Neuware -»fleurs« - die Blumen, die Blüten, sie geben diesem Buch seinen Titel, lassen an Frühling denken, an laue Lüfte und flatternde Bänder. Doch wer sich auf diese Spur locken lässt, landet nicht auf der lieblichen Blumenwiese, sondern im steinigen und steilen Gelände: »agnus dei die Füszchen zusammengebunden, 1 Büschel weiszer Blumen im Mund«. Das ist der Mayröcker-Sound, wie er ein Dichterleben lang tönt - unsentimental, glasklar, nichts anderem verpflichtet als einer Poesie, die immer nur das Eine will: Bilder von bezwingender Kraft und Anschaulichkeit und eine Sprache, so frei, kühn und unverbraucht, als wäre sie für dieses eine Buch neu erfunden.»fleurs« ist der letzte Teil von Friederike Mayröckers Trilogie, die mit »études« und »cahier« ihren Anfang nahm. fleurs ist Erinnerung und Bilanz, ist Protest und Beschwörung. Und hält fest, was am Ende als Einziges zählt und bleibt - das Ritual, die Lebensversicherung des Schreibens: »Einfach so hinsetzen an die Maschine am Morgen bei wölfischem Heulen, nicht wahr«. 152 pp. Deutsch

Theodore H. Von Laue's stunningly original and controversial book approaches the dynamics of twentieth-century history from an entirely new perspective by proposing that the little-understood historic process known as the world revolution of Westernization has caused the global violence and warfare of this century. Accounting for world wars, the rise of communism and fascism, decolonization, Third World dictatorships, and contemporary terrorism, Von Laue describes the twin processes of the expansion of Western power and the emergence of global interdependence. His journey through the twentieth century begins in the 1870s with the British raj in India; includes the colonization of Africa, the communist and fascist "counter-revolutions," the Great Depression, Stalinism and Hitler's unleashing of World War II, and the post-war emergence of the United States as the foremost superpower; and ends with the nuclear arms race, the most dangerous of all global tensions. As a challenging history of the contemporary age, this book will make readers think more globally and compassionately about the complex issues that threaten our peace and survival as we prepare to enter the twenty-first century.

Starting with the history of the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen and the subsequent formalization of diffraction laws by Von Laue, Bragg and others, it covers the essential fundamentals of crystallography and the theory of X-ray generation and of the interaction of X-rays with matter. X-ray diffraction theory is covered in detail, serving as an excellent background to the following chapters the application procedures such as the laue, the rotating crystal and the powder techniques. Reciprocal lattice theory is introduced with the necessary vector algebra and the relationship between reciprocal lattice and diffraction, which the student has generally some difficulty in understanding in the beginning, has been brought out elegantly. The chapters on film techniques are followed by one on the X-ray diffractometer and its applications. Specific applications such as crystal structure determination, accurate determination of lattice parameters, single crystal studies, studies of crystallographic texture, stress measurement, order-disorder transformation, phase diagram determination are covered in sufficient detail in the next chapters. There is a final chapter on the use of X-ray diffraction in chemical analysis. The list of topics covered is quite comprehensive. The treatment of topics in each chapter is sufficiently exhaustive for undergraduate and graduate courses in X-ray diffraction, not only for metallurgists and materials scientists/engineers, but also for other disciplines requiring the study of X-ray diffraction. The book is very well-written and the examples, solved and unsolved, at the end of various chapters will benefit the students greatly in understanding the concepts underlying them
