Aidans quest for his true identity and the Darcanians best kept secrets will alter everything in the ancient families Not so long ago, Aidan lived happily within Darca Castle, the impressive rock fortress of the Darcanians. Then he had to leave and endured more than anyone could imagine. Was it fate that he survived three attempts on his life or was he destined to save an entire civilization? Now, he has made a terrifying decision. But at what cost?
Geodetic reference frames are the basis for The programme of the Symposium was divided three-dimensional, time dependent positioning according to the Sub-commissions, Projects in all global, regional and national networks, in and Study Groups of Commission 1 into eight cadastre, engineering, precise navigation, geo- general themes: information systems, geodynamics, sea level studies, and other geosciences. They are 1. Combination of space techniques necessary to consistently estimate unknown 2. Global reference frames and Earth rotation parameters using geodetic observations, e. g. , 3. Regional reference frames station coordinates, Earth orientation and 4. Interaction of terrestrial and cel...
Theodore Blanchaille is searching for the missing millions of the Boer leader Paul Kruger, and his lost city of gold. As a child he had heard tales of Kruger from a wayward priest; what follows is an astonishing journey that takes Blanchaille through a landscape peopled with spies, visionaries, terrorists, traitors, patriots and exiled presidents. From huge transit camps on the veld to a notorious prison block, from a township in the bloody aftermath of 'pacification' to a secret travellers' rest for fleeing pilgrims, and from the streets and cellars of Soho to paradise at last on a Swiss mountainside, Kruger's Alp is a fantastical political satire of extraordinary invention.
Das vorliegende Buch ist der Versuch, die historischen Ereignisse, die unter dem Begriff "Gallischer Krieg" allgemein bekannt und anerkannt sind, kritisch zu beleuchten. Alles, was wir über diesen Krieg und die beteiligten Stämme wissen, stammt aus der Feder Caesars, der zugleich Feldherr und Autor war. Obwohl die heute bekannte Geschichte über diesen Krieg als eine zusammenhängende und logische Handlung präsentiert wird, lässt sie bei näherer Betrachtung eine Menge Zweifel aufkommen. Dem von göttlichen und machtpolitischen Motiven gelenktem Handeln Caesars soll durch eine Parteinahme für die betroffenen Völker deren verzweifeltes Ringen um Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit ein höherer Stellenwert eingeräumt werden.
This volume presents over ninety papers in English, French, German and Italian from the Congress held at Copenhagen in 1992.
Carbon Monoxide in Organic Synthesis A thoroughly up-to-date overview of carbonylation reactions in the presence of carbon monoxide In Carbon Monoxide in Organic Synthesis: Carbonylation Chemistry, expert researcher and chemist Bartolo Gabriele delivers a robust summary of the most central advances in the field of carbonylation reactions in the presence of carbon monoxide. Beginning with a brief introduction on the importance of carbon monoxide as a building block in modern organic synthesis, the author goes on to describe metal-catalyzed carbonylations utilizing iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese. Descriptions of palladium, ruthenium, and rhodium-catalyzed reactions follow, as do d...
Der 30-jährige Krieg erscheint heutzutage sehr weit in der Vergangenheit zu liegen. Dabei hat er unser Land, von der Sprache bis zur kollektiven Psychologie, entscheidend geprägt. Die Schlacht bei Höchst im Jahre 1622 war dabei entscheidend für den weiteren Verlauf des Krieges. Basierend auf einer umfassenden Quellenrecherche werden die Ereignisse rund um die Schlacht hier zum erste Mal detailliert rekonstruiert. Das reich mit zeitgenössischen Abbildungen illustrierte Buch beschreibt aber auch leicht zugänglich die Gesellschaft und den Alltag der Menschen im 17. Jahrhundert. Vor Allem aber ist es eine spannende Geschichte von Krieg, Plünderungen und Größenwahn, aber auch von großem strategischen Geschick, persönlichem Mut und bürgerlichem Heldentum, die es wert ist, erzählt zu werden.
The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure, properties and mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic synthesis, medical research, biology and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad range of topics of pure and applied organometallic chemistry, where new breakthroughs are being achieved that are of significance to a larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are generally invited by the volume editors. All chapters from Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are published OnlineFirst with an individual DOI. In references, Topics in Organometallic Chemistry is abbreviated as Top Organomet Chem and cited as a journal
