Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In this landmark book, William Ury-- best-selling author and director of the Project on Preventing War at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School-- and a stellar panel of experts from several scientific disciplines debunk the commonly held notion that violence is a predictable part of the human condition and outline an innovative paradigm for preventing violent confrontations. Must We Fight presents compelling new research and insights into human nature which clearly demonstrate that humankind is not doomed to continue the seemingly endless cycle of violent conflict. With intelligence and sensitivity, Ury describes a brilliant program for personal and community empowerment called The Third Side. As he explains, in most conflicts between two parties there is actually a third entity-the community in which the combatants, and their dispute, are embedded. The Third Side is a proven model for ending conflict that shows how to mobilize communities to stop and, in some cases, prevent individual and group violence.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The common language of genius: Eureka!While the roads that lead to breakthrough scientific discovery can be as varied and complex as the human mind, the moment of insight for all scientists is remarkably similar. The word 'eureka!', attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, has come to express that universal moment of joy, wonder-and even shock-at discovering something entirely new. In this collection of twelve scientific stories, Leslie Alan Horvitz describes the drama of sudden insight as experienced by a dozen distinct personalities, detailing discoveries both well known and obscure. From Darwin, Einstein, and the team of Watson and Crick to such lesser known luminaries as fractal creator Mandelbrot and periodic table mastermind Dmitri Medellev, Eureka! perfectly illustrates Louis Pasteur's quip that chance favors the prepared mind. The book also describes how amateur scientist Joseph Priestley stumbled onto the existence of oxygen in the eighteenth century and how television pioneer Philo Farnsworth developed his idea for a TV screen while plowing his family's Idaho farm.; 'Eureka' ist eine Sammlung der bemerkenswertesten und unterhaltsamsten Geschichten über die großen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen, die die Welt verändert haben. Das Buch setzt die Tradition von 'Hellman's Great Feuds in Science' fort und erzählt ein Dutzend Wissenschaftsgeschichten, die sich allesamt auf die besondere Dramatik des unmittelbaren 'Heureka Moments' gründen, der vielen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen gemeinsam ist. Angefangen beim Amateurwissenschaftler Joseph Priestly, der im 18. Jahrhundert auf die Existenz des Sauerstoffs gestoßen ist, jedoch ohne eine wirkliche Ahnung davon zu haben, was er eigentlich gefunden hatte, bis hin zu dem 14-jährigen Fernseh-Pionier Philo Farnsworth, dem die Idee für einen Fernsehbildschirm beim Pflügen der elterlichen Felder in Idaho kam. Unter den hier vorgestellten Wissenschaftlern befinden sich Berühmtheiten wie Darwin, Einstein und Watson Crick, aber auch etwas obskure Persönlichkeiten, wie z.B. der Chemiker Kekulé und der Mathematiker Benoit Mandelbrot. Bei allen Entdeckungen spielten Glück, gutes Timing und ein wacher Geist eine wesentliche Rolle. 'Eureka' - eine ebenso spannende wie unterhaltsame Lektüre.…
