There's nothing like reading the original. Here is the abstract theory of transfinite ordinals described by its originator, Georg Cantor.

It's probably not the best introduction to set theory for a beginner. The book focuses more on ordinal numbers than on cardinals or general sets. It's not a great reference, either, since so many important results in set theory have been proven in the 100 years since Cantor. But I like this book a lot nonetheless. The exposition is beautiful -- concise, clear, and logical. It's one of the most nicely presented math books I've read.

Very interesting work focusing on the cultural background to the Pauline era. It investigates some new angles and approaches to the traditional stance often employed by New Testament scholars, thus envoking original and valid arguments based around Paul.

Although you won't find any new and interesting twists in this book about the death of Crown Prince Rudolf and Mary Vetsera, you will find easy reading that portrays the events at Mayerling in a straight forward, easy to follow account. The author promised to give the true account of how she died, and I was hoping for something new;I think that most people already know that Rudolf killed her and then killed himself. The pictures were excellent, and several of them I had never seen before. If you're new to the Mayerling legend, I highly recommend reading this one first

An excellent commentary on the times of the Confessing Church of early 20th century Germany. Huntemann's treatment of Bonhoeffer's theology in light of B. historical context is excellent. Huntemann's interpretation of B. theology is refreshing in view of the numerous current misinterpretations of B. This book allows a unique perspective on the man, B. as well as the theologian.

this bookl is very very good. I have used it many times it helps me to understand what my dreams mean and what in my life is making me see these things on my sub concious level so that I can grasp them in realy life. This is great book!

This is a superb look at the philosophy of the young Hegel. Address issues regarding ethics and metaphysics along with politics and religion that ever student of these arts must read! A good work to gain insight to Hegel's later work regarding the State and Jews.

This book book is superior to much of what is avaible in English on this topic.

This book provides an excellent overview of the techniques and equipment involved in analytical chemistry. The descriptions and explanations are useful and concise. The abundant diagrams help clarify complex ideas.

So you are interrested in silent movies, at an internatioonal scale, too? Then you definately should take a look at this book! The Austrian director Georg Wilhelm Past has made movies in nearly every country that took to the cinematic phenomena since its invention. G.W.Pabst was born in 1885 in Raudnitz, today's shattered Czechchenia, went to Vienna to take acting lessons. From there he went on to make movies in Germany (Republic of Weimar), France, America, The Third Reich-Germay and Italy. Nearly the same international audience (excluding the Nazis) which came together in 1986 in Vienna, in the Stadtkino am Schwarzenberplatz, Austria to reconsider the importance of G.W.Pabst's cinematic work to the history of film making. This was the event which triggered a still growing scientific and poetic interest in the works of G.W.Pabst. Well, one might say that Siegfried Krakauer and some others have written about Pabst, too. Yes, but Krakauer and especially THE OTHERS made severe mistakes in their reception of Pabst's movies which rendered them useable for the basic facts and approaches only. But with the realization of this book the mark has been made towords a scientific and more profound understanding of G.W.Pabst's films. Also the topics selected for this book do not cover all important movies of Pabst, the content of the articles included are carefully handling the problematic issues, of the life and work of Pabst, that is so essential to scientific writing and authoring. The authors who took to this project with care, knowledge and the sprit of breaking new ground overcame oldfashioned receptions of the silent movie. The authors are Eric Rentschler (on: the director directed by history), Bernhard Riff (on: obsession and opposition in:The Treasure(1923)), Patrice Petro (on: the female spectator in: The Joyless Street(1925)), Anne Friedberg (on: psychoanalysis in: Secrets Of A Soul (1926)), David Bathrick (on: melodrama, history and Dickens in: The Love Of Jeanne Ney (1927)), MARY ANNE DOANE (on: the erotic barter in: Pandora's Box (1929)), Heide Schülpmann (on: the brothel as arcadian space in: Diary Of A Lost Girl (1929)), Michael Geisler (on: battlegound of modernity in: Westfront 1918)(1930 )), THOMAS ELSAESSER (on: transperant duplicities in: The Three Penny Opera (1931)), Russel A. Berman (on: solidarity of repression in: Kameradschaft (1931)), Karl Sierek (on: the primal scene in: The Mistress of Atlantis(1932)), GERTRUD KOCH (on: stairway to exile in: High and Low (1933)), Jan-Christopher Horak (on: Pabst in Hollywood in: A Modern Hero (1934)), Karsten Witte (on: China and not yer China in: Shanghai Drama (1938)), Anke Gleber (on: masochism and wartime in: Komödianten (1941)), Regine Mihal Friedman (on: ecce ingenium teutonium in: Paracelsus (1943)) this movie is forbidden in Germany because it was made during the Third Reich period, so this article weighs in twice to make a conclusions about Pabst's work during this time, Karl Prümm (on: shadows and pale victory of reason in: The Trial (1948)), Marc Silberman (on: the late Pabst in: The Last Ten Days (1955)) and Hans-Micheal Bock (on: Documenting a Life and a Career, a biography of Pabst). May be it is time to add a few words to Pabst's time in the Third Reich. In his own creative life and work Pabst was always intentionally socialistic. During his work in America, while working at A Modern Hero, he refused several offers from Nazi Germany to return and make movies for them. When he return to Europe to attempt the funeral of his father-in-law in 1938 he decides to emigrate to the USA for good. To say goodbye to his mother he visited her in then annexed Austria, where he was surprised by the beginning of World War II at 8th September 1939, an attempt to escape via Italy to America failed. Leni Riefenstahl, the director who became notoiously famous for her work for the Nazi regime, had worked with Pabst on The White Hell On Piz Palu in 1929. When she worked with him again in 1940 she found their relationship totally shattered and recalls Pabst's appearance as cold, empty and broken. Also after the ending of the Third Reich Pabst was never the same again, he had lost most of his great director abilities. As far as Pabst aethetic is considered he made his films right out of his time. The themes sex, moral and power, seen as obsessions an desires that drive people, are substantial to all of Pabst's movies. And it is these affets that compose the movies' subliminal strukture that is almost diametrical to the structure and formalism constituted by S.M. Eisenstein (based on Dave Griffith). The scences are rather composed by the struggle of desire of the actors than and an external story. So let's come to the final conclusion and the question why should you buy this book? First, the book is profound on the issues it touches, even it does not cover the whole of the topic of G.W.Pabst. Also this book is now 14 years old and has never been revised , updated or edited, it still contains some important keys to exploring Pabst's inheritance and this is where all the following research on Pabst starts. Second, this book is still easy and enjoyable to read but still satifying the more firm reader, too. And third, at a price of about $18 this is a bargain. Here in Germany I spent about $100 more to get the little more Information I needed for my scientific treatise about Pabst. So if you are in aesthetic movies, including European silents and especially into G.W.Pabst, the extraterritorial cinema is the book for you.

No one can claim that German intellectual history is an easy subject to wade through; this treatise is a good introduction to the important role that Hegel played in the formation of later 19th century German thought. While the translation is a bit balky at points (translating from German to English is no easy task in academic works!) it gives a good introduction to the basic ideas behind some of the more seminal thinkers of the German intellectual milleau through the late 19th century and is a fine basis for moving on to other books on the periods following. It is at times a bit unclear; this is not a book for beginners or the generalist but one for those who are already somewhat familiar with philosophy and the terms of debate. Still recommended reading to understand more fully the foundations of the later German state and history.
