Excerpt: Alfred Tarski (January 14, 1901, Warsaw, Poland, Russian Empire October 26, 1983, Berkeley, California) was a Polish logician and mathematician. Educated at the University of Warsaw and a member of the Lwow-Warsaw School of Logic and the Warsaw School of Mathematics and philosophy, he emigrated to the USA in 1939, and taught and carried out research in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1942 until his death. A prolific author best known for his work on model theory, metamathematics, and algebraic logic, he also contributed to abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy. Tarski's student Robert Vaught ranked Tarski as one of the four greatest logicians of all time, along with Aristotle, Kurt Gödel, and Gottlob Frege, although Tarski himself expressed great admiration for Charles Sanders Peirce. His biographers Anita and Solomon Feferman state that, "Along with his contemporary, Kurt Gödel, he changed the face of logic in the twentieth century, especially through his work on the concept of truth and the theory of models." Alfred Tarski was born Alfred Teitelbaum (Polish spelling: "Tajtelbaum"), to parents who were Polish Jews in comfortable circumstances. He first manifested his mathematical abilities while in secondary school, at Warsaw's Szkoa M...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=59920 ... Read more

August 1951 in Guayaquil, Ecuador) war ein deutscher Pädagoge. Er zählte zur Spitze der Reformpädagogik in der Weimarer Republik. Er war einer der ersten Begründer einer Gesamtschule in Deutschland. Karsen studierte Germanistik, Anglistik, Sanskrit, Vergleichende Philologie und Philosophie und wurde danach Oberlehrer. 1918 zog er nach Berlin. Er arbeitete zunächst als Lehrer, später als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im preußischen Kultusministerium. Im Mai 1919 wurde er Mitglied der SPD. Im September des gleichen Jahres gründete er zusammen mit Franz Hilker, Siegfried Kawerau, Otto Koch, Paul Oestreich, Elisabeth Rotten, Anna Siemsen u.a. den Bund entschiedener Schulreformer. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Berliner Oberstadtschulrat Wilhelm Paulsen gründete er eine Anzahl reformerischer Schulprojekte. Karsen wurde 1921 Direktor des Kaiser-Friedrich-Realgymnasiums in Berlin-Neukölln, dem er 1923 Arbeiter-Abiturientenkurse angliederte, die es ermöglichten, das Abitur auf dem Zweiten Bildungsweg nachzuholen. 1927 ergänzte er seine Schule um eine achtstufige Volksschule. 1929/30 wurde dieser erste Versuch einer Gesamtschule in „Karl-Marx-Schule" umbenannt. An der von ihm zunächst als „Einheitsschule" bezeichneten Schule waren unter anderem Hans Alfken, Alfred Ehrentreich und Marie Torhorst als Lehrer tätig. Er wurde Oberstudiendirektor.

Emil Leon Post, Ph.D., (February 11, 1897, Augustów - April21, 1954, New York City) was a mathematician and logician. ... Read more

Product Description
Emil Post was a pioneer of twentieth century mathematical logic whose influence on what has come to be caned computer science is particularly remarkable considering his lack of any contact with computing machines. Although his initial contributions were to mathematical analysis, Post was caught up in the excitement generated by the pubhcation of Principia Mathematica purporting to demonstrate that all of mathematics could and should be regarded as a branch of logic. Post's approach, revolutionary for the second decade of the century, was to study logical systems like those in Principia, from the outside, using ordinary mathematical methods. His investigations led him not only to set forth what has become the standard paradigm for studying logical systems, but also to pursue two important generalizations: Post extended the two truth values of classical logic to an arbitrary number. Moreover, by showing how a system of logic could be viewed as a kind of general combinatorial system, Post provided the basis for much of modern computer science and was led to anticipate the later findings of Gbdel, Church, and Turing regarding undecidability.Post's later work included the first example of the unsolvabifity of a mathematical problem that had not originally arisen in the field of logic as well as the founding of the modern theory of recursively enumerable sets and of the theory of degrees of unsolvability. His work and point of view had an immense impact on a generation of young researchers. In this edition of Post's collected works, Martin Davis pays tribute to the profound influence of an original thinker, an inspiring and demanding teacher who overcame severe disabilities in continued devotion to his science and his students. ...

Product Description
"Unpainted Pictures" is the title of a series of fascinating watercolors painted by Emil Nolde from 1938 through 1945. Nolde created these works in the seclusion of his own home in Seebüll, after his works had been confiscated by the Nazis and he himself had been forbidden to paint. He lent many of them to friends for safekeeping, in order to protect himself and his art from Gestapo raids. These small, free, imaginative works were ''unpainted'' in the sense that they did not officially exist and were not supposed to exist--not only that, but Nolde hoped to expand on them at a later date. Nolde never offered any of these watercolors for sale, and today this collection--which has become, for many, the summary and epitome of his work--resides at the Nolde Foundation in Seebüll. All of the 104 watercolors in the series are presented here, along with a kind of diary, consisting of dated notes, thoughts, questions, and dreams, which together form a record of the period in which the "Unpainted Pictures" were being created. Gorgeous, diverse, and quietly moving, these "Unpainted Pictures" continue to be nothing short of a revelation. ... Read more

I Adore This Book
I found the images in this little book breathtaking. The color and expression was so exciting and the history was fascinating. This tiny little volume is packed with beautiful images of Nolde watercolors. I'm so glad I found it.

Unpainted Pictures
Nolde, though sympathetic to the Nazi Party, was included among the artists who were exhibited in the "Degenerate Art Show". He was also banned from painting throughout the war which he spent in the north German town of Seebüll. Being the artist he was he was unable to halt the creative process and began to paint watercolor pictures on small torn sheets of paper - these paintings, the "unpainted pictures" are the subject of this book. The paintings are quite beautiful and the viewer can see how Nolde played with the rich watercolors to create pictures of people, fantastic portraits, and landscapes and seascapes. They are heavily expressionistic as Nolde used dark colors and india ink to delineate figures, give depth, and provide shadow. At their best the pictures are akin to stained glass with a backlighting sun emphasizing the rich colors. If you're a fan of expressionism it's a must book to have. For an art historian there there is a concise text which explores Nolde's relationship with the Nazi Party and those Nazis (Goebbels among them) who attempted to intercede on his behalf.

gorgeous watercolors
it is a really beautiful book, in spite of being small, contains watercolors of this great artist, gorgeous, very good quality of illustration, that I make on paper Japanese, in small format, all are like small jewels, that display the great colorista that was. I am enchanted with the book.

Gorgeous book
Emile Nolde's Unpainted Pictures is a reminder that the Nazi regime affected everyone, not just the groups targeted for persecution. This is an example of one artist's adaptation to those horrible circumstances. It is a book of beautiful reproductions of watercolors done in secret and distributed to friends to keep them safe. Even the format of the book is small, implying that the paintings had to be hidden.It is not a book for generalists; it is for a specific audience, those who are interested in Expressionist paintings.

Very good
I liked, though did not love, this book. I think that perhaps there are too many reproductions, some of which are inferior to the others. I hope that when I die and become a famous artist (well, one can hope, can't they?) someone will edit my work with more care.
Still Nolde is always interesting and this book is worth it for fans of his work. ... Read more

Product Description

"This subtle and nuanced study is clearly Fackenheim's most important book." -- Paul Mendes-Flohr

"... magnificent in sweep and in execution of detail." -- Franklin H. Littell

In To Mend the World Emil L. Fackenheim points the way to Judaism's renewal in a world and an age in which all of our notions -- about God, humanity, and revelation -- have been severely challenged. He tests the resources within Judaism for healing the breach between secularism and revelation after the Holocaust. Spinoza, Rosenzweig, Hegel, Heidegger, and Buber figure prominently in his account.

A major work of a major Jewish thinker
Emil Fackenheim was one of the great Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century. He was a person of great integrity who deeply cared for the Jewish people. His understanding of Jerusalem as the spiritual center of the Jewish people was one major element of his thought. His concern with Jewish survival after the Shoah was another central element. As a survivor of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, as one who was trained as a Rabbi, and became an academic philosopher he had a background which moved him to a very deep reading and thinking about Jewish history. All this comes to focus in 'To Mend the World' where he outlines for the Jewish people centered in Jerusalem a way of hope toward the future. He does this through reading of history and midrashim traditional religious texts, and creating a Jewish world of thought of his own. ... Read more
