"Sprites, Elves and Intense Lightning Discharges"
Particularly intense lightning discharges can produce transient luminous events above thunderclouds, termed sprites, elves and jets. These short lived optical emissions in the mesosphere can reach from the tops of thunderclouds up to the ionosphere; they provide direct evidence of coupling from the lower atmosphere to the upper atmosphere. Sprites are arguably the most dramatic recent discovery in solar-terrestrial physics. Shortly after the first ground based video recordings of sprites, observations on board the Space Shuttle detected sprites and elves occurring all around the world. These reports led to detailed sprite observations in North America, South America, Australia, Japan, and Europe. Subsequently, sprites were detected from other space platforms such as the International Space Station and the ROCSAT satellite. During the past 15 years, more than 200 contributions on sprites have been published in the scientific literature to document this rapidly evolving new research area.

1924-1927: Der Frühling der Quantenmechanik
Seines Heuschnupfens wegen verbrachte Werner Heisenberg im Juni 1925 zehn Tage auf der Insel Helgoland, wo er einen Artikel schrieb, der als der Beginn der Geschichte der modernen Quantentheorie angesehen werden kann. Im Oktober 1927 fand die fünfte Solvay Konferenz in Brüssel statt, die wohl berühmteste Konferenz in der Geschichte der Physik, und brachte die spannende Entstehungsgeschichte der Quantenmechanik zu ihrem vorläufigen Ende. In diesen Jahren zwischen 1925 und 1927 entwickelten acht Physiker aus fünf Ländern eine Theorie, die das physikalische Verständnis unserer Welt radikal verändern sollte. Mit diesem Buch wandert man vom September 1924 bis zum Oktober 1927 durch die Zeit und erfährt dabei in Form von Monatsberichten, wie die Quantenmechanik entstanden ist, was die handelnden Personen erlebt und gedacht, in welcher Zeit sie gelebt haben und wie aus dem Zusammenspiel Einzelner langsam das gemeinsame Ganze entstanden ist. Das Buch wendet sich an neugierige Laien, die sich von der Quantenmechanik faszinieren lassen möchten, und verstehen wollen, wie eng diese Theorie mit den kulturellen, wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Umbrüchen der 1920er-Jahre verknüpft ist.

A Course in Elasticity
This book is based on lecture notes of the late Professor de Veubeke. The subject is presented at a level suitable for graduate students in engineering, physics, or mathematics. Some exposure to linear algebra, complex analysis, variational calculus, or basic continuum mechanics would be helpful. The first third of the book contains the fundamentals of the theory of elasticity. Kinematics of continuous media, the notions of stress and equilibrium, conservation of energy, 'and the elastic constitutive law are each treated first in a nonlinear context, then specialized to the linear case. The remainder of the book is given to three classic applications of the theory, each supplemented by original re sults based on the use of complex variables. Each one of the three topics - Saint-Venant's theory of prismatic beams, plane deformations, and the bending of plates - is first pre sented and analyzed in general, then rounded out with numerous specific and sometimes novel examples. The following notational conventions are generally in force, except where noted to the contrary: lower case boldface letters denote vectors or triples of Cartesian co ordinates, upper case boldface letters denote 3 x 3 matrices, repeated lower case Latin subscripts are summed over (1,2,3), and non-repeated lower case Latin subscripts are assumed to range over (1,2,3).
