A Look Back At Walt Disney’s Life And Legacy

A Look Back At Walt Disney’s Life And Legacy

theculturetrip.com

An animator, artist, entrepreneur, and producer, Walt Disney gave his name to the most famous brand of family entertainment in the world. Here we take a look back at his life, and his creation of a business empire that’s still going strong.Walt Disney was born in Chicago on December 5, 1901 to Elias and Flora Disney. Walt was one of five children. When he was four, he and his family moved to Marceline, Missouri. It was here that Walt found his love for drawing. He copied cartoons in the newspaper and was also paid by his neighbor to draw pictures of his neighbor’s horse.During this time, Walt’s uncle, Mike Martin, was a train conductor on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railways that passed near their house. Walt and his brother Roy would often run to the tracks to hear his uncle blow the train whistle. Walt kept his interest in trains throughout his life, and he would later make a train an essential component of Disneyland....

The scholar and the fencing master: The exchanges between Joseph Justus Scaliger and Ludolph van Ceulen on the circle quadrature

The scholar and the fencing master: The exchanges between Joseph Justus Scaliger and Ludolph van Ceulen on the circle quadrature

sciencedirect.com

In Chapter 21 of Vanden Circkel (On the Circle) [Van Ceulen, 1596], the arithmetic teacher and fencing master Ludolph van Ceulen published his analysis of 16 propositions which had been submitted to him by an anonymous “highly learned man”. In this paper, the author of the propositions will be identified as the classicist and humanist Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609), who lived in the city of Leiden, just like Van Ceulen. The whole Chapter 21 of Van Ceulen’s Vanden Circkel turns out to be a criticism of Scaliger’s Cyclometrica (1594), a work which includes a false circle quadr...

Richard Baxter: 400 Years Later, Still a Model Pastor

thegospelcoalition.org

Today marks the 400th birthday of Richard Baxter. It’s impossible to measure the influence of this English Puritan over four centuries. His works remain in print and are widely read, which shouldn’t surprise us. J. I. Packer considers him “the most outstanding pastor, evangelist, and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced,” listing Baxter’s The Reformed Pastor (1656) as one of the top five books that have influenced him most.I first read The Reformed Pastor as a high school student aspiring to pastoral...

An earthly paradise in Norwich

An earthly paradise in Norwich

The Norfolk-based writer, physician and antiquary, Sir Thomas Browne (1605–82), deserves to be much better remembered and not only for his many contributions to the vocabulary of science – “electricity”, “medical”, “deductive”, “anomalous” and “coma”, among them. When John Evelyn visited Browne in 1671 at his home in Norwich opposite the church of St Peter Mancroft, he found Browne’s house and garden, “a Paradise & Cabinet of rarities, & that of the best collection, especially Medails, books, Plants, natural things”. Evelyn noticed, “amongst other curiosities, a collecti...

The Two Sides of Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding is one of those writers who seem to demand biography. The works of Fielding or Keats or Woolf appear to have a personality of their own which in some manner persuades us that we should know more about the man or woman who wrote them, and that if we do we will understand something, ...

The Uncertain Heavens Christiaan Huygens’ Ideas of Extraterrestrial Life

During the 17th century, as knowledge of the Universe and its contents increased, so did speculation about life on other planets. One such source, as Hugh Aldersey-Williams explores, was Dutch astronomer, mathematician, and inventor Christiaan Huygens, whose earlier work on probability paved the ...
