With this collection of short and fascinating biographical pieces, the award-winning biographer of Coleridge and Shelley offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious art of biography. When researching, Richard Holmes has often become captivated by figures peripheral to his main subject, literary forays that he couldn't resist. These tales-the forbidden love of John Stuart Mill, the bizarre novel of Oscar Wilde's tragic grand-uncle, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's nightmarish yet cathartic final trip to Paris-are part of what comprises Sidetracks, a marvelously original...

ISBN: 9786204304687 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Eine physikalische Theorie wird an ihrer Fähigkeit gemessen, eine vollständige, überzeugende und vereinheitlichende mathematische Beschreibung der beobachteten Eigenschaften der Materie zu liefern. Das Standardmodell erfüllt diese Kriterien in hohem Maße. Allerdings lässt die Theorie eine Vielzahl von Fragen offen, mit einer großen Anzahl von "Eingabe"-Parametern und einer Reihe von philosophischen Unzulänglichkeiten. So gibt es zum Beispiel keine theoretische Erklärung dafür, warum es drei beobachtete Teilchengenerationen gibt. Es gibt keine Erklärung für die Anordnung der Massen...

The Little Field Marshal : A Life of Sir John French
ISBN: 9780304367023 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite being the most capable cavalry leader of his generation, Sir John French has always aroused controversy. Posterity has judged him an unfeeling butcher, responsible for more deaths in the first two hours of the battle of Loos than all the casualties on both sides in the 1944 D-Day landings. But French has another side, revealed in his private papers-- a side filled with affairs and personal torment. An esteemed Professor of Military and Security Studies tells French's compelling, dramatic story.
