Kern- Und Radiochemie : Grundlagen - Praktische Methoden Und Technische Anwendung (9783642871634)

Vorliegendes Buch gibt den Inhalt unserer zweisemestrigen Vor- lesung in Kernchemie und Radiochemie an der hiesigen Technischen Hochschule wieder. Der entsprechende Unterricht galt ursprunglich Horern der Fachabteilungen Chemie, Elektrizitatslehre und Mechanik sowie Medizinern der hiesigen Universitat, hat sich aber in den letzten Jahren hauptsachlich auf Chemiker und Technische Physiker be- schrankt. Der Mangel an zusammenfassenden Darstellungen des umfangreichen Gebietes in einer Schrift fuhrte zunachst zu einem Manuskript in schwe- discher Sprache, dann zur Dbersetzung ins Deutsche. Seit der Fertig- stellung des ursprunglichen Manuskriptes hat sich der Mangel an deutsch- sprachiger Literatur auf unserem Arbeitsgebiet verringert [so sind u. a. inzwischen Bucher uber die kernchemischen Grundlagen, uber die Ana- lyse des zu radiochemischen Trennungen so oft verwendeten Ionenaus- tauschverfahrens, uber Einzelheiten der Kernbrennstoffaufbereitung und uber die Berucksichtigung des Strahle...

King Leopold's Ghost : A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa (9781509882205)

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, King Leopold's Ghost is the true and haunting account of Leopold's brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver. In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. King Leopold's Ghost is the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning awa...
