Anti-Knowledge
The America of 2021 bears little resemblance to that of merely a decade ago, and journalist Christian Schneider has been there to document it all - from the rise and fall of the Tea Party to a deadly pandemic killing nearly three-quarters of a million Americans to a violent insurrection in the halls of the U.S. Capitol. Schneider, a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors, has spent over a decade writing about the cultural phenomena that brought America to where it is today. While society once built on the knowledge of prior generations, Americans are now in what he calls the "Golden Era of Anti-Knowledge" - where all facts are negotiable and public figures are incentivized to hold tightly to preposterous positions, rather than backtrack to ones more plausible. "Anti-Knowledge: Essays From the Era of Negotiable Truth" is a greatest hits of Schneider's work from the past decade (or so.) Schneider's work, featured in USA Today, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Review and other publications, blends wit and traditional conservatism to provide a unique perspective on the American culture over the past ten years.
Burnet - Ferguson - Schneider
This book is a story of the people who gave birth to my father's family and the times in which they lived. The Ferguson and Schneider families are fairly recent arrivals in America by genealogical standards. My great-grandfather Ferguson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, arriving in the United States while still an infant in 1848. My great-grandfather Schneider was born in Germany and came here in 1868. The Burnet side of the family goes back to the earliest settlers of this country and has its roots on Long Island, New York, in 1643 while still under Dutch rule. That family intermarried with the Dutch of New York City and flourished in trade and medicine, playing significant roles in the early growth of this nation. Throughout the book, I've tried to present stories of who these long-dead ancestors were - what their lives were like and the circumstances that shaped their destinies.
Rubble and Redemption
'No Europeans live there ' exclaim the locals when the Schneider family moves to the slums of Manila. Yet garbage dumps and tin shacks are to be their home for many years. This is the couple's account which tells of countless fascinating encounters, of friendship and betrayal, and of meaningless death and meaningful life.
Our Key To Eternity
Christian Schneider is a world-famous physicist. His ideas about "God and the world" naturally correspond with current mainstream thinking. He is married, has three adult children and lives in a traditional, upper-middle class, intact world. But appearances are deceptive; not everything is as it appears, and a few things seem to be completely different from how he expects them to be. Quite unexpectedly, Christian finds himself confronted with major problems. Following a severe stroke of fate, which severely endangers his very existence, he sets out on an extraordinary and fascinating journey into an unimaginably strange world, where he gradually learns to call his entire worldview into question. Sustained by unconditional love, he gains completely new and far-reaching insights into the cornerstones of his life and that of all human beings. His opinions about matter and spirit, space and time, mankind and animals, men and women, sin and punishment, life and death, and not least his opinions about 'God' are radically changed.
Die liturgische Gegenwart des abwesenden Königs
The aim of this study is to give a more precise interpretation, using the commemorative form of activity of confraternity, of the function and purpose behind such depictions, in the case of a few selected early medieval images of rulers, from the historical and social contexts of their genesis and the liturgical and commemorative aims of their use.
Light in the World of Nanotechnology
This essential gives an overview of the physical principles underlying nanotechnology, which today make it possible to use microscopic effects technologically. Methods are presented which allow the production of nanostructures with highest precision. In the last chapter the author gives an overview of exciting technological applications, starting with the use of nanotechnology-based effects in church glass windows to solar cells and CCD chips. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Licht in der Welt der Nanotechnologie by Christian Schneider, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2016. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
