Download or read book Einstein written by Peter Smith and published by Haus Pub.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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.

Download or read book Modernist Cultural Studies written by Catherine Driscoll and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2010-01-03 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many scholars, cultural studies is viewed as a product of postmodern criticism and as the antithesis of modernism. In this brilliant work, Catherine Driscoll argues persuasively that we must view what we call cultural studies as a direct continuation of the innovations and concerns of modernism and the modernists. In making her case, Driscoll provides a fresh take on arguments--some seemingly unresolvable--that pivot on modernism's desire for novelty. Defining modernity as a critical attitude rather than a time period, she describes the many things these ostensibly different fields of inquiry have in common and reveals why cultural studies must be viewed as a fundamentally modernist project. Casting a wide net across the shared interests of modernism and cultural studies, including cinema, fiction, fashion, art, and popular music, Driscoll explores such themes as love and work, adolescence and everyday life, the significance of the everyday, the popular as a field of power, and the importance of representation to identity and experience in modernity.
