Dahmane: Addicted to Nudes	Marston Book Services
Автор: Dahmane Nicholas Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2008	PDF, 120 страниц, 3.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
«Dahmane has been passionately devoted to nude photography for more than 25 years, with his last two offerings Dressed Nudes and Erotic Sessions out of print and greatly sought-after. Dahmane is now inviting us to join him on an «erotic journey of digital visions.» He has put down his Leica, and taken up digital technology. His work transcends the barriers and limitations of analogue photography and focuses on aesthetics, graphics, and eroticism. Dahmane’s fondness for architecture and the female nude, combined with the possibilities of Photoshop, enable naked or half-naked models to appear in a variety of striking cityscapes. Dahmane has broken free from the myriad limitations of nude outdoor photography, and given his imagination and perfectionism completely free reign. He creates pictures that make an absolutely realistic, if somewhat surreal, impression, but this is deceptive. We see scantily clad models lying in snow, surrounded by hoards of crocodiles, posing in an ordinary corselet in the streets of Warsaw or Los Angeles, or completely naked in Dubrovnik Cathedral. Dahmane’s work is full of surprises and casts a spell. We invite you to accompany him on his erotic journey.»

Nadirs	Marston Book Services
Автор: Muller Herta Издательство: Marston Book Services, 1999	PDF, 134 страницы, 4.02 МБ 0 Оценка:
Juxtaposing reality and fantasy, nightmares and dark laughter, Nadirs is a collection of largely autobiographical stories based on Herta Muller's childhood in the Romanian countryside. The individual tales reveal a child s often nightmarish impressions of life in her village. Seamlessly mixing reality with dream-like images, they brilliantly convey the inner, troubled life of a child and at the same time capture the violence and corruption of life under an oppressive state. Herta Muller has been one of the most prolific and acclaimed German-language writers of the last decade. Born in 1953 in the Banat, a German-language region of Romania, she immigrated to West Berlin in 1987 and currently resides in Hamburg. She has received numerous literary awards, including the Kleist Prize. In 1998 her novel The Land of Green Plums was awarded the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

William and Catherine: Their Romance and Royal Wedding in Photographs	Marston Book Services
Автор: Cohen David Elliot Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2011	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
Perhaps because we have no royalty, Americans especially are fascinated by the pageantry and fairy-tale romance of British weddings. Few events capture the world's heart and imagination like a British royal wedding. In 1981, we were enchanted as Prince Charles wed lovely Lady Di, generating worldwide attention and massive sales of wedding-related products. As the young managing editor of a photo-news agency, Cohen directed a team of five photojournalists who covered the wedding for several major news magazines. Through more than two hundred spectacular photographs (including 80 pages of their wedding alone), William & Catherine recounts the couple's wildly different childhoods, their romance and engagement, the events leading up to the wedding, and the grand affair itself--watched by over two billion worldwide. Here are the massive crowds lining the parade route, the sparkling celebrities at Westminster Abbey, the bride's spectacular gown, “The Kisses” on Buckingham Palace's balcony, and the worldwide celebrations. Also included is a brief pictorial history of British royal weddings from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840 to Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981. Including a brief history of British royal weddings, fascinating detailed captions, and a foreword by renowned royal watcher Robert Jobson, author of William & Kate, The Love Story and royal correspondent for four major British newspapers, this book magnificently illustrates the pomp, the pageantry, the history and enchantment of the romance that charmed the world.

Crisis in the Eurozone	Marston Book Services
Автор: Lapavitsas Costas Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2012	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
Building on his work as a leading member of the renowned Research on Money and Finance group, Costas Lapavitsas presents a searing critique of the neoliberal nature of the Eurozone and ruthlessly dissects the roots of the current financial turmoil and the European debt crisis. Lapavitsas argues that European austerity is contradictory because it leads to recession, and worsens the burden of debt, further imperilling banks and the monetary union itself. Controversially, Lapavitsas suggests that impoverished states would be wise to quit the Euro and pursue debtor-led, sovereign and democratic default that would lead to deep cancellation of debt. Lapavitsas envisages a restructuring relying on the forces of organized labor and civil society, drawing on the theoretical tradition of political economy and heterodox economics, and treading a careful path between declining Europeanism and nascent nationalism.

The Obama Syndrome	Marston Book Services
Автор: Ali Tariq Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2011	PDF, 156 страниц, 4.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
«Written in early 2010 and initially published in September, The Obama Syndrome predicted the Obama administration's historic midterm defeat. But unlike myriad commentators who have since pinned responsibility for that Democratic Party collapse on the «reform» president's lack of firm resolve, Ali's critique located the problem in Obama's notion of reform itself. Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency by promising to escalate the war in Afghanistan, and his economic team brought the architects of the financial crisis into the White House. Small wonder then that the «War on Terror» — torture in Bagram, occupation in Iraq, appeasement in Israel, and escalation in Pakistan — continues. And that Wall Street and the country's biggest corporations have all profited at the expense of America's working class and poor. Now a thoroughly updated paperback continues the story through the midterms, including a trenchant analysis of the Tea Party, and Obama's decision to continue with his predecessor's tax cuts for the rich. Ali asks whether — in the absence of a progressive upheaval from below — US politics is permanently mired in moderate Republicanism. Already called «a comprehensive account» of the problems with Obama (The Huffington Post), this new edition is sure to provide a more «powerful boost to Obama dissenters on the left».»

Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Story of Anonymous	Marston Book Services
Автор: Coleman Gabriella Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2014	PDF, 452 страницы, 13.56 МБ 5 Оценка:
Here is the definitive book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the name Anonymous, by the woman the Chronicle of Higher Education calls the leading interpreter of digital insurgency and the Huffington Post says knows all of Anonymous' deepest, darkest secrets. Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global collective just as some of its adherents were turning to political protest and disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that some Anons claimed her as their scholar, and the FBI asked her to inform on the movement (a request she refused). Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy brims with detail from inside a mysterious subculture, including chats with imprisoned hacker Jeremy Hammond and the hacker who helped put him away, Hector Sabu Monsegur. It's a beautifully written book, with fascinating insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, such as the histories of trolling and the lulz.

Handbook of Sociology and Human Rights	Marston Book Services
Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2013	PDF, 585 страниц, 17.55 МБ 0 Оценка:
Long the province of international law, human rights now enjoys a renaissance of studies and new perspectives from the social sciences.

It fosters an interdisciplinary, international, and critical engagement both in the social study of human rights and the establishment of a human rights approach throughout the field of sociology. Sociological perspectives bring new questions to the interdisciplinary study of human rights, as amply illustrated in this book. The Handbook is indispensable to any interdisciplinary collection on human rights or on sociology.

How I Stopped Being a Jew	Marston Book Services
Автор: Sand Shlomo Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2014	PDF, 102 страницы, 3.06 МБ 5 Оценка:
Shlomo Sand was born in 1946 in a displaced persons camp in Austria, to a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father; the family later migrated to Palestine. During his life, Sand came to question his Jewish identity, even that as a secular Jew. With this meditative and thoughtful mixture of essay and personal recollection, he articulates the problems at the centre of modern Jewish identity. How I Stopped Being a Jew discusses the negative effects of the Israeli exploitation of the 'chosen people' myth and its holocaust industry. Sand criticises the fact that, in the current context, what 'Jewish' means is, above all, not being Arab and reflects on the possibility of a secular, non-exclusive Israeli identity, beyond the legends of Zionism.

Explore Everything: Place-Hacking the City	Marston Book Services
Автор: Garrett Bradley Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2014	PDF, 287 страниц, 8.61 МБ 0 Оценка:
It is assumed that every inch of the world has been explored and charted; that there is nowhere new to go. But perhaps it is the everyday places around us — the cities we live in — that need to be rediscovered. What does it feel like to find the city's edge, to explore its forgotten tunnels and scale unfinished skyscrapers high above the metropolis? Explore Everything reclaims the city, recasting it as a place for endless adventure. Plotting expeditions from London, Paris, Berlin, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Bradley L. Garrett has evaded urban security in order to experience the city in ways beyond the boundaries of conventional life. He calls it 'place hacking' the recoding of closed, secret, hidden and forgotten urban space to make them realms of opportunity. Explore Everything is an account of the author's escapades with the London Consolidation Crew, an urban exploration collective. The book is also a manifesto, combining philosophy, politics and adventure, on our rights to the city and how to understand the twenty-first century metropolis.

Colours, Symbols, Worship: The Mission of the Byzantine Artist	Marston Book Services
Автор: Galavaris George Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2012	DjVu, 576 страниц, 23.04 МБ 0 Оценка:
Trained as an archaeologist and art historian and being a practising painter, Professor Galavaris has been able to relate diverse disciplines in his work, as shown by the wide range of his numerous publications. He moves from the early history of the eucharistic bread in the Orthodox Church, the dramatic impact of the Liturgy on illuminated Byzantine manuscripts, to the role of the icon in: the life of the Church, the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke and the European painting of the 20th century. He is a leading authority on the study of the relationship between worship, Liturgy and art. Whether it is the cult of the Byzantine Emperor or the Eucharistic Liturgy, manifested in numismatics, illuminated manuscripts, icons, church lights (candles and oil lamps) — all witnesses of the creative forces of the Byzantine artist — Galavaris' interests are symbols, forms and their meaning. He investigates their contribution to worship, to the visual shaping of the Liturgy and how they reveal the freedom and the mission of the artist in realizing the Unseen in everyday life. The 31 studies in the present volume, published over 40 years (5 of them appear in English for the first time) are brought together with an introduction, annotations and an index. The volume contributes essentially to our knowledge of the spirituality of the Eastern Church.

X-Ray Scattering from Semiconductors and Other Materials	Marston Book Services
Автор: Paul F. Fewster Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2015	PDF, 400 страниц, 12.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
This third edition has been extended considerably to incorporate more information on instrument influences on the interpretation of X-ray scattering profiles and reciprocal space maps. Another significant inclusion is on the scattering from powder samples, covering a new theoretical approach that explains features that conventional theory cannot. The new edition includes some of the latest methodologies and theoretical treatments, including the latest thinking on dynamical theory and diffuse scattering. Recent advances in detectors also present new opportunities for rapid data collection and some very different approaches in data collection techniques; the possibilities associated with these advances will be included. This edition should be of interest to those who use X-ray scattering to understand more about their samples, so that they can make a better judgment of the parameter and confidence levels in their analyses, and how the combination of instrument, sample and detection should be considered as a whole to ensure this.

Gold Catalysis: An Homogeneous Approach	Marston Book Services
Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2014	PDF, 550 страниц, 16.50 МБ 8 Оценка:
Research on designing new catalytic systems has been one of the most important fields in modern organic chemistry, and one reason for this is the predominant contribution of catalysis to the concepts of atom economy and green chemistry in the 21st century. Gold, considered catalytically inactive for a long time, is now a fascinating partner of modern chemistry, as scientists such as Bond, Haruta, Hutchings, Ito and Hayashi opened new perspectives for the whole synthetic chemist community. This book presents the major advances in homogeneous catalysis, emphasizing the methodologies that create carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, the applications that create diversity and synthesize natural products, and the recent advances and challenges in asymmetric catalysis and computational research. The Handbook of Homogeneous Gold Catalysis provides readers with in-depth information about gold-catalyzed reactions and presents several explanations for the scientific design of a catalyst. Readers will be able to understand the entire gold area and find solutions to problems in catalysis. Featuring prominent authors, who are experts in their respective fields, this is the first book dedicated to homogeneous gold chemistry.

This groundbreaking reconstruction of Goya's so-called 'Witches and Old Women' album will offer rich insights into the artist's concerns and preoccupations and will immeasurably deepen our understanding of the artist. With its themes of witchcraft, madness and nightmares, the predominant imagery of the album offers a particularly important perspective on the development of Goya's interest in old age and its relationship to the fantastic and diabolical.

John Ruskin: Artist and Observer	Marston Book Services
Автор: Shields Conal Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2014	PDF, 376 страниц, 11.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
The drawings of John Ruskin are exhilarating to look at, any they express his own sense of exhilaration as he observed landscape and nature, buildings and artifacts. They deserve to be appreciated afresh by a wider audience. Accompanying a landmark exhibition at the National Galleries of Canada and Scotland in 2014, this exploration of Ruskin's watercolors and drawings — representing his entire career and all subject types and degrees of finish and elaboration — demonstrated how his characteristic drawing style evolved and how he achieved his highly distinctive technical virtuosity. In more than 130 superb examples, reproduced with great delicacy, this book tells how he regarded drawing as a means of focusing his eye and as a discipline of observation, but attached small significance to the drawing itself when completed. Today the drawings will be celebrated for their immediacy and verve, for their absence of self-consciousness or any kind of artistic indulgence. Drawing was used by Ruskin to express the ecstasy he felt in the presence of transcendent beauty in nature and landscape, as well as in the works of man, and was an essential means of emotional release. On other occasions, and especially during phases of mental fragility, he drew in order to establish certainties about the physical world upon which he might rely. Ruskin's drawings are clues to his emotional state, and may be interpreted in psychological terms: the authors reveal them here as profoundly informative about the devastating swings of mood that Ruskin endured and which fired his massive intellectual creativity as well as his eventual descent into insanity. In examining alongside the central core of Ruskin's own drawings those made by artist who were his mentors, friends and followers, this book also aims to give an account of the wider phenomenon which might be called Ruskinism. It demonstrates how Ruskin's own style formed as a result of contact with an older generation of drawing masters, such as Samuel Prout and J.D. Harding. Ruskin's paramount admiration for J.M.W. Turner, and the story of his advocacy of Turner as the greatest genius of British art, is explained by the consideration of a carefully selected group of Tuner drawings and watercolors. Ruskin's involvement with the contemporary conduct of art in the 1850's, and particularly his support for Pre-Raphaelitism as applied to landscape, is also explored. A fascinating and visually rich element of the book will be photographs, including those taken by Ruskin himself or under his immediate supervision and others that reveal his influence. By showing photographs and drawings together it will be possible to identify and define certain pictorial traits which may be regarded as characteristic Ruskinian methods of looking.

The Age of Globalization: Anarchists and the Anticolonial Imagination	Marston Book Services
Автор: Anderson Benedict Издательство: Marston Book Services, 2013	PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
History is forged through the travel of ideas across continents — as well as by bombs. The Age of Globalization is an account of the unlikely connections that made up late nineteenth-century politics and culture, and in particular between militant anarchists in Europe and the Americas, and anti-imperialist uprisings in Cuba, China and Japan. Told through the complex intellectual interactions of two great Filipino writers — the political novelist Jose Rizal and the pioneering folklorist Isabelo de los Reyes — The Age of Globalization is a brilliantly original work on how global exchanges shaped the nationalist movements of the time.
