The Rumor: A Jataka Tale from India

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThis classic folk tale about a worrywart rabbit features exquisite illustrations in a traditional Indian style. Long ago in ancient India, there lived a young hare who worries about everything ? food, rain, and even the color of her eyes. As she tries to settle down for a quiet nap, she hears a very loud explosion. Convinced that `the world is breaking up,` she tears out of her grove, alarming an increasing herd of animals ? hares, wild boars, deer, tigers, and rhinos ? whose stampede becomes frenzied. Can it be stopped? Perfect for reading aloud, this beautifully told variation on the Chicken Little story is printed in a handsome, large-format book that has the effect of tapestries. Hidden details entice young readers, andNature Notes at the end explain the story?s history along with the wildlife, flora, and fauna that appear. [detailed...]

The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he`s being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered.

Publisher: A Dell Book
Description: They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to himЕ He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption - and with justice fighting for its lifeЕ ‘ормат: 10,5 см x 17,5 см.

They all watched, from the sprawling polluted slums to the security-obsessed enclaves of the rich. They all watched the ultimate live death game as the contestants tried to beat not the clock, but annihilation at the hands of the Hunters.

The Running of the Bulls: Inside the Cutthroat Race from Wharton to Wall Street

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Forbes journalist Nicole Ridgway takes an up-close look at the stressful and ultra-competitive job- hunting process at the world-famous Wharton School as seniors vie for coveted positions at top investment banks and consulting firms, and attempt to become the next generation of Wall Street power brokers. The #1 ranked Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is the only Ivy League undergraduate business program in the country, the alma mater of such moguls as Donald Trump, junk-bond king Michael Milken, and Revlon CEO Ron Perelman, and each year it graduates five hundred overachievers all striving to become the new barons of Wall Street. The Running of the Bulls is the first intimate look inside this unique institution, and Ridgway presents an unforgettable portrait of a culture in which a $120,000 education is an investment that needs to produce immediate results?and not landing a job at a prestigious bank like Goldman Sachs is the ultimate failure.

The Ruptures Of American Capital: Women Of Color Feminism And The Culture Of Immigrant Labor

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Universality is a dangerous concept, according to Grace Kyungwon Hong, one that has contributed to the rise of the U.S. nation-state that privileges the propertied individual. However, African American, Asian American, and Chicano people experience the same stretch of city sidewalk with varying degrees of safety, visibility, and surveillance. The Ruptures of American Capital examines two key social formationsЧwomen of color feminism and racialized immigrant womenТs cultureЧin order to argue that race and gender are contradictions within the history of U.S. capital that should be understood not as monolithic but as marked by its crises. Hong shows how women of color feminism identified ways in which nationalist forms of capital, such as the right to own property, were repressive. The Ruptures of American Capital demonstrates that racialized immigrant womenТs culture has brought to light contested modes of incorporation into consumer culture. InterweavingЕ [detailed...]

Sidney Goldfarb
The Rushes of Tulsa: and Other Plays

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: These four plays by Sidney Goldfarb are politically astute and savagely funny, though remarkably compassionate, like a stew cooked up by the Marx Brothers, Groucho and Karl, after years of Zen Meditation. Pursued by the forces of murder and exploitation, ordinary people struggle just to stay alive. The path to liberation is through the human body, at once the arena of conflict and the locus of healing in a culture torn by menace and mayhem. This is a Theater of Incarnation. It is also a Theater of Celebration. Startling invention in language and structure turn palpable horrors into unexpected forms of transcendence. Goldfarb ranks among the indispensable experimental playwrights of his generation. Includes THE RUSHES OF TULSA, ORANGE GROVE, HOT LUNCH APOSTLES, and PEDRO PARAMO. [detailed...]

The Russia House

Publisher: Hodder
Description: It is the third summer of perestroika. Barley Blair, London publisher, receives a smuggled document from Moscow. It contains technical information of overwhelming importance. But is it genuine? Is the author genuine? A plant? A madman? Blair, jazz-loving, drink-marinated, disheveled, is hardly to the taste of the spymasters, yet he has to be used - sent to the Soviet Union to make contact. Katya, the Moscow intermediary, is beautiful, thoughtful, equally skeptical of all state ideology. Together, as the safe clich?s of hostility disintegrate, they may represent the future - an idea that is anathema to the entrenched espionage professionals on both sides. `The Russia House`: a spy story, a love story, and a fable for our time. ‘ормат: 11 см x 17,5 см.

The Russian Army 1914-18

2001 y.
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: Often overshadowed by the drama of its catastrophic collapse in the November 1917 Revolution, the Imperial Russian Army`s record in 1914-16 included some notable victories. Its human qualities of patriotism and endurance were remarkable, and in 1916 the `Brusilov Offensive` on the South-Western Front outdistanced anything that was being achieved in France. The variety and romance of its uniforms - infantry and cavalry, Guards and Line, Cossacks, armour and Air Service crewmen, even a priest - are splendidly captured here by Russia`s leading military artist, and Nik Cornish`s expert text is supported by tables of insignia and many rare photographs.

The Russian Century: A History of the Last Hundred Years

Publisher: Random House
Description: Destined to become a standard short history of the pre- and post-revolutionary years, `The Russian Century` is no ordinary work of scholarship. Brian Moynahan, a historian of Russia and formerly the European editor of `The Sunday Times`, has combined his wide knowledge of Russia`s social, political, and military history into a thorough, splendidly written survey of the forces that led Russia to revolution twice during this century. Making ample use of contemporary letters, memoirs, and documents, Moynahan traces Russia`s course from the last days of the tsars through Red October, collectivization, the purges, two world wars and one cold one, and beyond the collapse of Communism, then takes a look at what the future may hold. With its eight pages of stunning photographs and an introduction that includes a poem by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, `The Russian Century` will reward all who open it. ‘ормат: 13 см х 20,5 см.

The Russian Civil War 1918-22

2008 y.
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: The Russian Civil War was the most important event of its kind in the 20th century. It changed the lives of over half a billion people and dramatically shaped the political, human and economic geography of Europe, the Far East and Central Asia. Over a tempestuous four-year period the Communist Red Army and the loosely formed, anti-Bolshevist White Army battled in a war that would totally transform the vast Eurasian heartland and lead to Communist revolutions worldwide as well as the Cold War. David Bullock offers a fresh perspective on this conflict, examining the forces of both sides, the intervention of non-Russian forces, including American, Canadian, British, and Japanese troops, and the involvement of female soldiers and partisans. The military story of massed infantry and cavalry actions, mechanized warfare with tanks, armored cars and trains, and air combat, all along rapidly shifting fronts, is told against the incredible backdrop of political and social revolution.

Orthodox theologians believed that icons, with their symbolic content, were to illustrate the Liturgy and, being in accord with the texts of Holy Scripture, add details to them and make the Gospels more comprehensible. While working on an image theologians and iconographers used all available sources: the Gospels, hagiographies, verbal expressions from the Liturgy and other services, hymns, prayers, words of prophets and commentaries. ‘ормат: 24 см х 31 см. »здание на английском ¤зыке.

In the palace you find yourselves in the realm of calm and silence - a calm of museum suites, a silence of paintings, sculptures and drawings. But are they really silent? The museum can be compared to a giant theatre and its rooms to the stage where a grand performance is under way. Like a usual performance this pageant of art is built up of numerous mise-en-scenes - only here they are arrested for ever (or probably for a moment?) in thousands of pictures, statues and engravings. Look at them closely-and you will discern the well-known theatrical genres: tragedy, drama, comedy and pastoral. And literary forms can be identified quite easily too: novels, stories, novellas, poems and sonnets. Listen to them attentively - and yen will make another rewarding discovery: artists and their characters address to you from the depth of time speakingЕ [detailed...]
