Turkulainen Marko From (s. 1967) on julkaissut runoja ja proosaa vuodesta -87 lähtien. ”Jarkko Päkäjoen nuoruusvuodet” on mustan huumorin sävyttämä tarina raivosta, päihteistä ja seksuaalisesta hämmennyksestä, mutta se on myös tarina ystävyydestä, veljeydestä ja rakkaudesta.
Als Psychotherapeut, Sozialwissenschaftler und Philosoph gehört Erich Fromm zu den wegweisenden Gestalten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist ein prominenter Diagnostiker der Krisen der westlichen Welt, ein Kritiker unseres konsumistischen Lebensstils und von gesellschaftlichen Zuständen in denen nicht der Mensch sondern das schnelle Plusmachen im Mittelpunkt steht. Die Werte des Seins wollte Fromm über denen des Habens angesiedelt wissen. Er dachte so unterschiedliche Geisteswerke wie die von Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Baruch de Spinoza und Meister Eckhart zusammen, im Sinne des Hegelschen Aufhebens. Eine erneuerte Psychoanalyse und marxistische Soziologie bekommen bei ihm ganz eigene Wesenszüge. In dem vorliegenden Band wird eine Auswahl von Beiträgen vorgestellt, die sich mit dem Spannungsfeld Haben oder Sein auseinandersetzen und welche Potentiale die innere Aufklärung, sozialpsychologischer Wandel bereithalten könnte, um die drohende ökologische Selbstzerstörung des Menschengeschlechts vielleicht noch abzuwenden zu können. Aber auch Themen wie Religion, Schule und ein alternatives Wirtschaftssystem kommen zur Sprache. Die Beiträge setzen sich mit dem Gedankengut Erich Fromms auseinander und ziehen dabei eigene Schlüsse für zukünftige gesellschaftliche Perspektiven. Autoren des Bandes sind: Burkhard Bierhoff, Marko Ferst, Erich Fromm, Rainer Funk, Helmut Johach, Maik Hosang, Heike Koall, Roman Kotliar, Milan Machovec, Rainer Otte, Johannes Rau, Hans Jürgen Schultz, Helmut Wehr

From Aspirin to Viagra, insulin to penicillin, and vaccines to vitamin supplements, drugs have become part of our everyday lives. This staggering global industry wasn’t born overnight; advancements in pharmaceutical science have been happening for a long while, over the course of decades and even centuries.This book tells the history of ten prominent substances and how they came to be common household names. It shows how the creation of such influential drugs often began with the right person at the exactly right—or wrong!— time. The chapters tell the stories of geniuses and charlatans; scholars and amateurs; advances won through hard work or pure luck; and ultimately, the handful of resounding successes that revolutionized a global industry.Beyond the pioneers of the most famous drugs in our culture, the book analyzes how our perspective on medical treatment has shifted over the decades. Modern standards for testing and administering substances have created a new set of advantages, setbacks, and stigmas, all of which are discussed herein.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author andhumorist. He is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. He apprenticed with a printer. He also worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion's newspaper. After toiling as a printer in various cities, he became a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, before heading west to join Orion. He was a failure at gold mining, so he next turned to journalism. While a reporter, he wrote a humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", which became very popular and brought nationwide attention. His travelogues were also well received. Twain had found his calling. -wikipedia
Kiyosi Ito's greatest contribution to probability theory may be his introduction of stochastic differential equations to explain the Kolmogorov-Feller theory of Markov processes. Starting with the geometric ideas that guided him, this book gives an account of Ito's program. The modern theory of Markov processes was initiated by A. N. Kolmogorov. However, Kolmogorov's approach was too analytic to reveal the probabilistic foundations on which it rests. In particular, it hides the central role played by the simplest Markov processes: those with independent, identically distributed increments. To remedy this defect, Ito interpreted Kolmogorov's famous forward equation as an equation that describes the integral curve of a vector field on the space of probability measures. Thus, in order to show how Ito's thinking leads to his theory of stochastic integral equations, Stroock begins with an account of integral curves on the space of probability measures and then arrives at stochastic integral equations when he moves to a pathspace setting. In the first half of the book, everything is done in the context of general independent increment processes and without explicit use of Ito's stochastic integral calculus. In the second half, the author provides a systematic development of Ito's theory of stochastic integration: first for Brownian motion and then for continuous martingales. The final chapter presents Stratonovich's variation on Ito's theme and ends with an application to the characterization of the paths on which a diffusion is supported. The book should be accessible to readers who have mastered the essentials of modern probability theory and should provide such readers with a reasonably thorough introduction to continuous-time, stochastic processes.
As the first European to travel extensively throughout Asia, Marco Polo was the earliest bridge between East and West. His famous journeys took him across the boundaries of the known world, along the dangerous Silk Road, and into the court of Kublai Kahn, where he won the trust of the most feared and reviled leader of his day. Polo introduced the cultural riches of China to Europe, spawning centuries of Western fascination with Asia. In this lively blend of history, biography, and travelogue, acclaimed author Laurence Bergreen separates myth from history, creating the most authoritative account yet of Polo's remarkable adventures. Exceptionally narrated and written with a discerning eye for detail, Marco Polo is as riveting as the life it describes.
