In the past few years, a new breed of baby-watchers has discovered more about infancy than has ever been known before. Infants brings this knowledge out of inaccessible academic journals and makes it available to everyone in direct language. Written by a child psychologist who has studied the developmental progress of infants for many years, the book describes and interprets the fascinating capabilities of infants in their first years of life. It covers the ability of the newborn to see and hear their parents, their natural disposition toward getting to know caregivers, and the growth of love and attachment between parent and baby. It explores the changing mental abilities and social skills in the first and second years, and tells readers how they can observe these stages in children. At a time when parents are increasingly beset by contradictory advice about infant care, many will find it useful to have a sensible and caring book that presents the latest information on understanding the behavior of babies. Parenting can then become the emotionally fulfilling and intellectually stimulating responsibility it should be.

Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as a subject that was largely incomprehensible, fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms with its grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In What is Chemistry? he encourages us to look at chemistry anew, through a chemist's eyes, to understand its central concepts and to see how it contributes not only towards our material comfort, but also to human cul

Das vorliegende Buch nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Reise von der klassischen zur modernen Physik – vom Kraftbegriff zu den Elementarteilchen, von der Wärmelehre zur Relativitätstheorie und Kosmologie und ist für alle diejenigen geschrieben, die in die Physik einsteigen oder sich (nochmal) einen Überblick verschaffen wollen. Zuerst werden die Grundlagen der klassischen Physik erörtert: Mechanik, Elektrizitätslehre, Felder, Wellen und Wärmelehre. Auf dieser Basis werden dann die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der Quantenphysik (Atomphysik, Kernphysik) einerseits und der Kosmologie (Relativitätstheorie) andererseits bis zum aktuellen Wissensstand entwickelt. Auf Formeln wird bewusst nicht verzichtet - zum Verständnis sind mathematische Grundkenntnisse erforderlich, man muss jedoch beispielsweise die Differenzialrechnung nicht virtuos beherrschen, um folgen zu können. Der Autor legt Wert darauf, Querverbindungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Teilgebieten der Physik zu knüpfen und lädt den Leser zum selbstständigen Weiterdenken ein. Das ausführliche Literaturverzeichnis zu jedem Kapitel regt zu weiterführender Lektüre an. Wolfgang Osterhage, geb. 1948, Promotionen in Physik und Informationswissenschaften, selbstständiger Technologieberater und Autor, Lehrbeauftragter an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität Frankfurt/Main, lebt im Rheinland in der Nähe von Bonn.
