| vulcan and his inventions: The Transformation of Evil Sigismund von Gleich, 2005 Written in the years right after World War II, this brief book offers a powerful meditation on evil and its eventual transformation. Focusing on the realm of subnature, or the subterranean spheres, von Gleich shows how the various layers of the Earth's interior are linked directly to the mystery of evil. The author begins by summarizing the classical image of the underworld of Greek mythology. He then describes the various qualities of the Earth's nine layers, as elucidated by Rudolf Steiner. Finally, he outlines the counter-impulses--the forces of good--that work in opposition to the nine currents of evil harbored within the Earth. Although written more than fifty years ago, von Gleich's thoughts are more relevant than ever today, when humanity is surrounded by war, violence, starvation, greed, and the phenomena of increasingly obtrusive technology. In a newly written introduction, Paul V. O'Leary places von Gleich's work within the context of today's world. |

| vulcan and his inventions: Creative Thinking in Warfare Brigadier J Nazareth, In his book, Brig. Nazareth sets out to dispel the notion that “war is too serious an affair to be left to military men.” He traces the history of war from more than 3000 years ago to the present day and explores the minds of military leaders through their contribution to the success or failure of a war. In the game of war, he says, there is no second prize and crucial decisions have to be taken, sometimes instantaneously, in chaotic, even deceptive circumstances. The author attributes a vital role to the military commander who, in addition to being technically proficient, must also be sensitive to the needs of his men. He makes a study of creativity and interprets it for us in military terms. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs of well-known military leaders, figures which explain the process of creative thinking, and maps and sketches of combat areas. |

| vulcan and his inventions: Unintended Inventions Christopher Miller, AI, 2025-03-29 Unintended Inventions explores the captivating history of accidental discoveries that have profoundly shaped our world. It delves into how chance encounters, mistakes, and unforeseen circumstances have led to remarkable technological advancements, impacting industries and transforming daily life in unexpected ways. The book reveals that many significant innovations arose not from deliberate planning, but from serendipitous moments and keen observation. For instance, the creation of the sticky note, now a ubiquitous office staple, stemmed from a failed attempt to create a super-strong adhesive. The book challenges the conventional view of invention as a linear, problem-solving process, instead emphasizing the crucial roles of luck, adaptability, and human ingenuity. It explores the psychological factors that enable individuals to recognize the potential of accidental discoveries, such as curiosity and open-mindedness. Through case studies across various industries, from the accidental creation of the potato chip to other technological marvels, the book examines the circumstances, key figures, and societal impacts of these inventions. The book progresses by first defining unintended inventions and then moves on to explore the broader implications for innovation policy, research funding, and entrepreneurial strategy, illustrating how embracing experimentation and even failure can lead to valuable breakthroughs. |

| vulcan and his inventions: The Incomparable Monsignor J. L. Heilbron, 2022-05-26 Through Francesco Bianchini, the 'greatest Italian of his time' this book explores the exciting meeting of science, history, and politics in early modern Europe. Born in a time where entry into the church granted power, privilege, and access to the most exciting ideas of his time, the magnificent Monsignor Francesco Bianchini was an accomplished player in the political, scientific, and historical arenas of early modern Europe. Among his accomplishments were writing a universal history from the creation to the fall of Assyria; discovering, excavating, and interpreting ancient buildings; and designing a papal collection of antiquities that was later partially realized in the Vatican museums. He was also responsible for confirming and publicizing Newton's theories of light and color; discovering several comets; and building the most beautiful and exact heliometer in the world in the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome. Bianchini's international reputation earned him election to the Académie royale des sciences of Paris and the Royal Society of London. As a trusted servant of Pope Clement XI, he helped to execute the difficult balancing act the papacy practiced during the War of the Spanish Succession, which pitted Britain, the Dutch Republic, and the Habsburg Empire against France and Spain. One of his assignments also resulted in attachment to the cause and person of the Old Pretender, James III, the Stuart claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Through the career of this eminent and adept diplomat, astronomer, archaeologist, and historian, J. L. Heilbron introduces a world of learning and discovery, Church and State, and politics and power. |

It studies their commissioning, their designers and the social conditions and gender relations that they knowingly or unwittingly reveal. The volume celebrates working-class culture and shows how it could be both innovative and derivative. Annie Ravenhill-Johnson’s exploration of the artistry of the emblems – the art of and for the toiling masses – sets these images of labour in their historical, cultural and ideological context. |
