My Roots Continents Apart
It is 1934 in La Paz when Elsa, a charming Bolivian of Inca descent, meets Jan, a handsome Czech engineer. Three days later he proposed marriage to her. In 1938, when multitudes abandon the Old Continent, they move to Prague with two children born in Argentina. My Roots Continents Apart is an inspiring account of a family's struggle to survive and stay together during the turmoil of Second World War in Europe. The narrative unfolds across venturesome places and situations in Czechoslovakia, Rumania and the Balkans, alongside Jan's role as member of the Czech Resistance. The Nazis convicted him, yet Albert Goering, brother of Herman, saved his life. During the harsh winter of 1946 the family ...
Hermann and Albert Goering
They were the most unlikely siblings - one, Adolf Hitler's most trusted henchman, the other a fervent anti-Nazi. Hermann Goering was a founder member of the Nazi Party, who became commander of the Luftwaffe, ordering the terror bombing of civilians and prompting the use of slave labour in his factories. His brother, Albert, loathed Hitler's regime and saved hundreds - possibly thousands - across Europe from Nazi persecution. He deferred to Hermann as head of the family but spent nearly a decade working against his brother's regime. If he had been anyone else, he would have been imprisoned or executed. Despite their extreme and differing beliefs, Hermann sheltered his brother from prosecution and they remained close throughout the war. Here, for the first time, James Wyllie brings Albert out of the shadows and explores the extraordinary relationship of the Goering brothers.
The Warlord and the Renegade
There is a continuing interest in the history of Hitler's Third Reich. This is a quirky, untold story of Hitler's Third Reich that uncovers the Goring brothers' bizarre relationship. It is illustrated with many rare archive photographs.
Les Frères Goering : le nazi et le résistant
«Il m’a dit que si je voulais protéger les juifs et les aider, c’était mon affaire, mais que je devais faire preuve de plus de prudence et de tact à cet égard, car je lui créais des difficultés sans fin.» Albert Goering, 25 septembre 1945 Lorsque qu’Albert Goering se rend aux forces américaines le 8 mai 1945 à Salzbourg, à tout juste une trentaine de kilomètres d’où son frère Hermann est arrêté quelques heures plus tard, son nom de famille suffit à faire de lui un coupable. Prisonnier, il dresse une liste de 34 personnes qui peuvent témoigner de ses activités de résistance pendant la guerre, et il explique à des inspecteurs alliés un peu sceptiques que celles-ci n’auraient pu être possible sans Hermann, qui n’essaya jamais d’y mettre fin et lui sauva la vie à plusieurs reprises... Dans cet ouvrage, James Wyllie sort Albert de l’ombre et met en lumière les relations de deux frères que tout opposait idéologiquement. James Wyllie est auteur et scénariste. Il est notamment l’auteur du best-seller Femmes de nazis (Alisio, 2020). Il a travaillé sur de nombreux films pour la BBC et a beaucoup écrit pour des séries télévisées.
The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes o...
Catalogue of Risks
Since the German edition of this book, the topic of risk has experienced even greater attention, not only in the world of science but also in other fields, such as economics and politics. Therefore, many new publications have evolved. To keep with the idea of an encyclopedia for the topic of risk, this book has been completely reworked. Not only are many updated examples included in chapter “Risks and disasters” but also new chapters have been introduced, such as the chapter “Indetermination and risk”. This new chapter was developed since the question “Is it possible for risks to be completely eliminated, and if not why?” has become a major point of c- cern. Therefore, especially...

Volatile Organic Compounds in the Atmosphere
Every day, large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere from both anthropogenic and natural sources. The formation of gaseous and particulate secondary products caused by oxidation of VOCs is one of the largest unknowns in the quantitative prediction of the earth’s climate on a regional and global scale, and on the understanding of local air quality. To be able to model and control their impact, it is essential to understand the sources of VOCs, their distribution in the atmosphere and the chemical transformations which remove these compounds from the atmosphere. In recent years techniques for the analysis of organic compounds in the atmosphere have...
