The Adventurous Life of Friedrich Georg Houtermans, Physicist (1903-1966)

Published on 2013-01-30 by Springer Science & Business Media

The physicist Friedrich Houtermans (1903-1966) was an essential promoter and proponent of the development of physics in Berne. He introduced a number of activities in the field of elementary particles, with a special focus on the physics of cosmic rays, and important contributions in applied physics. This biography of Houtermans was written by Edoardo Amaldi and was almost finished just before his unexpected death in 1989. The editors have only corrected typographical errors and have introduced only minimal text changes in order to preserve the original content. Additionally they have collected and included unpublished pictures and memories from Houtermans’ students and collaborators. The text is the result of a thorough and intensive study on Houtermans’ life and character carried out by Edoardo Amaldi. It is more than a biography, since the figure of Houtermans is set in a historical perspective of Europe between the two world wars. This book will be of great interest to historians and historians of science.

Murdered by Capitalism: A Memoir of 150 Years of Life and Death on the American Left
By:"John Ross"
Published on 2009-04-28 by Nation Books

A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2004 After spilling bourbon on Schnaubelt's grave, its pugnacious and very dead occupant becomes Ross's mentor, sidekick, and boozing companion through this epic telling of the hallucinatory, carnal, and ornery histories of the American Left and John Ross's own remarkable life. Schnaubelt navigates us through his seemingly boundless revolutionary battleground, uttering cries of subversion from within the grave while trying to remain out of earshot from the FBI snoop and local supermarket tycoon buried nearby. Ross's own story--hobo revolutionist, junkie, poet, and journalist is a contrapuntal to Schnaubelt's. Ross never takes himself too seriously, yet his most remarkable trait is the honesty with which he approaches life, even while trying to deconstruct his own faults, personal tragedies (including the death of his one-month-old son), and imperfections. His pursuit of revolutionary politics and poetics is the constant, often spent with his muse, Revolutionary Mexico. Ross concludes with a trip to Baghdad as a \

Published on 2012-03 by WestBow Press

A knowledge of physics aids in understanding the events in our lives on the everyday level. Indeed, this is true with simple mathematics, permitting solutions to many numerical problems. At this level of difficulty, the mathematics correspond to the requirements of problems in engineering and are typically covered in the curriculum requirements for a master s degree. The author chose this level of complexity for his work, calling himself an engineering physicist, and enjoyed solving a variety of such problems. His autobiography deals with these, interwoven with events of family and spiritual life.
