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.

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.

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.

Описание: The new edition of an American masterpiece, this is the harrowing story of Ursa Corregidora, a blues singer in the early 20th century forced to confront the inherited trauma of slavery. A literary classic that remains vital to our understanding of the past, Corregidora is Gayl Jones' s powerful debut novel, examining womanhood, sexuality, and the psychological residue of slavery. Jones masterfully tells the story of Ursa, a Kentucky blues singer, who, in the wake of a tragic loss, confronts her maternal history and the legacy of Corregidora, the Portuguese slave master who fathered both her mother and grandmother. Consumed and haunted by her hatred of the man who irrevocably shaped her life and the lives of her family, Ursa Corregidora must come to terms with a past that is never too distant from the present. Selected and first edited by Toni Morrison, it is ' the most brutally honest and painful revelation of what has occurred, and is occurring, in the souls of Black men and women, ' (James Baldwin) and ' a tale as American as Mount Rushmore and as murky as the Florida swamps.' (Maya Angelou).
