Jim Ottaviani Bücher

Richard Feynman ist einer der bedeutendsten Physiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er unterstützte 1942 den Bau der ersten Atombombe und half die Explosion der Challenger-Rakete 1986 aufzuklären. Für seine Forschungen zur Quantenelektrodynamik erhielt er 1965 den Nobelpreis. Die Feynman-Vorlesungen über Physik sind legendär. Die Graphic-Novel-Biografie Feynman schildert das Leben des Physikers von seiner Kindheit in Long Island bis zu seinem Tod und zeigt auch die menschliche Seite des großen Denkers. Ganz unkompliziert bietet Feynman dabei einen Einstieg in die komplexen Überlegungen zur Quantenphysik, auch für Laien nachvollziehbar erklärt.

DAS LEBEN VON ALBERT EINSTEIN ALS PACKENDE GRAPHIC NOVEL Wenn man an ALBERT EINSTEIN denkt, kommt vielen von uns das berühmte Foto in den Sinn, das ihn mit den wirren Haaren und herausgestreckter Zunge zeigt. Das Bild prägt bis heute den Typus des „zerstreuten Professors“. In Teilen trifft das auch auf den vielleicht genialsten Wissenschaftler aller Zeiten zu: Von Albert Einstein, dem Mann, der mit e = mc² das Universum auf den Kopf gestellt hat, ist bekannt, dass er bisweilen so in seine Gedankenwelt vertieft war, dass er alles um sich herum vergaß, sogar das Essen. Außerdem hatte er einen ganz besonderen Humor, hinterfragte alles und war zeitlebens unangepasst. Das brachte das 1879 geborene Genie immer wieder auch in Schwierigkeiten. Doch am Ende blieb mit der Relativitätstheorie ein Vermächtnis, das unsere Welt verändert hat und noch immer verändert. Diese packende Graphic Novel fasst das Leben von Albert Einstein in einer grandiosen Geschichte und wundervollen Bildern zusammen und zeigt authentisch nicht nur den genialen Physiker und dessen Errungenschaften, sondern auch den Menschen, den Revolutionär … und natürlich auch den zerstreuten Professor.

In the graphic novel Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier, Jim Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleave, Valentina Tereshkova, and the first women in space. The U.S. may have put the first man on the moon, but it was the Soviet space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space. It took years to catch up, but soon NASA’s first female astronauts were racing past milestones of their own. The trail-blazing women of Group 9, NASA’s first mixed gender class, had the challenging task of convincing the powers that be that a woman’s place is in space, but they discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space travel possible for everyone.

Jim Ottaviani returns with an action-packed account of the three greatest primatologists of the last century. Tackling Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas in turn, and covering the highlights of their respective careers, Primates is an informative look at primatology and at the lives of three of the most remarkable women scientists of the 20th century.

Einstein looked up to him, the Nazis tried to abduct him, his institute in Copenhagen hosted just about every Nobel prize winner in physics you can name (and then some), and Winston Churchill considered him a dangerous, dangerous man. His friends and enemies agreed: Niels Bohr was more than the father of quantum mechanics -- he was one of the most important figures of the 20th century. The Tony Award-winning Broadway play "Copenhagen" barely scratched the surface... Suspended in Language tells the complete story of Niels Bohr's amazing life, discoveries, and his pervasive influence on science, philosophy, and politics. Told in an engaging and accessible mixture of text and comics, it includes a full color supplement on how to teleport just like the pros do -- and why you might not want to

Alan Turing, a pivotal figure in World War II, is renowned for deciphering the German Enigma code, which significantly contributed to the Allies' victory. Post-war, he advanced modern computer science with his development of the universal Turing machine and the Imitation Game, an enduring AI test. Despite his monumental contributions, Turing faced persecution due to his sexuality, ultimately leading to his tragic demise. Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis portray him as an eccentric genius whose legacy continues to influence contemporary science and technology.

In Einstein, writer Jim Ottaviani and artist Jerel Dye take us behind the veneer of Einstein's celebrity, painting a complex and intimate portrait of the world's most well-known scientist.
