The Vietnam War 1956-1975

2002 y.
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: The Vietnam War was arguably the most important event, or series of events, of the `American Century`. America entered the brutal conflict certain of its Cold War doctrines and certain of its moral mission to save the world from the advance of communism. As this book explains, the war was not at all what the United States expected. Outnumbered and outgunned, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces resorted to a guerrilla war based on the theories of Mao Zedong of China. This was war reduced to its most basic level - find the enemy and kill him. Формат издания: 17 см х 25 см. [detailed...]

The View From the Bridge: Memories of Star Trek and a Life in Hollywood

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The critically acclaimed director and writer shares his account of the making of the three classic Star Trek filmsThe View from the Bridge is Nicholas Meyer`s enormously entertaining account of his involvement with the Star Trek films: STII: The Wrath of Khan, STIV: The Voyage Home, and STVI: The Undiscovered Country, as well as his illustrious career in the movie business. The man best known for bringing together Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud in The Seven Per-Cent Solution had ironically never been interested in Star Trek until he was brought on board to save the film series. Meyer shares how he created the script for The Wrath of Khan, the most revered Star Trek film of all, in twelve days-only to have William Shatner proclaim he hated it. He reveals the death threats he received when word got out that Spock would be killed, and finally answers the long-pondered question of whether Khan`s chiseled chest is truly that of Ricardo Montalban. Meyer`s reminiscences on everyone from… [detailed...]

The View From the Seventh Layer (Vintage Contemporaries)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Peering into the often unnoticed corners of life, Kevin Brockmeier has been consistently praised for the originality of his vision, the boundlessness of his imagination and the command of his craft. Once again, in this new collection of fiction, Brockmeier shows us a fantastical world that is intimately familiar but somehow distant and beautiful. From the touching title story, where a young, antisocial woman imagines her escape into the sky with an apparition only she can see, to the haunting story of a pastor tempted by something less than divine, Brockmeier moves effortlessly from the extraordinary to the everyday, while challenging us to see the world anew. Stunning, elegant, profound, and playful, The View from the Seventh Layer cements Kevin Brockmeier`s place as one of the most creative and compassionate writers of his generation. [detailed...]

Alice Munro
The View from Castle Rock: Stories

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A powerful new collection from one of our most beloved, admired, and honored writers. In stories that are more personal than any that she’s written before, Alice Munro pieces her family’s history into gloriously imagined fiction. A young boy is taken to Edinburgh’s Castle Rock, where his father assures him that on a clear day he can see America, and he catches a glimpse of his father’s dream. In stories that follow, as the dream becomes a reality, two sisters-in-law experience very different kinds of passion on the long voyage to the New World, a baby is lost and magically reappears on a journey from an Illinois homestead to the Canadian border. Other stories take place in more familiar Munro territory, the towns and countryside around Lake Huron, where the past shows through the present like the traces of a glacier on the landscape and strong emotions stir just beneath the surface of ordinary comings and goings. First love flowers under the… [detailed...]

Aaron Hamburger
The View from Stalin`s Head

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe ten stories in The View from Stalin’s Head unfold in the post–Cold War Prague of the 1990s—a magnet not only for artists and writers but also for American tourists and college grad deadbeats, a city with a glorious yet sometimes shameful history, its citizens both resentful of and nostalgic for their Communist past. Against this backdrop, Aaron Hamburger conjures an arresting array of characters: a self-appointed rabbi who runs a synagogue for non-Jews, an artist, once branded as a criminal by the Communist regime, who hires a teenage boy to boss him around, a fiery would-be socialist trying to rouse the oppressed masses while feeling the tug of her comfortable Stateside upbringing. European and American, Jewish and gentile, straight and gay, the people in these stories are forced to confront themselves when the ethnic, religious, political, and sexual labels they used to rely on prove surprisingly less stable than they’d imagined. … [detailed...]

Louise de la Ramee, Ouida
The Village Commune

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Louise de la Ramee -- also known as Ouida -- was a remarkable nineteenth century writer, with a heck of a range -- she published classic adventure novels, like Under Two Flags, but she also wrote lots of essays -- and wonderfully charming books for children. Her children`s work is nothing adult readers should feel shy of, Ouida`s children`s fiction has an enduring and endearing quality that makes the pages sing. This novel, The Village Commune, is more adult than childish, but it`s an odd thing when you consider it as a novel. In some ways, it`s a political argument, couched as a novel -- interesting stuff, especially for those who want to examine the sorts of thought that gave rise to twentieth-century political experiments.

The Village of Stepanchikovo (Penguin Classics)

1995 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Summoned to the country estate of his wealthy uncle Colonel Yegor Rostanev, the young student Sergey Aleksandrovich finds himself thrown into a startling bedlam. For as he soon sees, his meek and kind-hearted uncle is wholly dominated by a pretentious and despotic pseudo-intellectual named Opiskin, a charlatan who has ingratiated himself with Yegor`s mother and now holds the entire household under his thumb. Watching the absurd theatrics of this domestic tyrant over forty-eight explosive hours, Sergey grows increasingly furious - until at last, he feels compelled to act. A compelling comic exploration of petty tyranny, `The Village of Stepanchikovo` reveals a delight in life`s wild absurdities that rivals even Gogol`s. It also offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of the characters and situations of many of Dostoyevsky`s great later novels, including `The Idiot`, `Devils` and `The Brothers Karamazov`.

Description: The Renaissance architect and builder Andrea Palladio is arguable the most influential architect in Western history, and certainly the most beloved. His sixteenth-century villas in the Italian Veneto revolutionized the course of architecture, and the principles on which he based his work are still felt today. For the past several years, Italian watercolorist Giovanni Giaconi has devoted his talents to creating exquisite large-format pen-and-ink watercolor renderings of all thirty-two of Palladio?s villas. Each drawing captures the timeless beauty of Palladian architecture and provides a detailed record of these masterpieces. Together with brief descriptions of each villa, samples of Giaconi?s preparatory sketches, and where available, Palladio?s own woodcuts, these works of art leave a deep impression of Palladio?s oeuvre and give the reader an opportunity to compare the original designs with the actual buildings and their present state of conservation.

The Violence Within the Violence Without: Wallace Stevens and the Emergence of a Revolutionary Poetics

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWallace Stevens (1879-1955), one of the leading poets of the twentieth century, continues to influence a wide range of poets writing today. However, an image persists of Stevens as an aesthete who was politically removed from his times and who also exhibited sexist and racist tendencies. Jacqueline Vaught Brogan offers careful readings from across the Stevens canon to demonstrate that, contrary to such enduring earlier assessments, Stevens`s work over the years shows poetic and political changes that merge with his growing ethical concerns. Brogan traces Stevens`s evolving poetic practices along three major lines that often intersected. She situates the beginnings of Stevens`s development within his early resistance to the pressures of `reality` on the imagination, an artistic stand that pitted him against the `objective` poetry exemplified in the work of William Carlos Williams. Then, in the midst of Stevens`s career, World War II moved him forward with new poetic… [detailed...]

The Violence-Prone Workplace: A New Approach to Dealing With Hostile, Threatening, and Uncivil Behavior (Ilr Paperback.)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Almost every week reports of violence erupting in the workplace make headlines. Contrary to popular opinion, such incidents are not random and senseless but, according to Richard V. Denenberg and Mark Braverman, typically result from conflict that has been allowed to fester. Combining the insights of both crisis management and dispute resolution, their book presents a comprehensive look at the problem of violence on the job, including ways of preventing it. Rather than focusing on the supposedly `lethal` or dysfunctional employee as the source of danger, Denenberg and Braverman point to the dysfunctional workplace as the problem. They describe underlying factors in the workplace which can foster extreme behavior and prevent an effective response. Calling for early intervention in situations that could result in violence, the authors suggest specific techniques for reducing the risk that an office, plant, or school will suffer crises arising from threats or a climate of hostility. … [detailed...]
