John Lewis Gaddis
The Cold War

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: In 1945 war came to an end. But a whole new terror was only just beginning… `The Cold War`, the most gripping non-fiction book of the year, takes us as never before to the time when the world stood on the brink of destruction. Here is the truth behind every spy thriller you`ve read: why America and the Soviet Union became locked in a deadly stalemate, how close we really came to nuclear catastrophe, what was going on in the minds of leaders from Stalin to Mao Zedong, Reagan to Gorbachev, how secret agents plotted and East German holidaymakers helped the Berlin Wall fall. It is a story of crisis talks and subterfuge, tyrants and power struggles - and of ordinary people changing the course of history. Формат издания: 13 см х 20 см. [detailed...]

John Lewis Gaddis
The Cold War

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: With the skill and judgment of a master historian, Gaddis reveals the underlying dynamics of the Cold War for a new generation of readers - how politics and ideology interacted with one another, how changes in society were as important as changes in government, how concepts of morality affected (or didn`t affect) what leaders did. Finally, in a work whose interpretive authority equals its narrative power, he shows how policy-makers at the top - and ordinary people at the bottom - reversed the course of history, thereby achieving one of the greatest victories ever for the human spirit.

But more often than not, it turns out to be a mirage, as managers haggle over turf and senior management lacks the skills or commitment to recognize, support, and sustain collaboration.

The Collapse of America: A Ruined State?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: America is falling, and may not be here without change, as we know it, in our life time, just as the U.S.S.R. suddenly fell in the 1990`s, ruining that Super Power and ending the cold war, with hundreds of thousands of refugees having to flee Russia. With reports of human meat being sold as the currency [rubble] became worthless, as the U.S.S.R broke up into 15 independent States, unexpectedly, shocking the world. Indicative of the fact that it will happen to America, as banks made sub-prime loans to rape the housing industry and consumers with credit cards. And the manufacturing base being traded bit by bit, liquidating assets for cash, selling out the U.S. Preparing for the collapse of the U.S dollar, and the fall of the U.S. With the U.S. borrowing billions to fund tax cuts for the rich.

The Collapse of Globalism: And the Reinvention of the World

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Grand economic theories rarely last more than a few decades and globalization, with its technocratic and technological determinism, and its market idolatry, may have seen its best days. Perhaps it is already a spent force, argues John Ralston Saul - the prize-winning author of Voltaire`s Bastards, and On Equilibrium, among others - in this groundbreaking new book. The Collapse of Globalism follows globalization from its promising beginnings in the 1970s through to the increasing deregulation in industry, and into the 1990s, when regional economic collapses and concern for the environment and for the rights of workers led to widespread protest and disillusionment. In the wake of globalism`s collapse, nationalism of the best and worst sort, Saul demonstrates, shows signs of making a remarkable, unexpected recovery. [detailed...]

The Collapse of the Kyoto Protocol and the Struggle to Slow Global Warming (Council on Foreign Relations Book)

Description: Even as the evidence of global warming mounts, the international response to this serious threat is coming unraveled. The United States has formally withdrawn from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, other key nations are facing difficulty in meeting their Kyoto commitments, and developing countries face no limit on their emissions of the gases that cause global warming. In this clear and cogent book-reissued in paperback with an afterword that comments on recent events--David Victor explains why the Kyoto Protocolwas never likely to become an effective legal instrument. He explores how its collapse offers opportunities to establish a more realistic alternative. Global warming continues to dominate environmental news as legislatures worldwide grapple with the process of ratification of the December 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The collapse of the November 2000 conference at the Hague showed clearly how difficult it will be to bring the Kyoto treaty into force. Yet most politicians, policymakers, and… [detailed...]

Description: The importance of A.W.N.

A leading British architect who was also a designer of furniture, textiles, stained glass, metalwork, and ceramics, he is one of the most significant figures of the mid-nineteenth century and one of the greatest designers. His correspondence is important because it provides more insight into the man and more information about his work than any other source. In this volume, the third of five, which spans the years 1846 to 1848, Pugin`s two most important churches are completed and the first part of the House of Lords is opened. He makes his only trip to Italy, and he marries for the third time. His correspondence sheds light too on the religious life of the time, especially ecclesiastical politics. [detailed...]

Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most popular works of English fiction. Although Charlotte Bronte`s heroine is outwardly plain, she possesses an indomitable spirit, and great courage. Forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order which circumscribes her life when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic Mr Rochester. Villette is based on Charlotte Bronte`s personal experience as a teacher in Brussels. It is a moving tale of repressed feelings and cruel circumstances borne with heroic fortitude. Rising above the confinement of a rigid social order, it is also a story of a woman`s right to love and be loved. Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte`s wild, passionate tale of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine`s father. After Mr Earnshaw`s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine`s brother… [detailed...]

Description: In awarding Odysseus Elytis the 1979 Nobel Prize in literature, the Swedish Academy praised him `for his poetry, which, against the background of Greek tradition, depicts with sensuous strength and intellectual clearsightedness modern man`s struggle for freedom and creativeness.` Throughout his long career as a poet, Elytis (1911--1996) remained true to his vision of a poetry that addresses the power of language and connects the history and mythology of Greece to the physical world and to the realities of the modern age. Renowned for their astonishing lyricism and profound optimism, Elytis`s poems capture the natural wonders of Greece and give voice to the contemporary Greek -- and to a more universally human -- consciousness. Originally published in 1997, The Collected Poems of Odysseus Elytis, translated into English by Jeffrey Carson and Nikos Sarris, was the first complete collection of Elytis`s poems in any language. Included in this landmark volume were Elytis`s early… [detailed...]
