Women's Rights and the French Revolution
Women played a major part in the French Revolution of 1789, but have received very little recognition for their contributions. The many claims and protests put forth by women at that time were suppressed, women's clubs were banned, and Olympe de Gouges, a leading contemporary advocate for women's rights, was silenced and has since remained an obscure figure. This book is the first biography of this astonishing woman.After boldly publishing her Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen in 1791, de Gouges was sent to the guillotine for having had the courage to mount the rostrum on behalf of women. Unlike many who have captured posterity's attention, de Gouges had great symp...

The French Army's Tank Force and Armoured Warfare in the Great War
Recent scholarship has challenged the assumption that military commanders during the First World War were inflexible, backward-looking and unwilling to exploit new technologies. Instead a very different picture is now emerging of armies desperately looking to a wide range of often untested and immature scientific and technological innovations to help break the deadlock of the Western Front. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the development of tank warfare, which both the British and the French hoped would give them a decisive edge in their offensives of 1917 and 1918. Whilst the British efforts to develop armoured warfare have been well chronicled, there has been no academic study i...
Philip of Spain
Philip II of Spain—ruler of the most extensive empire the world had ever known—has been viewed in a harsh and negative light since his death in 1598. Identified with repression, bigotry, and fanaticism by his enemies, he has been judged more by the political events of his reign than by his person. This book, published four hundred years after Philip's death, is the first full-scale biography of the king. Placing him within the social, cultural, religious, and regional context of his times, it presents a startling new picture of his character and reign. Drawing on Philip's unpublished correspondence and on many other archival sources, Henry Kamen reveals much about Philip the youth, the m...
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality Über das Eintauchen in neue, von Menschen geschaffene Wirklichkeiten. Mit Beiträgen von Marc Bodmer, Jennifer Beck, Neal Hartman, Tina Sauerländer, Peggy Schoenegge, Maike Thies, Wolfgang Ullrich, Matthias Zehnder und Annina Zwettler. Sechster Band der erfolgreichen Reihe "Edition Digital Culture". Virtual Reality war schon früh auf der Wunschliste der Computerentwickler. Der Traum von der Überwindung der flachen Bilderwelt ist alt und taucht bereits in barocken Kirchenkuppeln auf. Das Zauberwort heisst Immersion, das Eintauchen in eine künstliche Umgebung. Die Digitalisierung hat diesen Traum für Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft nun in greifbare Nähe gebracht.Die zweisprachige Publikation beleuchtet das Potenzial der neuen Formen von Immersion im Bereich der Kultur mit Beispielen aus Film, Fernsehen, Museen, Kunst, Bildung, Unterhaltung und Gaming. Projekte wie Birdly, Desktop Jacob Burckhardt Digital oder das Werk von Mélodie Mousset werden vorgestellt. Seitenblicke auf die Industrie (Medizin, Architektur) ergänzen die Darstellung. Ein umfangreiches Glossar im Anhang erklärt die wichtigsten Begriffe.
Reactions And Synthesis In Surfactant Systems
This work offers a comprehensive review of surfactant systems in organic, inorganic, colloidal, surface, and materials chemistry. It provides practical applications to reaction chemistry, organic and inorganic particle formation, synthesis and processing, molecular recognition and surfactant templating. It also allows closer collaboration between synthetic and physical practitioners in developing new materials and devices.
Electrochemically Assisted Remediation of Contaminated Soils
This book provides an overview of the current development status of remediation technologies involving electrochemical processes, which are used to clean up soils that are contaminated with different types of contaminants (organics, inorganics, metalloids and radioactive). Written by internationally recognized experts, it comprises 21 chapters describing the characteristics and theoretical foundations of various electrochemical applications of soil remediation. The book’s opening section discusses the fundamental properties and characteristics of the soil, which are essential to understand the processes that can most effectively remove organic and inorganic compounds. This part also focuse...
