Hopefully, this book will bring even more people into the orbit of this extraordinary educator and scientist. " -Bill Gates, "Cherish this book. With powerful clarity Gleiser argues that there is a profound link in Western science between monotheism and the scientific search for a Theory of Everything. He argues persuasively that we must give up this dream. This may augur a profound transformation in our understanding of the world."--STUART KAUFFMAN, FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY, CANADA, AUTHOR OF REINVENTING THE SACRED, "As the hundreds of thousands of studentswho have witnessed [Lewin's] lectures in person or online can attest, thisclassroom wizard transforms textbook formulas into magic&Lewin's rarecreativity shines through&a passport to adventure." - Booklist (starredreview), "For the Love of Physics captures Walter Lewin's extraordinary intellect, passion for physics and brilliance as a teacher.

Auszug: ...Berechnung bey hoher Strafe geschlossen nvrden: die Magistrate sollten nach diesen Bestimmungen den Preis der Dinge festsetzen, und alle Auflagen konnten auf diese Weise berichtigt werden, nur nicht der grosse Seezoll, der halb in Reichsthalern, halb in Creditzetteln erlegt werden musste aber hierdurch zerstohrte man die beabsichtigte Wirkung; die naturlich, sie Folge der ganzen Operation war das Verschwenden des Silbers. Der Reicherath Bonde ward der Urhe, der eines neuen Munzsystems: er entwickelte die Urs, chen der Verwirrung 1664 in einem vortrefflichen Aufsatz, der fur jene Zeiten eine seltene Einsicht in das Fi, nanzwesen, verbunden mit grosser Klarheit, verrath; er zeigte, dass das Schiffpfund Kupfer, das zu 90 Thlr. S. M. oder 225 Thlr. K. M. vermunzt ward, zu 12c, Thlr. S. M. oder zoo Thlr. K. M. ausgebracht werden musse, wenn es nicht umgeschmolzen werden sollte, und dass man unerbittliche Strenge gegen alle Uebertreter der der Verfugungen zeigen, auch mit Ernst die Kaufleute und Wechsler von der Steigerung des Courses abhalten, musse, in dem die grosste Verwirrung herrschte; fur ei nen Thaler Species, in Hamburg, Holland oder anders, wo zahlbar, musste man 52 bis 54 Oere S. M, 19 Mark Kupfer und 5 Thaler in Creditzetteln geben: allein durch gewaltsame Mittel liess sich nichts andern; besser war der Vorschlag, dass die Krone die Zahlung fur ihr Kupfer in Wechseln einziehen mochte ).
