Yours, Lise: letters from the exile of Lise Meitner, physicist
July 13th, 1938: the renowned nuclear physicist Lise Meitner, approaching the age of 60, sits on the train that will take her to the German-Dutch border and then to the safety of exile in Sweden. After months of uncertainty and fear, as a Jew in Nazi Germany, she has abandoned everything: her friends, her career, and her beloved adopted home, the city of Berlin, where she had become a pioneer in the world of nuclear physics. «Yours, Lise» is based on the letters Lise Meitner exchanged with her friends in Germany and all around the globe, enriched with music, making it a full scale audio landscape of this time. It bears witness to the momentous era when physics determined the course of world history, from the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938 to the first airdrop of atomic bombs over Japan in 1945. « With every letter I write to you, I’m disgusted with myself – but I am not embittered. I just can’t quite see a purpose in life at the moment – and I am very much alone. » « Your Radium results are absolutely astonishing. The assumption of such a large explosion seems somewhat incoherent to me – yet we have experienced so many surprises in nuclear physics that I think one can never say: « ‚that’s impossible!’ » « A life in a vacuum, without any satisfying purpose and without any security for the future – I hope from the bottom of my heart, you will never have to lead a life like that. I understand quite well that an individual life seems minuscule compared to our world issues. » « In this book Lise Meitner comes brilliantly to life. Through her correspondence, written from exile in times of isolation and fear, we can hear her voice and sense her strength, her intelligence, and her humanity. » – Ruth Lewin Sime, author of the Lise Meitner biography «a life in Physics» – text booklet available on: www.studio77.at/yourslise

Yours, Lise - Letters from the exile of Lise Meitner, physicist
Der Roman, in dem der Schauspieler Gustaf Gründgens eine zentrale Rolle als die Romanfigur Hendrik Höfgen spielt, zählt neben dem Tschaikowsky-Roman Symphonie Pathétique und dem Emigranten-Roman Der Vulkan zu Klaus Manns drei bedeutendsten Romanen. In Mephisto wird die Geschichte des Schauspielers Hendrik Höfgen im Zeitraum 1926 bis zum Jahre 1936 erzählt. Höfgen, der sich erst spät während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus mit den Machthabern arrangiert und so zum Intendanten am Berliner Staatstheater ernannt wurde, flüchtet zunächst vor seinen zukünftigen Freunden nach Paris. Aufgrund seiner 'kulturbolschewistischen' Vergangenheit hat er Angst vor einer Verfolgung. Doch er stellt fest, dass er bereits einen Teil seiner 'echten' Freunde verloren hat. Zurück in Berlin, kann er Lotte Lindenthal für sich gewinnen, die Frau des Fliegergenerals. Dieser hält selbst große Stücke auf 'seinen' Höfgen, seinen Spielball. Als leidenschaftlicher Schauspieler, dem die Rolle des Mephisto in Goethes Faust I wie auf den Leib geschnitten ist, erkennt der Opportunist Höfgen zu spät, dass er tatsächlich einen Pakt mit dem Teufel - dem Mephistopheles - geschlossen hat. Er ist zu einem 'Affen der Macht' geworden, zu einem 'Clown zur Zerstreuung der Mörder'. Er verliert die humanen Werte und teilt nun die Auffassungen des Regimes.

Audiobook

Vladimir Rurikovich, an elite member of the European Council of Vampires, is on the prowl for a murderous vampire fugitive on the night he saves Ava from the clutches of death. It takes just one look for Dima to know he cannot live another eight centuries without the stunning and seductive Ava—until he discovers a secret about her bloodline that could change everything.

You'll See This Message When It Is Too Late: The Legal and Economic Aftermath of Cybersecurity Breac
Cybersecurity incidents make the news with startling regularity. Each breach-the theft of 145.5 million Americans' information from Equifax, for example, or the Russian government's theft of National Security Agency documents, or the Sony Pictures data dump-makes headlines, inspires panic, instigates lawsuits, and is then forgotten. The cycle of alarm and amnesia continues with the next attack, and the one after that. In this book, cybersecurity expert Josephine Wolff argues that we shouldn't forget about these incidents, we should investigate their trajectory, from technology flaws to reparations for harm done to their impact on future security measures. We can learn valuable lessons in the aftermath of cybersecurity breaches. Wolff describes a series of significant cybersecurity incidents between 2005 and 2015, mapping the entire life cycle of each breach in order to identify opportunities for defensive intervention. She outlines three types of motives underlying these attacks-financial gain, espionage, and public humiliation of the victims-that have remained consistent through a decade of cyberattacks, offers examples of each, and analyzes the emergence of different attack patterns. The enormous TJX breach in 2006, for instance, set the pattern for a series of payment card fraud incidents that led to identity fraud and extortion; the Chinese army conducted cyberespionage campaigns directed at US-based companies from 2006 to 2014, sparking debate about the distinction between economic and political espionage; and the 2014 breach of the Ashley Madison website was aimed at reputations rather than bank accounts. ** Please contact Customer Service for additional content.

Audiobook
The Stormlight Archive sequence began in 2010 with the New York Times bestseller The Way of Kings. Now, the eagerly anticipated Words of Radiance continues the epic story and answers many of your questions. Six years ago, the Assassin in White, a hireling of the inscrutable Parshendi, assassinated the Alethi king on the very night a treaty between men and Parshendi was being celebrated. So began the Vengeance Pact among the highprinces of Alethkar and the War of Reckoning against the Parshendi. Now the Assassin is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives. Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status "darkeyes." Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable. The doors of the Stormlight Archive first opened to us with The Way of Kings. Read that book - now available in all formats - and then Words of Radiance, and you can be part of the adventure every dazzling step of the way.
