Agatha
2010. After graduating from university in Moscow, a native of Argentina, Agata Garcia Lopez, should return to her homeland. Before leaving home, she decides to visit Yemen, where her good university friend Andrey Zorin serves at the Russian embassy. However, a few days after her arrival in the Yemeni capital, a war begins in the strife-torn country. To return to Moscow, the girl will have to take part in an operation to evacuate Russian citizens. And at the same time to sort out her feelings for the friend who invited her... The story is an artistic, not a documentary-historical work. All her characters and the events described are completely fictional. The book may be of interest to fans of adventure prose and fiction about the Arab Middle East. Translated from Russian.
The Last Frontier
The action of the historical novel “The Last Frontier” takes place on the ruins of Novorossiysk - a small town on the Black Sea shore, almost completely swept away the face of the earth in the result of fierce battles with the fascist invaders in 1942-1943. This is a very difficult time for Russia that is drastically drained after a whole line of crushing defeats. Each of the heroes experiences it in his own way. Some of them demonstrate unparalleled heights of resilience and courage, others try to settle old scores in order to save their lives through deception and betrayal. But for all of them, as well as for the Wehrmacht’s - many times superior - troops, rapidly rushing to the Cauc...
"Sail" leading to distant goals
The documentary-memoir story "Sail leading to distant goals" is devoted to the history of the appearance, formation and development of the Novorossiysk school newspaper "Parus (Sail)", published from 1992 to 2015, as well as the enormous influence that this print edition had on the children's press in the city of Novorossiysk and far beyond. The book was written by Sergey Konyashin, a former cadet of "Parus", twice the "Young Journalist of the Year" in Novorossiysk (1999 and 2000), whose creative path into the great Russian journalism and diplomacy began from the pages of this — now largely legendary — children's print edition. Sergey Konyashin's memoirs will be of interest primarily to those who seek to learn more about the history of the Novorossiysk school press, its place in the development of the city's additional education system, as well as in the fate of some gifted Novorossiysk children.
Ultra-High Temperature Materials III
This exhaustive work in several volumes and over 2500 pages provides a thorough treatment of ultra-high temperature materials (with melting points around or over 2500 °C). The first volume focuses on carbon (graphene/graphite) and refractory metals (W, Re, Os, Ta, Mo, Nb and Ir), whilst the second and third are dedicated to refractory transition metal 4-5 groups carbides. Topics included are physical (structural, thermal, electro-magnetic, optical, mechanical, nuclear) and chemical (more than 3000 binary, ternary and multi-component systems, including those used for materials design, data on solid-state diffusion, wettability, interaction with various elements and compounds in solid and liquid states, gases and chemicals in aqueous solutions) properties of these materials. It will be of interest to researchers, engineers, postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate students alike. The readers/users are provided with the full qualitative and quantitative assessment, which is based on the latest updates in the field of fundamental physics and chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science, design and engineering.
Ultra-High Temperature Materials II
This exhaustive work in three volumes and over 1300 pages provides a thorough treatment of ultra-high temperature materials with melting points over 2500 °C. The first volume focuses on Carbon and Refractory Metals, whilst the second and third are dedicated solely to Refractory compounds and the third to Refractory Alloys and Composites respectively. Topics included are physical (crystallographic, thermodynamic, thermo physical, electrical, optical, physico-mechanical, nuclear) and chemical (solid-state diffusion, interaction with chemical elements and compounds, interaction with gases, vapours and aqueous solutions) properties of the individual physico-chemical phases of carbon (graphite/g...
Al Jazeera and Democratization
Al Jazeera and Democratization analyses the increasing role of the media in political transformations with a special emphasis on the Arab world. Taking the Al Jazeera media network as a case study, the author explains how engaging the public and providing platforms for open debate and free expression contributed to the emergence of a new vibrant Arab public sphere. The launch of Al Jazeera in 1996 was a significant event that led to subsequent changes both in Arab media and politics. Among these changes, the Arab spring is certainly the most remarkable. This unprecedented phenomenon has already resulted in political change in a number of countries and is expected to generate a democratizing ...
The Physics and Chemistry of Carbides, Nitrides and Borides
Carbides, nitrides and borides are families of related refractory materials. Traditionally they have been employed in applications associated with engineering ceramics where either high temperature strength or stability is of primary importance. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the interesting electrical, thermal and optical properties exhibited by these materials, and the fact that many can be prepared as monolithic ceramics, single crystals and thin films. In practical terms carbides, nitrides and borides offer the prospect of a new generation of semiconductor materials, for example, which can function at very high temperatures in severe environmental conditions. Howev...
Concise Encyclopedia of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis
The Concise Encyclopedia of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis: History, Theory, Technology, and Products helps students and scientists understand the fundamental concepts behind self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). SHS-based technologies provide valuable alterations to traditional methods of material fabrication, such as powder metallurgy, conventional and force sintering, casting, extrusion, high isostatic pressure sintering, and others. The book captures the whole spectrum of the chemistry, physics, reactions, materials, and processes of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. This book is an indispensable resource not only to scientists working in the field of...
