Verlag Harri Deutsch

One of the publisher's bestsellers was Taschenbuch der Mathematik (A Guide Book to Mathematics, Handbook of Mathematics). Originally, this work by the Russians Bronstein and Semendjajew was translated and edited by Viktor and Dorothea Ziegler and Günter Grosche for the East-German publisher BSB B. G. Teubner Verlagsgesellschaft. Some contingents of the East German print runs were dedicated for Verlag Harri Deutsch who had obtained a license from Teubner for distribution of the title in Western countries. Following licensing problems resulting from market environmental and legal changes caused by the German reunification, the title was reworked by Gerhard Musiol and Heiner Mühlig now based on the latest non-Teubner influenced Russian edition and independently produced by Verlag Harri Deutsch. The Taschenbuch der Physik (literally: Pocketbook of physics) by Horst Kuchling was another bestseller licensed from VEB Fachbuchverlag Leipzig. Another highly regarded title, licensed from the East-German VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, was their German translation Lehrgang der höheren Mathematik of Vladimir Ivanovich Smirnov's seven-volume work Курс высшей математики (A Course in Higher Mathematics). Licensed from the Russian Verlag MIR (with permission from Nauka and VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften) was the third German-English edition of Tafeln / Tables: Summen-, Produkt- und Integraltafeln / Tables of Series, Products, and Integrals by Iosif Moiseevich Ryzhik and Izrail Solomonovich Gradshteyn in 1981. Licensed from Akademie Verlag was Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik in ten volumes, edited by Gerhard Heber and Paul Ziesche. This was a German translation of the renowned textbook Курс теоретической физики by Lev Davidovich Landau and Evgeny Mikhailovich Lifshitz. The title was also available in English as Course of Theoretical Physics. Harri Deutsch also licensed a series of classical scientific works known as "Ostwalds Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften" (originally edited by Wilhelm Ostwald) from VEB Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft. Authored by Walter Greiner, the publisher also offered the title Theoretische Physik (Theoretical physics) in 13 volumes. Some of these volumes were available in English translations, edited by David Allan Bromley and published by Springer-Verlag. Another successful title was Taschenbuch der Riechstoffe (Pocketbook of fragrances) by Dieter Martinez and Roland Hartwig. In 1999, Harri Deutsch introduced the electronic publishing series cliXX (for educational courses) and DeskTop (for encyclopedic publications) under the label hades (harri deutsch electronic science) under the editorial guidance of Horst Stöcker utilizing HTML structures.
