Fridrich II. Pruský Books

Atomic physics is a pioneering discipline at the forefront of theoretical physics. Thus, the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the first successful preparation of Bose-Einstein condensates of atomic gases. This new edition of Theoretical Atomic Physics takes into account recent developments such as semiclassical theory, periodic orbit theory, scaling properties for atoms in external fields, threshold behaviour of ionization cross sections, and classical and quantum dynamics of two-electron atoms. Moreover, the student finds 48 problems with complete solutions which makes this course the most thorough introduction to the field available.

Frederick the Great (1712-1786), King of Prussia, initiated the Seven Years' War in 1756; outfought the formidable French, Russian, and Austrian armies aligned against him; and established Prussia as a major power, thereby decisively influencing the next two centuries of European history. He was also a brilliant military thinker whose observations arose from extensive battlefield experience.This volume presents a balanced selection from Frederick's writings on strategy, tactics, and mobility; the problems of logistics and a two-front war; the combined use of infantry, cavalry, and artillery; the history of the Prussian army; the critical battles of the Seven Years' War; generalship as an art; and much more. A majority of this material is translated here for the first time in English and available nowhere else. The result is an invaluable glimpse into the inner thoughts of a military genius.

The story follows the Easter Bunny, who joyfully prepares to deliver his colorful eggs, only to discover he has missed Easter entirely. Instead, he finds himself in the midst of Mother's Day celebrations, where eggs are unwelcome. As he grapples with his mistake, children will relate to his predicament. The narrative takes a charming turn when Santa steps in to provide a thoughtful solution, ensuring a delightful resolution that highlights friendship and the spirit of giving.

Der 14. Band der „Veröffentlichungen zur Pharmaziegeschichte“ dokumentiert die Vorträge der Biennale, die vom 22. bis 24. April 2016 in Meißen stattfand, veranstaltet von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Pharmazie. Das Thema beleuchtet die vielfältigen Grenzüberschreitungen in der Pharmazie, die bis heute bestehen. Neben deutschen Pharmaziehistorikern trugen auch polnische Referenten (Iwona Arabas und Anita Magowska) sowie der Schweizer Historiker François Ledermann zur Diskussion bei. Untersucht werden verschiedene Kommunikationsformen, darunter Briefe, wissenschaftliche Sammlungen und Naturalienkabinette. Zudem wird die pharmazeutische Arbeit deutscher Apotheker in Petersburg thematisiert, sowie internationale Einflüsse auf die Erforschung und Nutzung von Giftpflanzen im Baltikum. Es werden auch moralische und akademisch-ökonomische Grenzüberschreitungen anhand des Chemikers Fritz Haber (1868–1934) betrachtet und der Transfer von Arzneipflanzen zwischen geografischen Räumen in der Pharmakognosie. Abschließend wird der Wissensaustausch zwischen Palästina und Deutschland am Beispiel des rheinischen Arztes Moritz Wallach (1866–1957) analysiert. Der Band enthält zudem die pharmaziehistorischen Lebenserinnerungen des im Juni 2016 verstorbenen Ehrenvorsitzenden der Gesellschaft, Dr. Klaus Meyer, als Anhang, der Einblicke in die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft bietet.

This book presents a concise and modern coverage of scattering theory. It is motivated by the fact that experimental advances have shifted and broadened the scope of applications where concepts from scattering theory are used, e. g. to the field of ultracold atoms and molecules, which has been experiencing enormous growth in recent years, largely triggered by the successful realization of Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases in 1995. In the present treatment, special attention is given to the role played by the long-range behaviour of the projectile-target interaction, and a theory is developed, which is well suited to describe near-threshold bound and continuum states in realistic binary systems such as diatomic molecules or molecular ions. The level of abstraction is kept as low as at all possible, and deeper questions related to mathematical foundations of scattering theory are passed by. The book should be understandable for anyone with a basic knowledge of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. It is intended for advanced students and researchers, and it is hoped that it will be useful for theorists and experimentalists alike.

In this book, a number of the world's leading researchers in quantum, classical and atomic physics cooperate to present an up-to-date account of the recent progress in the field. The first part highlights the latest advances in semiclassical theory, whilst the second one is devoted to applications to atomic systems. The authors present the material in pedagogical form to make it easy reading for non-specialists, too. Among the topics treated, the reader will find a new quasiclassical quantization scheme for Hamiltonian dynamics, an application of the semiclassical formalism to photodissociation of small molecules and to the Lorentz gas and discussions of tunneling corrections. Furthermore, one finds papers on chaotic ionization, on the behaviour of hydrogen atoms in external fields, e. g. magnetic or microwave fields.

Friedrich II. war eine Ausnahme unter den Königen seiner Zeit. Wo fand man einen Monarchen, der wie ein Eremit lebte? Der aufstand, wenn andere Herrscher zu Bett gingen? Der sein Vergnügen nicht im Ballsaal oder am Spieltisch, sondern in der Unterhaltung und in der Erfüllung seiner Pflichten sah? Es gehörte auch zu den Eigenheiten des friderizianischen Regierungsstils, daß alles über seinen Schreibtisch ging - das Wichtige wie das Unwichtige, das Ernste wie das Lächerliche. Die Verfügungen, die Friedrich an den Rand der Akten kritzelte, die Kabinettsordern und Briefe sind eine fesselnde Lektüre. Sie zeigen einen klugen, pragmatischen Kopf, dem niemand ein X für ein U vormachte, einen Denker von sprachlicher Originalität und manchmal geistreicher Bosheit.
