Excerpt: Herbert Thomas Mandl (August 18, 1926 - February 22, 2007) was a Czechoslovak-German-Jewish author, concert violinist, professor of music, philosopher, inventor and lecturer. He authored novels, stories and dramas that are inspired by the extraordinary events of his life. Mandl was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, the son of Czech-Jewish parents, the engineer Daniel Mandl and Hajnalka Mandl. He was educated in Jewish and Czech schools in Bratislava and in Brno. He began to play the violin at the age of 6. The Mandls were living in Brno when the remains of Czechoslovakia were annexed by Nazi Germany on March 15, 1939. Mandl was 13 at the time. In 1942, Mandl and his parents were deported to the Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto. In 1944, Mandl and his father were transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, thence to several Dachau-Kaufering satellite camps, where Mandl's father died. At the end of World War Two, Mandl was repatriated to Czechoslovakia where he was reunited with his mother. Once free, Mandl returned to his studies. He was ultimately awarded a doctorate in the performing arts (violin) from the Academy of Performing Arts (Akademie Múzických Umní) in Prague, where he met his future wife, Jaroslava (Slavi), a concert pianist. While professors of music at the Janáek Conservatory in Ostrava, the Mandls developed several plans for escaping to the West from the oppressive conditions in Communist Czechoslovakia. Mandl himself finally succeeded in Cairo, where he broke away from his tourist group and applied for asylum at the United States Embassy in ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19698385 ... Read more

Extrait : Jaroslav Heyrovský (20 décembre 1890 à Prague, République tchèque - 27 mars 1967 à Cambridge, Angleterre) est un physico-chimiste tchèque lauréat du prix Nobel de chimie en 1959. Jaroslav Heyrovský est le cinquième fils de Leopold Heyrovský et Klara (née Hanel). Son père et son grand-père étaient tous les deux avocats, mais dès son enfance il est attiré par les sciences. En 1904, la presse décrit les travaux menés par William Ramsay sur la découverte et l'isolation de gaz nobles qui lui valent le prix Nobel de chimie, ce qui décidera Heyrovský d'entreprendre des études de chimie physique. En 1909, il s'inscrit à la faculté de philosophie de l'université Charles de Prague où il suit des cours de physique, mathématiques et chimie. Découvrant qu'il ne peut étudier la chimie physique dans cette université, il parvient à décider son père de l'inscrire à l'University College de Londres où William Ramsay enseigne. Il suit alors les cours d'électrochimie de Frederick G. Donnan, qui lui suggère de poursuivre une thèse dans ce domaine. Il obtient un BSc en 1913 devient l'assistant de Donnan cette même année. Ses travaux sont interrompus par le début de la Première Guerre mondiale. Alors de retour chez lui pour les vacances d'été, au lieu de retourner à Londres, il est enrôlé dans l'armée austro-hongroise et sert dans les hôpitaux militaires. À la fin de la guerre il peut passer son examen de doctorat à l'université Charles de Prague. Il entre ensuite dans le laboratoire du professeur Bohumil Kučera, auteur d'une méthode pour mesurer la tension de surface de mercure polarisé en pesant des gouttes de mercure d'...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: John Amos Comenius (Czech: ; Slovak: ; German: ; Polish: ; Hungarian: ; Latinized: Iohannes Amos Comenius) (28 March 1592 4 November 1670) was a Czech teacher, educator, and writer. He served as the last bishop of Unity of the Brethren, and became a religious refugee and one of the earliest champions of universal education, a concept eventually set forth in his book Didactica Magna. He is often considered the father of modern education. Comenius originated from Moravia, but history has no accurate record of his birthplace. There are three possible locations: Koma, Nivnice, or Uherský Brod (all three locations are in Uherské Hradit District, southeastern Moravia, Czech Republic). His ancestors came from Hungary during the 16th century and his original family name was Szeges (his first name was János Szeges) according to his will found in 1968 by Milada Blekastad, a monographer of Comenius. He attended the Latin school in Perov (he later returned to this school as a teacher 1614-1618). He continued his studies in Herborn (16111613) and Heidelberg (16131614). Comenius was greatly influenced by the Irish Jesuit William Bathe as well as his teachers Johann Piscator, Heinrich Gutberleth, and particularly Heinrich Alsted. The Herborn school held the principle that every theory...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=171133 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Jaroslav Heyrovský (Czech pronunciation: ) (December 20, 1890 March 27, 1967) was a Czech chemist and inventor. Heyrovský was the inventor of the polarographic method, father of electroanalytical chemistry, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1959. His main field of work was polarography. Jaroslav Heyrovský was born in Prague on December 20, 1890, the fifth child of Leopold Heyrovský, Professor of Roman Law at the Charles University in Prague, and his wife Clara, née Hanl. He obtained his early education at secondary school until 1909 when he began his study of chemistry, physics, and mathematics at the Charles University in Prague. From 1910 to 1914 he continued his studies at University College, London, under Professors Sir William Ramsay, W. C. McC. Lewis, and F. G. Donnan, taking his B.Sc. degree in 1913. He was particularly interested in working with Professor Donnan, on electrochemistry. During the First World War Heyrovský worked in a military hospital as a dispensing chemist and radiologist, which enabled him to continue his studies and to take his Ph.D. degree in Prague in 1918 and D.Sc. in London in 1921. Heyrovský started his university career as assistant to Professor B. Brauner in the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Charles University, Prague; he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1922 and in 1926 he became the University's first Professor of Physical Chemistry. Heyrovský's invention of the polarographic method dates from 1922 and he concentrated his whole further scientific activity on the development of this new branch of electrochemistry. He formed a school of Czech polarographers in the University, and was himself in...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=143705 ... Read more
