In 1988, the first edition of Orest Subtelny's Ukraine was published to international acclaim, as the definitive history of what was at that time a republic in the USSR.

While previous updates brought readers up to the year 2000, this new fourth edition includes an overview of Ukraine's most recent history, focusing on the dramatic political, socio-economic, and cultural changes that occurred during the Kuchma and Yushchenko presidencies. It analyzes political developments - particularly the so-called Orange Revolution - and the institutional growth of the new state. Subtelny examines Ukraine's entry into the era of globalization, looking at social and economic transformations, regional, ideological, and linguistic tensions, and describes the myriad challenges currently facing Ukrainian state and society.

A tribute to and exploration of the magic behind one of Hollywood's most legendary and unknowable stars, Keanu Reeves, and the profound lessons we can learn from his success There can be no doubt: Keanu Reeves is a phenomenon. He’s at once a badass action star, a hunky dreamboat who People magazine has called “the Internet’s boyfriend,” a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, a niche art book publisher, a living meme, and a legend. He seems to upend every rule governing celebrity in the 21st century. But how? In Keanu Reeves: Most Triumphant, cultural critic Alex Pappademas attempts to address Keanu’s unmatched eternality and the other big questions raised by his career arc. Sharp, funny, deeply researched, and fully celebratory of the enigmatic actor, this is the first book to take Keanu’s whole deal as seriously as it deserves. Yes, even Johnny Mnemonic, where Keanu mind melds with a dolphin. Along the way, Pappademas reveals the lessons we can learn from Keanu about Hollywood, our broader culture, and even life itself.
Keanu Reeves több mint színész: jelenség. Egyszerre vagány akciósztár, dögös izompacsirta, akit a People magazin az „internet pasijának” nevezett, a klasszikus motorok szerelmese, kis példányszámú művészeti albumok kiadója, élő mém – valódi legenda. Látszólag megszegi a 21. századi hírességekre vonatkozó összes szabályt. Hogyan képes minderre? Alex Pappademas kultúrkritikus megpróbál választ találni Keanu kortalanságára és a karrierje által felvetett megannyi kérdésre. A csípős humorú, alapos kutatómunkával alátámasztott, a titokzatos színész iránti leplezetlen rajongással átitatott alkotás az első könyv, amely komolyan veszi a Keanu-jelenséget. Igen, beleértve a Johnny Mnemonicot is, amelyben Keanu elméje összeolvad egy delfinével. Mindeközben Pappademas bemutatja nekünk, hogy mit tanulhatunk Keanutól Hollywoodról, a tágabb értelemben vett kultúráról, és talán magáról az életről.
