This book provides an excellent overview on its topic. Furthermore, it also gives some interesting facts which I found nowhere else. Maybe this is the case because the author does not focus exlusively on research done in Anglo-Saxon countries. In any case, if you want to know something about colour terms in English and the connection between culture and colour terms THIS is the book to read.

If you are looking for authentic historic information, look here, you'll find a fine collection. They are written in a time-order and give a good overview for the changes after the war, the GDR-Time, the break of the wall etc. You'll find a technical information-guide at the and of the, which has some liitle mistakes

This is a very nice collection of papers: tutorials, and well written research presented to a wide audience. They cover stochastic aspects, geometry, analysis, iterated function systems, algorithms, to mention just a few. And they are written by authorities in the field. Fractals make headlines from time to time[--are they everywhere?], and and they make lovely color pictures; but they are also part of a substantial mathematical theory, one with an exciting mathematical history. This very important book presents the subject in a way that it can be taught to students. Or it can be used for selfstudy! In view of the many applications to geometric analysis, to PDE, and to statistics, it is likely that fractal geometry will soon be a standard math course taught in many (more) math departments. A recent example of this: By now it is widely recognized that the selfsimilarity aspects of the wavelet algorithms are key to their sucess. The authors have produced an attractive book on fractals. There are others, for example one by Falconer from 1985[The geometry of fractal sets] with a slightly more potential theoretic bent.

When we talk of the history of German military during WWII, most part crosses our mind is about German Blitzkrieg in which the Panzer and Luftwaffe took the leading role. But few told us about German Navy, except U-Boat, which has planted an incorrect impreesion in our mind that it seems that Germany had no force on the surface of water. And few of us are acquainted with the once famous operations such like "Operation Juno" or "Operation Berlin". Armed with the service in the Kriegsmarine in WWII as his rarely strong background of the author, this book comes to fill the blank. After briefling the gloomy background caused by the harsh and strict Treaty of Versailles imposed by the victors in 1919, the author unfolds the develpement of big ships of German Navy chronically in which politics, economy, diplomatic and military concern took their important parts in it, listing all the ships being laid down, launchd, complexion and commissioned year by year, detailing all the rich data of each big ship such as their tonnage and caliber of the guns, displaying all the magnificent plans of the German Navy built-up one by one, especially the most grand and formidable Z-Plan which would propel Germany to emerge as the greatest sea power in the world. The author narrats all the operations the battleships participated during the war : Victories, the astonishing victories, and the defeats, the tragedies after putting up a most heroic fight against the crushing superiority enemy. Thinking of the superiority of the mighty British Navy at that time, readers will scarcely not feel that the success of the Geramn striking force operating on the Atlantic were all the more amazing. If readers keep the fact of the supeiority British fleet in mind, they will be hardly not astounded by the operation : "Cerberus", which against practically all rules in the art of warfare, in which the large squadron consisted of two battleships, Scharnhorst and her sister-ship Gneisenau, and heavy cruiser Prinze Eugen, escorted by destroyers and torpedo boats and covered by Luftwaffe, boldly and successfully with high speed returned home from Brest by dashing through the English Channel right under the nose of Britian who was completely caught napping until the whole units was passing the Strait of Dover when the possibility to mount effective attack was past, for which incident the British public complained with understanding indignation that "Nothing more mortifying...has happended in Home waters since the 17th-Century"! Readers can not be without surprised when they are informed by the author that at the time when the war broke out, Geramn Navy possessed only two battleships, two heavy and six light cruisers, plus 34 destroyers and torpedo boats and 57 submarines, the force was far weaker than its opponents : The mighty British Royal Navy alone in 1935 had had 15 battleships, 6 aircraft carriers, 19 heavy cruisers, 36 light cruisers, 169 destroyers and 54 submarines! not mentioning the also powerful French Fleet! Nor will the readers not feel suprised when their eyes fix on the beautiful photos of Graf Zeppelin, the sole German aircraft carrier which was launched in 1938, but did not completed until 1942, which will correct our wrong impression that German did not build aircraft carrier; while as the pages running, the puzzle hanging in our mind of why this carier never shown herself on the stage of the war will be lefted. Besides all these above, the author also discloses the important role that Hitler played on the rise and fall of German Navy : It was he who promoted to restore German Navy by successfully getting rid of the yoke of the Treaty of Versailles imposed on Germany, which made all the big ships built possible and legallized and all the masterpiece of navy plans blossom, by boarding battleships and by attending the ceremony of the new ships being launched, by ratifying all the plans of ships built; however it also was he who paved the way of the fall of the German Navy, mostly in 1943, by ordering cessation of all repairs of Gneisenau at the beginning of 1943 which made one of the only three battleships out off the stage of the war which served to further weaken the Navy, by stubbornly intervening the affairs of the Navy which led the downfall the Grand Admiral Raeder, by ordering all the large units under construction be halted. In short, I highly recommend this book which has provided readers full picture of the developement of big ships in German Navy history from 1935 to 1945 which intersts and benefits us who want to have whole accounts of German history during the war.

I've recommended this book to parents of young children for over 20 years. This book will provide step by step instructions on how to teach your child basic math concepts, reading concepts, how to tell time, body parts, names of animals, concepts such as behind, over, under, around, big, little, and so on. If your child has a developemental delay or if your child has developed normally, this book is an excellent resource.

Dr. Ronald Feuerhahn, professor of church history at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, has provided a "must have" book for anyone interested in the writings of Dr. Hermann Sasse, one of the greatest Lutheran theologians of the twentieth century.

Sasse had a keen grasp of church history and doctrine. Feuerhahn provides a complete and exhaustive catalog of all his works, noting dates of publications and where available, translations in English.

Each of Sasse's works, from the first in 1916 to his last work in 1976 is carefully documented.

All collections of his works are noted, and at the end there is a comprehensive index of his works by short titles.

Feuerhahn explains his method: "Each work by Sasse is presented first under the date of its original appearance, including a list of every subsequent printing, edition and translation. In addition, the work will be entered again at the date of each separate printing, edition or translation."

I read this book more than 20 years ago, and some of the stories have stayed in my mind ever since. 'Nur auf Sizilien', 'Die Flut war pünktlich' - strong characters who act as they do because of what they perceive as honourable and right, and strong conflicts resulting from this. Siegfried Lenz is one of my favourite authors: but of all his short story collections, this is the best.

This is probably the best and most beautiful art-book I have ever read. I traces the roots of different western artforms like impressionism and abstract expressionism from the japanese traditions of brushpainting an calligraphy.. -I want it!

For anyone interested in both Japanese Art and European Art at the turn of the last century, this book will become the most satisfying reference book in your collection.

"Japonisme" is the term used to describe the Victorian fascination with all things Japanese. Wichmann's book successfully demonstrates the influence of this fascination on the fine art of the era. Lavishly illustrated with over a thousand images, Wichmann's essays are informed both historically and artistically on the detailed ins and outs of the sharing of the two cultures of East and West. Topics include the Asian influence in composition, pictoral space, design, choice of material, and subject matter in the visual art and architechture of turn of the century fin de siecle Europe and America. Visual examples are given from a wealth of artists including Van Gogh, Manet, Cassatt, Whistler, Degas, Mucha, Klimt, the architechs Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, and Japanese artists such as Hiroshige and Hokusai, just to name a few.

Being a visual artist from the west trained in the Western tradition and yet fascinated with Japanese fine art and in particular the tradition of ukiyo-e, discovering this book for me was like finding the holy grail, a book filled to the brim with stunning visual compromises between the traditions of East and West from which to take my own influences. Fantastic.
