5 out of 5 stars You'll have to think about it.......2005-03-02

In my opinion the book is written very witty. It deals with the problem of the "world formula". A formula which helps you to rule the world and the problems which arise it. The book is easy to read and ends in a way you ever will not imagine. You'll be surprised and shocked. You'll have to think about it.

It is Dürrenmatts best and most creative book. It is a milestone of the German literature.

Consequence: You have to read it!!!

5 out of 5 stars I am the poor reviewer Solomon..........2001-10-02

This edition of Die Physiker deserves a place in the library of every American student of German and Germany. It works on every level it should: it presents the play itself, of course; it does a remarkably good job of identifying the vocabulary that a moderately advanced student of German would need help with; and it serves to help with a broader understanding of the author's work.
FIrst, the play itself is an examination of themes common to Durrenmatt and Frisch: what is the individual's responsibility in an world in which the individual appears to have less and less influence? What is the scientist's responsibility for the uses to which his research is put? Is one murder less heinous than a billion? This is one of the two most accessible of the Swiss postwar examinations of these themes (not to imply that any of them are particularly inaccessible), the other being Frisch's "Biedermann und die Brandstifter." The black humor alone makes the play worth reading.
Second, this edition succeeds in helping the English-speaking student follow the play by an admirably astute choice of assistance with the vocabulary. Any edition destined for students faces the challenge of maximizing the ability of the student to follow the flow of the book by avoiding the disruption of flipping through a dictionary for esoteric (for the target skill level) terms, while minimizing the distraction (and reduced learning value) of plastering English all over the page. At any rate, I found that the editors provided their help selectively and well.
Third, the notes at the beginning of the book are extensive and make great use of Durrenmatt's own words to explain what he is trying to accomplish with the form and content of his play. Those reading for entertainment can skip this part with no loss, but those trying to delve into Durrenmatt will find these notes well worth reading before reading the play. It will help you decide just how many of the characters really belong in the loony bin at the end.

5 out of 5 stars Eines der interessantesten deutschen Werke.......1999-09-01

Dieses Buch ist eines der kreativsten Werke Duerrenmatts. Er verwandte einen ausgesprochen treffenden Sarkasmus um das Problem der Wissenschaft (Wer traegt die Verantwortung?)zum besten zu geben. Dieses Buch ist leicht zu lesen, da es nur weniger Vorkenntnisse bedarf und gibt doch einen sehr tiefen Einblick in die verschiedenen Ansichten einiger Physiker. Auch das Ende diese Werkes wurde gekonnt gestaltet, denn es regt den Leser an sich selbst mit dem besagten Thema zu beschaeftigen. Wer dieses Buch versaeumt hat zu lesen, sollte es unbedingt nachholen, denn es gehoert einfach zur Allgemeinbildung.

5 out of 5 stars Kommentar ueber die Verantwortung der modernen Wissenschaft.......1998-08-24

Eine wunderbare, interessante Kritik und Fragestellung ueber die Rolle der modernen Wissenschaften in der heutigen Gesellschaft. Ein Physiker macht as ob er verrueckt waere und findet sich im Irrenhaus. (Indem er sagt, er hoere Koenig Solomon.) Er begegnet drei anderen verrueckten Physikern, die tatsaechlich Spionen sind, die von drei Maechten geschickt worden sind. Sie wollen ihn ueberzuegen, er sollte mit ihnen gehen, weil er als Physiker das sogenannte "Unified Field Theorem" entdeckte. Hauptfragen: Koennte dieses Wissen misgebraucht werden? Kann man Wissen zuruecknehmen? Falls so oder nicht, auf welche Weisen sind Wissenschaftler und Forscher fuer ihre Entdeckungen moralisch verantwortlich? Eben meine Lieblingsdrama!

                  4 out of 5 stars More detail than other accounts.......2006-01-28

                  This book would not be the first to read on the subject of the 1835-1836 independence movement. 'Texian Iliad' is a good introduction. 'Eighteen Minutes' contains more detail than some readers would want in the names of persons, army organization, and so forth. The details provide what is needed by those wanting to investigate further, but little help is provided those readers lacking a understanding of the conditions of the time and place.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent job!.......2004-08-05

                  On a warm, partly cloudy afternoon on Thursday, April 21st in 1836 a smaller, poorly trained, ragtag army attacked a larger, better equipped force. In 18 minutes, a nation was born and over a million acres of land changed ownership. Ranked as one of the decisive battles of the western world,the author has done an excellent job tracing the history of the San Jacinto Campaign of the Texas Revolution. Using maps and first hand accounts (many of which have seldom seen the light of day) Stephen Moore tracks both the Texian and Mexican forces. Included are several useful muster rolls and lists show when and where the various volunteer units were formed. (The writer of this review had two ancestors at San Jacinto.) An added bonus are some outstanding paintings by Texas artist Charles Shaw.If you are studying the Texas Revolution in general or San Jacinto in particular, BUY THIS BOOK.

                  5 out of 5 stars A superbly written military history.......2004-06-06

                  Written by a sixth generation Texan and a descendant of fighters who themselves battled for Texas independence, Eighteen Minutes: The Battle Of San Jacinto And The Texas Independence Campaign is an extensive retelling of the critical battle that established Texas as the Lone Star Republic, independent from Mexico. Drawing directly from and telling its story through the words of over 120 Texan and Mexican soldiers, Eighteen Minutes follows the actions of General Sam Houston and his Texas volunteers from one week after the fall of the Alamo to his victory at San Jacinto. Eighteen Minutes is an exhaustively researched, superbly written military history, laying out the brief yet utterly decisive battle in minute detail.

                  4 out of 5 stars Takes a longer than Eighteen Minutes to read - Still great.......2004-01-09

                  The brave Texans who fought and died in the Battle of San Jacinto are only remembered in the footnotes of Modern U.S. History books and have never received credit for their magnanimous victory on the fields of San Jacinto. Rallying around the battle cry of the infamous phrases "Remember the Alamo" and "Remember Goliad," the Texan Army gained their independence by routing the Mexican Army of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna Perez de Lebron (Otherwise known as Santa Anna to mortals). Stephen L. Moore's "Eighteen Minutes" uses the battle as a background to tell the story of the Texan Independence Campaign and the men who fought in it. In fact, Moore goes into too much detail by telling readers the names, ranks, and background of just about everyone who fought in the San Jacinto campaign, which is several thousand Texans and Mexicans combined. Exaggerations aside, "Eighteen Minutes" is a great book for those history buffs around the country, and I picked it up wanting to learn more about a war that is barely covered or remembered. I do not recommend it for anyone wanting a page-turner, but it is great history and a great history novel. Finally, the Texan freedom-fighters are given the credit they deserve. From one history buff to another, I applaud your effort Mr. Moore.

                                    If you like Sci-Fi and you like Space, then You've GOT to read Larry Niven's Man Kzin books. He's gotten together with scientists and over 20 writers and created a so-fi world unlike any that's ever been created.

                                    His sci-fi world will continue perpetuating itself long after he's gone because many young writers have bought into his sci-fi version of space as well as MANY older well established ones.

                                    3 out of 5 stars An enjoyable continuation of the series........2001-06-08

                                    This volume, as did each of the previous two, contains three mid-length stories set in Larry Niven's science fiction alternate-future in which the human race finds itself frequently at war with the Kzin, a race evolved from carnivorous hunting cats instead of from omnivorous monkeys. As in the first volume, the first story is by Niven himself, and is followed by two by other writers writing in his established universe. Each of the stories in this book can be considered a continuation of a story from a previous volume; Niven's follows up his introductory story of the first encounter between humans and Kzinti; the second is a collaboration by Jerry Pournelle and S. M. Stirling, which follows from the story they wrote in an earlier volume, and the third continues from Poul Anderson's previous effort. The only complaint I have is that there was no continuation of the storyline by Dean Ing, which was always my favorite, but I suppose that when there are only three stories per volume, there is not enough room for every author to appear in every book. (In Pournell and Stirling's story, there is even a hint of an answer to a previous question of mine: how DID a race such as the Kzin develop advanced technology in the first place?)

                                    4 out of 5 stars Yet again, cool........1999-07-27

                                    I said it about all the other Man-Kzin Wars books, and this hasn't changed my mind. Cool. The stories, although from various authors are always really fun, and the Kzinti are nonstop interesting characters.

                                            This book is a good resource to anyone interested in practicing the Ngöndro of the Bön lineage. Yungdrung Bön is a rich tradition that is most closely related to the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Bön influence can be seen in many aspects of ritual in Tibetan Buddhism, from monks' uniforms to the use of prayer flags. Anyone interested in Bön should look at Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's books which include subjects ranging from shamanism to dream yoga and dzongchen.

                                            Nonsense about Bon influencing Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhist records recount the overthrow of primitive beliefs & the influence of the Dharma from India. Having studied Mahayana Buddhism for 8 years, the only difference I can see is the insertion of Bon linerage for Buddhist names.
