Das war auch schon im 17. Jahrhundert so. Dieses Buch reist mit uns durch die vierhundertjährige Geschichte der Chemie, erzählt von Alchimisten und anderen Magiern und berichtet über etliche eindrucksvolle und kuriose Versuche. Neben der Beschreibung von öffentlichen Experimentalvorlesungen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert in London und anderswo ist hier auch von namhaften Chemikern wie Justus von Liebig, Michael Faraday oder Georg Lichtenberg die Rede. Sie führten ihre Experimente vor dem interessierten Laienpublikum, wie auch vor dem Königshaus auf und waren nicht immer von Erfolg gekrönt, wie das Beispiel des 'bellenden Hundes' beweist. Wer erinnert sich bei der Lektüre der amüsanten Anekdoten nicht an die missglückten Versuche und die Folgen im eigenen Chemieunterricht Vor diesem historisch fundierten Hintergrund präsentieren die Autoren im zweiten Teil des Buches eine bunte Mischung spektakulärer chemischer Schauexperimente. Für den grundwissenden Chemiker gibt es eine Anleitung zum Wiederholen und Vorführen der Experimente.

Probieren Sie es selbst aus! Zweite Auflage: nicht nur aktualisiert und modernisiert, sondern auch mit weiteren Schauexperimenten!Wiley-VCH GmbH, Boschstr. 12, 69469 Weinheim 277 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The extraordinary growth of creative businesses, such as film, video games, music, broadcasting, publishing and advertising, has shifted the traditional focus of management from the organization of skills and resources to the mysterious art of mining the imagination. Now the glacial predictability of corporate process has come up against the notorious unpredictability of the creative temperament, and business leaders are confronted with challenging paradox of managing the unmanageable.The resulting clash between control and creativity, between measurement and the immeasurable, between the ideology of growth and the growth of ideas, is exacerbated by the myths and misunderstandings that hamper our quest for innovation and originality.Drawing from the leading lights of creativity research and a lifetime of experience in creative businesses, Gordon Torr takes a scalpel to the institutionalized idiocy that is stifling the generation of ideas in today's corporations.The curse of the brainstorm, the commoditisation of creative talent, the deskilling of the imagination, the startling inadequacies of management theory - these and other horrors of idea-assassination are dissected and disembowelled in this cutting expose of the drama that unfolds every time a new idea slides across the boardroom table.'This is a fascinating, original and provocative book. As creative skills become increasingly critical to economic growth, a better understanding of how to manage these skills is essential. Torr digs deep in his exploration, dispelling popular myths, revealing new insights and clarifying the messy and muddled thinking about creative people and creative processes.' --Judie Lannon, Editor Market Leader'. a scholarly (and timely) appraisal of the genesis of ideas, from a practising creative professional. . a great deal of nonsense is at last debunked, and a great deal of sound advice - some of it counterintuitive - is conveyed.' --Derek Day, author of Creating Passion Brands'.like power-chugging a gallon of emotional caffeine.' --Dennis Ryan, Chief Creative Officer, Element 79, Chicago.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Genre - or 'type' - is a core concept in both film production and the history of film.

How do we characterize genre and what are its various functions In what ways does genre give a film its identity How do genres emerge What is the cultural significance of genre and how does it circulate within and across national boundaries Informative and user-friendly, Moine's book is accessible to general readers and adapts easily to a wide range of teaching approaches.
