It took over a century to build Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence. In 1418, builders realized that constructing the cathedral’s dome was a bit of a challenge, and they asked for proposals. A goldsmith and clockmaker called Filippo Brunelleschi submitted the winning plan and spent almost 30 years vaulting the dome. Here, King tells the tale of the genius Brunelleschi and sheds light on the travails of life in 15th-century Italy, to boot. The cathedral dome contest was not the first time Brunelleschi had competed to public acclaim: when he was 24—just three years after he was designated a master goldsmith—he offered a design for the bronze doors to the baptistery of San Giovanni that was very nearly accepted.

We have witnessed Ray Lewis’ transformational leadership style every Sunday for the past 5 years. Ray Lewis constantly makes changes through communication with his secondary and defensive lines during the game. When he is not communicating during the game, he can be seen giving speeches to players in the locker room (Preston, 2011). Ray Lewis has a large influence on other defensive players and this is partly due to John Harbaugh’s influence upon him. Research shows that leaders with high emotional intelligence are more effective and that transformational leadership allows for coaches like John Harbaugh to be an effective decision maker (Bliss, 2005).

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an attention-grabbing poem that was written in cuneiform on baked clay tablets. In 1853, the first fragments were discovered among the ruins of Nineveh, but the text wasn’t decrypted and translated until several decades later. When cuneiform was officially decrypted in 1857, researchers discovered that the tablets were written in Akkadian, an ancient Semitic language associated with Hebrew and Arabic. Then, in 1872, a young British Museum curator named George Smith realized that one of the tablet fragments told the story of a Babylonian Noah, who survived the great flood sent by the gods. After this discovery, more fragments have been uncovered at Nineveh and in ruins of other ancient cities.
