Abstract
This paper takes a look at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, whose compassion and genuine caring for his students not only lead to the development of his basic education style, but also made him an endearing figure in the field of pedagogy.
From the Paper
"Much of his pedagogical theory, which he successfully implemented into his education practices, was outlined in his 1801 book How Gertrude Teaches Her Children. In this work he outlined how he wished to establish a method of instruction that was based on the psychological development of the child and emphasized the natural progression of human development. Spontaneity was key and learning was facilitated by the natural curiosity and propensity for exploration that children display (Mayer 214). Pestalozzi asserts that children should be allowed to arrive at answers on their own through hands-on exploration and an encouragement that allows their own powers of reasoning, judgment and observation to blossom instead of being given ready-made answers. The aim is ultimately very holistic. Pestalozzi's goal was to achieve a balance between the education of the head, the heart and the hands. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Heinrich events, and current theories of their origin. Additionally, this paper outlines the scientific method for discovering more information of Heinrich events, and their relationship to the Bond Cycle, Milankovitch Cycles, and Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) oscillations. Finally, it looks at the possible effects on global climate as the result of Heinrich events, using the Younger Dryas as the basis for discussion.
From the Paper
"Heinrich events were first discovered by Hartmut Heinrich of the German Hydrographic Institute of Hamburg, Germany in 1988. Heinrich extracted samples from northeastern Atlantic sediment cores, and analyzed the samples. He discovered that the number of lithic, or rock sediment, and planktonic foraminifera (zooplankton) shell formations fluctuated greatly in many of the core samples. Additionally, Heinrich noted that the components of the sediments seemed not to fluctuate gradually, but seemingly abruptly (Hackett, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of German Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi SS leader. It discusses his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi leader of the SS. Specifically, it will discuss his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was an unsuccessful chicken farmer and fertilizer salesman who became a leader in the Nazi party in the mid-1920s. As head of the SS as well as the Gestapo, he was a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. He was the organizer of the mass murder of Jews, the man in charge of the concentration and death camps."

Abstract
This paper describes the type of person Heinrich Himmler was and discusses how he managed to rule the Gestapo with such an iron fist. It looks at his attitude towards Jews and his creation and implementation of the Final Solution.
From the Paper
"In 1925, Himmler joined the newly-formed SS (?Schutzstaffel?), a group of elite German officers assigned as Adolph Hitler?s personal protection squad (the ?Leibstandarte?SS Adolph Hitler?). Not long after, Himmler became the leader of the dreaded SS and then decided to ensure the absolute autonomy of this organization by decreeing that all members of the SS were in a class of their very own and that those that committed a misdemeanor were above normal justice and could be tried only by an SS court which in effect meant that German law no longer applied to them."

'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' by Heinrich von Kleist., 2005.
A discussion of the pro-German nationalist theme in the play 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' by Heinrich von Kleist.

Abstract
This paper briefly sums up 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' as a play that chronicles the tale of one passionate, if self centered, Prince who defies orders in battle and is sentenced to death even though his action led to a decisive victory. According to this paper, this is one of Heinrich von Kleist's later works, and shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' has often been considered an early example of German nationalism.
From the Paper
"This play is one of a few latter works in the relatively short life of Heinrich von Kleist's career as a dramatist. He committed suicide at the age of thirty-four. As one of his later works, this play shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, Prince Friedrich of Homburg has often been considered an early example of German nationalism. While rudimentary in that regard, this play nonetheless exhibits many examples of nationalist ideology. Kleist considered this play to be a work of patriotic drama."

Abstract
This paper explains Fichte?s three fundamental principles. The author states that the ethical idealism of Fichte?s theory of knowledge and reality appears more clearly in his moral philosophy. The author concludes that, according to Fichte, even white lies are taboo since with these we exchange a right principle for expediency and seeming advantage.
From the Paper
"Fichte traced reality from the self-affirmation of the absolute Ego to the subject-object integration achieved by the moral will. The will, by striving and pursuing unendingly the ideal, expresses both its limited character as an empirical ego and, through moral activity, its oneness with the infinite Ego. Our essential life does not lie in the blind drive of empirical impulses but in the higher self-insight and self-commitment to a moral life. ?Divinity itself enters again into thee, in its first and original form, as life, as thine own life that thou shouldst live and wilt live.?"

Johannes Brahms?s ?Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D?, 2002.
This paper describes each movement of Johannes Brahms?s ?Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D?.

Abstract
This paper explains, by describing in detail each movement, that Brahms?s ?Violin Concerto? demonstrates how a composer can use aspects of music to move the listener emotionally. The author, for example, details that Brahms signals changes of mood by using dramatic retards followed by rhythmic passages, thereby, communicating an inevitable feeling of both despair and hope. The paper concludes that the overall feeling of the listener is that in the midst of despair there is always a glimmer of hope (first movement), that in the midst of turbulent emotions we can find peace (second movement), and that life should be full of enthusiasm and joy (third movement.)
From the Paper
"Gradually, the orchestra fades out and the solo violin comes in more rapid and intense, followed by forceful rhythms of the orchestra that builds to an intense climax, but then backs off so a sweet violin melody accompanied by a flute can break through. This ebb and flow of intensity, gradual crescendos and decrescendos continues throughout the first movement, shifting the listener back and forth between hope and despair. In some places, the violin is only accompanied by light pizzicato in the strings. Finally, Brahms brings the movement to a dramatic conclusion with a sometimes fiery and sometimes gentle passage by the violin and a triumphal orchestral denouement. The entire movement gives a feeling of strong, conflicting emotions."

Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann's Portrait, 2005.

Abstract
The paper describes the painting as oil on canvas that was donated to the Art Gallery of Ontario by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1988. This expressionistic painting measures 90.8 x 61 cm and the figure of Dr. Stadelmann is presented in a naturalistic but stylized manner. The paper explains that the pre-iconographic level of analysis, the level defined by Panofsky and cited in Schneider Adams in "The Methodologies of Art" as primary, or natural subject matter, gives an object of a standing male figure.

Abstract
Johannes Vermeer, who died in 1675 in his native city of Delft at the age of 42, created a small body of what are now considered to be almost perfect works. A master of composition and in the use of space, he was also one of the most skilled of the Dutch painters of his era in the use of light, producing mostly precise interior scenes of geometrically perfect composition that evoke a world of tranquillity and deep restfulness.
From the Paper
"Johannes Vermeer, who died in 1675 in his native city of Delft at the age of 42, created a small body of what are now considered to be almost perfect works. A master of composition and in the use of space, he was also one of the most skilled of the Dutch painters of his era in the use of light, producing mostly precise interior scenes of geometrically perfect composition that evoke a world of tranquillity and deep restfulness.
Given his exalted reputation in the late 20th century, it is a little hard to believe that the painter's works lay in obscurity for decades, not receiving significant attention after his death until the mid-19th century. The intimate scale of his paintings that is now revered was for a substantial period of time a liability. For example Gowing (1970) writes that "nowhere else ..."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Dutch painter Johannes (Jan) Vermeer's The Allegory of Painting, also known as The Art of Painting. Many art historians have thought that this work was created in praise of the "art of painting." However, this paper will show that The Allegory of Painting was instead a political statement on Vermeer's part.
Vermeer lived during the seventeenth century, a time which is known as the "Golden Age" of Holland. This was a period when great changes took place in virtually every area of Dutch life, creating an environment in which the arts flourished. The changes of the day were largely shaped by political events, as this was the time during which Holland won its status as an independent nation.-. There was also a current of religious tolerance in the air due to the spread of Protestantism in the ..."

Abstract
The paper relates that Copland based his music on a deep appreciation of the music of Brahms and Bach. The author points out that both Copland and Bach were enthralled by folk music as evidenced in Brahms' 'Hungarian Dances' and Copland's 'Billy the Kid'. The paper relates that, upon being asked by Brahms who influenced him, Bach remembers the deference that he held for the great organist Buxtehude; whereas, Beethoven and Robert Schumann strongly influenced Brahms. The author reveals that Brahms was a homosexual, Copland was a communist and Bach rebelled against the Calvinist Prince Leopold, his sponsor, by composing also such secular music as the 'Brandenburg Concertos'. The paper concludes that the music of all three men were revolutionary in their own way.
From the Paper
"Think of your Hungarian Dances. You were enthralled by the gypsy music that you heard, and it was evident in much of what you wrote. I also fell in love with folk music. I wrote 'Billy the Kid', which is indubitably folk, as well as 'Rodeo,' both of which are beloved. I'm not sure if you watch much television, but the hoedown from Rodeo is used in the 'Beef, it's What's for Dinner' commercial." "Speaking of beef, what is for lunch?" Johann interjected. "Do they have any mince pie?" "I'm not sure," Aaron replied, "but you might like a hamburger."
"As in Hamburg?" both Brahms and Bach asked.""
