"When the prolific British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) died at the age of 76, his contemporaries held a generally negative view of his recent work, describing it as indulgent, eccentric, and even repulsive. But over the past century, a number of curators and critics have reassessed Turner's late paintings. Instead of finding his employment of shimmering color to evoke light unpleasant or unskilled, they have seen it as a precursor to the Impressionists and consider his use of abstraction to be distinctly modern. In this elegantly conceived volume, leading experts on Turner consider these contrasting views of the artist in a groundbreaking exploration of his paintings. They examine his notes and sketchbooks to determine whether his health may have impacted his art and how Victorian views of old age influenced perceptions of the elderly artist. They also question the notion that Turner's late work articulated a conclusive, radical vision heedless of public reaction, for evidence makes clear that he had a firm idea of the art market in his day."--Publisher's description
Moscow, 1987. As the cold war begins to thaw, an extraordinary reunion takes place between one of the great novelists of the twentieth century, Graham Greene, and his old MI6 boss, the notorious Soviet spy, Kim Philby. It's taken thirty years and the beginnings of a new world order. As the two men raise their vodka glasses under the watchful eye of Philby's last wife, Rufa, Ben Brown's compelling political drama asks whether Philby betrayed his friend as well as his country, and how much the writer of The Third Man knew about Philby's secret life. A Splinter of Ice was filmed on stage at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, for release online in April 2021, before a UK tour.

This biography covers such subjects as his childhood and family, women and love, marriage and divorce, and politics and wealth.

Winston Churchill noted that the submarine war in the Atlantic was the only campaign of World War II that truly frightened him. If the lifeline to North America had been severed, Britain would not have survived, and crucial events like the buildup of US and Commonwealth forces, D-Day landings, and victory in Western Europe would have been impossible. This battle, which lasted from the war's onset to Germany's final surrender, was the longest and one of the hardest-fought campaigns. The book explores the ships, technology, and tactics used by the Allies, starting with lessons learned from World War I and detailing inter-war technological advancements and training. As the war unfolded, the balance of power shifted between U-boats and escorts, with new weapons and sensors introduced rapidly. For the defending navies, the key challenge was to enhance capabilities while maintaining simplicity and speed in construction. The author examines the designs of sloops, frigates, corvettes, and destroyer escorts, assessing their effectiveness and cost-efficiency in anti-submarine warfare. Drawing from a lifetime of warship design experience, the author's insights in this new softcover edition will intrigue enthusiasts and provide valuable knowledge for naval historians.
We live in the Golden Age of space exploration. Humanity's achievements include the continued operation of the International Space Station, rapid advancements in reusable rockets, and soon, a return to the Moon. Within our lifetime, we might have human outposts on the lunar surface and flags flying on the plains of Mars. These strides are not just about reaching new frontiers. They have profound implications for life on Earth. The data from climate satellites overhead, innovative materials and recycling systems designed for space habitats, and emerging space-based energy solutions are essential to addressing Earth's conservation challenges. Space enables the understanding of Earth as much as Earth enables the exploration of space. This bright tomorrow is not assured, however. Space junk, international conflicts and fiscal calamities loom as threats to all that might be accomplished. For the human adventure to continue beyond the Earth's atmosphere, the time is now to reconsider the nature of sustainability.

Od počátku války v roce 1939 do jejího konce v roce 1945 se letectvo Královského námořnictva přeměnilo ze zanedbatelné v mohutnou strategickou zbraň. Letadla startující z britských letadlových lodí bojovala po celém světě. David Brown ve své knize podrobně popisuje jeho boje u Domácího loďstva, ve Středomoří, v Atlantském, Indickém i Tichém oceánu. Stranou nezůstávají ani operace sil, vytvořených pro zvláštní jednorázové operace.
Dále jsou analyzovány operace loďstva v Pacifiku mezi lety 1941 a 1945, kdy se odehrávala největší námořní bitva všech dob. Námořnictva jak USA, tak císařského Japonska sledovala operace Britů v raných stadiích války a vzala si z nich ponaučení. Ameriští letci a námořníci se v průběhu bojů rychle učili, až se koncem března 1945 5. flotila námořnictva Spojených států spolu s námořní pěchotou staly nejvýkonnějším a nejefektivnějším válečným nástrojem, použitým v době před svržením atomových bomb na Hirošimu a Nagasaki.
Předkládaná publikace představuje vrchol snažení jednoho z nejvýznamnějších historiků námořního letectva. Kniha je doplněna četnými ilustracemi a tabulkami, uvádějícími letadla a jednotky na jednotlivých letadlových lodích v průběhu té které válečné operace. Spolu s živým a poutavým vyprávěním tvoří jednu z nejpozoruhodnějších knih o 1. svazku, popisujících operace letadlových lodí Velké Británie, USA a Japonska v průběhu 2. světové války.

Umenie obchodných vojen je kompiláciou postrehov z najväčších obchodných sporov v dejinách, inšpirovanou učením legendárneho čínskeho generála Sun-c'a a populárnym podcastom Business Wars. Kniha rozpráva príbehy a poučenia z významných obchodných konfliktov, ktoré odhaľujú, prečo niektoré firmy prosperujú, zatiaľ čo iné zlyhávajú.
Podobne ako vo vojne, aj v biznise sa nezmieriteľní lídri snažia o prežitie, navrhujú stratégie a mobilizujú zdroje, aby zvíťazili. Úspech môže závisieť od najmenších detailov; jediná chyba môže potopiť celé impérium. Víťazstvo je to jediné, na čom záleží.
David Brown majstrovsky opisuje niektoré z najväčších obchodných bitiek, pričom využíva postrehy uznávaného čínskeho vojenského stratéga. Každý spor rivalov je príbehom kombinácie rozumu, taktiky a zdrojov. Brown zachytáva vzostup firiem, ich inovatívne plány a prispôsobenie sa meniacim sa požiadavkám, s cieľom udržať si náskok pred konkurenciou.
Zhrnuté poznatky z podcastu a hĺbkový výskum vytvorili vzorec obchodných intríg. Príbehy inšpirujú a ponaučenia o odhodlaní, vynaliezavosti a ďalších vlastnostiach sú neoceniteľné pre všetkých, od kreatívcov po riaditeľov nadnárodných firiem.
