Discusses the nazification of the German legal profession and legal system. States that the Nazis exaggerated the number of Jews in the legal profession - they made up only 0.16% percent, rather than 3%. The law of 7 April 1933 ordered the dismissal of all non-Aryan jurists employed as civil servants. Lawyers were excluded from the Lawyers' Association and from academic institutions. Pp. 97-126 give a detailed account, illustrated by examples, of the workings of the racial laws, including the ban on mixed marriages, which was rigorously enforced.

Furchtbare Juristen

Physicists firmly believe that the differential equations of nature should be hyperbolic so as to exclude action at a distance; yet the equations of irreversible thermodynamics - those of Navier-Stokes and Fourier - are parabolic. This incompatibility between the expectation of physicists and the classical laws of thermodynamics has prompted the formulation of extended thermodynamics. After describing the motifs and early evolution of this new branch of irreversible thermodynamics, the authors apply the theory to mon-atomic gases, mixtures of gases, relativistic gases, and "gases" of phonons and photons. The discussion brings into perspective the various phenomena called second sound, such as heat propagation, propagation of shear stress and concentration, and the second sound in liquid helium. The formal mathematical structure of extended thermodynamics is exposed and the theory is shown to be fully compatible with the kinetic theory of gases. The study closes with the testing of extended thermodynamics through the exploitation of its predictions for measurements of light scattering and sound propagation.

Extended Thermodynamics

Peter Strehlow

Experiments with rubber balloons and rubber sheets have led to surprising observations, some of them hitherto unknown or not previously described in the literature. In balloons, these phenomena are due to the non-monotonic pressure-radius characteristic which makes balloons a subject of interest to physicists engaged in stability studies. Here is a situation in which symmetry breaking and hysteresis may be studied analytically, because the stress-stretch relations of rubber - and its non-convex free energy - can be determined explicitly from the kinetic theory of rubber and from non-linear elasticity. Since rubber elasticity and the elasticity of gases are both entropy-induced, a rubber balloon represents a compromise between the entropic tendency of a gas to expand and the entropic tendency of rubber to contract. Thus rubber and rubber balloons furnish instructive paradigms of thermodynamics. This monograph treats the subject at a level appropriate for post-graduate studies.

Paradigms of Thermodynamics

Rubber and Rubber Balloons

This book offers an easy to read, all-embracing history of thermodynamics. It describes the long development of thermodynamics, from the misunderstood and misinterpreted to the conceptually simple and extremely useful theory that we know today. Coverage identifies not only the famous physicists who developed the field, but also engineers and scientists from other disciplines who helped in the development and spread of thermodynamics as well.

A History of Thermodynamics

Für die 504 Schöffengerichte und Strafkammern von 114 Landgerichten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurden vor kurzem ca. 80 000 Schöffen gewählt. Mit dem vorliegenden Handbuch sollen diese umfassend auf ihr staatspolitisch bedeutendes Amt vorbereitet werden. Das Buch vermittelt dem Laien in einer für ihn verständlichen Form die Grundlagen des materiellen und prozessualen Strafrechts und stellt auch die historischen sowie kriminologischen Hintergründe des Strafrechts dar. Das Handbuch ist auch als Hilfsmittel für Lehrer, Gerichtshelfer und Bewährungshelfer bei ihrer täglichen Arbeit gedacht. Gerhard Mauz (Der Spiegel) schreibt in seiner Einführung: "Alles, was die Schöffin und den Schöffen unterstützen kann bei der Wahrnehmung einer oft unerträglichen Aufgabe, findet sich in diesem Buch."
