Sidetracks: Explorations of a Romantic Biographer
ISBN: 9780679757719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Eine Quantenfeldtheorie mit Permutationssymmetrie
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...

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.

Coleridge: Early Visions is the first part of Holmes's classic biography of Coleridge that forever transformed our view of the poet of 'Kubla Khan' and his place in the Romantic Movement. Dismissed by much recent scholarship as an opium addict, plagiarist, political apostate and mystic charlatan, Richard Holmes's Coleridge leaps out of the page as a brilliant, animated and endlessly provoking...

The great Medieval castle of Pontefract in Yorkshire - where Richard II was held and murdered after his deposition - was besieged three times during the English Civil Wars. Held by Royalists and described by Oliver Cromwell no less as 'one of the strongest inland garrisons of the kingdom' the castle was slighted and left in ruins after it was finally taken by Parliament after the third and last siege during the second Civil War of 1648. This fine account of the three sieges, out of print since its publication in 1887, fills a much needed gap in studies of the military history of the...

Une théorie des champs quantiques avec une symétrie permutationnelle
ISBN: 9786204304700 / Francuski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Une théorie physique se mesure à sa capacité à fournir une description mathématique complète, convaincante et unifiée des propriétés observées de la matière. Le modèle standard répond en grande partie à ces critères. Cependant, la théorie laisse ouverte une grande variété de questions, avec un grand nombre de paramètres "d'entrée" et un certain nombre de lacunes philosophiques. Par exemple, il n'y a pas d'explication théorique à l'existence de trois générations de particules observées. Il n'y a pas d'explication de l'ordre des masses des particules au sein des...
