Переводчик: Михаил Звонарев Начав с изучения давно утративших смысл франкмасонских церемониалов, исследователи истории масонства Кристофер Найт и Роберт Ломас, авторы озщуы мирового бестселлера "Второй мессия", провели уникальное по своим масштабам историческое расследование После кропотливых поисков они сумели установить личность человека, которого потомки со временем начали называть Хирамом Абифом, легендарным архитектором Иерусалимского Храма и основоположником Братства вольных каменщиков Основываясь на исторических документах и вещественных свидетельствах, дошедших до нашего времени, создатели этой книги утверждают: миф об убийстве архитектора Хирама основан на вполне реальных зловещих событиях, которые произошли несколько тысяч лет назад и оставили след в масонских ритуалах Проследив тянущуюся через века сакральную традицию, Найт и Ломас определили, что истинное учение Иисуса Христа, основанное на тайнах Хирама, было искажено во времена раннего христианства, но вновь вернулось в мир после первых Крестовых походов вместе с рыцарями Храма, вызвав к жизни целый ряд ересей и тайных обществ Авторы уверены, что религиозный геополитический триллер, веками разворачивавшийся в Старом и Новом Свете, не утратил динамизма и в наши дни Авторы Кристофер Найт Christopher Knight Роберт Ломас Robert Lomas.  Серия: Тайны древних цивилизаций.

In 2006, a team led by the English economist Sir Nicholas Stern issued a striking report that analyzed the economic dimensions of global climate change and called for immediate collective action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions This seminal report poses the critical question of how much emissions should be reduced within specific timeframes озщфд To answer the challenge of finding a best-practices approach, Global Warming and the World Trading System looks at the economic aspects of GHG emissions and seeks a policy method to reduce them without adversely affecting global trade The book begins with a survey of relevant data--such as emissions reports per sector--and evaluates current US climate policy options, focusing on the intricacies of specific Congressional bills In this vein, this study examines whether the competitiveness provisions now under consideration are compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and explores the pragmatic opportunities the WTO should capitalize on in order to accomplish two goals simultaneously: (1) Ensure policy space for countries to limit national GHG emissions without sacrificing the competitive position of their own industries (2) Preserve an open trading system relatively free of discrimination and opportunistic protectionist measures Should governments use trade measures to encourage other countries to cooperate in the adoption of environmental policies? The authors anticipate the potential negative environmental and economic outcomes as well as the disputes over violation of GATT articles This book addresses how to avoid serious setbacks in an effort to reduce emissions without compromising the status of both domestic and international carbon-intensive industries Most importantly, the book considers what can be done by environmental organizations to head off conflict with the WTO.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 166 стр ISBN 0881324280.

When it was announced in late 2000 that Jeff Immelt would be taking the helm of GE, some skeptics were quick to voice their reservations about the future of the company after Jack Welch Not only were Welch's shoes particularly large ones to fill, but the economy was dallying with recession, China and India were taking their first giant steps into the озщфт global economy, and just four days into Immelt's tenure came the biggest game changer of all: 9/11 The hand-wringing, it turned out, was all for nought During Immelt's first seven years on the job, GE's revenues increased by more than 60%, its profits doubled, and the company solidified its status as the world leader in technological innovation Written with the full cooperation of Immelt and GE senior executives, Jeff Immelt and the New GE Way tells the amazing story of how Immelt defied the skeptics and successfully reengineered one of the world's oldest and largest global conglomerates to meet the challenges of the 21st century It offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn how it's done from a master, detailing the trendsetting innovations Immelt pioneered that have made his vision a reality, including: Mandating non-stop, company-wide innovation Making customers partners in growth through Customer Dreaming Sessions Developing region-specific products and services Partnering with the most promising new-technology upstarts Going green with a hugely successful Ecomagination initiative Fostering a non-stop learning environment The critics were right: Jeff Immelt is no Jack Welch Just as Welch embodied corporate leadership for the closing decades of the 20th century, Immelt has come to personify the 21st century CEO As Esquire magazine said when it named him one of The 75 Most Important People of the 21st Century: ?The day will come, when GE chairman and CEO, Jeff Immelt, will be viewed as the prototypical leader for the new century ?.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 272 стр ISBN 0071605878.

Amazon comIn 1930 a disaffected young photographer in New York pointed his camera at two workers shoving a huge sign reading DAMAGED into a truck With that image, Walker Evans gave birth to the quirky, edgy genre of street photography Yes, this is the same Walker Evans famous for eye-level photographs of Alabama sharecroppers, rural churches and озщцэ roadside signs The special appeal of Walker Evans is thatin addition to nearly 200 classic photographsit offers new images and fresh assessments of his work, based on diaries, letters, field notes and unpublished negatives acquired a decade ago by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York The engagingly written essays by four specialists all bump up against the contradictory impulses of this meticulous, aloof yet curiously passionate artist A self-described "gray man," he hated color photography Yet the photographs from his final years--he died in 1975--include strikingly offbeat Polaroids of the glum or startled faces of friends and acquaintances Four decades earlier, too inhibited to confront strangers directly, he hid a camera in his coat to capture the slack faces of subway riders Despite the unadorned power of his images of people, Evans had a deeper connection to vernacular architecture and roadside signs He photographed these everyday subjects straight on, at eye level, deliberately opting for the most deadpan approach Yet the images are imbued with Evans' unique sensitivity to subtle visual rhythms Influenced by Surrealism, he freely cropped photographs to shift the viewers perspective Despite his ardent scrutiny of the American scene in the 1930s, Evans stood apart from politics and disdained both sentimentality and social criticism His omnivorous appetite for the culture of his time was tempered by the sober documentary influence of nineteenth century photographers Eugène Atget and Matthew Brady For all its shrewd commentary, this beautifully produced book discusses Evans' life only insofar as it illuminates the story of the photographs More detailed accounts are available in biographies by James R Mellow and Belinda Rathbone --Cathy CurtisBook Description A tenant farmer's deprivation-lined face Antebellum homes that have seen better days The display windows of small-town main streets The early subway commuter Billboards The images made by photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975) are icons of national identity that have shaped Americans' views of themselves and directly influenced importantcurrents of modern art This major catalogue--published to accompany a retrospective exhibition originating at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and traveling to San Francisco and Houston--presents the full range of Evans's work, from his 1920s black-and-white street scenes of anonymous urban dwellers to the color photographs of signs and letter forms from his final years Soon after he returned from Paris to New York City in 1927, Evans began contributing to the development of American photography He captured the substance of people and buildings with a spare elegance that is utterly unpretentious His gaze is serious but often amused as well, direct yet never simple During the 1930s, Evans traveled throughout the South to chronicle the effects of economic hardship The time that he and writer James Agee spent with Alabama sharecropper families yielded an evocative, honest record of the Great Depression, which was published in book form as Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941) Evans then turned his lens back on New Yorkers, photographing subway riders with a camera hidden in his coat He continued to influence American self-perception as staff photographer for Fortune from 1945 until he accepted a professorship at Yale in 1965 Evans--who always chose art over what he criticized as artiness--wrote, in Photography (1969), "Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts This man is in effect a voyeur by nature; he is also reporter, tinkerer, and spy " Although his work has received many awards, been enshrined in the best museums, and been exhibited on several continents, Evans's total corpus is only now being fully examined This important book revises our appreciation of Evans by presenting previously unknown material in an accessible context Essays by Maria Morris Hambourg, Jeff L Rosenheim, Doug Eklund, and Mia Fineman offer novel insights into the sources and legacy of Evans's work The result is a superb exploration of what was achieved by one of our finest, mostly deeply American artists.  2004 г 332 стр ISBN 0691119651.

Photo Sex offers both an expanded vision of the nature of photography--that fine art photography legitimately includes the subject of unapologetic sex--and an expanded vision of the nature of sex--that sex involves more than sexual intercourse and its attendant foreplay, more than the pursuit of orgasm The premise is that each photo in the book озщшк is a sexual photograph in this sense This, of course, begs the question, "What is sex?" a question that each person will answer differently Photo Sex collectively offers the author/photographer's personal perspective on what is included in the sexual realm--a perspective which is fairly broad A wide audience for photography views sex in a more complex, subtle, and interesting way than commercial pornography can offer This broad audience includes women as well as men, and people of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations who are interested in exploring sex in depth, rather than reducing its complexity and wonder to cliches Photo Sex is inclusive in its choice of both subjects and subject matter, with images of middle-aged and older people as well as youth, of heavy people as well as thin, of people who represent a broad range of genders, ethnicities, sexual tastes, and sexual orientations The photos confirm that all sorts of "ordinary" people are both sexy and sexual Автор Дэвид Стейнберг David Steinberg.  Издательство: Down There Press, 2003 г Мягкая обложка, 128 стр ISBN 0940208326.

Amazon comA beer bottle that withstood the atom bomb blast in Nagasaki is the subject of Shomei Tomatsu's most famous photograph Mysterious and repulsive, the object looks like a deformed fetus In a career spanning more than 50 years, Tomatsu has created strikingly ambiguous images that hint at tensions simmering below the surface of Japanese озщшм life Shomei Tomatsu: Skin of the Nation is the first English-language survey of this brilliantly idiosyncratic photographer's work Grouped by theme, morethan 100 images contain subtle layers of meaning On a Tokyo street in 1962, an abandoned high-heeled shoe, a cigarette butt, and a crumpled piece of tinfoil (likely from a stick of American chewing gum) are bitter souvenirs of a night on the town A fewyears later, Tomatsu captured the sense of isolation that envelops both a lone protestor and a shadowy group of policemen In Okinawa, Tomatsu photographed both the U S military presence and the traditional way of life that persisted into the 1970s--glimpsed in the breeze-stirred motion of a curtain against a window or the sight of prowling dogs in the hazy morning sun Leo S Rubinfien's revelatory essay about the photographer and his work has a lyrical grace that approaches poetry Sandra S Phillips deftly summarizes the shift from American-influenced photojournalism of the immediate postwar era to the subjective approaches of a younger generation John W Dower adds further historical context, including the disquieting fact thatdue to U S censorshipphotographs of the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not published in Japan until 1952 Excerpts from Tomatsu's own vivid writings add another layer of insight The handsomely designed book accompanies a retrospective exhibition of Tomatsus work at the Japan Society Gallery in New York (through Jan 2, 2005), which will travel to Washington, D C , San Francisco and Winterthur, Switzerland --Cathy CurtisBook Description Japan’s brilliant and influential postwarphotographer Shomei Tomatsu (b 1930) has created some of the most dramatic images in the history of photography Many of his photographs have become icons of the twentieth century This important book is the first in-depth English-language study of Tomatsu’s work Richly illustrated and handsomely designed, it features more than one hundred plates representing—in ten thematic sections—the full range of his career Tomatsu emerged in the 1950s with his sensitive pictures of postwar Japan In the 1960s the artist turned his camera to the aftermath of the atomic bomb and the lingering presence of the U S military in his homeland In subsequent decades his lens has captured the elation of Japan’s economic boom and the problems inspired by his culture’s increasing westernization Throughout, Tomatsu’s pictures have consistently resonated not only with Japanese society but also with American culture Included in this book are essays by distinguished scholars on all aspects of the artist’s life and career as well as a selection of brief excerpts from Tomatsu’s own writings, many of which have never appeared in English Skin of the Nation (the book’s subtitle) is both a literal and metaphorical reference to the surfaces that have appeared in countless pictures throughout Tomatsu’s career For the artist, skin is more than just a surface, it is a kind of map in which one can read the story of Japan—its essence and its future.  2004 г 224 стр ISBN 0300106041.
