Private Albert Turley was just an ordinary British soldier of the First World War. He died on the Somme for King and Country. He didn’t win any medals for gallantry and has no known grave. Like thousands more soldiers whose names fill local war memorials the length of the country, he left neither letters nor diaries from which to reconstruct his story. This book describes one man’s search for the story of his distant relative, describing Private Turley’s active service with the 3rd Battalion, the Worcestershire Regiment that led to his death in one of the most infamous battles of the twentieth century. David Whithorn’s painstaking reconstruction of Albert’s story from surviving records and histories led to a pilgrimage following his footsteps to the Somme hillside where he fell in August 1916. What sets this book apart from the many others written about the soldiers and campaigns of the First World War is its dual function as both tightly focused history of the 3rd Worcestershire and a detective story that eventually reveals what happened to Private Albert Turley.

2009 | 143 Pages | ISBN: 3531159607 | PDF | 1 MB
Leben und Werk des deutsch-jüdischen Soziologen Albert Salomon (1891-1966) bilden eine Einheit.

Das Buch rekonstruiert diese Einheit in ihren geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Bezügen und vergleicht sie mit den Werken anderer Emigranten.

English | 2011 | ISBN: B005KMODCO | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 7 hours and 50 minutes | 213 Mb
Written by a friend and scientific collaborator with Albert Einstein, this remarkable study is a model of what a biography of a scientist should be. On these pages, we come to know Albert Einstein as the "backward" child; the academic outcast; the reluctant world celebrity; the exile; the pacifist; the philosopher; the humanitarian; the tragically saddened "father" of the atomic bomb; and above all, the unceasing searcher after scientific truth. At the same time, we are given a superb and essential introduction to the creative process and the concepts that shattered an age-old view of the universe and ushered in a revolution whose reverberations continue to touch us all.

Albert Einstein is universally regarded as the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. In 1905, during his "Miracle Year" as a clerk in the Swiss patent office, he wrote four papers that revolutionized the field of theoretical physics. Over the course of his career, Einstein introduced modern science to the concept of space-time, inadvertently launched America on the path towards developing the atomic bomb, and was offered the presidency of Israel. He was the first scientific superstar-a world-wide celebrity whose popularity was matched only by his astounding feats of imagination.

Free Download Albert the Great (c. 1193-1280) and the Configuration of the Embryo: Virtus Formativa
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031240227 | 260 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB
This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of Albert the Great’s (c. 1193-1280) notion of virtus formativa, a shaping force responsible for crucial dynamics in the formation of living beings. Crossing the boundaries between theology and philosophy, the notion of virtus formativa, or formative power, was central in explaining genetic inheritance and the configuration of the embryo. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book reconstructs how Albert the Great, motivated by theological open issues, reorganised the natural-philosophical and medical theories on embryonic development, creatively drawing upon Greek, Patristic, and Arabic sources. A valuable contribution to research, this book offers essential insights for those studying the history of embryology, medicine, and science in the medieval and renaissance periods.
