Название: Информационная война и геополитика
Автор: Панарин Игорь
Издательство: М.: Поколение
Год: 2006
Cтраниц: 560
Формат: pdf
Размер: 12 мб
Язык: русский

В книге И. Н. Панарина тысячелетия отечественной и всемирной истории рассматриваются с точки зрения мировой геополитики. Согласно глубокому убеждению автора, успех геополитических планов издавна был связан с победой в информационной войне. До недавних пор верх в этой войне одерживали силы, враждебные нашему государству, однако события последних лет показывают, что в самое ближайшее время американо-британскую "империю" ожидает крах.

Название: Rising in Flames: Sherman's March and the Fight for a New Nation
Автор: J. D. Dickey
Издательство: Pegasus Books
Год: 2018
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 40 Мб
Язык: английский / English

A New York Times bestselling historian sheds new light on Sherman’s epic “March to the Sea,” especially the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and civilians who would change the nation for the better. America in the antebellum years was a deeply troubled country, divided by partisan gridlock and ideological warfare, angry voices in the streets and the statehouses, furious clashes over race and immigration, and a growing chasm between immense wealth and desperate poverty. The Civil War that followed brought America to the brink of self-destruction. But it also created a new country from the ruins of the old one—bolder and stronger than ever. No event in the war was more destructive, or more important, than William Sherman’s legendary march through Georgia—crippling the heart of the South’s economy, freeing thousands of slaves, and marking the beginning of a new era.

Название: Arresting Dress: Cross-Dressing, Law, and Fascination in Nineteenth-Century San Francisco
Автор: Clare Sears
Издательство: Duke University Press
Год: 2015
Формат: PDF
Размер: 28 Мб
Язык: английский / English

In 1863, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed a law that criminalized appearing in public in “a dress not belonging to his or her sex.” Adopted as part of a broader anti-indecency campaign, the cross-dressing law became a flexible tool for policing multiple gender transgressions, facilitating over one hundred arrests before the century’s end. Over forty U.S. cities passed similar laws during this time, yet little is known about their emergence, operations, or effects. Grounded in a wealth of archival material, Arresting Dress traces the career of anti-cross-dressing laws from municipal courtrooms and codebooks to newspaper scandals, vaudevillian theater, freak-show performances, and commercial “slumming tours.” It shows that the law did not simply police normative gender but actively produced it by creating new definitions of gender normality and abnormality. It also tells the story of the tenacity of those who defied the law, spoke out when sentenced, and articulated different gender possibilities.

Название: Germany in the World: A Global History, 1500-2000
Автор: David Blackbourn
Издательство: Liveright
Год: 2023
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 28 Мб
Язык: английский / English

Brilliantly conceived and majestically written, this monumental work of European history recasts the five-hundred-year history of Germany. With Germany in the World, award-winning historian David Blackbourn radically revises conventional narratives of German history, demonstrating the existence of a distinctly German presence in the world centuries before its unification—and revealing a national identity far more complicated than previously imagined. Blackbourn traces Germany's evolution from the loosely bound Holy Roman Empire of 1500 to a sprawling colonial power to a twenty-first-century beacon of democracy. Viewed through a global lens, familiar landmarks of German history—the Reformation, the Revolution of 1848, the Nazi regime—are transformed, while others are unearthed and explored, as Blackbourn reveals Germany's leading role in creating modern universities and its sinister involvement in slave-trade economies. A global history for a global age, Germany in the World is a bold and original account that upends the idea that a nation's history should be written as though it took place entirely within that nation's borders.

Название: Spies: The Epic Intelligence War Between East and West
Автор: Calder Walton
Издательство: Simon & Schuster
Год: 2023
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 11 Мб
Язык: английский / English

The riveting, secret story of the hundred-year intelligence war between Russia and the West with lessons for our new superpower conflict with China. Spies is the history of the secret war that Russia and the West have been waging for a century. Espionage, sabotage, and subversion were the Kremlin’s means to equalize the imbalance of resources between the East and West before, during, and after the Cold War. There was nothing “unprecedented” about Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. It was simply business as usual, new means used for old ends.

Название: The Ghost Forest: Racists, Radicals, and Real Estate in the California Redwoods
Автор: Greg King
Издательство: PublicAffairs
Год: 2023
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 45 Мб
Язык: английский / English

The definitive story of the California redwoods, their discovery and their exploitation, as told by an activist who fought to protect their existence against those determined to cut them down. Every year millions of tourists from around the world visit California’s famous redwoods. Yet few who strain their necks to glimpse the tops of the world’s tallest trees understand how unlikely it is that these last isolated groves of giant trees still stand at all. In this gripping historical memoir, journalist and famed redwood activist Greg King examines how investors and a growing U.S. economy drove the timber industry to cut down all but 4 percent of the original two-million-acre redwood ecosystem. King first examined redwood logging in the 1980s—as an award-winning reporter. What he found in the woods convinced him to leap the line of neutrality and become an activist dedicated to saving the very last ancient redwood groves remaining in private hands.

Название: Graveyard of the Pacific: Shipwreck and Survival on America’s Deadliest Waterway
Автор: Randall Sullivan
Издательство: Atlantic Monthly Press
Год: 2023
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 26 Мб
Язык: английский / English

A vivid portrait of the Columbia River Bar that combines maritime history, adventure journalism, and memoir, bringing alive the history—and present– of one of the most notorious stretches of water in the world. Off the coast of Oregon, the Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean and forms the Columbia River Bar: a watery collision so turbulent and deadly that it’s nicknamed the Graveyard of the Pacific. Two thousand ships have been wrecked on the bar since the first European ship dared to try to cross it in the late 18thcentury. For decades ships continued to make the bar crossing with great peril, first with native guides and later with opportunistic newcomers, as Europeans settled in Washington and Oregon, displacing the natives and transforming the river into the hub of a booming region. Since then, the commercial importance of the Columbia River has only grown, and despite the construction of jetties on either side, the bar remains treacherous, even today a site of shipwrecks and dramatic rescues as well as power struggles between small fishermen, powerful shipowners, local communities in Washington and Oregon, the Coast Guard, and the Columbia River Bar Pilots – a small group of highly skilled navigators who help guide ships through the mouth of the Columbia.

Название: Elephant Trails: A History of Animals and Cultures
Автор: Nigel Rothfels
Издательство: Johns Hopkins University Press
Год: 2021
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 16 Мб
Язык: английский / English

Why have elephants―and our preconceptions about them―been central to so much of human thought? From prehistoric cave drawings in Europe and ancient rock art in Africa and India to burning pyres of confiscated tusks, our thoughts about elephants tell a story of human history. In Elephant Trails, Nigel Rothfels argues that, over millennia, we have made elephants into both monsters and miracles as ways to understand them but also as ways to understand ourselves. Drawing on a broad range of sources, including municipal documents, zoo records, museum collections, and encounters with people who have lived with elephants, Rothfels seeks out the origins of our contemporary ideas about an animal that has been central to so much of human thought.
