Working-Class Politics in the German Revolution
Richard Müller, a leading figure of the German Revolution in 1918, is unknown today. As the operator and unionist who represented Berlin’s metalworkers, he was main organiser of the ‘Revolutionary Stewards’, a clandestine network that organised a series of mass strikes between 1916 and 1918. With strong support in the factories, the Revolutionary Stewards were the driving force of the Revolution. By telling Müller's story, this study gives a very different account of the revolutionary birth of the Weimar Republic. Using new archival sources and abandoning the traditional focus on the history of political parties, Ralf Hoffrogge zooms in on working class politics on the shop floor and its contribution to social change. First published in German by Karl Dietz Verlag as Richard Müller - Der Mann hinter der November Revolution, Berlin, 2008, this english edition was completerly revised for the english speaking audience and contains new sources and recent literature.
If the Walls Could Speak
If the Walls Could Speak focuses on the lives of women in prison in postwar communist Poland and how they took on different roles and personalities to protect themselves and create a semblance of normality, despite abuses and prison confinement, and reveals how life in a Stalinist prison adds to our understanding of coercion and resistance under totalitarian regimes.
Calvin and the Reformed Tradition
Richard Muller, a world-class scholar of the Reformation era, examines the relationship of Calvin's theology to the Reformed tradition, indicating Calvin's place in the tradition as one of several significant second-generation formulators. Muller argues that the Reformed tradition is a diverse and variegated movement not suitably described either as founded solely on the thought of John Calvin or as a reaction to or deviation from Calvin, thereby setting aside the old "Calvin and the Calvinists" approach in favor of a more integral and representative perspective. Muller offers historical corrective and nuance on topics of current interest in Reformed theology, such as limited atonement/universalism, union with Christ, and the order of salvation.
Summary of Richard A. Muller's Energy for Future Presidents
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 2011 earthquake in Japan struck the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was designed to withstand a large earthquake, but not a 50-foot tsunami. The reactor was severely damaged, and many feared that the uranium inside would explode like an atomic bomb. #2 A nuclear bomb is made when a nuclear reactor blows up. In a nuclear reactor, the uranium is typically only 4 percent U-235, with the rest consisting of heavy uranium, U-238. The chain reaction never gets going unless a trick is employed. #3 At Fukushima, the most modern reactors did not need auxiliary cooling systems, but the most damaged reactors did. The most modern reactors do not depend on auxiliary power systems to keep them cool, but the most damaged reactors did. #4 Following the Fukushima nuclear accident, radioactive iodine and cesium were released. These two elements are the most dangerous because they decay quickly, releasing radiation as they go.
Summary of Richard A. Muller's Now
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The meaning of now is one of the many mysteries of time. It is a simple yet fascinating and mysterious concept. Now refers to a specific time, but the time it refers to is constantly changing. #2 The rate of time is not just a quandary of science fiction. It is difficult for humans to detect the difference between the flow of time when it moves at a slower rate and when it moves at a faster rate. #3 The concept of now is extremely difficult for humans to understand. We know what time is, but we can’t describe it. We know that there is no past or future, but only three presents: a present of things past, memory; a present of things present, sight; and a present of things future, expectation. #4 The flow of time is an aspect of reality that the physicist sometimes seems inclined to neglect. However, there is hope that physicists will address the now conundrum in future theories.
The Retinal Müller Cell
The human brain contains more than a billion neurons which interconnect to form networks that process, store, and recall sensory information. These neuronal activities are supported by a group of accessory brain cells coll- tively known as neuroglia. Surprisingly, glial cells are ten times more - merous than neurons, and occupy more than half the brain volume (Hydén, 1961). Although long considered a passive, albeit necessary, component of the nervous system, many interesting and unusual functional properties of glial cells are only now being brought to light. As a result, the status of these cellular elements is approaching parity with nerve cells as a subject for experimental study. The t...
Schubert, Müller, and Die Schöne Müllerin
The collaboration of Schubert and the poet Wilhelm Müller produced some of the best loved of nineteenth-century lieder - in particular the song cycle Die schöne Müllerin. Professor Youens shows us how this archetypal tale of love and rejection, which has its origins in medieval romance, Minnesong and popular German legend, is reflected in the poet's own experience, the realms of art and life intertwining. Professor Youens considers other poets' explorations of the theme of a miller maid and her suitors, and looks at other musical settings of Müller's mill poems. But above all she examines Müller's permutation of the literary legends as an exploration of erotic obsession, delusion, frenzy, disillusionment and death and the way in which Schubert crucially altered Müller's vision when the poetic cycle became a musical text.
Physics and Technology for Future Presidents
Physics for future world leaders Physics and Technology for Future Presidents contains the essential physics that students need in order to understand today's core science and technology issues, and to become the next generation of world leaders. From the physics of energy to climate change, and from spy technology to quantum computers, this is the only textbook to focus on the modern physics affecting the decisions of political leaders and CEOs and, consequently, the lives of every citizen. How practical are alternative energy sources? Can satellites really read license plates from space? What is the quantum physics behind iPods and supermarket scanners? And how much should we fear a terror...
Remembering Edith Alice Müller
Edith Alicia Müller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at different occasions, give in this book their memories of her. Her fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however, far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of young astronomers.
