The Austrian Mind
Part One of this book shows how bureaucracy sustained the Habsburg Empire while inciting economists, legal theorists, and socialists to urge reform. Part Two examines how Vienna's coffeehouses, theaters, and concert halls stimulated creativity together with complacency. Part Three explores the fin-de-siecle world view known as Viennese Impressionism. Interacting with positivistic science, this reverence for the ephemeral inspired such pioneers ad Mach, Wittgenstein, Buber, and Freud. Part Four describes the vision of an ordered cosmos which flourished among Germans in Bohemia. Their philosophers cultivated a Leibnizian faith whose eventual collapse haunted Kafka and Mahler. Part Five explain...
Physics of Self-Organization and Evolution
This thoroughly updated version of the German authoritative work on self-organization has been completely rewritten by internationally renowned experts and experienced book authors to also include a review of more recent literature. It retains the original enthusiasm and fascination surrounding thermodynamic systems far from equilibrium, synergetics, and the origin of life, representing an easily readable book and tutorial on this exciting field. The book is unique in covering in detail the experimental and theoretical fundamentals of self-organizing systems as well as such selected features as random processes, structural networks and multistable systems, while focusing on the physical and theoretical modeling of natural selection and evolution processes. The authors take examples from physics, chemistry, biology and social systems, and include results hitherto unpublished in English. The result is a one-stop resource relevant for students and scientists in physics or related interdisciplinary fields, including mathematical physics, biophysics, information science and nanotechnology.
Schubert's Late Lieder
Schuberts Late Lieder is a study of selected songs for voice and piano composed by Schubert between 1822 and his death on 19 November 1928. Circa late 1822, Schubert was diagnosed with syphilis, and many of the songs discussed in this book were written under the seal of impending death. It is possible to locate in these songs a late song style, full of elegiac references to Schuberts other death-haunted works and marked by distinctive variation techniques. Youens also introduces six of the poets whose texts Schubert set to music.
Goering's List
Almost 50 years after World War II, the collectors who possess the priceless art once plundered by the Nazis are dying under mysterious circumstances.

Breitenbach 1650 - 1910 von A-K
Ein Orts- und Familienbuch von 1650 bis 1910 der Gemeinde Breitenbach. Breitenbach ist heute ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Schauenburg im nordhessischen Landkreis Kassel. Der Ort wird erstmals 1408 in einem Sühnebrief der Stadt Wolfhagen als Breydenbach erwähnt. Es ist aber anzunehmen, dass das Dorf älter ist, denn der noch stehende Kirchturm mit seinen romanischen Formen könnte aus dem 12 Jahrhundert stammen. Der Name des Ortes wird von Breida (Flur) abgeleitet. Bekannte Persönlichkeiten sind Johann Friedrich Krause und Albert (Ali) Schindehütte. Zu Ehren von Johann Friedrich Krause und Demoiselle Maria Hassenpflug (aus Hoof), beide haben viel zu den Märchen der Brüder Grimm beigetragen, wurde 1997 im alten Feuerwehrhaus die "Schauenburger Märchenwache" errichtet. Gegründet wurde die Märchenwache von dem Künstler Albert (Ali) Schindehütte, wohnhaft in Hamburg und geboren in Breitenbach.
