Alfred Adler was born in 1870. He published his first major psychology book, Understanding Human Nature, in 1959.

Alder created 32 child guidance clinics in the Vienna public schools and began training teachers, social workers, physicians, and other professionals. Alder believes that where we are striving to go is more important than where we have come from. He saw humans as both the c...

Oskar Schindler accomplished many things within his life, such as saving the Jews, being a German spy, and helping the economy. His accomplishments have benefited those throughout his life. Although his kindness for his fellow man ran deep, so did his greed for boosting his own personal status within the community. There are still those today that believe that Oskar Schindler only saved the Jews for his own personal gain, but there are also those that believe that he did it out of kindness. Whether he did it out of good morale or simply for his own greed, Oskar Schindler 's many accomplishments have impacted plenty of lives.
Despite his university education, Sill remained indecisive about his future career. His love of knowledge pulled him in all directions, from writing to medicine. To make his final decision, he moved to California with his good friend Sextus Shearer. Ultimately, Sill spent a majority of his life writing and teaching, both on the East coast and the ...
Often, he patted water hydrants and parking meters, and is appalled when the furnitures doesn’t reply to him as he makes a conversation. Although Dr.P physically and mentally felt great, he went to his eye doctor who recommended him to Mr.Sacks. During his appointment with Oliver Sacks, he was able to distinguish abstract objects. However, as the objects became more complexed, he began to guess. Sacks was shocked to find Dr.P facing him with his right ear, rather than his eyes. Not only that, but Dr.P had also mistook his wife for his hat and his foot for his shoe. Sacks wanted to understand more about his case and went to his house a few days later. He came upon Dr.P’s artwork, which was placed in chronological order. There was a massive difference between his art work then and now. Before it was, “naturalistic and realistic, with vivid mood and atmosphere, but finely detailed and concrete. Then, years later, they became less vivid, less concrete, less realistic and naturalistic, but far more abstract, even geometric and cubist,” (Sacks 17). Sacks was curious on how Dr.P was able to function in life, so he asked his wife. “I put his usual clothes out, in all the usual places, and he dresses without difficulty, singing to himself,” (Mrs.P 17). Music centered all around Mr.P’s life, which made him able to live an average life. Although his disease became worse
Alfred Bernhard Nobel is a scientist ,author, pacifist, and above all of that he is inventor of dynamite and the holder of 355 patents. He was born on October, 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden and he is the fourth of Immanuel and Caroline Andriette Nobel’s eight children. He was raised in the capital of Russia where there were a wonderful mixture of different cultures and nationalities, and a great harmony between science and literature. Alfred was a weak child who always got sick but at the same time he was lively and curious about the world around him.

Alfred’s father, Immanuel Nobel was an engineer, inventor and a builder who built bridges and buildings in Stockholm, beside that he experimented for blasting rocks with different techniques because of his construction work.
The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic… They look out of no face but… from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles… Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice… then sank down himself into eternal blindness or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground. (Fitzgerald, 27-28)
Israel Isidore Baline was born in the Russian village of Tyumen on May 11th, 1888. His family left in the mid 1890s to escape the persecution of the Jewish community and settled in New York City (biography.com). Israel dropped out of school at age thirteen (Kenrick 143). Baline was a street singer as a teen and in 1906 he got a job as a singing waiter in Chinatown (biography.com). The first song he ever had published was called “Marie From Sunny Italy” (biography.com). He wrote it in 1907 with Nick Nicholson writing the music. Baline’s name was misspelled on the sheet music as “I. Berlin” (biography.com). He decided to keep it and changed his name to Irving Berlin (biography.com) . It was in this way that the legend was born.
I believe that Alfred Prufrock works in the medical field. He clearly attends tea parties and is surrounded by sophisticated people that speak of Michelangelo. He shows he has money because he wears a morning coat and tie, which is like a tuxedo today. Alfred describes the evening sky like a patient etherized upon a table which is describing a patient anesthetized during operation. Also he says there will be time to murder and create which is the essence of what doctors do. He could be talking about his ability to save lives or accidentally kill someone. For all the works and days of hands shows he probably works with his hands. He is also very cultivated with his knowledge of Shakespeare and The Bible showing he is well schooled like doctors. ...

Kohler married in his twenties and was a father of four. Few details exist on their marriage but later events suggest that all was not well (Schultz & Schultz, 2004). After earning his doctorate, he worked in a Psychological institute in Frankfurt (1910-1913) with Max Wertheimer and Kurt Koffka. This was the start of the Gestalt psychology (“Wolfgang Köhler,” n.d.; Zawidzki, 2004). Because Gestalt psychology was the study of perception, he pursued his ideas through the research with animals, sp...
Ernst Mach, an Austrian physicist, was born on February 18, 1838 in Moravia in the Austrian Empire. He was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church, but interestingly, later in his life, became an atheist. Until the age of 14, Ernst was educated by his parents at home. He then went to a gymnasium, or a high school, in Kromeriz. He was educated there for three years until he went to the University of Vienna in 1855 at the age of 17. At the University, he studied both physics and medical physiology. There, his doctoral teacher was Andreas von Ettingshausen. Mach received his doctorate in physics in the year 1860.

So he continued to work in sensory perception and psychophysics. He was intrigued by psychophysics after looking at Gustav...

Schiller was born on November 10, 1759 to Johann Kaspar Schiller and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß in Marbach, Württemberg. His father was an officer and a surgeon in the army of the Duke Karl Eugen, and was often unable to visit his family due to his enlistment in the Seven Years’ War. At the young age of seven, Schiller aspired to have a career in the clergy. However, the Duke Karl Eugen insisted Schiller enroll in the elite Karlsschule, a military academy, to study medicine. Although he was able to differentiate himself from his classmates and achieve academic excellence, Schiller found the school to be oppressive, and secretly studied literature. A year after his graduation in 1780, Schiller completed and self-published his first play, Die Räuber, drawing the attention of Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg, the director of the Mannheim National Theater. Because of the play...
