Aristotle (384-322 BC), the great Greek thinker, researcher, and
educator, ranks among the most important and influential figures in
the history of philosophy, theology, and science. He joined Plato's
Academy in Athens in 367 and remained there for twenty years. After
spending three years at the Asian court of a former pupil,
Hermeias, he was appointed by Philip of Macedon in 343/2 to become
tutor of his teenaged son, Alexander. After Philip's death in 336,
Aristotle became head of his own school, the Lyceum at Athens,
whose followers were known as the Peripatetics. Because of
anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens after Alexander's death in 323,
he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322. Aristotle
wrote voluminously on a broad range of subjects analytical,
practical, and theoretical. Rhetoric, probably composed while he
was still a member of Plato's Academy, is the first systematic
approach to persuasive public speaking based in dialectic, on which
he had recently written the first manual. This edition of
Aristotle's Rhetoric, which replaces the original Loeb edition by
John Henry Freese, supplies a Greek text based on that of Rudolf
Kassel, a fresh translation, and ample annotation fully current
with modern scholarship.
Die Plasmaphysik ist eines der lebendigsten Forschungsgebiete der
modernen Physik. Der Grossteil des sichtbaren Universums liegt in
der Form von Plasmen vor. Hier auf der Erde ist eines der
ambitioniertesten Ziele die Energiegewinnung aus der kontrollierten
Kernverschmelzung.
Robert Goldston und Paul Rutherford forschen beide am Plasma
Physics Laboratory der Princeton University, einem der weltweit
fuhrenden Institute der Plasmaphysik.
In diesem Lehrbuch fur Physik- und Ingenieurstudenten nach dem
Vordiplom bereiten sie den Stoff didaktisch geschickt auf.
Zahlreiche Ubungsaufgaben dienen zur Lernkontrolle."
