The Gjallarhorn
From old, the Gjallarhorn was the drinking vessel Mimir used to dispense from his well of knowledge to the other aesir.
In the same way, our Gjallarhorn contains writings on a wide range of topics; there is no real theme to it. But instead, knowledge is collected and shared.
Here you will find writings that cover the spectrum of human interests—touching on Philosophy, Mathematics, History, Archaeology, Gardening, Crafts, books we like, and so much more. We endeavour to make it easy to find what you are looking for.
But at the same time, the journey of discovery is more rewarding than the destination once there.
John Kampfner - Why the Germans Do it Better (Review)
Why the Germans do it better is a political commentary that covers the history of some of Germany's most significant upheavals.
The fallout of the Second World War, the reunification, and the migrant crisis of 2015. And throughout, Kampfner asks the question, “How come none of this destroyed the country? ” This is a review that was ostensibly written for a Tech blog more than as a Political commentary, so the angle is somewhat different from usual.
