Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sébastien Le Prestre, Seigneur de Vauban and later Marquis de Vauban (15 May 1633 - 30 March 1707), commonly referred to as Vauban, was a Marshal of France and the foremost military engineer of his age, famed for his skill in both designing fortifications and breaking through them. He also advised Louis XIV on how to consolidate France's borders, to make them more defensible. Vauban made a radical suggestion of giving up some land that was indefensible to allow for a stronger, less porous border with France's neighbours. Vauban was born in Saint-Léger-de-Foucheret (renamed Saint-Léger-Vauban in his honour in 1867), in the département of Yonne, in Burgundy, France, into a family of minor nobility. At the age of ten he was left an orphan in very poor circ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Extrait : Zhuge Liang (181 - 234) parfois orthographié Tchou-kö Lieang, Tchou-ko Lieang ou Chu-ko Liang ( , pinyin: Zhūge Liàng) était un célèbre stratège chinois et, avec Sima Yi et Zhou Yu, l'un des plus brillants tacticiens de l'époque des Trois Royaumes. Il s'allia à Liu Bei et en tant que Premier ministre des Shu, mena cinq invasions du royaume de Wei dans le but de restaurer la dynastie Han. Le nom de Zhuge Liang est devenu légendaire et synonyme en Chine d'intelligence et d'esprit. Marquis de Wu, il est souvent fait référence à lui sous son prénom social de Kongming (, Kǒngmíng) ou sous son surnom taoïste de « Dragon accroupi » (, Wòlóng). Ce même surnom est devenu en japonais une expression signifiant « homme exceptionnel » (, garyū ou garyō). Zhuge Liang est connu au Japon sous le nom de Shokatsuryō Kōmei et en Corée sous celui de Jegalryang Gongmyeong. Zhuge Liang est né en l'an 181 (durant les dernières années de la dynastie Han) à Yangdu, Shandong, Chine. Orphelin jeune, il est obligé de fuir le Shandong durant le massacre de 400 000 civils par Cao Cao, puissant seigneur de guerre des plaines centrales. Durant quelques années, il habite une petite ferme de Longzhong, cultivant la terre et formant amitiés avec des célébrités littéraires, militaires, philosophiques (entre autres) du temps.

Excerpt:Anthony Fokker Anton Herman Gerard Fokker (6 April 1890 23 December 1939) was a pioneer in aviation and a Dutch aircraft manufacturer .Early life Anthony (Tony) Fokker was born in Blitar (then Dutch East Indies , now Indonesia ), son of Herman Fokker, a Dutch coffee plantation owner. Some sources say that he was born in Kediri . At that time, Blitar was a part of so-called Kediri Residency, a colonial-era administrative division whose capital was in Kediri.Four years later the family returned to the Netherlands and settled in Haarlem in order to provide Tony and his older sister, Toos, with a Dutch upbringing. Tony was not studious but rather played with model trains and steam engines, and he did not complete his high school education. He devised a leak-proof tire but this was not an original invention and was already patented.Move to Germany Anthony Fokker in 1912.Fokker's first interest in flight stemmed from Wilbur Wright 's exhibition flights in France in the summer and fall of 1908. In 1910, at age 20, Fokker was sent by his father to Germany to receive training as a mechanic , but his interest was in flying , and h... ... Read more

Extrait : Simon Stevin (1548 à Bruges - 1620) fut un ingénieur, un mécanicien et un mathématicien flamand (Belgique). « Wonder en is gheen wonder » fut sa devise. Commis d'un marchand à Anvers de 1564 aux années 1570, Stevin fut employé aux finances du port de Bruges en 1577. Il ne parvint pas à obtenir la franchise des droits sur la bière, et s'expatria l'année suivante : il travailla en Prusse, en Pologne, au Danemark, en Suède et en Norvège. De retour aux Pays Bas en 1581, à 33 ans, il publia un livre sur le calcul des intérêts puis s'inscrivit à l'université de Leyde en 1583. C'est sans doute à l'université que Stevin découvre l'œuvre d'Archimède dans la traduction de Maurolico intitulée les Monumenta (Palerme). Stevin fait dès lors ses premières recherches sur les machines qu'il a vu fonctionner dans les différents arsenaux de la mer du Nord et la fin des années 1580 voit la parution, chez l'imprimeur huguenot Christophe Plantin, de ses principaux ouvrages, notamment la Statique ou l'Art de peser (1586) et l'hydrostatique (1586).

He is commonly known as "the Father of Microbiology", and considered to be the first microbiologist. He is best known for his work on the improvement of the microscope and for his contributions towards the establishment of microbiology. Using his handcrafted microscopes he was the first to observe and describe single celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules, and which we now refer to as microorganisms.

Excerpt: Simon Stevin (1548/49 1620) was a Flemish mathematician and engineer. He was active in a great many areas of science and engineering, both theoretical and practical. He also translated various mathematical terms into Dutch, making it one of the few European languages in which the word for mathematics, wiskunde ("the art of what is certain"), was not derived from Greek (via Latin). Stevin was born in Bruges, Flanders (now Belgium) in the year 1548, to Antheunis Stevin and Cathelyne van der Poort. Very little has been recorded about his life.

It is known that he left a widow with two children; and one or two hints scattered throughout his works inform us that he began life as a merchant's clerk in Antwerp, that he travelled in Poland, Denmark and other parts of northern Europe.
