Jews of Lithuania and Latvia: the Graudans
Discovery to Diaspora is a fascinating family journey which breathes life into the times of Jews in Lithuania and Latvia. The Jewish roots in the Baltic Sea region are rife with dualities. In one sense, the region is a beautiful coastal area with large sandy beaches and busy ports. Yet, these same attractions have fraught the region with war and conflict. It is here where the Graudan Family was established. It was also the site in which German Nazis and Latvian collaborators mass murdered thousands of Jews during WWII, including some of the Graudans, (the local population numbered about 7,000 before the war and yet less than 30 Jews remained after the war). Others in the family, through marr...
The Jewel on the Mountaintop
Authored by ESO senior advisor Claus Madsen, the present book comprises 576 action-packed pages of ESO history and dramatic stories about the people behind the organisation. This is the ultimate historical account about ESO and its telescopes in the southern hemisphere, but also about a truly remarkable European success story in research. Spanning the range from the first telescopes to the future platforms of the next generation, it shows how the improvement of the telescopes leads to a continuously changing view of the Universe. With 150 photos and illustrations. Produced especially for ESO's 50th anniversary.
The Evolution of The Milky Way
This review of the most up-to-date observational and theoretical information concerning the chemical evolution of the Milky Way compares the abundances derived from field stars and clusters, giving information on the abundances and dynamics of gas.
Morphological and Physical Classification of Galaxies
The morphological scheme devised by Hubble and followers to classify galaxies has proven over many decades to be quite effective in directing our quest for the fundamental pa rameters describing the extragalactic manifold. This statement is however far more true for spirals than for ellipticals. Echoing the concluding remarks in Scott Tremaine's sum mary talk at the Princeton meeting on Structure and Dynamics of Elliptical Galaxies, "the Hubble classification of spirals is useful because many properties of spirals (gas con tent, spiral arm morphology, bulge prominence, etc. ) all correlate with Hubble time. By contrast, almost nothing correlates with the elliptical Hubble sequence El to E7. ...
Master the GED: Determining Strengths and Weaknesses
Master the GED: Determining Strengths and Weaknesses, part of Peterson's Master the GED 2013, is a full-length practice test designed to help you figure out which areas of study you need to pay special attention to when preparing for taking the GED. This diagnostic test consists of six sections, each with its own time allotment and specific instructions. You will encounter each type of question that is also on the official test. Finally, there are detailed answer explanations and instructions on how to evaluate your essay that will reinforce your knowledge and help you learn from your mistakes.
Cooling Flows in Clusters and Galaxies
X-ray astronomers discovered the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies about 20 years ago. It was later realized that the central gas density in some clusters, and in elliptical galaxies, is so high that radiative cooling is a significant energy loss. The cooling time of the gas decreases rapidly towards the centre of the cluster or galaxy and is less than a Hubble time within the innermost few hundred kiloparsecs. This results in a cooling flow in which the gas density rises in order to maintain pressure to support the weight of the overlying gas. The rate at which mass is deposited by the flow is inferred to be several hundreds of solar masses per year in some clusters. The fraction of clust...

Master the GED: The Language Arts, Writing Test
Peterson's Master the GED: The Language Arts, Writing Test comprises three review chapters exclusively focused on your preparation for the two parts of the Writing test. The material introduces each question type you will encounter in Part I and give you tips and strategies for answering each one. This eBook includes an in-depth writing review to help you with the sentence structure problems that make up about a third of the questions in Part I. The final review chapter pays special attention to the essay you will need to write, reviewing successful writing strategies and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of a number of included sample essays. It concludes with strategies on how to evaluate your own practice essays.
Looking Deep in the Southern Sky
The idea of a joint ESO / Australia meeting on the large number of exciting new facilities that are, or will soon be, available tihne southern hemisphere arose quite naturally. In the optical and the near-infrared, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) will soon be operational. In the radio, the Australia Telescope Com pact Array is going to be upgraded to higher frequencies (20 and 100 GHz), together with an improvement in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) facil ities. Other major facilities, such as the Large Millimetre Array and the lkT are being planned. Moreover, new deep surveys are underway in the southern hemi sphere: the southern Hubble Deep Field, the ESO Imaging Survey (BIS), pan ...
