Why do I say that there is no such thing as gravity? Gravity, as described by Isaac Newton, has the power that draws planets together. If this was the case, then all the objects in space would be drawn to each other, and this scenario would make the Big Bang sound like a child's burp. This would not happen. Why do objects fall to the ground? It's because of their weight. You would think that if this was the case, then the heavier ones would la...

Dank der modernen Verkörperungen durch Benedict Cumberbatch und Robert Downey Jr. ist der legendäre Privatermittler aus der Feder Sir Arthur Conan Doyles wieder in aller Munde. Dabei gilt ein ganz anderer als ultimative Verkörperung des schrulligen Detektivs: Jeremy Brett. Von 1984 bis zu seinem Tod 1995 verkörperte er, unterstützt von u. a. David Burke als nicht minder brillanter Sidekick Dr. Watson, den vielleicht besten Sherlock Holmes der ...

?The subtitle Bio-Bibliography' suggests somewhat less than this book is. It is indeed a biography in a very loose sense (a strict biography of a man who may not have existed could not be very substantial), and an extensive bibliography (and discography) as well. But its chief contribution to contemporary scholarship is Williams's insightful discussions on the myth of John Henry and the role of that myth in twentieth-century American society--...

Credit and debt appear to be natural, permanent facets of Americans' lives, but a debt-based economy and debt-financed lifestyles are actually recent inventions. In 1951 Diners Club issued a plastic card that enabled patrons to pay for their meals at select New York City restaurants at the end of each month. Soon other "charge cards" (as they were then known) offered the convenience for travelers throughout the United States to pay for hotels,...

The shrinking defense budget and the ill-defined threats of the post-cold war world, have given rise to alternative acquisition strategies. These strategies seek to maintain America's technological and qualitative fighter aircraft superiority, while simultaneously saving the cost of large-scale procurement. This paper compares two of these strategies. On the one hand, Rollover-plus purports to maintain US superiority by building technology-adv...
