Download or read book St Albert the Great written by Kevin Vost and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even while he was still alive, Dominican friar Albert of Cologne was widely called Magnus the Great. His contemporaries said St. Albert simply knew all there was to know; he was a scientist, theologian, and philosopher; a teacher, preacher, and negotiator; a shrewd shepherd and an unflinching defender of the Faith. The time has come to re-discover St. Albert's greatness, and to profit from his prodigious wisdom and virtue as did his famous student, St. Thomas Aquinas. Author Kevin Vost presents St. Albert's brilliant scholarly career at the height of the Church's intellectual renewal in the thirteenth century. St. Albert was tireless (and courageous) in his leadership and works of reform as a Dominican provincial and diocesan bishop. Desperate popes pressed him into diplomatic missions, hoping that Magnus might succeed in making peace where lesser men had failed. These pages not only tell St. Albert's story they share his lessons. Each chapter uses Albertine teachings, and the witness of the saint's life, to instruct, edify, and inspire us to greater holiness and more ardent love. Read St. Albert and see why the greatest man of his age has great things to offer our age as well.

Download or read book Albert Speer written by Gitta Sereny and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1996-10-29 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Speer was not only Hitler's architect and armaments minister, but the Fuhrer's closest friend--his "unhappy love." Speer was one of the few defendants at the Nuremberg Trials to take responsibility for Nazi war crimes, even as he denied knowledge of the Holocaust. Now this enigma of a man is unveiled in a monumental biography by a writer who came to know Speer intimately in his final years. Out of hundreds of hours of interviews, Sereny unravels the threads of Speer's personality: the genius that made him indispensable to the German war machine, the conscience that drove him to repent, and the emotional wounds that made him susceptible to Hitler's lethal magnetism. Read as an inside account of the Third Reich, or as a revelatory unsparing yet compassionate study of the human capacity for evil, Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth is a triumph. "Fascinating...Not only a major addition to our knowledge of the Third Reich, but a stunning attempt to understand the nature of good and evil."--Newsday "More than a biography...It also constitutes a perceptive re-examination of the mysterious appeal of Adolf Hitler."--San Francisco Chronicle
Download or read book Albert Einstein A Biography written by Abdul Montaqim and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Albert Einstein is regarded by many people as the greatest scientific mind in the history of the world. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but one of the most important is that his theories led directly to the creation of the atom bomb, and with it, the dawn of the nuclear age. Not only did his work in theoretical physics—in particular, his famous e=mc2 equation—indicate that it would be possible to build a massively destructive bomb, the like of which had never been seen before, Einstein himself urged the United States government to go ahead and build it. Most historians agree that Germany’s invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of World War II in Europe. But about one month before that date—on August 2, 1939—Einstein, who was living in America at the time, wrote to the then President of the US, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, outlining the ongoing scientific breakthroughs—made by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard—that could lead to the creation of “extremely powerful bombs of a new type” and suggesting that the government should fund, manage and speed up the progress towards such weapons. In the letter, Einstein explained that the key element used in these scientific “chain reaction” experiments was an element called uranium, which would become critical to the making of the bombs in the immediate future. To that end, he recommended that the US government should give particular attention to securing the supply of uranium ore, particularly as the US had no significant uranium mines of its own. Einstein further pointed out that Germany had stopped exports from the uranium mines it owned in Czechoslovakia, implying that if the US did not develop the new bombs, Germany will. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK By the standards of most scientists, Einstein lived a varied and interesting life, living in several different countries over the course of his 76 years, formulating theories that not only changed the scientific establishment but also transformed the world, and getting married twice—the second time to, Elsa Löwenthal, his first cousin on his mother’s side and second cousin on his father’s side. It was with Elsa that he emigrated to the United States in 1933, the year when the Nazis came to power in Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. At that time, Jews were becoming increasingly targetted by the Germans. The Nazi propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, declared that “Jewish intellectualism is dead”, even as he encouraged students to organise mass public burnings of thousands of books, defending their actions as their “right to clean up the debris of the past”. Einstein was reported to be on a hit list, and it was probably only a matter of time that the Nazis came for knocking for him, or worse, if he had stayed in Germany. But he did not. He emigrated to the US at the age of 54, and stayed there for much of the rest of his life, becoming an American citizen in 1940. Elsa had died several years earlier, in 1936, of heart and kidney problems. And Einstein did not marry again. He and Elsa did not have children together, but Einstein had two sons, Hans and Eduard, and a daughter, Lieserl, from his previous marriage to Mileva Maric. It’s unclear what exactly his marital problems were when he was Mileva, but he separated from her in 1914, leaving her and their two sons in Zurich while he lived in Berlin. It’s also unclear what happened to their daughter, as no mention is made of her anywhere. During this difficult time in his life, Einstein had asked Mileva for a divorce, but she was reluctant, or unwilling. It has been reported that he promised that he would give her all the money from the Nobel Prize if she agreed to a divorce. He had not won the Nobel Prize at that time, but won it later, in 1921...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Finney was a Salford-born, homework-hating bookie’s son who broke the social barriers of British film. He did his share of roistering, and yet outlived his contemporaries and dodged typecasting to become a five-time Oscar nominee and one of our most durable international stars. Bon vivant, perennial rebel, self-effacing character actor, charismatic charmer, mentor to a generation of working-class artists, a byword for professionalism, lover of horseflesh and female flesh – Albert Finney is all these things and more. Gabriel Hershman’s colourful and riveting account of Finney’s life and work, drawing on interviews with many of his directors and co-stars, examines how one of Britain’s greatest actors built a glittering career without sacrificing his integrity.
Download or read book Life of Albert Pike c written by and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Life of Albert Pike, originally published in 1997, is as much a study of antebellum Arkansas as it is a portrait of the former general. A native of Massachusetts, Pike settled in Arkansas Territory in 1832 after wandering the Great Plains of Texas and New Mexico for two years. In Arkansas he became a schoolteacher, newspaperman, lawyer, Whig leader, poet, Freemason, and Confederate general who championed secession and fought against Black suffrage. During his tenure as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite—a position he held for more than thirty years beginning in 1859—Pike popularized the Masonic movement in the American South and Far West. In the wake of the Civil War, Pike left Arkansas, ultimately settling in Washington, D.C., where he lived out his last years in the Mason's House of the Temple. Drawing on original documents, Pike’s copious writings, and interviews with Pike’s descendants, Walter Lee Brown presents a fascinating personal history that also serves as a rich compendium of Arkansas’s antebellum history.

Download or read book Admiral Albert Hastings Markham written by Frank Jastrzembski and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a 19th-century adventurer who battled pirates, hunted buffalo, sailed the Arctic, and was “one of the most arresting figures of his time” (The Globe). Few men have lived such an extraordinary life as Admiral Albert Hastings Markham. Besides dedicating five decades of his career to Britain’s Royal Navy, Markham was a voracious reader, prolific writer, keen naturalist, and daring explorer. He battled Chinese pirates during the Second Opium War and Taiping Rebellion; chased down Australian blackbirding ships in the South Pacific; trekked to within 400 miles of the North Pole; hunted buffalo and visited Indian reservations in the United States; observed a bloody war in South America; canoed Canada’s remote Hayes River; and explored the icy waters of Baffin Bay and the Arctic Ocean archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. At the time of his death in 1918, The Globe declared that Markham had been “one of the most arresting figures of his time.” While Markham’s life was filled with adventure, it was also marred by tragedy. Regrettably, Markham is best remembered for his role in the sinking of HMS Victoria in 1893. This one incident has tarnished his legacy until now. This book follows Markham through his adventures and misfortunes—and reassesses the life of this forgotten yet fascinating admiral.
