perspektive. Der Leser erfAhrt auf amA1/4sante Weise, wie sich die moderne Physik entwickelt hat. Wir begegnen PoincarA(c), Lorentz und Hilbert, Boltzmann und Bohr, Minkowski, Planck, de Broglie, Hubble und Weyl, Gamow, Hahn und Meitner, Kapiza und Landau, Fermi und vielen anderen berA1/4hmten Wissenschaftlern. Was hatte Eddington gegen Chandrasekhar und was hatte Einstein gegen Schwarze LAcher? Warum sollten Raumtouristen, Traumtouristen und Weltraumtraumtouristen nicht am Loch Ness, sondern auf der sicheren Seite eines Schwarzen Loches Urlaub machen? Warum wetterte Pauli gegen Einstein? Stimmt die Sache mit der Atombombenformel? Vermatschte Materie, Urknall und kosmische Hintergrundstrahlung, Gravitationswellen und Doppelpulsare, die kosmologische Konstante und die Expansion des Universums sind weitere Themen, die den Leser in Atem halten und kein geistiges Vakuum aufkommen lassen.

The Equation that Couldn't Be Solved
By: Livio, Mario
Published by: SIMON & SCHUSTER
In living, detailed portraits, the novel segues through an army boat, an old missionary ship, the depths of a Haitian prison, and a squatters' camp in the shadow of an HIV hospital. Voodoo Lounge emerges as a novel of longing and love, of excess and bareness, of betrayal flowing in the blood, and the cold, blind passion for redemption.

Erhabene Welten
By: Lehto, Olli; Stern, M. (trans.)
Published by: Birkhauser Basel
Rolf Nevanlinna (1895-1980) war ein weltberA1/4hmter Mathematiker, eine umstrittene politische Gestalt, eine AutoritAt auf dem Gebiet der Kultur und eine charismatische PersAnlichkeit. In allen Phasen seines Lebens waren die Mathematik und die Musik seine Leitsterne. a žMan muss sein Leben der Arbeit widmen und nach den erhabenen Welten streben" war sein Motto. Durch die Entwicklung der spAter nach ihm benannten Nevanlinna-Theorie erlangte er in den 1920er Jahren Weltruf. Er wurde zum Professor der UniversitAt ZA1/4rich berufen und zum PrAsidenten der Internationalen Mathematischen Union gewAhlt. Er blieb bis zu seinem Lebensende eine einflussreiche KulturpersAnlichkeit und zeichnete sich insbesondere als Sibelius-Spezialist aus. - Professor Olli Lehto (Helsinki), der Autor dieser umfassenden Biographie, kannte Rolf Nevanlinna A1/4ber viele Jahrzehnte, zunAchst als Student, dann als Assistent und schlieAlich als Kollege. Das Buch gibt tiefgehende Einblicke in das Leben eines genialen Mathematikers und in die wechselvolle Geschichte Finnlands.

Experiment and Natural Philosophy in Seventeenth-century Tuscany
By: Boschiero, Luciano
Published by: Springer
The Accademia del Cimento (1657-1667) was the first institution in Europe purporting to use an experimental method in its scientific inquiries. This work counters historiographies that search for the origins of modern science within the experimental practices of Europe's first scientific institutions, such as the Cimento.

Felix Berezin
By: Shifman, M (ed.)
Published by: World Scientific
Felix Berezin was an outstanding Soviet mathematician who in the 1960s and 70s was the driving force behind the emergence of the branch of mathematics now known as supermathematics. The integral over the anticommuting Grassmann variables that he introduced in the 1960s laid the foundation for the path integral formulation of quantum field theory with fermions, the heart of modern supersymmetric field theories and superstrings. The Berezin integral is named for him, as is the closely related construction of the Berezinian, which may be regarded as the superanalog of the determinant. This book features a masterfully written memoir by Berezins widow, Elena Karpel, who narrates a remarkable account of Berezins life and his struggle for survival under the totalitarian Soviet regime. Supplemented with recollections by his close friends and colleagues, Berezins accomplishments in mathematics, his novel ideas and breakthrough works, are reviewed in two articles written by Andrei Losev and Robert Minlos.

The Fifth Postulate
By: Bardi, Jason Socrates
Published by: Wiley
The great discovery that no one wanted to make. It's the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and Euclidean geometry has been profoundly influential for centuries. One mystery remains, however: Euclid's fifth postulate has eluded for two thousand years all attempts to prove it. What happens when three nineteenth-century mathematicians realize that there is no way to prove the fifth postulate and that it ought to be discarded—along with everything they'd come to know about geometry? Jason Socrates Bardi shares the dramatic story of the moment when the tangible and easily understood world we live in gave way to the strange, mind-blowing world of relativity, curved space-time, and more. "Jason Socrates Bardi tells the story of the discovery of non-Euclidian geometry—one of the greatest intellectual advances of all time—with tremendous clarity and verve. I loved this book.". —John Horgan, author, The End of Science and Rational Mysticism. "An accessible and engrossing blend of micro-biography, history and mathematics, woven together to reveal a blockbuster discovery.". —David Wolman, author of Righting the Mother Tongue and A Left-Hand Turn around the World
