Описание: There have been many thrilling and memorable sports rivalries. But none has ever combined such drama and excitement over such an extended period of time and against such a gripping background as the Cold War hockey rivalry between Canada and Russia (known at that time as the Soviet Union or USSR). For decades Canada had reigned unchallenged as the dominant country at the sport-and the pride that came with knowing that their beloved national game was one thing at which they were unquestionably the world's best was a major part of the self-image and esteem of nearly all Canadians. Until suddenly, an interloper appeared that was like no other competitor Canada had ever met. It was a far-off country that lacked advanced equipment and facilities, had only recently taken up the sport, and had even brazenly decided not (as other countries had done) to learn the game as mere pupils of the Canadian masters. Rather, largely through the genius of one remarkable leader, this newcomer would blaze its own trail, audaciously inventing an entirely new style of play, along with a unique approach to skills development and physical conditioning that led to a breathtakingly exciting and effective spectacle that even the game's creators had never conceived. Finally-and perhaps most significantly-this new competitor represented a political system that was openly hostile to the freedom and values taken for granted in the West, and openly proclaimed its superiority, predicting that it would one day spread throughout and dominate the world. Thus, to Canadians, overcoming this unexpected threat became not only a matter of national honor-but also a crusade for the Free World. This newcomer was Russia (the USSR)-and the seeming life-and-death struggle that ensued for four decades is an unbelievable tale that became the greatest sports drama ever known. Here is the never-before told full story of this historic confrontation told from both sides from the people who lived it, and from what was being reported as the events were happening.

Описание: Canadian film director David Cronenberg has long been a figure of artistic acclaim and public controversy. Bursting into view with a trio of shocking horror films in the 1970s, Cronenberg's work has become increasingly complex in its sensibilities and inward-looking in its concerns and themes. This trajectory culminates in the multiplex successes of his most recent films, which appear to conclude a straightforward evolutionary arc that begins in the cold outside of shock-horror and arrives in the warm embrace of commercial and critical success. Scott Wilson argues persuasively that Cronenberg's career can be divided into broad thematic stages and instead offers a complex examination of the relationship between three inter-related terms: the director as auteur; the industry that support or denies commercial opportunity; and the audience who receive, interpret and support (or decry) the vision represented on screen. The Politics of Insects provides an opportunity to explore Cronenberg's films in relation to each other in terms of their thematic continuity, and in terms of their relationship to industrial concerns and audience responses.

Torture represents a direct attack on the essence of human dignity. Its mere mention evokes a prolific and sordid history: Europe in the Middle Ages, with beds of nails, witch hunts, and burnings; the brutal methods used by military dictatorships against political dissidents in 1970s Latin America; and the gruesome photographs from Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and other Bush-era places of detention. While leaders in the West had once hoped that torture would disappear by the end of the twentieth century—and that our children would read about this unfathomable practice in history books and not in the daily papers—research indicates that torture is still routinely used in the majority of twenty-first-century nations. In his six years as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Manfred Nowak was tasked with reviewing thousands of complaints of torture and detention, investigating facts and circumstances surrounding the global practice of torture, and drawing up recommendations aimed at combating torture. Now, in Torture, readers can get a firsthand glimpse of how modern-day torture is investigated and understood by those working on the frontlines of researching, addressing, and preventing it. Nowak recounts his experience visiting countries, reviewing documents, collecting evidence, and conducting interviews with perpetrators, witnesses, and victims of torture. He offers vignettes of the many states he visited, comparing their diverse experiences, and he explores the rise of new twenty-first-century practices of torture, questioning whether capital punishment, corporal punishment, solitary confinement, and contemporary forms of slavery qualify as torture. Ultimately, Torture offers vital insights for human-rights scholars and professionals as it tries to make the unfathomable more comprehensible and to clarify the causes and dynamics of torture.

Название: A Most Opulent Iliad: Expansion, Confrontation and Cooperation on the Southern Moroccan Frontier (1505-1542) ISBN: 0615600565 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780615600567 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 28730.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A Most Opulent Iliad explores a tale familiar to the modern reader: The meeting of cultures under the strain of invasion and occupation. Dr. Racine's book focuses on two main themes: The strategies and tools used by Portuguese occupation forces seeking to assert their control in Morocco (and how Moroccans resisted them) and how men and women from the various cultures and levels of society negotiated their political, economic, and personal relationships within the instability created by the Portuguese invasion. As to the military and political aspects, this book chronicles the initial success of the Portuguese using overwhelming force, their occupation of Azamor and Safi and construction of Mazagao (modern El Jadida), their subsequent attempts at expansion through alliances and treaties, and their ultimate failure as the Sa adid empire coalesced into a force too strong for the Portuguese to resist. Beyond the politics and battles of the time, A Most Opulent Iliad illuminates the daily lives of the Portuguese and Moroccans who lived and worked with each other in the fortresses and territory controlled by the Portuguese. Specifically, this book looks at commercial and personal interactions, the ways members of various groups were treated, and the complex way in which local Moroccan Muslim tribal and village leaders interacted with their Portuguese overlords. The book contains detailed studies of how members of various levels of social strata interacted with each other, how Jews gained prominence as interpreters, hostage negotiators, and providers of essential supplies, how Moroccans -- both Berbers and Arabs -- succeeded or failed in their political and economic alliances with the Portuguese, how elite women served as political leaders and non-elite women worked, lived, and died in Portuguese fortresses. A Most Opulent Iliad contains detailed case studies of political negotiation and alliance between the Portuguese and influential Moroccan tribes, extensive discussion of how the Portuguese fortresses were able to keep supplied with food, and how construction of fortresses and the buildings within them was financed. The book also contains an analysis of the use of violence in the region, including how hostages were used as collateral for treaties and the symbolic and economic currency attached to Moroccan and Portuguese captives. By examining both underutilized printed documents and extensive archival sources, A Most Opulent Iliad demonstrates that what is known about the political relations between Portuguese kings and Moroccan sultans tells very little of the story of the politics and people during this brief but initially highly-effective colonial occupation. This book fills a large gap in the history of Portugal and the history of Morocco.
