        Optical Astronomy and the Hubble Telescope

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        This eBook describes the rise of telescopic astronomy in Western Europe, the early 17th century, and the emergence of the Scientific Revolution. Readers will explore the work of American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble who showed that the universe was not static, but rather expanding. As demonstrated by the special collection of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope images presented in Optical Astronomy, Hubble’s over 1.4 million images have transformed how scientists observe the universe and some of its most mysterious phenomena. This eBook is a must-read for any student interested in how astronomers use telescopes to study planets, stars, galaxies, and the structure of the universe.

        Melinda und Dragoman

        Roman

        by György Konrád, Hans-Henning Paetzke

        "Melinda und Dragoman erzählen abwechselnd von sich, der Familie, den Freunden; wobei zu bedenken ist, daß Melinda zwar verheiratet ist, Dragoman aber zum Liebhaber hat. Dragoman, übrigens, war mit Laura verheiratet. Sie war auf den Rollstuhl angewiesen, sie beging Selbstmord. Dragoman nahm Lauras Asche auf seinen Reisen mit. Später kehrte er heim. Ja, eine Art Heimkehr, die für alle gilt - nicht nur für Dragoman, für Melinda, Jeremias Kadrons einzige Tochter, auch für Kobra und Regina, für Magda, die aus lauter Feingefühl starb; für Sarah und Franziska, selbst für die Kleinsten, für István und Döme; für Antal, János und David, den Mann, den Geliebten, den Freund. Parallele Lebensläufe, mit Budapest verwoben. Gegenseitig beleben sie einander. Eine Art wunderbare Rückkehr geschieht, eine Art Befreiung aus dem Gelaß oder aus dem Garten oder aus dem Haus der Erinnerungen; eine Befreiung aus dem »heillosen Durcheinander« eines Gedächtnisses hinein in die beschwichtigende Ordnung eines vital bevölkerten Romanes, wo Leben und Lieben samt den gegensätzlichen Lebensprinzipien ausgetragen werden."

        Defectors and the Liberal Party 1910–2010

        A study of inter-party relationships

        by Alun Wyburn-Powell

        This book is the first analysis of political defections over a long time span. It investigates all the Liberal/Liberal Democrat MPs and former MPs who defected from the party between the elections of December 1910 and May 2010 - around one sixth of all those elected - as well as the smaller number of inward defectors. Each of the 122 defections was an expert judgment on the state of the party at a specific date. The research investigates the timing and reasons for all the defections and reveals long-term trends and underlying causes and apportions responsibility between leaders for them. The author finds some significant differences which distinguished defectors from loyalists and draws wider conclusions about the underlying factors which lead MPs to defect. This book will be of interest to students and lecturers of British politics and anyone interested in the relationship between British political parties in the last century. ;

        Crime, Law and Society in the Later Middle Ages

        by Anthony Musson, Edward Powell

        This book provides an accessible collection of translated legal sources through which the exploits of criminals and developments in the English criminal justice system (c.1215-1485) can be studied. Drawing on the wealth of archival material and an array of contemporary literary texts, it guides readers towards an understanding of prevailing notions of law and justice and expectations of the law and legal institutions. Tensions are shown emerging between theoretical ideals of justice and the practical realities of administering the law during an era profoundly affected by periodic bouts of war, political in-fighting, social dislocation and economic disaster. Introductions and notes provide both the specific and wider legal, social and political contexts in addition to offering an overview of the existing secondary literature and historiographical trends. This collection affords a valuable insight into the character of medieval governance as well as revealing the complex nexus of interests, attitudes and relationships prevailing in society during the later Middle Ages.
