ЮЖНЫЕ КРЕСТЫ. Эта книга сама скажет все, что ей суждено сказать. В ней почти нет вымысла, все основано на сверлящей и брезжащей в просветах букв правде. Она могла бы распасться на ворох газетных статей, суетных репортажей да пару задушевных бесед о смысле того, что для многих из нас не имеет особого смысла, пока мы сами не взвалим на горб свой тяжелый занозистый крест и не отправимся с ним на плечах своей собственной дорогой скорби во внезапно разверзнувшуюся над головой кружевную воронку обманчивых созвездий. Эта книга о том, что наш свет по-прежнему взбалмошен и усердно жесток. О том, что любой человек может стать непосредственной жертвой своих же блужданий. О том, что чужак до сих пор представляет собой лишь мишень для капризных пощечин. И о том, что плоть наша, как и во все времена, является единственным заложником, через который нас стремятся склонить к несвободе, а мы торопливо уступаем, лишь бы быстрее отбыть свою временность, лишь бы уберечь свои кости от проливного дождя.
We frequently commit rash acts, whose prices in the course of time become dear, that gnaw at the soft bases of our hearts. And who knows, if in reality we are at fault, or is it some God trade who imposes his will upon us so that we are doomed to repeated adversity? Beset by death, by unhappy love, by betrayal... Alpha and Omega is a novel about unconditional love, which is the only form of love that in all fairness can be called love. Love not for something and not in spite of something. Love, as the main concern, becoming the core of life, the beginning and end, the alpha and omega...

The second edition of A Concise History of Brazil offers a sweeping yet accessible history of Latin America's largest country. Boris Fausto examines Brazil's history from the arrival of the Portuguese in the New World through the long and sometimes rocky transition from independence in 1822 to democracy in the twentieth century. In a completely new chapter, his son Sergio Fausto, a prominent political scientist, brings the history up to the present, focusing on Brazil's increasing global economic importance as well as its continued democratic development and the challenges the country faces to meet the higher expectations of its people.

Religion and the State in American Law provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of religion and government in the United States, from historical origins to modern laws and rulings. In addition to extensive coverage of the religion clauses of the First Amendment, it addresses many statutory, regulatory, and common-law developments at both the federal and state levels. Topics include the history of church-state relations and religious liberty, religion in the classroom, and expressions of religion in government. This book also covers the role of religion in specific areas of law such as contracts, taxation, employment, land use regulation, torts, criminal law, and domestic relations as well as in specialized contexts such as prisons and the military. Accessible to the general as well as the professional reader, this book will be of use to scholars, judges, practising lawyers, and the media.
Optimal Regulation and the Law of International Trade
Boris Rigod
Cambridge University Press
2015
sidottu
Are the limitations imposed on World Trade Organization (WTO) members' right to regulate efficient? This is a question that is only scarcely, if ever, analysed in existing literature. Boris Rigod aims to provide an answer to this fundamental concern. Using the tools of economic analysis and in particular the concept of economic efficiency as a benchmark, the author states that domestic regulatory measures should only be subject to scrutiny by WTO bodies when they cause negative international externalities through terms of trade manipulations. He then suggests that WTO law, applied by the WTO judiciary can prevent WTO members from attaining optimal levels of regulation. By applying a law and economics methodology, Rigod provides an innovative solution to the problem of how to reconcile members' regulatory autonomy and WTO rules as well as offering a novel analytical framework for assessing domestic regulations in the light of WTO law.
Pindar and the Emergence of Literature places Pindar in the context of the evolution of Archaic Greek poetics. While presenting an in-depth introduction to diverse aspects of Pindar's art (authorial metapoetics, imagery, genre hybridization, religion, social context, and dialect), it seeks to establish a middle ground between cultural contextualism and literary history, paying attention both to poetry's historical milieu and its uncanny capacity to endure in time. With that methodological objective, the book marshals a new version of historical poetics, drawing both on theorists usually associated with this approach, such as Alexander Veselovsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Olga Freidenberg, and on T. S. Eliot, Hans Blumenberg, Fredric Jameson, and Stephen Greenblatt. The ultimate literary-historical problem posed by Pindar's poetics, which this book sets out to solve, is the transformation of pre-literary structures rooted in folk communal art into elements that still inform our notion of literature.
Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968

In Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968, Heersink and Jenkins examine how National Convention politics allowed the South to remain important to the Republican Party after Reconstruction, and trace how Republican organizations in the South changed from biracial coalitions to mostly all-white ones over time. Little research exists on the GOP in the South after Reconstruction and before the 1960s. Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 helps fill this knowledge gap. Using data on the race of Republican convention delegates from 1868 to 1952, the authors explore how the 'whitening' of the Republican Party affected its vote totals in the South. Once states passed laws to disenfranchise blacks during the Jim Crow era, the Republican Party in the South performed better electorally the whiter it became. These results are important for understanding how the GOP emerged as a competitive, and ultimately dominant, electoral party in the late-twentieth century South.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) disaster that occurred in Ukraine on April 26, 1986, was one of the most devastating in human history. Using this as a case study, the AGU monograph Groundwater Vulnerability: Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster is devoted to the problem of groundwater vulnerability, where the results of long-term field and modeling investigations of radionuclide transport in soil and groundwater, within the Ukrainian part of the Dnieper River basin (Kyiv region of Ukraine), are discussed. The authors provide a comprehensive review of existing literature on the assessment of groundwater vulnerability and then describe an improved methodology, which is developed based on integration of the methods of hydrogeological zonation and modeling of anomalously fast migration of radioactive contaminants from the land surface toward groundwater. This volume also includes the evaluation of the effect of preferential and episodic flow on transport of radionuclides toward the aquifers and risk assessment of groundwater vulnerability, which can further assist future researchers in developing remediation technologies for improving drinking water quality. Further, this volume sheds light on the consequences of groundwater contamination from nuclear disasters and assists with assessing the risks associated with contamination and developing effective remediation technologies. Volume highlights include discussions of the following: Assessment of groundwater vulnerability to contamination from the Chernobyl nuclear disasterNovel analytical results of the 25-year investigations of groundwater contamination caused by Chernobyl-born radionuclidesThe wealth of data on different modes of radioactive transport in the atmosphere, water, and soils, and along the food chainsThe hydrogeological and physico-chemical processes and factors in groundwater contaminated zonesThe applicability of commonly used methods of the evaluation of groundwater vulnerabilityA unique method of fluid dynamics that involves an anomalously fast migration of contaminants through zones of preferential flow from the land surface toward groundwaterBuilding confidence in the assessment of migration pathways of radionuclides in the biosphereAssessment and prediction of the consequences of the nuclear accident, which can shed light on protection from global nuclear accidentsAnalogue information for different nuclear waste disposal and environmental projects around the world
Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion

Wiley-Blackwell
2020
sidottu
Despite significant developments and widespread theoretical and practical interest in the area of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion for the last fifty years, a comprehensive and authoritative text on the subject has not been available. Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion fills this gap by summarizing theoretical approaches to the problem within the framework of the Zeldovich-Novozhilov (ZN-) theory. This book contains equations governing unsteady combustion and applies them systematically to a wide range of problems of practical interest. Theory conclusions are validated, as much as possible, against available experimental data. Theory of Solid-Propellant Nonsteady Combustion provides an accurate up-to-date account and perspectives on the subject and is also accompanied by a website hosting solutions to problems in the book.
