Hermann von Helmholtz was a towering figure of nineteenth-century scientific and intellectual life. Best known for his achievements in physiology and physics, he also contributed to other disciplines such as ophthalmology, psychology, mathematics, chemical thermodynamics, and meteorology. With Helmholtz: A Life in Science, David Cahan has written a definitive biography, one that brings to light the dynamic relationship between Helmholtz’s private life, his professional pursuits, and the larger world in which he lived. ? Utilizing all of Helmholtz’s scientific and philosophical writings, as well as previously unknown letters, this book reveals the forces that drove his life—a passion to unite the sciences, vigilant attention to the sources and methods of knowledge, and a deep appreciation of the ways in which the arts and sciences could benefit each other. By placing the overall structure and development of his scientific work and philosophy within the greater context of nineteenth-century Germany, Helmholtz also serves as cultural biography of the construction of the scientific community: its laboratories, institutes, journals, disciplinary organizations, and national and international meetings. Helmholtz’s life is a shining example of what can happen when the sciences and the humanities become interwoven in the life of one highly motivated, energetic, and gifted person.
The Helmsley Chronicles collects the best of David's diaries, substantially edited and bolstered with new material celebrating rural and church life.
“From the war torn valleys of Afghanistan to the frozen peaks of the Himalayas, David Wiseman's incredible story is an inspiration to us all.” Andy McNab David Wiseman was the first soldier on the scene of one of the most devastating attacks on British soldiers in Afghanistan, witnessing the horrific aftermath of an attack on unsuspecting troops by a rogue element of the Afghan police, which left five men dead and nine wounded, shaking the British forces in Helmand to the core. Only a few weeks later, and haunted by what he had experienced, David was once again fighting shoulder to shoulder with his Afghan allies, but this time would leave the battlefield with a Taliban bullet lodged deep in his chest, inches from his heart. Helmand to the Himalayas is the dramatic story of his journey in combat, his agonising battle with physical injuries and psychological demons and his life affirming recovery as part of a pioneering mountaineering team. An exhilarating memoir of his gritty tour of Afghanistan, it reveals the day-to-day hardships faced by soldiers in battle, the horrors and absurdities of the conflict and the overwhelming challenges and dangers that have faced British soldiers tasked with mentoring their Afghan allies. With staggering honesty, David reveals how frustration and chance eventually led him to find salvation, renewed purpose and a sense of pride on the slopes of Mount Everest with Walking With The Wounded and an unlikely band of wounded veterans. In his latest step on the road to recovery, David played a key role as Games Co-Ordinator for the inaugural Invictus Games in September 2014, as well as representing the United Kingdom as part of the swimming team. In a competition which saw more than 400 wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women from 13 nations compete, David went on to complete another momentous achievement, winning gold medals in the Men's 100m Freestyle ISD and in the Mixed 4 x 50m Freestyle relay, and silver medals in the Men's 50m backstroke ISD and Men's 50m Freestyle ISD.
Helmi's Shadow tells the sweeping true story of two Russian Jewish refugees, a mother (Rachel Koskin) and her daughter (Helmi). With determination and courage, they survived decades of hardship in the hidden corners of war-torn Asia and then journeyed across the Pacific at the end of the Second World War to become United States citizens after seeking safe harbor in the unlikely western desert town of Reno, Nevada. This compelling narrative is also a memoir, told lovingly by Helmi's son, David, of growing up under the wings of these strong women in an unusual American family.Rachel Koskin was a middle-class Russian Jew born in Odessa, Ukraine, in 1896. Ten years later, her family fled from the murderous pogroms against Jews in the Russian Empire eastward to Harbin, a Russian-controlled city within China's borders on the harsh plain of Manchuria. Full of lively detail and the struggles of being stateless in a time of war, the narrative follows Rachel through her life in Harbin, which became a center of Russian culture in the Far East; the birth of her daughter, Helmi, in Kobe, Japan; their life together in the slums of Shanghai and back in Japan during World War II, where they endured many more hardships; and their subsequent immigration to the United States.This remarkable account uncovers a history of refugees living in war-torn China and Japan, a history that to this day remains largely unknown. It is also a story of survival during a long period of upheaval and war—from the Russian Revolution to the Holocaust—and an intimate portrait of an American immigrant family. David reveals both the joys and tragedies he experienced growing up in a multicultural household in post\-Second World War America with a Jewish mother, a live-in Russian grandmother, and a devout Irish Catholic American father. As David develops a clearer awareness of the mysterious past lives of his mother and grandmother—and the impact of these events on his own understanding of the long-term effects of fear, trauma, and loss—he shows us that, even in times of peace and security, we are all shadows of our past, marked by our experiences, whether we choose to reveal them to others or not.

Caspar David Friedrich: Seine Gedankengange

English summary: Few artists are interpreted as contradictorily as Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), probably the most important German painter of the 19th century. Many consider him the Romantic landscape painter par excellence. For Helmut Borsch-Supan, however, who has studied Friedrich again and again for decades, his paintings are deeply rooted in religious sentiment. In this book, he traces Friedrich's world of thought with regard to what the artist himself called the "idiosyncrasy" that underpinned his personality and creative individuality. It also illuminates the thought processes that connect his works with each other - the complete work thus proves to be a whole. Information about the nature and thinking of Friedrich is provided by his friends and adversaries: Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Christian Dahl, Gerhard von Kugelgen, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Wassili Andrejewitsch Schukowski and Maximilian Speck von Sternburg. German description: Wenige Kunstler werden so gegensatzlich interpretiert wie Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), der wohl bedeutendste deutsche Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Vielen gilt er als der romantische Landschaftsmaler schlechthin. Fur Helmut Borsch-Supan jedoch, der sich seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder mit Friedrich beschaftigt, wurzeln dessen Bilder tief in religioser Empfindung. In diesem Buch zeichnet er Friedrichs Gedankenwelt in Hinblick auf die vom Kunstler selbst so bezeichnete Eigentumlichkeit nach, welche dessen Personlichkeit und schopferische Individualitat grundierte. Erhellt werden zudem die Gedankengange, die seine Werke untereinander verbinden - das Gesamtwerk erweist sich so als Ganzes. Auskunft uber Wesen und Denken Friedrichs geben dessen Freunde und Gegner: Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Christian Dahl, Gerhard von Kugelgen, Georg Friedrich Kersting, Wassili Andrejewitsch Schukowski und Maximilian Speck von Sternburg.

This beautifully illustrated monograph chronicles the architecture of David C. Hovey, FAIA, and his influence on the discipline, as well as the story of his life and career. David Hovey founded Optima in 1978, with the goal of reinventing multifamily housing by combining development and design in a single company. Over the forty-plus years the company has existed, Hovey has built nearly 6,000 residential units. In the process, he has elevated the design of a building type that has, with a few exceptions, been left to developers to produce indifferent work. He challenges the market with something better, something worthy of enfolding families and individuals. Hovey is a modernist, steadfast in his belief in the future, in technology, in material honesty, in structural expression, and in architecture’s ability to improve the lives of people. His work has captured attention, winning critical acclaim as well as many national and regional awards for architecture. The dozen representative projects in this book range from single-family homes to towers and from the company’s early years to the present. Also showcased is Hovey’s work as an abstract sculptor, whose monumental work is installed at some of the multifamily projects examined here. A serious art collector of mostly twentieth-century art, Hovey’s acquisitions are detailed in an illustrated catalogue at the end of the book.
Eine genaue Analyse von Kontinuitat und Wandel in Thoreaus Einstellung zur Politik stellt sein von Mahatma Gandhi und Martin Luther King gepragtes Image als eines Vaters des gewaltlosen Widerstandes in Frage: Thoreaus frappierende Wandlungen - vom Quietismus bis zur Zelebration revolutionarer Gewalt - werden detailliert aufgezeigt und auf ihre Ursachen hin untersucht. Durch die uber rein politikwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen hinausweisende Breite der Darstellung wird mit der vorliegenden Studie zugleich eine deutschsprachige Einfuhrung in Leben und Werk dieses Klassikers der Amerikanischen Literatur verfugbar, fur den sich inzwischen durch die Okologie- und Friedensbewegung auch hierzulande ein grosseres Publikum zu interessieren begonnen hat."
