Unser Universum entstand aus einem Raum, angefullt mit einem Ur-Gas, aus dem mithilfe der Naturgesetze immer komplexere Strukturen entstanden: chemische Elemente, Sterne, Galaxien, Planeten, Lebewesen und schliesslich unser Gehirn als Sitz der menschlichen Intelligenz. Anhand von 10 Meilensteinen zeichnet der Autor den Weg von der Entstehung des Universums bis zum modernen Menschen nach und liefert damit eine wissenschaftlich fundierte und verstandlich geschriebene Geschichte unseres Universums. Der Band enthalt zahlreiche Illustrationen."

This book examines the origins, development and fate of intelligent species in the observable part of our universe. It scrutinizes what kind of information about extraterrestrial intelligent life can be inferred from our own biological, cultural and scientific evolution and the likely future of mankind. There is emphasis on the geological conditions and consequences of life's conquest of land as the pre-condition for the emergence of life with our type of technical intelligence.

Subtitled The archaeology of Middle Saxon Lincolnshire and Hampshire compared', this study assesses and compares the historical and archaeological record of these two counties from the conversion of England in c. 650 to Alfred's reign in 870. One of the author's principal aims is to quantify the involvement of the church in the Middle Saxon economy during this time of fundamental religious, political and social change by examining economic centres, industries and trade. This study makes use of a large collection of metal detector finds, largely neglected until now, which have enabled...

Ausgehend von einer Gegenüberstellung der älteren und neueren deutschen Naturrechtslehre unterzieht Christoph Ulmschneider im ersten Teil den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur Theorie der Eigentumsbegründung um 1800 einer kritischen Würdigung. Dabei stellt der Autor fest, daß die neuere rechtsgeschichtliche Literatur der Eigentumslehre Kants zu Unrecht jede wirkungsgeschichtliche Bedeutung abspricht (Kersting und ihm folgend Küsters). Auch die Annahme Heckers, es sei in dem hier betrachteten Zeitraum eine Annäherung bzw. Verschmelzung von Erwerbstitel und -modus zu verzeichnen, kann - so...

One of the great problems of astrophysics is the unanswered question about the origin and mechanism of chromospheric and coronal heating. Just how these outer stellar envelopes are heated is of fundamental importance, since all stars have hot chromospheric and coronal shells where the temperature rises to millions of degrees, comparable to the temperatures in the stars' cores. Here for the first time is a comprehensive inventory of the proposed chromospheric and coronal heating theories. The proposed heating processes are critically compared, and the observational evidence for the various...

In the opening decades of the twentieth century, Germany was at the cutting edge of arts and humanities scholarship across Europe. However, when many of its key thinkers--leaders in their fields in classics, philosophy, archaeology, art history, and oriental studies--were forced to flee to England following the rise of the Nazi regime, Germany's loss became Oxford's gain.

From the mid-1930s onwards, Oxford could accurately be described as an "ark of knowledge" of western civilization: a place where ideas about art, culture, and history could be rescued, developed, and disseminated freely....
