A"New York Times"Bestseller, andthe inspiration for the hit Broadway musical"Hamilton"
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow presents a landmark biography of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who galvanized, inspired, scandalized, and shaped the newborn nation.
In the first full-length biography of Alexander Hamilton in decades, Ron Chernow tells the riveting story of a man who overcame all odds to shape, inspire, and scandalize the newborn America. According to historian Joseph Ellis, "Alexander Hamilton"is a robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all.
Few figures in American history have been more hotly debated or more grossly misunderstood than Alexander Hamilton. Chernow s biography gives Hamilton his due and sets the record straight, deftly illustrating that the political and economic greatness of today s America is the result of Hamilton s countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. To repudiate his legacy, Chernow writes, is, in many ways, to repudiate the modern world. Chernow here recounts Hamilton s turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington s aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.Historians have long told the story of America s birth as the triumph of Jefferson s democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power. His is a Hamilton far more human than we ve encountered before from his shame about his birth to his fiery aspirations, from his intimate relationships with childhood friends to his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and Burr, and from his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza. And never before has there been a more vivid account of Hamilton s famous and mysterious death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July of 1804.
Chernow s biography is not just a portrait of Hamilton, but the story of America s birth seen through its most central figure. At a critical time to look back to our roots, "Alexander Hamilton"will remind readers of the purpose of our institutions and our heritage as Americans.
Nobody has captured Hamilton better than Chernow "The New York Times Book Review"

Описание:

The death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC threw the Macedonians into confusion; there was no capable heir, and no clear successor among the senior figures in Alexander's circle. Initial attempts to preserve the unity of Alexander's conquests gave way to a period of bloody and prolonged warfare (322-275 BC), and the break-up of this glittering but momentary empire.

Macedonia, the heartland of Alexander's dominions, was ruled first by the heirs of Antipater, Alexander's regent, and then by the descendents of Alexander's general Antigonus I Monophthalmus ('the One-Eyed'). For well over a century the largely mercenary armies of Alexander's successors imposed their influence in matters of military costume, kit, doctrine and tactics over the whole of the Near East, while absorbing local military practices.

After Rome's decisive defeat of Carthage in 202 BC and the subsequent Roman dominance over the Western Mediterranean, Macedonia came under increasing pressure from the Romans. Three wars between the two powers culminated in the Roman victory at Pydna in 168 BC, which marked the final destruction of Alexander's empire and established Roman authority over the Near East.

Drawing upon a wide array of archaeological and written sources and written by a noted authority on the Hellenistic period, this survey of the organisation, battle history and appearance of the armies of Alexander's successors is lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned full-colour artwork. It is an essential resource for all those interested in the development of warfare in the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East in the turbulent centuries following the death of Alexander.

Описание: Alexander McQueen: Fashion Visionary is a testament to McQueen's incomparable talent and a comprehensive archive of his life's work, from his graduate collection at Central Saint Martins to his final designs created just days before his untimely death in February 2010. Fearlessly and intensively creative, romantic and defiant, traditional yet radical, and darkly beautiful, Alexander McQueen's vision was to create a silhouette that would define the twenty-first century. His gothic sensibility and dramatic runway shows took the fashion world's breath away. Alexander McQueen: Fashion Visionary charts the designer's rise to fashion royalty – from his apprenticeship as a tailor on London's illustrious Savile Row, to a career of demolishing the rules he had so diligently learned, while retaining a foundation of craftsmanship, heritage and historical narrative. The fashion world's greatest upsetter was adored by the elite as much as his style was emulated on the street. Ten years after tragedy cut short an illustrious career, this book reveals the complex narratives and fascination with nature that inspired a brilliant yet dark mind, and visually documents the exquisite and electrifying creations that are his legac

Описание: This book provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, the basic grounding of physics. It demonstrates that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics, historically (and separately) formulated upon an experimental basis, can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium. It uses mathematical tools to endow formerly abstract entities, such as quantum wave-function and classical action function, with original and clear geometric images, strongly simplifying them.

The book comprises the author's lectures, manual texts, typical problems and tests, and many illustrations, and will be of interest to students of all levels majoring in mathematics, physics and advanced engineering programs.

This translation contains his prose fiction, including some tales which remained unfinished when Pushkin was tragically killed in a duel at the age of thirty-seven.
