War and Film in America: Historical and Critical Essays

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAmerica?s chief exports are war and entertainment, combined, they are the war films viewed all over the world. The film industry is a partner of the government, American film shapes the ways in which both Americans and others view war. The authors herein explore differing film perspectives across five decades. The essays, written especially for this volume, explore topics such as frontier justice, Cold War fervor, government-sponsored terrorism, the `back-to-Nam` films, films as a venue for propaganda, and war?s far-reaching effects on personal values, family relationships, and general civility. The movies used in these analyses vary from conventional battle epics like Bridge on the River Kwai and The Green Berets to motion pictures with a war motif either as part of the story ( The Way We Were ) or as a historical setting ( The Graduate ). Some of the films are satirical ( Dr. Strangelove ), some are propagandistic ( The… [detailed...]

Лев Толстой
War and Peace (подарочный комплект из 3 книг)

2004 y.
Publisher: CRW Publishing Limited
Description: Стильно оформленное подарочное издание, представляющее собой комплект из трех книг в суперобложке, вложенных в подарочный футляр. Книги с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и шелковым ляссе. Widely regarded as the greatest novel in any language, War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families - particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs - the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14). The theme of war, however, is subordinate to the story of family existence, which involves Tolstoy`s optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, for example, reaches her greatest fulfilment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and her motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a minimum of free choice, all else is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism. … [detailed...]

Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace

2007 y.
Publisher: Knopf
Description: From Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the best-selling, award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov , comes a brilliant, engaging, and eminently readable translation of Leo Tolstoy’s master epic. War and Peace centers broadly on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the best-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves behind his family to fight in the war against Napoleon, and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman, who intrigues both men. As Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity,… [detailed...]

War and Peace

Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon`s war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy`s view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy`s philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation is the one which received Tolstoy`s approval. [detailed...]

Лев Толстой
War and Peace

2008 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: In Russia`s struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Yet while his historical vision ranged beyond national frontiers, his imaginative vision focused, with extraordinary intensity, on the lives of individuals, on the physical reality of human experience and its bewildering complexity. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, `a complete picture`, as a contemporary reviewer put it, `of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation`. Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation by Louise and Aylmer Maude. This edition includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy`s important essay `Some Words about War and Peace`. Формат: 130 мм x 195 мм. [detailed...]

Halperin focuses on the interrelationship of social forces, industrial expansion, and conflict in Europe between 1789 and 1944 (in part through a critique of Karl Polanyi`s The Great Transformation (1944)). Her account of the period challenges not only Polanyi`s analysis, but a variety of influential perspectives on nationalism, development, conflict, international systems change, and globalization.

War and the Soldier in the Fourteenth Century (Warfare in History)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLittle is known about the soldiers who fought in the Hundred Years War, though much about tactics and weapons. Adrian Bell`s book redresses the balance: he explores the `military community` through focusing on the records of the two royalexpeditions led by Richard Fitzalan, earl of Arundel, in 1387 and 1388, where the extensive surviving evidence makes it possible to identify those who served on these expeditions, and to follow their careers. These campaigns are not only interesting for the wealth and concentration of materials surviving on military organisation, but also because of the political background against which the expeditions were undertaken, which included the attack upon the favourites of the King in Parliament by the Lords Appellant and the possible temporary deposition of Richard II. Advances made in historical computing techniques have made possible for the first time such detailed analysis of the personnel of a royal army. … [detailed...]

The book offers broad conclusions onthe role and characteristics of armed force at sea before 1650, conclusions that exploit the best current understanding of the medieval period.

Description: Renowned business gurus Al and Laura Ries give a blow-by-blow account of the battle between management and marketing—and argue that the solution lies not in what we think but in how we think There`s a reason why the marketing programs of the auto industry, the airline industry, and many other industries are not only ineffective, but bogged down by chaos and confusion. Management minds are not on the same wavelength as marketing minds. What makes a good chief executive? A person who is highly verbal, logical, and analytical. Typical characteristics of a left brainer. What makes a good marketing executive? A person who is highly visual, intuitive, and holistic. Typical characteristics of a right brainer. These different mind-sets often result in conflicting approaches to branding, and the Ries` thought-provoking observations—culled from years on the front lines—support this conclusion, including: Management deals in reality.

Yet there still remain those who remember the day the ancient city of Urn fell, when the hordesof the Aunsidhlien first came into being in the aftermath of Delserite?s war.

War of Currents: George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, Direct Current, Electric Power, Alternating Current, Nikola Tesla

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the `War of Currents` era (sometimes, `War of the Currents` or `Battle of Currents`) in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison`s promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. During the initial years of electricity distribution, Edison`s direct current was the standard for the United States and Edison was not inclined to lose all his patent royalties. Direct current worked well with incandescent lamps that were the principal load of the day, and with motors. Direct current systems could be directly used with storage batteries, providing valuable load-leveling and backup power during interruptions of generator operation. Direct current generators could be easily paralleled, allowing economical operation by using smaller machines during periods of light load and improving reliability. At the… [detailed...]

War of the Windsors

2003 y.
Publisher: Mainstream Publishing
Description: The year 2002 marked the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reign of any monarch of the House of Windsor. Yet the future of the monarchy is by no means certain, not simply due to today`s more egalitarian era, but also because of fundamental weaknesses within the royal house itself. While many of its failings are well known, hidden from public scrutiny are more disturbing activities for which the royals have never been held to account. This controversial work reveals the truth behind Britain`s modern monarchy. The book exposes Lord Mountbatten`s ruthless scheming to make Britain`s ruling family the House of Mountbatten, the real untold story of the abdication of Edward VIII, the existence of a shadowy cabal committed to protecting the royal image, and the truth behind notorious spy Anthony Blunt`s connections to the Royal Family. It reveals the unconstitutional behaviour of the House of Windsor, the cover-up of major financial scandals connected with George VI and other… [detailed...]

With an acerbic tongue, Slouka examines what he considers to be the dark side of the net.
