First, Sergeant Major Reinhold von Rumpel, an Aryan jeweler in Europe, was recruited by the autocratic regime to identify treasures pilfered from capitulated countries. Initially, von Rumpel’s duties excited him and he was proud to be a gemologist for the institution of the Führer Museum. The war had given him opportunities to handle “things he did not dream he would see in six lifetimes”, like “a seventeenth century globe…with rubies to mark volcanoes, sapphires clustered at the poles, and diamonds for world capitals” (142). The eager sergeant’s wishes became reality, but he would soon come to grasp under the pressure of his poor health, the emptiness of his life. The turning point in von Rumpel’s attitude toward his career involved the progression of his lymphoma and groin cancer,…

In contrast, I found Peter Watson’s ‘German Genius’ refreshing as it separates Germany from its unsettling history. Watson’s frustration with British attitudes towards Germany and the expertise devoted solely to Hitler and the Holocaust runs throughout. Offering a different focus, Watson marvels at Germany’s post-war recovery, quoting John Dewey, who described German civilisation as a "self-conscious idealism with unsurpassed technical efficiency and organisation". On a recent visit to Berlin, I saw this first-hand through the vibrant culture and successful industry, juxtaposed with reminders of the challenging Cold War past, which formed a fascinating part of A Level…
It has been a settled belief that God created the world and everything that we need is included in His creation. If we did not step outside that idea and started our own creations, the human experience would be entirely different. Like what Edward Byrn said in his essay, The Progress of Invention During the Past…
Inventing solutions and inventions is familiar to us in science and engineering. We use the word ‘invention’ in creative endeavours such as mathematics, music, literature and sometimes in fine art too. In a broader context invention can be defined as the purposeful use of imagination, to satisfy a human need and making human life a lot easier. The timing and the underlying mental processes are the aspects of invention which specifically outline in relation to science and technology; these equally apply to wider sectors of problem solving and creativity. In this era even an eight year old kid could build all kind of things let it be ramps, toy cars and many mechanical gadgets. The most astonishing part is that all this can be done by using simple tools like scissors, duct tape, screwdriver etc.…
Often times we struggle to venture out of the realm which is comforting and familiar to us. There is a stigma as well as a common human tendency to fear the unknown and the eminent possibility of failure. We as a species are lazy. Challenges that are daunting and seem unsolvable often turn us around in another direction. However, there is a select few within our species that attempt to take on challenges which do not have a clear end in sight. These individuals who take on this risk of failure are the ones who risk creating and discovering amazing things.…
Harriet Boyd is an American archaeologist who majored in Classics and was fluent in Greek. She carried out her graduate work at the American School of Classical studies in Athens which is where she originally requested to take part in the schools fieldwork, but as she was female this request was denied and it was advised that she become a librarian (Bois 1998). However, Boyd did not, thankfully, take this advice and began to travel around Crete on mule back, either alone or with a female friends, looking for prehistoric sites (Renfrew, 2008). During the field season in 1900, she had moderate success in Kavousi, something which caught the attention of Sara Yorke Stevenson, secretary of American Exploration Society who was so impressed with Boyd’s work she offered the societies financial backing for her to continue her work in Crete (Zogby 1987). It was due to this that Boyd made her greatest discovery.…
Hard work and dedication pays off most of the time. In that article that I forgot the name of in the front of the class, it states “story of how some serious elbow grease, ingenious thinking, and pure grit helped the nice girl finish first” (2-3). She worked to make her invention nothing less than perfect. She could have put it out there with…
