Matt Ridley
The Origins of Virtue: Human Instincts and the Evolution of Cooperation

1998 y.
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
Description: Human life, scientific journalist Matt Ridley suggests, is a complex balancing act: we behave with self-interest foremost in mind, but also in ways that do not harm, and sometimes even benefit, others. This behavior, in a strange way, makes us good. It also makes us unique in the animal world, where self-interest is far more pronounced. `The essential virtuousness of human beings is proved not by parallels in the animal kingdom, but by the very lack of convincing animal parallels,` Ridley writes. How we got to be so virtuous over millions of years of evolution is the theme of this entertaining book of popular science, which will be of interest to any student of human nature. [detailed...]

The Origins of the International Competitiveness of Firms: The Impact of Location and Ownership in Professional Service Industries (New Horizons in International Business Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This important book focuses on the impact of home countries on the international competitiveness of Transnational Corporations (TNCs). It seeks to explain the geographic concentration of the most internationally competitive TNCs in many industries in a single or very few countries, and the uneven performance at these concentration points. The theoretical framework for this analysis is based on a link between the location advantages of countries and the ownership advantages of firms. The book focuses on professional service TNCs as the competitive advantages of these firms are based entirely on intangible, often mobile assets, and they thus provide a striking illustration for the ways in which such assets shape the competitiveness of firms. Analyses of TNCs in several professional service industries based in various countries reveal the dynamic balance between the home and the foreign countries in which the TNCs operate, as well as the combination of country- and… [detailed...]

The Orlov KGB File: The Most Successful Espionage Deception of All Time

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Alexander M. Orlov carefully picked his moment to defect. With a letter from the Canadian Consul General, he disappeared with his family in Paris on the afternoon of July 13, 1938. They sailed to Canada and established himself in Montreal. Soviet Intelligence jealously guards its secrets despite the flood of details published after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The historical facts that Moscow has revealed are not simply incomplete but are selected and structured to impress and to hide activities, past as well as ongoing, that remain classified. The true history of the Orlov defection offers a unique path to understand Soviet secret intelligence, its development, and its objectives from Lenin and Stalin to the present Russia of Putin and Medvedev. Orlov defected in a specific context. On November 25, 1938, Lavrenti Beria was appointed as the new People’s Commissar of the Interior. His first task was to purge the NKVD of both Yehzov appointees and the remnants of Yagoda’s men…. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The silhouette of a man on horseback stood on the knoll against the brilliant backdrop of the lightning, a man with flowing long hair and a large cape that flapped wildly in the wind. Apparently, King Idan had also seen the horse rider, for he pulled on the reins and halted the horse?s advance. Leaning back against his father, Ari remained still and peered ahead into the gloom, his heart beating with apprehension. At the age of six, Prince Ari witnessed his father?s assassination. Five years later, he continues to have recurring nightmares about the tragedy. Although he?s still heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Dinan, Ari?s life since King Idan?s death has been full of loneliness and misery. His uncle, Lord Peran, harbors no love for him, and his cousin, Roi, hates him. Ari blames his misery on his father?s assassin, Black Wolf, a legendary swordsman from the Empire of Narsus whose faceless, shadowy figure… [detailed...]

The Other Chekhov : A Biography of Michael Chekhov, the Legendary Actor, Director and Theorist

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe first 30 years of the 20th-century produced a theatrical explosion whose reverberations are still felt today. Stanislavsky, Meyerhold, Vakhtanghov, Michael Chekhov in Russia, Reinhardt, Piscator and Brecht in Germany, and Copeau, Barrault and Artaud in France collectively demolished the 19th-century aesthetic and, in their wake, created the modernity which is the hallmark of today`s theatre. Most of these men have already been turned into modern icons, there is no shortage of bios on the pioneers of the Moscow Arts Theatre, and the achievements of the others are chronicled and archived for posterity. Only one of these artists remains murky and ill-defined. He is Michael Chekhov (1891-1955), nephew of the famous playwright Anton Chekhov, the man that Stanislavsky described as `the most brilliant actor in all of Russia.` A charismatic actor, an inspiring director and a teacher that developed a dynamic antidote to Russian Naturalism, Chekhov remains the invisible man… [detailed...]

To this informal gathering of the most powerful business and financial magnates in the capitalist world are invited political leaders, cultural and religious organizations and even some trade unionists. The aim is to define global economic strategies. In 1999, a counter-Davos gathering brought together on the same date dissident social movements from across five continents: Brazil’s Landless People’s Movement, the Trade Union Congress of South Korea, the National Peasant Federation of Burkina Faso, the Quebec Women’s Movement and the French Movement of the Unemployed. They met with a number of eminent economists, sociologists, historians and political scientists. The aim was to demonstrate, by means of very different analyses and the putting forward of concrete alternatives, their opposition to the dominant ideology of neo-liberalism and the dictatorship of… [detailed...]

It’s a surreal world of humour and wonder, but also at times one of absurdity and paranoia. The images of this doppelganger universe are drawn not only from the visions and dreams of the subconscious, but also from a sense of the mysteries that lie hidden at the very periphery of the dream itself.
