Hedy Lamarr

This is Hedy Lamarr's autobiography.

Hedy Lamarr is known for two things: First: her film career, as she was considered the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. She was also the first woman to appear nude in a film. Second: She is known as an inventor, scientist, and researcher, especially during World War II, for developing and patenting a method of defense against torpedoes and missiles. She also developed an anti-aircraft system where anti-aircraft fire would not hit the aircraft but would explode nearby.

Today, following the downing of Malaysian Airline Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, which killed 298 passengers, a new perspective has emerged on the process developed by Hedy Lamarr. The missile that shot down the Malaysian airliner used a system similar to the one developed by Hedy Lamarr, and the torpedo defense she developed could have applications in preventing future downings of commercial aircraft.

Josip Kozarac

Schon der Titel des Romans verrät uns, wie Kozarac mit dem unkultivierten, toten Land beschäftigt war, das auf einen Mann wartete, einen fleißigen Bauern, der es bebauen würde. Er nannte es „totes Kapital“.
