Twenty-Five Years in Africa
Looking for adventure, Vilem Nemec traveled from Prague to Cairo. During his Twenty-Five Years in Africa, Vilem began to see life more like a native than a tourist. Unfamiliar with Arabic when he arrived, he struggled to learn it quickly, working menial jobs to support himself. Vilem not only learned to speak, read, and write Arabic, but he was able to communicate with tribal natives in many remote areas. His travels took him to remote places in Somalia, Abbyssinia, Sudan, and Sinai. Earning respect as a pharmacist and veterinarian, Vilem came into contact with many influential leaders. His memoir is peppered with rich, historical details explained from a firsthand observer and filled with stories of friends—German, Egyptian, Czech—from a woman running from an arranged marriage to a writer influencing Aida. Vilem's own adventures are no less exciting. Whether he's capturing a live caracal or wooing harem women, his stories present a vivid description of Twenty-Five Years in Africa from 1884 to 1910.
Prague to Africa
Vilem Nemec was dreaming about going to Africa for years. He was a pharmacist, just completing his exams, and studying languages, zoology and natural history to prepare himself for the trip, his dream of the future. Then one night, at a party with his friends, who were teasing him that he will never make it, he announced that he is leaving tomorrow. He got himself into a situation from which he could not back out without losing face, so he left for Africa the next day, with no money in his pocket. This is a journal of his two year trip to Cairo from Prague, with many humorous adventures in between. His granddaughter, Jana R. Nemec Jirak, translated the journal from Czech language.
Bessere Welten
Kosmopolitismus, ein Kernbegriff der europäischen Aufklärung, gehört zu den akademischen Modebegriffen der vergangenen Jahre. Dieses Buch lotet erstmals das heuristische Potenzial des Kosmopolitischen für die Geschichtswissenschaften aus. Im Zentrum stehen das konfliktbeladene Aushandeln von Zugehörigkeiten, Ansprüchen und Rechten, die Begegnung mit dem Anderen sowie die normative Reflexion dieser Begegnungen in einer prinzipiell von Ungleichheit und Machtasymmetrien geprägten Welt. Der Band plädiert für Kosmopolitismus als Analyseperspektive, die das konzeptionelle Instrumentarium von transnationaler und Globalgeschichte ergänzt.

Ethics Of Chemistry: From Poison Gas To Climate Engineering
'Overall, this collection of case studies provides an outstanding starting point for understanding the ethics of chemistry. It is an extremely important contribution to the study of chemical ethics … Ethics of Chemistry is a key resource for educators interested in integrating ethics instruction into their chemistry curricula … an important foundation for equipping students with the moral judgement and analytical skills necessary to contend with the ethical issues they are likely to face in their professional lives.'Nature Chemistry'… the book offers a general introduction to many relevant topics concerning the values, responsibilities, and judgements in (and of) chemistry.

Structures on Different Time Scales
Volume 1 of this work presents theory and methods to study the structure of condensed matter on different time scales. The authors cover the structure analysis by X-ray diffraction methods from crystalline to amorphous materials, from static-relaxed averaged structures to short-lived electronically excited structures, including detailed descriptions of the time-resolved experimental methods. Complementary, an overview of the theoretical description of condensed matter by static and time-dependent density functional theory is given, starting from the fundamental quantities that can be obtained by these methods through to the recent challenges in the description of time dependent phenomena such as optical excitations. Contents Static structural analysis of condensed matter: from single-crystal to amorphous DFT calculations of solids in the ground state TDDFT, excitations, and spectroscopy Time-resolved structural analysis: probing condensed matter in motion Ultrafast science
