Book DescriptionThe Companion Guide to St Petersburg has been published in spring 2003 to coincide with the tercentenary of the founding of the cityMost visitors to St Petersburg have heard at least four factаэхаыs about it: that it is 'the Venice of the North'; that a vast number of workmen, perhaps a hundred thousand, died in the early years of its construction; that it was built on uninhabited marshes; and that it was founded on territory which did not and never had belongedблфйя to Russia These 'facts' have one feature in common: none of them is true Few people can say this with more authority that Kyril Zinovieff, who comes from a family associated with the administration of St Petersburg since the eighteenth century He recalls being taken as a child in 1917 to see the damage done to the Winter Palace - which he found regettably unspectacular And more: 'My sister and I may have been two of the last people still alive to have seen Rasputin' is the startlбсйкмing beginning of another chapter His knowledge of the history of his city, where every stone tells a story, is encyclopaedic; his respect for the spiritual strength of its inhabitants unbounded; he has produced a work of charm, humour and erudition with a unique insight into this amazing city KYRIL ZINOVIEFF, as Kyril Fitzlyon, has made noted translations from the Russian, including the Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky; this book has been written with JENNY HUGHES, formerly of the Economist and the Guardian.

Clark Gable was the archetypal Hollywood gentleman, the kind of man red-blooded women lusted after, and who their envious husbands yearned to be Yet as David Bret reveals, Gable was also bisexual, a facet of аэхбьhis complex persona that was airbrushed out in an age when such men were invariably mocked as effete and lily-livered Bret recounts Gable's two failed marriages to women who turned a blind eye towards his affairs with men, such as the actors Earl Larimore, Johnny Mackблфлд Brown, William Haines, and Rod LaRocque — men whom Gable outed to the press to prevent himself from being outed Bret also reveals exclusively that Gable's wartime "heroics," which saw him promoted through the ranks from private to major in less than a year, were no more than an elaborate publicity stunt, which subsequently embarrassed the US government Bret draws on a wealth of unpublished material to examine every aspect of Clark Gable's career and personal life, telliбсйлдng his story as it has never been told before — wholly uncensored, with accuracy and passion Издание на английском языке Формат: 16,5 см x 23,5 см Автор Дэвид Брет David Bret.

Thanks to the pioneering tours of the Creole Band, jazz began to be heard nationwide on the vaudeville stages of America from 1914 to 1918 This seven-piece band toured the country, exporting for the first timаэхвдe the authentic jazz strains that had developed in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century The band's vaudeville routines were deeply rooted in the minstrel shows and plantation cliches of American show business in the late 19th century, but its instrumental musiблфлнc was central to its performance and distinctive and entrancing to audiences and reviewers Pioneers of Jazz reveals at long last the link between New Orleans music and the jazz phenomenon that swept America in the 1920s While they were the first important band from New Orleans to attain national exposure, The Creole Band has not heretofore been recognized for its unique importance But in his monumental, careful research, jazz scholar Lawrence Gushee firmly establishes the group's cбсйлиentral role in jazz history Gushee traces the troupe's activities and quotes the reaction of critics and audiences to their first encounters with this new musical phenomenon While audiences, who often expected (and got) a kind of minstrel show, the group transcended expectations, taking pride in their music and facing down the theatrical establishment with courage Although they played the West Coast and Canada, most of their touring centered in the heartland Most towns of any size in Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana heard them, often repeatedly, and virtually all of their appearances were received with wild enthusiasm After four years of nearly incessant traveling, members of the band founded or joined groups in Chicago South Side cabaret scene, igniting the craze for hot New Orleans music for which the Windy City was renowned in the early 1920s The best-known musicians in the group--cornetist Freddie Keppard, clarinetist Jimmy Noone and string bassist Bill Johnson--would pбтмхгlay a significant role in jazz, becoming famous for recordings in the 1920s Gushee effectively brings to life each member of the band and discusses their individual contributions, while analyzing the music with precision, skillful and exacting documentation Including many never before published photos and interviews, the book also provides an invaluable and colorful look at show business, especially vaudeville, in the 1910s While some of the first jazz historians were aware of the band's importance, attempts to locate and interview surviving members (three died before1935) were sporadic and did little or nothing to correct the mostly erroneous accounts of the band's career The jazz world has long known about Gushee's original work on this previously neglected subject, and the book represents an important event in jazz scholarship Pioneers of Jazz brilliantly places this group's unique importance into a broad cultural and historical context, and provides the crucial linkбтцят between jazz's origins in New Orleans and the beginning of its dissemination across the country?

The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet is redefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popular book revised online by its readers (*New York Times) There's a common belаэхбюief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control Code, first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has noблфлл "nature" It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control Under the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space But that's not inevitable either We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee бсйлеThese choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned the status of a minor classic This second edition, or Version 20, has been prepared through the author's wiki, a web site that allows readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited revision of a popular book Автор Лоуренс Лессиг Lawrence Lessig.
