The SA Generals and the Rise of Nazism
No part of the Nazi movement contributed more to Hitler's success than the Sturmabteilung (SA) -- the notorious Brown Shirts. Bruce Campbell offers the first in-depth study in English of the men who held the three highest ranks in the SA. Organized on military lines and fired by radical nationalism, the Brown Shirts saw themselves as Germany's paramilitary saviors. Campbell reveals that the homogeneity of the SA leadership was based not on class or status, but on common experiences and training. Unlike other investigations of the Nazi party, The SA Generals and the Rise of Nazism focuses on the military and political activities of the Brown Shirts to show how they developed into SA Leaders. ...
Simon Marius and His Research
The margravial court astronomer Simon Marius, was involved in all of the new observations made with the recently invented telescope in the early part of the seventeenth century. He also discovered the Moons of Jupiter in January 1610, but lost the priority dispute with Galileo Galilei, because he missed to publish his findings in a timely manner. The history of astronomy neglected Marius for a long time, finding only the apologists for the Copernican system worthy of attention. In contrast the papers presented on the occasion of the Simon Marius Anniversary Conference 2014, and collected in this volume, demonstrate that it is just this struggle to find the correct astronomical system that makes him particularly interesting. His research into comets, sunspots, the Moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus led him to abandon the Ptolemaic system and adopt the Tychonic one. He could not take the final step to heliocentricity but his rejection was based on empirical arguments of his time. This volume presents a translation of the main work of Marius and shows the current state of historical research on Marius.
Blast Wave
In this report the general phenomena connected with a blast wave in air will be discussed. The particular features of the blast wave produced by a nuclear explosion will be emphasized, but many of the developments in this volume will apply generally to blast waves produced by any type of explosion. In this introductory chapter we shall try to give a general idea of the various phenomena occurring in a blast wave in air, of their interrelation and their time sequence. In the following chapters the details of the theory will be given, including curves showing the pressure distribution as a function of time and position. We have not Included any detailed discussion of the effects of an atomic bomb other than the blast effect. Cnly a short discussion of other effects is given in Chapter 3. For further discussion, especially on flash burn and radioactivity, reports on the experience in Japan should be consulted.
Klaus Fuchs, Atom Spy
This intriguing full-length portrait of Klaus Fuchs and his case, based in part on newly available American and British archives on the subject, is an exciting find for general readers in the history of science, espionage, World War II, and the Cold War.
Reminiscences of Louise Romberg Fuchs 1927
We, who live in the Machine Age, can scarcely imagine how our grandparents and parents, who came from a populous country, the home of their parents, and moved with them to the thinly settled state of Texas, passed their youth — under circumstances and surroundings so entirely different from those under which we grandchildren and children live. Therefore, we gladly listen when Grandmother or Grandfather tells of that time: the pioneer days with their sorrows and joys! And so the children and grandchildren of Louise Fuchs have asked her to write down her Reminiscences, so that those days will not vanish for us in the stream of time. Frieda H. Fuchs

Primary Physical Science Education
This open access book is the first of two volumes that integrates a study of direct encounters with Primary Forces of Nature, Wind, Light, Rain, Heat and Cold, Water, etc., with imaginative narrative forms of communication. The approach developed in this book shows how the growth of cognitive tools (first of mythic and then of romantic forms of understanding) lets children make sense of experiencing physical phenomena. An in-depth description of Fluids, Gravity, and Heat as Basic Forces shows how primary sense-making can evolve into understanding of aspects of physical science, allowing for a nature-based pedagogy and application to environmental systems. The final chapter introduces visual metaphors and theatrical storytelling that are particularly useful for understanding the role of energy in physical processes. It explores how a mythic approach to nature can inform early science pedagogy. This book is of interest to kindergarten and primary school teachers as well as early education researchers and instructors.
Innovative Endoscopic and Surgical Technology in the GI Tract
This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the art overview on the main trends in the newest endoscopic, robotic, and minimal invasive surgical innovations. It also aims to give insight on some of the innovative ideas around Gastro-intestinal Surgery and Endoscopy to stimulate further activities. It contains established knowledge in the field of endoscopic and surgical techniques, and the integration of these new findings in updated therapeutic decision making are demonstrated. The text reviews the latest literature on the subjects and describes the decision making to establish new therapeutic options in the management of diseases applying new technologies. These new techniques are described in detail, which provide excellent back-up information for clinicians in daily practice. Written by experts in the field, Innovative Endoscopic and Surgical Technology in the GI Tract is a valuable resource of knowledge for clinicians, surgeons, nurses, technicians, students and researchers with an interest in GI- disease.
