luftwaffe ace
This book will provide some great info on assi hahn, but will leave you wanting to learn a bit more about him.I falls short in providing the detail about the man.If you want to know he was a tough guy in the Luftwaffe, incredably skilled and shot down scores of the enemy then this is your book.The photos provided are incredably great (five star), but the rest of the book will fall short on detail.Reportably he wrote a book of his own, maybe (I tell The Truth).If you are really interested in this Ace, That may be the book you want to read. This book is not a waist of money, but definitely not a great memoir.

Product Description
This book provides an introduction to the complex genesis of Germany's intellectual identity, focusing on themes of a cultural, historical, philosophical and literary nature. As Goethe and Schiller noted in 1796; "Germany? But where does one find her? ...Where her learning begins, her politics end." German identity has always been a problem, and one which has come to the fore again with German unification and with Germany's role in Europe and the wider world. Whilst many academic courses focus on the 20th century, this book provides a much wider perspective on Germany's cultural past. Topics include: the legacy of the medieval Holy Roman Empire; German Protestantism; the German response to the Enlightenment; nationalism and the "Sonderweg" debate; the significance of education for social development and the emergence of a German bourgeoisie. Key figures in philosophy, history, politics and literature are introduced, and each chapter is supplemented by an "Arbeitsteil" of annotated texts in German, followed by further material for individual study. For foundation and "A" level courses in German studies, this text also provides source material for more advanced students. ... Read more

Product Description
Hans Hahn (1879-1934) war einer der bedeutendsten Mathematiker dieses Jahrhunderts. Er hat zahlreiche Gebiete der Analysis entscheidend geprägt und zählt zu den Vätern der Funktionalanalysis. Aber auch die Maßtheorie und die harmonische Analyse wurden von ihm nachhaltig angeregt, und die allgemeine Topologie verdankt ihm wesentliche Impulse. Darüber hinaus hat Hahn, als einer der Gründer des Wiener Kreises, auch die Philosophie dieses Jahrhunderts stark beeinflußt. Sowohl Kurt Gödel als auch Karl Popper, von denen die Einleitung zu diesem Werk stammt, waren seine Schüler. Der erste Band der gesammelten mathematischen und philosophischen Werke von Hans Hahn enthält dessen grundlegende Beiträge zur Funktionalanalysis, Topologie (raumfüllende Kurven) und Algebra (geordnete Gruppen), mit Kommentaren der Professoren Heuser, Sagan und Fuchs. ...
