Download or read book Constellation of Genius written by Kevin Jackson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ezra Pound referred to 1922 as Year One of a new era. It was the year that began with the publication of James Joyce's Ulysses and ended with the publication of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, two works that were arguably "the sun and moon" of modernist literature, some would say of modernity itself. In Constellation of Genius, Kevin Jackson puts the titanic achievements of Joyce and Eliot in the context of the world in which their works first appeared. As Jackson writes in his introduction, "On all sides, and in every field, there was a frenzy of innovation." It is in 1922 that Hitchcock directs his first feature; Kandinsky and Klee join the Bauhaus; the first AM radio station is launched; Walt Disney releases his first animated shorts; and Louis Armstrong takes a train from New Orleans to Chicago, heralding the age of modern jazz. On other fronts, Einstein wins the Nobel Prize in Physics, insulin is introduced to treat diabetes, and the tomb of Tutankhamun is discovered. As Jackson writes, the sky was "blazing with a ‘constellation of genius' of a kind that had never been known before, and has never since been rivaled." Constellation of Genius traces an unforgettable journey through the diaries of the actors, anthropologists, artists, dancers, designers, filmmakers, philosophers, playwrights, politicians, and scientists whose lives and works—over the course of twelve months—brought a seismic shift in the way we think, splitting the cultural world in two. Was this a matter of inevitability or of coincidence? That is for the reader of this romp, this hugely entertaining chronicle, to decide.

Book excerpt: Albert Einstein revolutionised science and our view of the universe. In onextraordinary year, Einstein re-wrote the textbooks of science and, everince, physics has been little more than a series of footnotes to theheories of a 26-year-old patent-office clerk. In 1905, Einstein not onlyverturned the Newtonian absolutes of time and space, but also transformedur understanding of matter at the sub-atomic level, for which he latereceived the Nobel Prize. By the time of his death in 1955, his name wasynonymous with genius and he was familiar to people throughout the world. Inecent years, however, new light has been thrown on Einstein's private life,ncluding the story of his student love affair with Mileva Maric and theirllegitimate daughter, Lieserl. A rogue-like rebel in his life, as in hiscience, Einstein was never afraid to break the rules. Alongside Galileo andewton, Einstein ranks as one of the greatest scientific minds. Afterinstein, neither the world nor physics could be the same again.

Download or read book Napoleon written by Paul Johnson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Paul Johnson, “a very readable and entertaining biography” (The Washington Post) about one of the most important figures in modern European history: Napoleon Bonaparte In an ideal pairing of author and subject, the magisterial historian Paul Johnson offers a vivid look at the life of the strategist, general, and dictator who conquered much of Europe. Following Napoleon from the barren island of Corsica to his early training in Paris, from his meteoric victories and military dictatorship to his exile and death, Johnson examines the origins of his ferocious ambition. In Napoleon's quest for power, Johnson sees a realist unfettered by patriotism or ideology. And he recognizes Bonaparte’s violent legacy in the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. Napoleon is a magnificent work that bears witness to one individual's ability to work his will on history.
