This book aims to introduce students (and other interested laypeople) to chemistry in a fun way using examples from science fiction. The individual chapters are deliberately kept short to enhance readability. The book can especially be used as supplementary reading for lectures in chemistry and related disciplines. The Author Prof. Dr. Karsten Müller is the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics at the University of Rostock and conducts research there on chemical energy storage and processes for the conversion of chemical energy. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

The nearly one hundred wood sculptures created by Ernst Barlach (1870-1938) were regarded by the artist as the most relevant part of his oeuvre. The Ernst Barlach Haus in Hamburg has thirty of them - the largest single collection of his woodworks. To mark Barlach's 150th birthday on 2 January 2020, the museum commissioned new photographs of all of the available sculptures between Lübeck and Zurich. This art book is the result of this monumental project. It provides a detailed overview of 72 of the 85 extant sculptures whose where-abouts are known today.

The comprehensive plate section containing nearly 200 photographs of the sculptures and their details offers fresh perspectives on Barlach's universe of wooden statuary - a must-have for novices, connoisseurs and enthusiasts.

The Daunting Domain of Queen Endgames Explained!Knowing the abilities and limitations of the powerful queen is very valuable for mastering the secrets of the royal game, and this can be studied best in the endgame.Queen endgames are very difficult, if only for purely mathematical reasons " the queen is the most mobile peace in chess, and the amount of possible options is incomparably higher than in any other type of endgames.This book follows a dual philosophy as in the three previous works by the same authors: Understanding Rook Endgames, Understanding Minor Piece Endgames and Understanding Rook vs. Minor Piece Endgames. The 7-piece endings are dealt with in great detail. They are often so complex that pre-tablebase analysis almost always contains errors. Many new discoveries are revealed here.But to really understand the fight of a queen against a queen or minor pieces with rooks, these theoretical positions are of course not enough. So subchapters on the principles of each material configuration have been added.All in all, this fantastic book is already on my (very short) "must study" list for chessplayers of different levels, including the top ten! I want to thank the authors for the courage which is required just to start working on such a complex topic, as well as for the very high quality of their work, which will endure for decades to come and will be very useful for many future generations of chessplayers." from the Foreword by Vladimir Kramnik,14th World Chess Champion
