Book Description

In the field of business, finance and economy, the English language has taken first place, even between people, institutions and countries whose respective native tongues are foreign to the English language. Spanish has become a very necessary language in different countries, thus, the combination of both languages provides an instrument of communication that is indispensable and unavoidable.

This dictionary takes into account the frequent difficulties which economists, financiers, interpreters and others may have, in fully understanding the scope of a given field, expressions or even words, that in the highly specialised jargon of economics have acquired very concise meanings. Intensive research into definitions in the extremely vast field of economics, finance and business, has produced a dictionary well designed to fulfill the needs of users of a two-language dictionary. Proper and very factual explanations and definitions are given for each word or group of words, thus making absolutely clear to professionals which term to use.

Book Description

The International Survey of Family Law, published on behalf of the International Society of Family Law, is the successor to the `Annual Survey of Family Law'. It provides information, analysis and comment on recent developments in Family Law across the world on a country-by-country basis. The Survey is published annually and its subtitle reflects the calendar year surveyed. Where a country has been regularly surveyed each year, the developments discussed correspond to the year in question. If certain countries have not been surveyed for some years the contributions will usually attempt to cover the intervening period. If countries are being covered for the first time, then more background information will be provided about the state of family law in the country in question. The Survey also contains an article dealing with the more significant developments in international law affecting the family.

Book Description

FRITZ HABER -- a Nobel laureate in chemistry, a friend of Albert Einstein, a German Jew and World War I hero -- may be the most important scientist you have never heard of. The Haber-Bosch process, which he invented at the turn of the twentieth century, revolutionized agriculture by converting nitrogen to fertilizer in quantities massive enough to feed the world. The invention has become an essential pillar for life on earth; some two billion people on our planet could not survive without it. Yet this same process supplied the German military with explosives during World War I, and Haber orchestrated Germany's use of an entirely new weapon -- poison gas. Eventually, Haber's efforts led to Zyklon B, the gas later used to kill millions -- including Haber's own relatives -- in Nazi concentration camps.

Haber is the patron saint of guns and butter, a scientist whose discoveries transformed the way we produce food and fight wars. His legacy is filled with contradictions, as was his personality. For some, he was a benefactor of humanity and devoted friend. For others, he was a war criminal, possessed by raw ambition. An intellectual gunslinger, enamored of technical progress and driven by patriotic devotion to Germany, he was instrumental in the scientific work that inadvertently supported the Nazi cause; a Jew and a German patriot, he was at once an enabler of the Nazi regime and its victim.

Master Mind is a thought-provoking biography of this controversial scientist, a modern Faust who personifies the paradox of science, its ability to create and to destroy. It offers a complete chronicle of his tumultuous and ultimately tragic life, from his childhood and rise to prominence in the heady days of the German Empire to his disgrace and exile at the hands of the Nazis; from early decades as the hero who eliminated the threat of starvation to his lingering legacy as a villain whose work led to the demise of millions.

Barely known Giant that has Shaped the Modern World .......2007-10-09

It is often said the four people who had the most effect on the twentieth century were Einstein, Marx, Freud, and Darwin. Fritz Haber has to be close to number five.
Mankind's food production, yield per acre, has always been limited to the amount of nitrogen that becomes "fixed" into the soil as nitrates. Historically crops were rotated; fields were alternately planted with nitrogen fixing plants to improve yields. In 1909, Fritz Haber's invention showed that man could fix nitrogen, and when teamed up with Carl Bosch, the process could yield ammonia on an industrial scale. Large quantities of nitrogen fertlizer and gunpowder was the result. Thus German manufacture of gunpowder extended Germany's resistance in World War I for years because of this crucial process.
The Author shows the sad irony of war, ideology, and hate. Fritz Haber, a German Jew converted to Christianity to better blend in with the higher echelons of German industrialists as he became very wealthy. He Invented various gases used in gas attacks and one insecticide gas called Zyklon-B, which would be used in the death camps for the extermination of in-mates years later.
A fun loving gregarious Nobel Prize winning industrialist that was a failure as a father and husband, also misread the significance of the Nazis coming to power in Germany. He could not comprehend being robbed on his possessions, business agreements, and professional positions and finally fleeing to Switzerland where he died a broken man in 1934. The book is well written and researched. The last few chapters after Haber's death are a nice touch to the book, It traces Fritz Haber's family after the war and some of the Haber-Bosch machinery used in World War I then again in WWII and finally to help the East German Government make ends meet as late as the 1980's.

This in not just a good book, it is a Great Book!.......2007-02-19

The world would be a different place were it not for Fritz Haber. It is a must read for anyone that would like to get a feeling of what Germany and the pre-WWI world was like. We may not have had a WWI and consequently a WWII without great men like Alfred Nobel and Fritz Haber, and yet great scientists cure diseases in the pursuit of Nobel approval and the world eats by the grace of Fritz Haber.

sloppy history.......2007-02-04

Daniel Charles, otherwise a reporter with NPR, has written this relatively short biography of Fritz Haber, which I found to be a disappointment. Fritz Haber was by all accounts an extraordinary chemist, a Nobel Laureate, a German patriot, and a tragic figure in twentieth-century Germany's tragic history.

One of Haber's greatest technical accomplishments was to devise a way of extracting nitrogen from the air, without which Germany would have folded within 6 months of entering the First World War for lack of gunpowder, though one wonders if Haber, Germany, and Europe wouldn't have fared better without his invention. On the other hand, today this invention allows more than a billion people have food to eat thanks to fertilizer made with the same method.

This biography was a disappointment; some of the facts he offers are demonstrably incorrect, some of the facts he offers are, to be polite, wildly exaggerated, and informed voices that strongly dispute the opinions he cites go unmentioned.

To wit: Charles writes that Lunge had a position, and Haber was offered a position at the University of Zurich. These positions were at Zurich's Polytechnic, a totally different institution and arguably the finest Polytech in the German-speaking world.

- Charles writes that "Haber was a founder of the military-industrial complex." This is amazing as the Krupp Steel Works, which made Germany's artillery, had for years been so important to Germany that the Kaiser himself busied himself with finding a suitable husband for Bertha Krupp.

- Charles writes: "John Dewey's prophecy of 1918 has been proven correct; the marriage of science and military power has endured. And its spiritual heritage leads back to Dahlem," (where Haber had his lab.) He wrote this more than two millenia after Archimedes, the precocious Greek physicist and mathematician, invented ingenious weapons with which his fellow Syracusans fended off the Romans during the Second Punic War...

- Charles quotes a source that "apparently it was a common view among scientists at Haber's Institute" that his wife, committed suicide to protest his work developing chemical weapons, but omits to mention that one of Haber's other biographers, the son of friend of Haber's, has written that there were those who claim that her suicide was a political statement, but that the family rejects these theories as a politically convenient myths. Haber's son deemed this other biography as the best one yet. Charles himself writes that the family had a history of suicides and that Clara Haber had had serious emotional problems for a long time. Incidentally, the symptoms of her emotional problems are indistinguishable from those of a heavy metal intoxication; Clara Haber's doctoral thesis was on her experimental work with heavy metals and their salts. Hmmm.

I believe that basic human decency would have obliged Charles to either go into meaningful detail on all the relevant facts and opinions surrounding Clara Haber and her tragic death, or else leave her to her well-deserved rest. Instead, you can read the book and conclude that Charles insinuates that Haber drove his wife to her death. This is beyond tacky, and the reason I give this book one star, and not two.

Make no mistake about it, Fritz Haber was a brilliant scientist, whose life is profoundly interesting. The one motif in Haber's life that Charles largely does justice, and which is moving, is Haber's tragic quest to assimilate himself into German society, only to suffer persecution as a Jew at the hands of the parvenu filth that came to misgovern Germany.

The Moral Dilemma.......2006-03-01

I think the real dilemma in science comes when we insert "ego" in the place of morality and use the argument that "If I don't, then someone else will." But what we don't realize is that when we "do"...we ARE that someone else!! I guess in the end we can't be responsible for someone else's misuse of technology...can we?

I'm not done reading the book but so far it's awesome!

A Look at the Scientific Mind.......2005-11-15

The mind of a scientist is a curious thing. A scientist is obviously driven by curiosity but what sparks that curiosity and what puts some scientific minds above others is a problem. The lives of Newton and Einstein have picked over for clues but, often, more clarity can be seen in the lives of the brilliant, if lesser, scientific minds. Fritz Haber is such an example.

Haber was the inventor of the process by which nitrogen can be produced on an industrial scale. This may not seem important but it is the process by which nitrogen fertilizers were invented, allowing food production on a scale never before seen. It is estimated that nearly a third of the current population of the earth could not be supported without the food production allowed by these fertilizers, for which Haber was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918.

Newton & Einstein have a genius that stands alone but what similarities do we see with Haber, who happened to be a good friend of Einstein's? From what this book describes, it seems to be mainly the intense focus, concentration and hard work that these men brought to bear on problems. A touch of genius doesn't hurt, but without hard work, it amounts to nothing and, as Haber's life demonstrates, hard work and dedication can take you a long way.

So, with the great importance of his work, why is Haber basically unknown? Well, Haber's focus and hard work led him to ignore the morality of some of the implications of his work. In particular, his work with nitrogen contributed greatly to Germany's military might during World War I and World War II, nitrogen being the basic ingredient of explosives. The irony of this is that, despite his work for Germany's greatness in the early twentieth century, his Jewish heritage (even though he practiced Christianity for most of his adult life) made him anathema in Germany upon the rise of the Nazis. At his death in 1934, he was rejected--by the world because of his support of Germany and by Germany because of his Jewishness.

If the prose here is a little bland and somewhat less than penetrating in spots, Mr. Charles does offer us a portrait of the scientist as a blind seeker. For knowledge, yes, but also for recognition of his accomplishments in the public sphere. Perhaps this is where the life of Haber and Einstein most significantly diverge and makes us think Haber the lesser man. In any case, it is a life worth investigating for both its triumphs and its warnings.

Book Description

The physical formation mechanisms of optogalvanic effects in ionized gases are considered in this comprehensive monograph, as well as the effects themselves, and their diverse applications. The work explores the influence of irradiating light on the impedance of plasma discharges: glow discharges, discharges with hollow cathodes, and thermoionic diodes. Optogalvanic effects in flames and rarefied gas are also analyzed and optical schemes to study a number of phenomena which register optogalvanic signals are presented. The applications of the optogalvanic effect which are discussed include spectrochemical analysis techniques, high-precision laser frequency stabilization, plasma diagnostics, and isotope separation. Over the past 25 years the importance of low temperature discharges and gases in materials processing has been recognized, and this monograph will be an invaluable source of reference for research specialists in this area.

Book Description

Wagner, Descending could be read as a trip through hell (hence the title) if we look at hell as being North Carolina hill country. The character appears to be a pure misanthrope, but in reality he's a horribly abused, morbidly obese man with a great heart and a brilliant mind. The novel reveals what his physical condition has led him to. He has become a victim of his own size, a living consequence of his enormity.

Customer Reviews:

A very funny read, but with a real "attitude"........2004-03-25

I really enjoyed "Wagner, Descending: Wrath of the Salmon Queen", but I would caution it is not for all tastes. Wagner is not lovable: A very huge dude, at the opening of this wild ride of a book, he's just escaped from a pricy Fat Farm. For reasons diverse, he needs to escape the geographic confines of North Carolina. His mother (The "Salmon Queen") has commited him to this fat farm, and Wagner wants o-u-t of North Carolina. So, this is a road novel. And during it, you meet the darndest assortment of weirdos, etc., and they are all very, very funny and highly original stuff. Has some "cut" to it, too, about today present society. Negative? Well, if there is one, it is the character himself. Foul-mouthed, unapologetic, not good with people. By page 90, there isn't one political interest group that author Warner has not managed to offend. I loved it!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets A Confederacy of Dunces.......2004-01-29

Imagine Ignatius J. Reilly, the protagonist in A Confederacy of Dunces, twenty years older, twenty years wiser (and more neurotic), and 150 pounds fatter. Now imagine that Reilly has escaped from a North Carolina lunatic asylum that's masquerading as a fat farm. He is on the loose in a stolen laundry truck, wearing nothing but a hospital gown. His brain is addled by the intensely powerful drugs that have been pumped into him by the asylum's Nazi-like director. Like the characters in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, our hero's on a road trip where reality is mutable and paranoia is a given.

This wonderful novel is a fine read and it goes down quickly, easily and pleasurably. My only complaint is that the author deserved better editing; there are some plot inconsistencies and typos that a competent editor would have corrected immediately. Nevertheless, I give the book a strong recommendation.

long live the Queen.......2004-01-22

Irreverent,an uproarious "who let the dogs out" romp of a tale. Like an updated Ken Kesey ride, replete with colorful scenes and characters.

great quick read.......2004-01-07

this is an original, interesting story. very witty, i actually laughed out loud on the train while i read it. got a bit ridiculous at the end, but the ridiculous added to the overall humor.
