Further down the bank of the Bayou, shining through the ghostly trees, stands a big Plantation House, white, silent, and tall. It's white columns gleaming in the silvery moonlight. The Plantation house is empty and lonely! SSSSSSsssssss.......What's that? Who's there? A wispy, white, filmy, uh, uh, uh, SOMETHING, can be seen floating through the Giant Live Oak Trees, floating, floating, and swirling around the gray Spanish Moss that trails to the ground.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung New translation of the original German manuscript of "Under the wheel", by Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse. This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a Philosophical Glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. Also translated as "Beneath the Wheel" or "The Prodigy" (Unterm Rad, 1905), this novel follows the story of Hans Giebenrath, a gifted boy whose rigorous academic pursuits at a Maulbronn seminary neglect his personal development. The story is a critique of the educational system and the dangers of extreme academic pressure. Hesse drew from his own experiences and struggles with the formal education system when writing this novel. After his friend Heilner's expulsion and his own mental decline, Hans returns home, struggling to adapt due to a lost childhood and absence of close relationships. Despite briefly finding solace in mechanical work, Hans tragically drowns after an evening of drinking, in mimicry of Goethe's famous novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. The entire novel casts light on the deleterious effects of an overly rigid educational system, a criticism he picked up from Nietzsche. The protagonist, Hans Giebenrath, becomes emblematic of a young mind stifled by its pedagogues, culminating in tragic outcomes. The narrative employs a Nietzschean lens, as Giebenrath is depicted as a byproduct of decadence. Furthermore, Hesse employs irony to highlight the insular nature of communities that remain oblivious to the progressive ideologies of figures like Nietzsche. The thematic preoccupation with the archetype of the genius recurs, epitomized by the character Hermann Heilner. He embodies the Nietzschean "Ubermensch" or overman, albeit with nuanced deviations. This character's disposition towards societal norms and his proclivity for artistry underpin his alignment with Nietzsche's tenets. Conversely, Giebenrath's inability to manifest the attributes of the overman underscores the disparities between idealistic constructs and the harsh realities of existence. Hesse's portrayal of Giebenrath serves as a poignant reflection on the challenges faced by the modern individual, emphasizing the mental and emotional tribulations that can arise from external pressures.

Book Synopsis Why the Wheel Is Round by : Steven Vogel
Download or read book Why the Wheel Is Round written by Steven Vogel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant history of technology. . . . full of wonders of nature, human invention, history” and more (Wall Street Journal). There is no part of our bodies that fully rotates—be it a wrist or ankle or arm in a shoulder socket, we are made to twist only so far. And yet there is no more fundamental human invention than the wheel—a rotational mechanism that accomplishes what our physical form cannot. Throughout history, humans have developed technologies powered by human strength, complementing the physical abilities we have while overcoming our weaknesses. Providing a unique history of the wheel and other rotational devices—like cranks, cranes, carts, and capstans—Why the Wheel Is Round examines the contraptions and tricks we have devised in order to more efficiently move—and move through—the physical world. Steven Vogel combines his engineering expertise with his remarkable curiosity about how things work to explore how wheels and other mechanisms were, until very recently, powered by the push and pull of the muscles and skeletal systems of humans and other animals. Why the Wheel Is Round explores all manner of treadwheels, hand-spikes, gears, and more, as well as how these technologies diversified into such things as hand-held drills and hurdy-gurdies. Surprisingly, a number of these devices can be built out of everyday components and materials, and Vogel’s accessible and expansive book includes instructions and models so that inspired readers can even attempt to make their own muscle-powered technologies, like trebuchets and ballista. Appealing to anyone fascinated by the history of mechanics and technology as well as to hobbyists with home workshops, Why the Wheel Is Round offers a captivating exploration of our common technological heritage based on the simple concept of rotation. From our leg muscles powering the gears of a bicycle to our hands manipulating a mouse on a roller ball, it will be impossible to overlook the amazing feats of innovation behind our daily devices. Praise for Why the Wheel Is Round “Reading this book, I found myself being pulled along by the curiosity of Vogel as he connects the power provided by the muscles of humans and animals with the immense variety of rotating objects invented over the course of human history. Despite the book’s title, wheels are only one part of the story. Firmly grounded in Vogel’s deep understanding of physical principles, the book is as informative as it is entertaining.” —Richard Marsh, Brown University “This book, like Vogel’s previous titles, is written in a conversational style that makes it accessible to laypeople and undergraduates, even though it addresses complex topics. It is appealing both as a popular science title and as an educational reading tool for graduate students, faculty, and other researchers interested in the field of biomechanics. Recommended.” —Choice
