This book describes the historical development of the architectures of the first computers built by the German inventor Konrad Zuse in Berlin between 1936 and 1945. Zuse's machines are historically important because they anticipated many features of modern computers. Specifically, these include the separation of processor and memory, the ability to compute with floating-point numbers, a hardware architecture based on microprogramming of the instruction set, and a layered design with a high-level programming language on top. In fact, Zuse's early computers are closer to modern computers than the Harvard Mark I or ENIAC, two other contenders for the title of "world's first computer." The theoretical program first conceived by Zuse in 1936/37 was fulfilled with a series of machines built before and during World War II: the Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4. Separate chapters deal with the architecture of each computer, culminating in the description of Plankalkül, the first proposal for a high-level programming language. Students of the sciences and practitioners of computer science should have no trouble following the material. The concise introductory summary sets the reader on the historical path to retrace this remarkable intellectual adventure.

This is the first book in any language on the films of Konrad Wolf (1925-1982), East Germany's greatest filmmaker, and puts Wolf in a larger European filmic and historical context.

Adam Mickiewicz's 'Konrad Wallenrod: An Historical Poem' is a powerful narrative poem centered around the Lithuanian uprising against the Teutonic Order in the 14th century. Written in 1828, the book combines elements of Romanticism with historical events, blending lyrical descriptions with a deep exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas. The poem's intricate structure and vivid imagery make it a seminal work in Polish literature, showcasing Mickiewicz's poetic prowess and his ability to evoke a sense of national identity and pride. The theme of sacrifice and patriotism is beautifully interwoven with the tale of Konrad Wallenrod, a man torn between loyalty to his country and a desire for revenge. Mickiewicz's use of symbolism and allegory adds layers of complexity to the narrative, inviting readers to contemplate deeper philosophical and political themes. As one of the most celebrated works in Polish literature, 'Konrad Wallenrod' serves as a testament to Mickiewicz's talent and enduring legacy.
