Excerpt: Rosa Luxemburg (Rosalia Luxemburg, Polish: ; 5 March 1871 15 January 1919) was a Marxist theorist, philosopher, economist and activist of Polish Jewish descent who became a naturalized German citizen. She was successively a member of the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, the German SPD, the Independent Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Germany.

Kapitel: Albert Abraham Michelson, Raymond Bernard Cattell, Joseph T. O'callahan, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Ortwin Renn, Daniel Gorenstein, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Oskar Bolza, Heinz Werner, Edwin Boring. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Albert Abraham Michelson (December 19, 1852 - May 9, 1931) was an American physicist known for his work on the measurement of the speed of light and especially for the Michelson-Morley experiment. In 1907 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. He became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in sciences. Michelson was born in Strzelno, Provinz Posen in the Kingdom of Prussia (now Poland) into a Jewish family. He moved to the United States with his parents in 1855, when he was two years old. He grew up in the rough mining towns of Murphy's Camp, California and Virginia City, Nevada, where his father was a merchant. He spent his high school years in San Francisco in the home of his aunt, Henriette Levy (née Michelson), who was the mother of author Harriet Lane Levy. President Ulysses S. Grant awarded Michelson a special appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1869. During his four years as a midshipman at the Academy, Michelson excelled in optics, heat and climatology as well as drawing. After his graduation in 1873 and two years at sea, he returned to the Academy in 1875 to become an instructor in physics and chemistry until 1879. In 1879, he was posted to the Nautical Almanac Office, Washington, to work with Simon Newcomb, but in the following year, he obtained leave of absence to continue his studies in Europe. He visited the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg, and the Collège de France and École Polytechnique in Paris. Michelson was fascinated with the sciences and the problem of measuring the speed of light in particular. While at Annapolis, he conducted his first experiments of the speed of light, as part of a class demonstration in 1877. After two years of studies in Europe, he res...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ...

Excerpt: Roman Vishniac (pronounced , Russian: ; August 19, 1897 January 22, 1990) was a renowned Russian-American photographer, best known for capturing on film the culture of Jews in Central and Eastern Europe before the Holocaust. A complete archive of his work now rests at the International Center of Photography. Vishniac was an extremely diverse photographer, an accomplished biologist and a knowledgeable collector and teacher of art history. Throughout his life, he made significant scientific contributions to the fields of photomicroscopy and time-lapse photography. Vishniac was very interested in history, especially that of his ancestors. In turn, he was strongly tied to his Jewish roots and was a Zionist later...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1442763 ...

Bekannt wurde der Sohn schwedischer Auswanderer, nachdem er am 30. November 1974 das zu 20 Prozent erhaltene Skelett eines 3,18 Millionen Jahre alten weiblichen Australopithecus afarensis gefunden hatte. Das Fossil erhielt die wissenschaftliche Bezeichnung AL 288-1 („AL" steht für „Afar Locality"), ist aber besser bekannt als „Lucy". Don Johanson wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen in Hartford auf, der Hauptstadt des US-Bundesstaats Connecticut. Als Achtjähriger lernte er einen Nachbarn kennen, der am Theologischen Seminar der Stadt Anthropologie lehrte und als Kulturanthropologe regelmäßig in Tansania und Malawi forschte. Er weckte bei Don das Interesse an der Anthropologie und an Afrika; Dons Vater war gestorben, als der Junge erst zwei Jahre alt war, und der Nachbar hatte gewissermaßen die männliche Vorbildrolle für den Jungen übernommen. Dennoch studierte Don Johanson von Februar 1962 bis Juni 1967 an der University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana: zunächst zwei Jahre lang Chemie; sein Nachbar und Mentor hatte ihm geraten, im Zeitalter der Raumfahrt etwas „praktisches" zu studieren, mit dem man auch Geld verdienen könne - Physik, Chemie oder Biologie, abe...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=734633 ...

Nice little book
This is not a textbook by any means, it is a collection of small papers on various topics in physical optics. Michelson's name is well remembered thanks to his contribution to interferometry and optical testing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in physical optics. ... Read more
