Inhalt: Mit erzählerischer Brillanz erweckt der internationale Bestseller-Autor Tom Holland das Goldene Zeitalter Roms zum Leben: Spannend wie in einem Historienroman schildert er die große Politik in der Hauptstadt, das Leben der einfachen Menschen in den Provinzen und die großen militärischen Konflikte an den Grenzen des Imperiums: ein grandioses und stets fesselndes Porträt der ultimativen antiken Weltreichs auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Macht.

Inhalt: »Hollands Recherche ist gründlich, sein Wissen umfangreich - der besondere Vorzug des vorliegenden Buches ist aber die Fähigkeit des Autors Geschichte spannend und gut lesbar zu präsentieren: 'Pax' liest sich wie ein packender Historienroman und ist kein trockenes Lehrbuch, das "Wissenschaftlichkeit" mit "Langeweile" verwechselt.« Clausewitz, Ausgabe 02, März/April 2024 Clausewitz 20240301.

Inhalt: Breast cancer is a disease that develops in the breast cells and progresses in stages. A few early symptoms may include a new lump in the underarm or in the breast, itching or discharge from the nipple, and skin texture change of the nipple or breast. Approximately 1.3 million people per year worldwide are diagnosed with this condition. As with any cancer, early detection is a key to less traumatic treatment and ultimately complete recovery. Part of IOP Series in Medical and Biological Image Analysis.

Inhalt: There are many images of science and the activities of scientists. Some would imply that science will eventually reach the limits of knowledge while others create an expectation of endless horizons. Some people would believe that science has or will provide the answers to key open questions that lie ahead, while others experience fear regarding its development. In this book, we will look at all these aspects, going from particles, via atoms, cells, stars, galaxies, our place in the universe, to explore what makes us, human beings, really unique in nature: our ability to imagine and shape the future by making use of the scientific method. The book is an EPS action designed to address the social dimension of science and the grand challenges in physics that will bring radical change to developed societies, raise standards of living at the global scale, and provide basic understanding of nature on the horizon 2050.
