In these meditations, he reveals his own doubts and his own searching. |

Название: How About Never Is Never Good for You?: My Life in Cartoons Автор: Bob Mankoff Издательство: Henry Holt and Co. Год: 2014 Формат: EPUB Размер: 35 Мб Язык: английский / English
The New York Times bestselling memoir in cartoons by the longtime cartoon editor of The New Yorker. People tell Bob Mankoff that as the cartoon editor of The New Yorker he has the best job in the world. Never one to beat around the bush, he explains to us, in the opening of this singular, delightfully eccentric book, that because he is also a cartoonist at the magazine he actually has two of the best jobs in the world. With the help of myriad images and his funniest, most beloved cartoons, he traces his love of the craft all the way back to his childhood, when he started doing funny drawings at the age of eight. After meeting his mother, we follow his unlikely stints as a high-school basketball star, draft dodger, and sociology grad student. |

Название: Далекая близкая война: Как россияне воспринимают военные действия в Украине (февраль-июнь 2022) Автор: Ерпылева С., Савельева Н. (ред. Издательство: Лаборатория публичной социологии Год: 2022 Формат: pdf, djvu Страниц: 301 Размер: 23 mb Язык: Русский
Опросы редко помогают понять особенности восприятия россиянами войны. Например, одни россияне отвечают на вопросы о поддержке «специальной военной операции» на территории Украины утвердительно, а другие — отрицательно. Но что именно поддерживают первые и что не нравится вторым? Более того, скорее всего лишь незначительная часть россиян имеет однозначное мнение по поводу «спецоперации», в то время как позицию большей части людей невозможно описать простыми формулами «за» или «против». |
