The Gestapo was the most feared instrument of political terror in
the Third Reich, brutally hunting down and destroying anyone it
regarded as an enemy of the Nazi regime: socialists, Communists,
Jews, homosexuals, and anyone else deemed to be an 'anti-social
element'. Its prisons soon became infamous - many of those who
disappeared into them were never seen again - and it has been
remembered ever since as the sinister epitome of Nazi terror and
persecution. But how accurate is it to view the Gestapo as an
all-pervasive, all-powerful, all-knowing instrument of terror? How
much did it depend upon the cooperation and help of ordinary
Germans? And did its networks extend further into the everyday life
of German society than most Germans after 1945 ever wanted to
admit? Answering all these questions and more, this book uses the
very latest research to tell the true story behind this secretive
and fearsome institution. Tracing the history of the organization
from its origins in the Weimar Republic, through the crimes of the
Nazi period, to the fate of former Gestapo officers after World War
II, Carsten Dams and Michael Stolle investigate how the Gestapo
really worked - and question many of the myths that have long
surrounded it.

Mathematik! Aber wozu soll das bitte gut sein? Fast jede Lehrerin
und jeder Lehrer wurde bereits mit dieser Frage konfrontiert.
Dieses Buch macht den (Mehr-)Wert von Mathematik erfahrbar, indem
Sie Algorithmen kennenlernen, mit denen Sie eine Vielzahl praktisch
relevanter Probleme loesen koennen. Aufbauend auf Grundkenntnissen
der Analysis und linearen Algebra unternehmen wir einen Streifzug
durch die Angewandte Mathematik: Angefangen mit dem Loesen linearer
und nichtlinearer Gleichungssysteme uber die lineare Optimierung
bis hin zu modernen Verfahren der Computeralgebra. So finden Sie
leicht ein passendes Thema, um die Lebenswelt Ihrer Schulerinnen
und Schuler aktiv mit mathematischen Methoden zu verknupfen: Sei
es, indem Sie die Bevoelkerungsentwicklung basierend auf realen
Daten prognostizieren oder wirtschaftliche Prozesse optimieren.
Oder auch, indem Sie vermeintlich altbekannte Aufgaben wie die
Multiplikation so lange kneten, bis Sie und Ihr Computer sie
wirklich schnell und effizient loesen. So bekommen Sie unter
anderem neue Impulse fur Schwerpunktthemen oder Facharbeiten.
