"Last Exit Fancyville" takes readers back to the golden age of Rock & Roll, influenced by iconic artists like Elvis and the Ramones. Trip's poetic lyrics reflect a time when feminism and political correctness were foreign concepts. Each poem tells its own story while connecting to the larger narrative of rock history and nostalgia.
In commissioning this volume of Current Topics in Pathology, the editor of the series, Prof. Sir Colin Berry, asked me to produce something „which is aimed at the general pathologist but from the point of view of the neuropathologist who knows what is not being done well“. This was easier said than done. Many aspects of neuropathology are encountered only infrequently in general pathology and are best dealt with by re ferral of material to a specialist unit. Others need more extensive investigation than is practicable in a general pathology setting. Yet neurological disorders in general are common and are encountered by general histopathologists, paediatric and forensic pathologists on a daily basis, particularly in autopsy practice. In inviting contributions to this volume of Current Topics in Pathology, I therefore biased the con tents towards disorders in which the conduct of the autopsy and the initial approach to neuropathological investigation are of critical importance in making the diagnosis. The authors all have a wealth of experience and expertise and I believe that this is reflected in their approach, which is both personal and practical. Indeed, the emphasis in this book is very much on the provision of practical advice. All of the chapters contain guidelines on the conduct of autopsies as well as infor mation on the macroscopic and basic histological assessment of the nervous system in the relevant disorders.
A contemporary of Galileo and a forerunner of Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a pioneering German scientist and a pivotal figure in the history of astronomy. This colorful, well-researched biography brings the man and his scientific discoveries to life, showing how his contributions were every bit as important as those of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. It was Kepler who first advocated the completely new concept of a physical force emanating from the sun that controls the motion of the planets--today we call this gravity and take it for granted. He also established that the orbits of the planets were elliptical in shape and not circular. And his three laws of planetary motion are still used by contemporary astronomers and space scientists. The author focuses not just on these and other momentous breakthroughs but also on Kepler's arduous life, punctuated by frequent tragedy and hardships. His first wife died young, and eight of the twelve children he fathered succumbed to disease in infancy or childhood. He was frequently caught up in the religious persecutions of the day. His mother narrowly escaped death when she was accused of being a witch.Intermingling historical and personal details of Kepler's life with lucid explanations of his scientific research, this book presents a sympathetic portrait of the man and underscores the critical importance of Kepler's discoveries in the history of astronomy.

Der Autor erläutert in diesem Werk die Definitionen, ihre Kriterien und die Überprüfung ihres Wahrheitsgehalts. Er betont die Notwendigkeit von eigenständigem Denken, Abstraktionsfähigkeit und fundierten Kenntnissen in Semantik, Mathematik und Philosophie. Das Buch fördert aktives Mitdenken der Leser und behandelt komplexe Themen wie das Immunsystem und den topologischen Gottesbeweis.
Das Buch thematisiert die Einflüsse und das Erbe bekannter Rock & Roll Größen wie Elvis, The Doors, Ramones und viele weitere Bands, die die Musikszene geprägt haben.
Im vorliegenden Werk erläutert der Autor was eine Definition ist, welche Kriterien diese erfüllen muss, und wie diese auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt überprüft werden können. Dementsprechend ist nicht nur eigenständiges Denken notwendig, sondern auch eine überdurchschnittliche Abstraktionsfähigkeit, gepaart mit fundierten Kenntnissen der Semantik, Syntax, Mathematik und Philosophie sowie Philologie entsprechend eines Studiums. Die Herleitung aller Definitionen wird detailliert erklärt und sowohl aus interdisziplinärer Evidenz als auch aus analytischer Metaphysik abgeleitet, welches zu logisch - richtigem Handeln in Politik und Gesellschaft führt und staatliche Bevormundung überflüssig macht. Gleichsam wie Nietzsche setzt Trip auf die aktive Mitarbeit seiner Leser, um gemeinsam von Null bis zur Berechnung des Immunsystems als auch zum topologischen Gottesbeweis, untermauert von Relativitäts - und Gravitationstheorie, vorzudringen. Aphorismen, Lehrsätze und Axiome runden das Werk ab.
Es ist ein Tagebuch über eine Liebe wie ich sie immer ersehnte, und es ist ein Tagebuch über meine Affären, über Gigolos, über i - net dating Sucht, und darüber, wie diese Liebe an all den Affären verendet ist. Ich schreibe offen und schonungslos, weil ich die Verlogenheit in unserer Welt nicht mehr gutheiße.
