This poignant selection of artifacts-and their stories-from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath. From crushed FDNY trucks to the steel that was pierced as planes struck the Twin Towers, from victims' property pulled from the wreckage and returned to families (who later donated the property to the museum) to spontaneous memorials collected from around Ground Zero, the array of objects tell complex and often surprising stories. Poignant artifacts as monumental as the Vesey Street staircase-which offered an escape for thousands fleeing the towers-and as intimate as a loved one's wedding band or last recorded phone message are selected to illuminate people's experiences during and after September 11, 2001, and February 26, 199...
English summary: The history of the sciences: physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, biology, and medicine! This volume presents the labyrinthine ways in which the modern sciences have developed from the past until today, taking the reader on an exciting and informative journey . In 585 B.C., Thales of Milet was to have predicted a solar eclipse - a momentous moment in astronomy. But the Greeks took over a large amount of knowledge of natural sciences from Egypt and Babylon. In the Middle Ages, this knowledge was further refined in the Arab world, until, in the 16th century, Europe again became interested in natural sciences. In the volume accompanying the exhibition "Ex oriente lux?," experts from different subjects are our guides through the exciting history of knowledge and sciences. Exceptional exhibits, precious manuscripts, and models take us on a fascinating voyage that not only manages to link Antiquity and the modern world, but also East and West. German text.
