The untold story of J.M.W. Turner's friend and greatest rival, pioneering watercolour artist Thomas Girtin

Amusing, irreverent, sophisticated and highly accessible, Einstein for Beginners is the perfect introduction to Einstein's life and thought. Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we meet scientific luminaries and personalities of imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday, and Newton; learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light; and follow Albert's thought as he works his way toward E = mc2, the most famous equation of the twentieth century.

»Was ist genau die Moral des ›Lear‹? Offenbar gibt es zwei. Die eine ist die gewöhnliche, die des gesunden Menschenverstandes, wie sie der Narr ausspricht: Verzichte nicht auf Macht! Gib dein Land nicht weg! Die andere Moral ist in der Geschichte implizit enthalten: Gib dein Land weg, wenn du willst; aber erwarte nicht, dass du dadurch glücklich wirst. Wahrscheinlich wirst du nicht glücklich. Wenn du für andere lebst, musst du für andere leben und darfst dir nicht auf diese Weise hintenherum selbst einen Vorteil verschaffen wollen.« George Orwell Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch

This edition of Richard III features seven scenes, opening with the Duke of Gloucester’s villainous “Winter of our discontent” speech and followed by his audacious wooing of Lady Anne. Queen Margaret’s chilling curses, Richard’s string of murders, and the haunting chants of his victims’ ghosts are stage drama at its best. The climax is a gripping battle in which the Earl of Richmond slays Richard and becomes King of England. There is also an essay by editor Nick Newlin on how to produce a Shakespeare play with novice actors, and notes about the original production of this abridgement at the Folger Shakespeare Library’s annual Student Shakespeare Festival. The edition includes a preface by Nick Newlin, containing helpful advice on presenting Shakespeare in a high school setting with novice actors, as well as an appendix with play-specific suggestions and recommendations for further resources.

Ein Comic über Marx? Geht das denn? Darf man den großen Charlie so vereinfachen? Rius nimmt Marx zu ernst, um ihn den \"Studierten\" zu überlassen. Einer, dessen Werk die Welt verändert hat, gehört allen. Dieses Werk freilich ist harte Kost. Rius macht es verdaulich: mit zeichnerischem Witz, dokumentarischem Spürsinn und didaktischem Geschick. Marx' Leben, die Wurzeln seiner Philosophie, die Kämpfe seiner Zeit und ihre Ursprünge sind zu einer lebendigen Bildgeschichte verwoben - und Charlie selbst kommt kräftig zu Wort dabei.
