"Religious beliefs and institutions continue to be the cause of many problems around the world. Over the last 100,00+ years humankind has gone through three different phases in trying to understand and explain how things came to be: The Magical, The Religious and now The Scientific. Is it now time to dispense with mythology and superstitions as a way to live our lives and fully embrace the scientific method? This book incisively scrutinises religions, refuting their claims by assessing the evidence from cosmology, evolutionary biology, theology, philosophy, morality and the scientific method. The analysis is sprinkled throughout with humour and quotes to keep the reader engaged from start to finish"--

Eine Liebeserklärung an das Reisen mit dem Fahrrad! Bevor es lostgeht, bin ich jedesmal nervös. Meine äußerliche Gelassenheit ist nur vorgespielt. Erst am Bahnhof rechtzeitig angekommen, wartend auf den Zug, werde ich ganz langsam ruhiger. Dann sitze ich im Zug, mein Fahrrad im entsprechenden Abteil geparkt, schaue aus dem Fenster - und denke: herrlich, die Reise geht los. Ein wundervolles Gefühl zieht durch meinen Körper und mein erster Eintrag ins Tagebuch ist: "Ich bin wieder unterwegs!"

Besides being a master impresario himself, whose extraordinary vision of "bridging differences among cultures through the shared passion of music and dance" has embraced audiences the world over, Peter is a wonderful storyteller.The reader is swept away by an intriguing journey of producing theater, from the seeds of the artistic inspiration to the excitement of opening night. Other than the trials and tribulations of show biz, the book is an adventure keenly woven into the backdrop of the social, cultural, and political climate of our times.Bravo, Maestro!A toast to The Last Impresario!Chin - chinKeith FerroneArtistic DirectorFlorence Dance Festival"The stars were aligned: the US had successfully used the performing arts as soft currency on the world stage. In the 1970s, Peter Klein, a recent immigrant residing in New York, captured this new fascination with cutting-edge US performing arts in Italy and then around the world. The backstage theatrics of these efforts in managing the international cultural, social, and political challenges of prestigious performing art companies during Peter's forty-five-plus-year career are fascinating."JONI CHERBO, PhD"Peter Klein's memoir is a page-turner in every sense-starting with Peter's extensive travels with preeminent guitarist Andrés Segovia, and continuing with fascinating stories from his years presenting artists such as Liza Minnelli, Arthur Mitchell, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Above all, Peter chronicles the hard work, drama, and never-ending surprises of his two decades touring George Gershwin's masterpiece Porgy and Bess worldwide-from China to Israel, from Trinidad to Australia, and beyond."MICHAEL LORIMER, CLASSICAL GUITARIST"Peter Klein is a storyteller. He begins with the 'menacing oppression,' as he puts it, of Communist Romania, where he grew up. He was twenty-three when he found his calling in New York as a cultural ambassador for the arts, which, he learned, could break through barriers and borders. There are big names and adventures in his telling-the time he had to rush Andrés Segovia's spectacles to the White House for a performance, or tangled with the mobin Sorrento, or came up against the racism of theatrical unions when he toured Porgy and Bess. In the end, this is a tale of a life's passion, along with the determination and imagination it takes to create the situations in which artists and audiences can thrive."AMEI WALLACH

On January 20, 1942, a meeting lasting one and a half hours took place in a villa at Wannsee. The only item on the agenda was the organization of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". In fact, it was about a deportation and mass murder project with enormous dimensions, about which representatives of the security authorities and the ministries of the "Third Reich" discussed with each other.The historian Peter Klein, a profound expert on the subject, gives a dense overview of the development that led to this conference and of the contents that were discussed there. He shows the significance of this coordination meeting and how its aftermath unfolded. Facsimiles of key documents on the "Wannsee Conference" - including the minutes of the proceedings - make it possible to reconstruct the events from the fi les of the authorities involved and to grasp the specific character of this administrative murder of millions.

The process of heating and reshaping plastics sheet and film materials has been in use since the beginning of the plastics industry. This process is known as thermoforming. Today this process is used for industrial products including signage, housings, and hot tubs. It also produces much of the packaging in use today including blister packs, egg cartons, and food storage containers. This process has many advantages over other methods of producing these products, but it has some limitations. This book has a twofold purpose. It is designed to be used as a text book for a course on thermoforming. It is also intended to be an application guide for professionals in the field of thermoforming including manufacturing, process and quality engineers, and managers. This book is focused on process application rather than theory. It refers to real products and processes with the intent of understanding the real issues faced in this industry. In addition to materials and processes, part and tool design are covered. Quality control is critical to any operation and this is also covered in this text. Two areas of focus in today's industry include Lean operations and environmental issues. Both of these topics are also included. Table of Contents: Introduction / Plastics Materials / Thermoforming Process Overview / The Forming Process / Part Design Mold / Tool Design / Quality Control Issues / Lean Operations / Environmental Issues
