A mysterious air-raid shelter… A plane crash under fire… A secret operation… A noise in the attic…The four stories featured in Blitz share a common theme – World War II and its effect on the lives of ordinary people, especially children.Robert Westall’s powerful writing focuses not only on the drama and danger of living in a country at war, but also captures the heady excitement and almost farcical humour of exceptional circumstances.

Ultraschneller Tauchgang in die Atome. Attosekunden-Blitze erkunden den Quantenkosmos
Автор: Thorsten Naeser
Год издания:
Als es Wissenschaftlern an der Technischen Universitat Wien im Jahr 2001 zum ersten Mal gelang, Lichtblitze zu produzieren, die nur noch Attosekunden dauern, bedeutete dies den Beginn einer neuen Disziplin in den Naturwissenschaften: Die Attosekundenphysik war geboren! Jetzt sollte es moglich sein, Elektronen zu fotografieren und damit dem Mikrokosmos einige seiner am strengsten gehuteten Geheimnisse zu entrei?en. Denn was im Inneren der Elektronenhulle von Atomen vor sich geht, war bis dahin experimentell nicht zu beobachten. Mit ultrakurzen Lichtblitzen, die nur wenige Milliardstel einer milliardstel Sekunde dauern, begann man einzutauchen in eine fremdartige, von der Quantenmechanik bestimmte Welt. Spektakulare Bilder aus dem Inneren von Atomen entstanden. Erstmals konnte man beobachten wie sich Elektronen – etwa nach einer Anregung durch Licht – bewegen. Die Attosekundenphysik ist eine junge Wissenschaft mit dem Potential, viele wei?e Flecken auf der Landkarte des Mikrokosmos mit Farbe zu fullen. Ultraschneller Tauchgang in die Atome erzahlt die Geschichte der Attosekundenphysik. Aufbauend auf den Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik und Laserphysik erklart das Buch, wie Elektronen fotografiert werden, und schildert – anschaulich fur an Naturwissenschaften Interessierte – zahlreiche Erkenntnisse, die uns die Attosekundenphysik bis heute eingebracht hat. Wohin wird der Weg der Erkundung dieser Quantenteilchen fuhren?

The Blitz: The British Under Attack
Автор: Juliet Gardiner
Год издания:
In a series of powerful accounts drawn from diaries, letters, sound archives and interviews recorded during the period of devastation, discovery and transformation that make the blitz such an outstanding event in Britain's recent past, «The Blitz» brings to life the intense experiences, as they happened all over Britain.The blitz proved to be a highly effective laboratory constructed out of necessity, and intense forcing house for change.Yet, compared to other great events of the Second World War – Dunkirk, D – Day, and even VE Day, the Blitz remains curiously unexamined.A type of cleansing resulted from it. It soon became evident that many of the attitudes in society were outdated.The most obvious inequalities between British society also became clear, and yet with everyone sharing the same devastation, these differences slowly began to lose their importance.As well as a social laboratory, the Blitz was a medical one too. Overworked doctors and scientists were forced to experiment and improvise. It was during the Blitz that the embryonic blood transfusion service grew to become a nation-wide institution. Psychoanalysis took on a new meaning too: the enemy was now external, someone different from «us».It gave coherence to artists and writers at the time such as Cecil Beaton.The Blitz is arranged as a series of chronological chapters, each focusing on an aspect of key importance.The perspective will primarily be that of those who had actual experience of those tumultuous months, when no one knew when or if the bombings would stop.Above all, it will be recounted in the words of the many «ordinary people» across Britain who were caught up in the Blitz, their stories, entries that are taken from the journals that they kept during this difficult time and also interviews with those who are still alive today.
