Taschen GmbH Helmut Newton SUMO
Tootekood: 21409899 GTIN: 9783836578196 Raamatud
The Helmut Newton SUMO was a titanic book that towered above anything previously attempted. Twenty years later, we celebrate the legacy of this publishing venture in an XL edition, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton and revised by his wife June. Gathering 464 images and a new booklet that takes us through the making of the SUMO, it’s a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life photographer.Helmut Newton (1920–2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it’s no surprise that the SUMO was an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the SUMO weighing in - boxed and shrink-wrapped - at 35.4 kg (just under 80 pounds), Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications.Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO sold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. It now features in numerous collections around the world, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The legendary copy number one, signed by more than 100 of the book’s featured celebrities, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century, sold at an auction in Berlin on April 6, 2000 for 620,000 German marks - about 317,000 euros.Now, this XL edition celebrates 20 years of SUMO, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton some years ago. Revised by his wife June, the volume gathers 464 images and a new booklet that takes us through the making-of this publishing venture - a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life Helmut Newton, now in a friendly format.Images © The Helmut Newton Estate / Maconochie Photography

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Climate Change on the Battlefield: International Military Responses to the Climate Crisis
GTIN: 9781350407657 Raamatud
"Climate Change on the Battlefield examines how climate change is reshaping modern military operations, and the role of international militaries in responding to the effects of the climate crisis. The book takes an international case study approach, looking at specific geographies such as Afghanistan and the Arctic, as well as types of military operations, including firefighting and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. The book also explores in detail how different countries from across every continent, and international institutions, are responding to these threats while also critically assessing their emissions and contributions to the climate crisis"-- Provided by publisher. What do rising temperatures and increasing extreme weather events mean for military readiness? How will climate hazards affect the conflicts of today and tomorrow? What new missions are militaries undertaking in response? Climate Change on the Battlefield examines how climate change is reshaping modern military operations, and the role of international militaries in responding to the effects of the climate crisis. The book's international case study approach will provide concrete answers to these questions, looking at specific geographies such as Afghanistan and the Arctic, as well as types of military operations, including firefighting, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. The book also explores in detail how different countries from across every continent, and international institutions, are responding to these threats while also critically assessing their own emissions and contributions to the climate crisis. Differing country responses are assessed, from those that are integrating climate change impacts into a more traditional understanding of military roles, to those countries that are redefining the role of the military in the face of climate change. Finally, it examines whether or not current military responses are commensurate with the risks ahead and what form the future relationship between the military and climate breakdown is likely to take.

Pen & Sword Books Ltd Byzantine Emperor Constantine V, 'the Dung-named': General, Patriarch, Iconoclast, Reformer
GTIN: 9781036114824 Raamatud
Brilliant general and reformer, Constantine V strengthened Byzantium but was reviled for his harsh iconoclasm.Constantine V, was the second East Roman (Byzantine) emperor of the Isaurian Dynasty. A masterful general, who halted the Arab Umayyad advance and went on the counter attack, he was loved by the fighting men of the East till well after his death. He was also an active ruler in other spheres, continuing the legal, social and governmental reforms of his father. His reign effectively strengthened the Empire, which was on the brink of collapse at the end of the Heraclian dynasty and he is generally regarded as one of the most capable men to rule from Constantinople. A ruthless persecutor and iconoclast, he was, however, reviled and maligned by the monastic historians of the church. His true brilliance and accomplishments would always be overshadowed by the name they bestowed upon him after his death: Copronymos (‘the dung-named’). He was compared to a summoner of demons, a magician or even a precursor to the Antichrist.Married three times to women who themselves are worthy of books, he was shrewd in his choice of wives and poltically savvy. As a shrewd ruler and administrator, and for his influence upon the theological debates of his day, he bears comparison with the much-better-known Justinian I, some 200 years before. However, unlike Justinian, his military leadership was more personal and he met his death on campaign in Bulgaria. Autorid: Leslie Ivings

Oxford University Press Inc China's Galaxy Empire: Wealth, Power, War, and Peace in the New Chinese Century
GTIN: 9780197629116 Raamatud
In China's Galaxy Empire, John Keane and Baogang He target a development of enormous significance: China's return, after two centuries of decline and subjugation, to a position of prominence in world affairs. The daring thesis is that China is a newly rising empire of a kind never before witnessed: a galaxy empire. The first to be born of the digital communications era, this young empire is economically and politically powerful, and heavily armed. Its gravitational, push-pull effects are impacting every continent--and even outer space, where China is competing with the United States, India, and Europe to become the leading power. The galaxy empire interpretation rejects clichéd misdescriptions of China as a "big power" or monolithic "autocracy", and it explains why China defies older definitions of land, sea, and air-based empires. The book charts the developments that have made its rising empire so novel, including the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative, the rapid rise of a global Chinese middle class, and internal colonialism in Tibet and Xinjiang. The book notes the protean, shapeshifting qualities of this young empire. It therefore warns against the political and military perils of simple-minded, friend-versus-enemy thinking and "Big China, Bad China" politics. But it also proffers a forewarning to China's rulers: while every rising empire aims to shift the balance of power in its favour, no empire lasts forever, and some are stillborn, because they indulge illusions of greatness and reckless power adventures.

Princeton University Press T. rex and the Crater of Doom Revised edition
GTIN: 9780691169668 Raamatud
Sixty-five million years ago, a comet or asteroid larger than Mount Everest slammed into the Earth, inducing an explosion equivalent to the detonation of a hundred million hydrogen bombs. Vaporized detritus blasted through the atmosphere upon impact, falling back to Earth around the globe. Disastrous environmental consequences ensued: a giant tsunami, continent-scale wildfires, darkness, and cold, followed by sweltering greenhouse heat. When conditions returned to normal, half the plant and animal genera on Earth had perished.This horrific chain of events is now widely accepted as the solution to a great scientific mystery: what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? Walter Alvarez, one of the Berkeley scientists who discovered evidence of the impact, tells the story behind the development of the initially controversial theory. It is a saga of high adventure in remote locations, of arduous data collection and intellectual struggle, of long periods of frustration ended by sudden breakthroughs, of friendships made and lost, and of the exhilaration of discovery that forever altered our understanding of Earth's geological history.

Park Books Seoul Urban Architecture: Rising from the Crushing Bowl
GTIN: 9783038604662 Raamatud
A history of the city of Seoul through the lens of architecture and urban life.Seoul Urban Architecture is a powerful and original study of Seoul’s urban and architectural evolution, told through the lens of an architect and educator who has lived and worked in the city for over four decades. In his book, which is part memoir, part cultural history, and part urban analysis, Sung Hong Kim traces how South Korea’s capital—once a walled city shaped by Confucian ideals—has become a sprawling, vertical metropolis marked by rapid modernization, deep structural contradictions, and a fierce, creative resilience. Organized into four parts, Kim surveys Seoul’s urban landscape from the late fourteenth century to the aftermath of the Korean War, illuminating the layers of occupation, destruction, and imposed planning that have shaped the city’s foundation. He guides the reader through periods of urban, legal, technological, and cultural constraints that eventually gave birth to new vitality, creativity, and innovation from an emerging generation of architects. His reflections on displacement, constraint, and ingenuity speak to a broader global condition faced by architects and urban designers alike: how to find meaning and agency within environments shaped by forces beyond their control. At once personal and panoramic, Seoul Urban Architecture offers a vital perspective on this city of paradoxes, where fragments of history coexist with radical new forms, and where the uneven fabric of urban life reveals the story of a nation that has risen, in several bursts, from the ruins of war and colonization to become a cultural and economic powerhouse.

Princeton University Press How to Be Stoic: An Ancient Guide to Keeping Calm
GTIN: 9780691244655 Raamatud
An inviting new translation of essential selections from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, one of the most popular and profound works of ancient StoicismHow do you keep calm when the world seems to be falling apart around you? When Marcus Aurelius was emperor, the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and prosperity, but it also suffered flood, famine, plague, and endless wars. He was frequently away from the capitol leading his legions in battle, and he died in an army camp. To cope with the enormous pressures he faced, Marcus turned to the philosophy of Stoicism, writing brief passages to reflect on its ideas and strategies for putting challenges in perspective. The result was the Meditations, a profound and moving work about the human condition. Elegant, spiritual, and by turns serious and humorous, this masterpiece of Stoicism still resonates powerfully today. How to Be Stoic offers a fresh, fluid, and engaging translation of its most stirring and important passages.Gretchen Reydams-Schils, a leading authority on Roman Stoicism, has carefully chosen and skillfully translated passages that exemplify the key themes of the Meditations, from everyday irritations such as encountering difficult people to existential worries such as the fear of death. How to Be Stoic also features a substantial and authoritative introduction and the original Greek text on facing pages. The result is perhaps the most accessible edition of the Meditations available. Autorid: Marcus Aurelius, Gretchen Reydams-Schils

Verso Control Science: How Management Made the Modern World
Tootekood: A63395903 GTIN: 9781804293201 Raamatud
Today, the ideas of modern economics seem as natural as the laws of gravity. That we are all private and self-interested individuals competing in the marketplace have become common sense. Yet this obscures the centuries long, contested history of the struggle between workers and capitalists for control of their work and of their lives. The ideas that rule our lives are not scientific truths that experts have discovered but political visions created by ideologues.In this sweeping work of history, Henry Snow traces the long arc of the "science of control" over the past four hundred. Moving from colonial America and the enclosure of common land in early modern England, via Josiah Wedgwood's Etruria and Jeremy and Samuel Bentham’s attempts to transform labor and governance in Russia and Britain, to the vast Amazon warehouses of today, Snow demonstrates how bosses have thought about control in the workplace and how those ideas have been both implemented and contested. Blending intellectual and economic history, Control Science is a thrilling and lucid work of history that will in denaturalising the economic ideas, show how they developed and who developed them, helping us to see the world anew.

Helion & Company Out-Country War Volume 1: The Secret War Begins, Laos 1954-1960
GTIN: 9781804518632 Raamatud
Details how Laos and Cambodia’s conflicts shaped America’s defeat in South Vietnam.The United States of America lost South Vietnam (the ‘In-Country War’) because it was defeated in Laos and Cambodia (the ‘Out-Country War’). This is the first of a series which will, for the first time, reconstruct in detail the full story of the ‘Out-Country War’ and the influence of decisions in Washington, Hanoi and Bangkok.The Secret War Begins shows how Hanoi’s determination to make Laos a Communist state wrecked the 1954 Geneva Agreement. It shows, in detail, how its Pathet Lao puppet regime helped to polarise the nation and Hanoi then ignored a second Geneva Agreement in 1962. The strategic reasons for this included the need to develop the Ho chi Minh Trail to support the struggle in South Vietnam. In response the Americans and their allies, who followed the second agreement in name if not spirit, began a cover proxy war with CIA-backed guerrillas and by using air power. But by now Laotian anti-Communist leaders were almost out of control leaving Laos by the end of 1963 a powder keg ready to explore.Reaching back – often for the first time ever – upon numerous local sources to augment those published in the West, The Secret War Begins tells the full story. It looks not only at the military aspects of this confrontation with far-reaching consequences – like battles on the ground – but, also the growing deployment of air power as well as the political decisions and developments that influenced them, including surprising French influence. The book is richly illustrated with authentic and rare photography, many of which was never published before, detailed maps, and custom-drawn colour profiles. The United States lost South Vietnam (the In-Country War) because it was defeated in Laos and Cambodia (the Out-Country War). This is the first of a series which will provide, for the first time, the full story of the Out-Country War and the influence of decisions in Washington, Hanoi and Bangkok.
