The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of the power of science and technology. Within that story is the incredible tale of the human conflict between three men-Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller-the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons of mass destruction. How did science, enlisted in the service of the state during the Second World War, become a slave to its patron during the Cold War-and scientists with it? The story of these three men, is fundamentally about loyalty-to the country, to science, and to each other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made when these allegiances came into conflict.
Gregg Herken gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade of research, interviews, and new documents. Brotherhood of the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time.
Название: Juergen Teller and Nicolas Ghesquière: Season Three ISBN: 3958290876 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783958290877 Издательство: Thames & Hudson Цена: 27590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This, the third book in the celebrated series by renowned German fashion photographer Juergen Teller (born 1964) and Nicolas Ghesqui re (born 1971), artistic director of Louis Vuitton, proves that their audacious collaboration is as alive as ever. Perhaps more explicitly than its predecessors, I Just Arrived in Paris (2014) and The Flow (2015), Juergen Teller and Nicolas Ghesqui re: Season Three tells the story of a fashion collection as it evolves through photography--in this case, Ghesqui re's creations for Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2015/16. Divided into named chapters, the book shows the changing guise of the collection as Teller photographs it for different purposes and in individual moods: be it press-kit photos, streetscapes and still-lifes, candid bathroom scenes, backstage and runway shots, a fashion editorial for AnOther Magazine or the advertising campaign. As ever with Teller, his photos reveal an irreverent, sometimes brazen take on the world of luxury, and rethink the line between fashion and life. This monograph and unique collaboration between fashion and photography is a true collectible for all those interested in fashion photography.
This season sees the release of the newest book in Juergen Teller's (born 1964) original and beloved Masters series. Teller made his first Master in 2005 as an homage to everything he believes is a master or masterful--be it a chef like Fergus Henderson, an artist like David Hamilton, his own grandmother, Kurt Cobain, or a landscape--as well as a tongue-in-cheek recognition of himself as a master of his own photographic identity. The concept was simple: to produce an ongoing series of humble books, each at the same small size, with no text and as little design as possible--an antithesis to the standard coffee-table book. Like past volumes in the series, The Master IV features an unpredictable mix of Teller's eclectic photography. These books are dedicated to four of Teller's most important masters who have influenced both his work and outlook on life--Nobuyoshi Araki, William Eggleston, Boris Mikhailov and Charlotte Rampling--and feature new portraits of them.

It has often been claimed that Jews have a penchant for capitalism and capitalist economic activity. With this book, Adam Teller challenges that assumption. Examining how Jews achieved their extraordinary success within the late feudal economy of the eighteenth-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, he shows that economic success did not necessarily come through any innate entrepreneurial skills, but through identifying and exploiting economic niches in the pre-modern economy—in particular, the monopoly on the sale of grain alcohol.
Jewish economic activity was a key factor in the development of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and it greatly enhanced the incomes, and thereby the social and political status, of the noble magnates, including the powerful Radziwi?? family. In turn, with the magnate's backing, Jews were able to leverage their own economic success into high status in estate society. Over time, relations within Jewish society began to change, putting less value on learning and pedigree and more on wealth and connections with the estate owners.
This groundbreaking book exemplifies how the study of Jewish economic history can shed light on a crucial mechanism of Jewish social integration. In the Polish-Lithuanian setting, Jews were simultaneously a despised religious minority and key economic players, with a consequent standing that few could afford to ignore.
