The story consists of two main characters named Woodmouth who is a moose with a wooden tooth and Moxy a monkey that likes silly pickles instead of bananas. The story begins with Woodmouth the moose being carried by a crate underneath an airplane destined for the Detroit Zoo. Woodmouth the moose looses his wooden tooth while in transit in a tropical rain forest. While munching, crunching & smunching on silly pickles, Moxy the monkey not really knowing what a wooden tooth looks like, asks Woodmouth a number of questions while bringing him the wrong objects to help Woodmouth find his lost w

John von Neumann was perhaps the most influential mathematician of the twentieth century. Not only did he contribute to almost all branches of mathematics, he created new fields and was a pioneering influence in the development of computer science. During and after World War II, he was a much sought-after technical advisor. He served as a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee at the Ballistic Research Laboratories, the Navy Bureau of Ordinance, and the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. He was a consultant to the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and was appointed by U.S. President

This is a selection of John von Neumann’s papers and excerpts from his books that are most characteristic of his activity. The book is organized by the specific subjects - quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, operator algebra, hydrodynamics, economics, computers, science and society. The sections are introduced by short explanatory notes with an emphasis on recent developments based on von Neumann’s contributions. An overall picture is provided by Ulam’s 1958 memorial lecture. Facsimilae and translations of some of his personal letters and a newly completed bibliography based o

Old and New Terrorism provides the most comprehensive account of the evolution of terrorism in the modern world, and a concise and careful analysis of the forces that have driven its transformation. The book: charts the development of terrorist network structures assesses the impact of modern communication systems on the spread of terrorism explains the rise of religiously inspired terrorism and,shows what lies behind mass-casualty terrorism and the targeting of civilians. Peter Neumann offers a subtle and sophisticated picture of the shifts in the pract

Weisst Du, was Dich glücklich macht? Die Triebfedern unseres Handelns sind Dinge, die wir müssen, und Dinge, die wir wollen. Das Wollen lässt sich durch die KNOW-WHY-Methode begründen. Wir wollen dazugehören, uns integrieren, und wir wollen uns weiterentwickeln. Wenn wir beides empfinden, sind wir glücklich und erfolgreich, ganz oben auf der Welle - wenn eines von beidem länger fehlt, sind wir unglücklich, stürzen über die Welle oder fallen zurück ins Wellental. Manchmal wissen wir weder, dass wir glücklich sind, noch dass wir unglücklich sind. Der Mensch hat aber die einzigartig

In his work on rings of operators in Hilbert space, John von Neumann discovered a new mathematical structure that resembled the lattice system Ln. In characterizing its properties, von Neumann founded the field of continuous geometry. This book, based on von Neumann’s lecture notes, begins with the development of the axioms of continuous geometry, dimension theory, and--for the irreducible case--the function D(a). The properties of regular rings are then discussed, and a variety of results are presented for lattices that are continuous geometries, for which irreducibility is not assumed
