The Complete Knight's Cross
The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, to give it its full name, owes its origins to the 'Pour le Merite' (Blue Max), an imperial award dating back to 1740. The Complete Knight's Cross volumes tell the story of all 7,364 men who were granted the award (including all the disputed awards). The three volumes have over 200 photos of holders of the medal and over 100 photos of their graves. Volume One deals with 1939-41 (numbers 1-1267) and is subtitled 'The Years of Victory'. Volume Two deals with 1942-43 (numbers 1268-3685) and is subtitled 'The Years of Stalemate'. Volume Three deals with 1944-45 (numbers 3686-7364) and is subtitled 'The Years of Defeat'. The recipients are listed in the order of the date of award. Each entry starts with the recipient's rank and name, followed by details of the action or actions for which they were granted the award. Other interesting facts and stories are also included for many of the awards. Burial locations, where known, are also given. Any higher awards (Oak Leaves, Swords, Diamonds and the ultimate Golden award) are also covered.
Tod des Chefs oder Die Liebe zur Opposition
Wolfgang Schreyer, profilierter Romanautor, legt hier ein Bühnenstück vor, das die Liaison faschistischer Diktatur und bürgerlicher Scheindemokratie behandelt. Eine künstliche Opposition wird ins Leben gerufen, um eine demokratische Fassade zu demonstrieren und gleichzeitig einer wirklich revolutionären Entwicklung vorzubeugen. Doch die als Scheinopposition gegründete "zweite Partei" entpuppt sich als durchaus aktionsfähige politische Kraft, und in die vom "Chef" aufgestellten Attrappen kommt unversehens Leben ... Wolfgang Schreyer kennt sich aus in Atmosphäre, Milieu und Politik der mittelamerikanischen Republiken. Sein Stück beruht auf historischen Vorgängen in der Dominikanischen Republik in den Jahren 1961 bis 1965. Das Motiv wurde ebenfalls in dem Roman "Der Adjutant" verwendet, der von der DEFA 1971 verfilmt wurde. Das Volkstheater Rostock führte 1974 das gesellschaftskritische Stück auf, verlagert auf einen anderen Kontinent enthält es etliche Spitzen zur DDR-Politik.

Working on Mars
Beginning in 2004, a team of geologists and other planetary scientists did field science in a dark room in Pasadena, exploring Mars from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by means of the remotely operated Mars Exploration Rovers (MER). Clustered around monitors, living on Mars time, painstakingly plotting each movement of the rovers and their tools, sensors, and cameras, these scientists reported that they felt as if they were on Mars themselves, doing field science. The MER created a virtual experience of being on Mars. This book examines how the MER has changed the nature of planetary field science. NASA cast the rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, as "robotic geologists," and ascribed machine initiative to remotely controlled actions. Clancey argues that the actual explorers were not the rovers but the scientists, who imaginatively projected themselves into the body of the machine to conduct the first overland expedition of another planet. The author investigates how the design of the rover mission enables field science on Mars, explaining how the scientists and rover engineers manipulate the vehicle and why the programmable tools and analytic instruments work so well for them.

Derivados Climáticos ¿logran mitigar el riesgo del productor agrícola?
El factor climático ha producido históricamente cuantiosos efectos en la economía. Según el Instituto Meteorológico Británico, se estima que más del 80% de la actividad económica está influenciada, directa o indirectamente, por los diferentes eventos del clima. Por este motivo, el hombre ha buscado la forma de reducir el impacto del mismo sobre ciertas actividades íntimamente ligadas al clima. El presente trabajo tiene el objetivo de responder al interrogante acerca de la utilidad de los Derivados Climáticos para mitigar el riesgo que introducen las precipitaciones sobre el rinde agrícola. En particular, el análisis se centró en opciones (put) sobre precipitaciones en dos zonas...
