About this product
Art. : 155-283
The book by the famous American scientist Paul Kennedy examines the history of continuous shifts of world centers of power over the past five hundred years — from the era of the emergence of large monarchies in Europe and the beginnings of colonial empires to the beginning of the XXI century. Emphasizing the interconnection of economics, scientific and technical innovations and the ability of public policy to effectively use its resources in peacetime and in a state of war, the author deduces patterns that allow a particular state at a certain point in history to gain leadership on the world stage, which, as a result of a violation of the balance between military and economic potential, easily passes to a new world power. The book was first published in 1987, and the last chapter in it sounded like a forecast regarding the possible balance of power in the world by the beginning of the XXI century. Now, 30 years later, it acquires special value, allowing the reader to compare the theory of Professor P. Kennedy of Yale University with real facts and draw their own further conclusions. Despite the abundance of factual information and statistical data, the book is written vividly and fascinatingly and is intended for a wide range of readers.

But we did not limit ourselves to technical innovations. Separate chapters are devoted to such humanitarian and social technologies as the Stanislavsky system, psychoanalysis or marketing, which have had and continue to have a tangible impact on our lives.

  Leather-bound books "The History of the Jews. From ancient times to the present" (12 volumes in 5 books) Leather-bound books "The History of the Jews. From ancient times to the present" (12 volumes in 5 books) "The History of the Jews from ancient Times to the present" (1853-75) is the main work of Heinrich Graetz, the first systematic presentation of the history of the Jews as a chronicle of the spiritual life of the people. Gretz begins the chronicle of the Jewish people with the conquest of Canaan by Joshua. Gretz accepted the biblical sources as historically reliable, and in describing the historical events of the Second Temple period, he used the works of Josephus and critical interpretations of Talmudic and New Testament texts. "The History of the Jews" was a huge scientific achievement. To create his work, Gretz for the first time attracted an extensive range of printed sources in different languages, including the latest works on universal history. Combining the method of historical and philological analysis and scientific intuition, Gretz highlighted a number of important historical events in the life of the Jewish people. Gretz wrote vividly and fascinatingly, often departing from a strictly scientific style of presentation, although he sometimes went into rhetoric.

And, although the competitions in the arena of ancient stadiums were more violent than in our days, their goal was not the death of the participants, but the beauty and entertainment of the fights. The proposed publication is the first attempt at serious research on this topic. The book examines the history of gladiator fights, their types, issues of organizing competitions and training "ancient athletes", types of weapons. This publication is intended for both specialists and a wide range of readers. The book is illustrated with photographs of ancient exhibits from the most famous museums.

  The leather-bound book "Democracy in America" by A. Tocqueville The leather-bound book "Democracy in America" by A. Tocqueville Churchill argued: "Democracy is a disgusting form of government, but humanity has not yet come up with anything better." Discussions about the ideal political system have been going on for centuries. Contemporaries spoke with delight about the fundamental work "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville, who was compared to Montesquieu. An aristocrat by birth, Tocqueville recognizes that the future belongs to the pursuit of equality. During a trip to the United States, the author was able to prove that personal freedom and private property can successfully coexist with democracy. Tocqueville's vivid picture of modern America, in-depth analysis of the principles of the existence of a democratic state and his incredible insight make him read the treatise as a fascinating novel. The publication is illustrated with advertising materials and clippings from American newspapers of the first half of the XIX century.

The grotesqueness of Arkady Averchenko, the witty observations of Nadezhda Taffy, the black humor of Joseph Orsher and the subtle irony of Osip Dymov create an original style of unparalleled literary hoax. Its authors set the direction for the transformation of humor, which would later manifest itself in the works of M. Bulgakov, M. Zoshchenko, I.Ilf. Despite its century-old age, the literary hoax of the "Satyricon" has not lost its relevance to this day and is recommended to anyone who loves history and is ready to look at the events of the past through the prism of humor.
