People and Time: The Painting Exhibition Catalog
The exhibition presents the work of Russian artists of different ages and experience, displayed in various painting techniques and genres, united by one idea to capture the spiritual world of a person and its manifestation in life and culture. The idea of such an exhibition was born a long time ago, and now it has formed into a concept to present the work of both already formed artistic personalities with their own unique vision of the world, who have developed their own manner and painting techniques, and novice, young artists with a direct, open look at the world, untrained visual approaches reflecting their idea of people, their deeds, experiences, exploits, an independent vision of the reality being changed by a person and cultural transformation of space. Artists pay close attention to the transience of the flow of human life, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena, the passion of human nature, the strength of spirit, the height of spirituality, the depth of poetry, historical exploits, cultural traditions and embody in the images of their works.
A Memoir of the Missile Age
Vitaly Leonidovich Katayev was an eyewitness to history as he saw the arms race accelerating at an absurd and inexplicable pace, and he understood why. His perspective was from inside the Soviet system, in an office that was devoted to analysis of arms control and defense matters in the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party and later in an interdepartmental working group. Vitaly Katayev was a skilled designer and an acute observer. His recollections in this book, along with documents he deposited at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives, offer an extraordinary window into Soviet decisions and calculations. This monograph shows how Soviet leaders were often hobbled by a poor understanding of what was happening in the United States, but it also demonstrates that Americans, too, had a weak grasp of what was happening in Moscow, before and after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power. The misunderstandings on both sides were a symptom of the deepest chasm of the Cold War and A Memoir of the Missile Age provides a valuable key with which to open the Soviet black box.
Advances in Coastal and Ocean Engineering
This volume consists of five excellent review papers. In the first paper, ?A Review of Coastal Wave Modeling: The Physical and Mathematical Problems?, N E Huang presents a summary of the state-of-the-art of wave modeling in deep waters. He points out several shortcomings in existing modeling approaches and expresses the urgent need for developing a statistical theory of surface waves in shallow waters. Huang believes that the statistical theory can be formulated as the soliton turbulence. He also points out other important issues in wave modeling, including the air-sea interaction processes, and the physics of the wave-current and dissipation processes. In the second paper A C Radder focuses...
Ambassadors from Earth
Rewind to the 1950s and ponder: was America's first satellite really built by a college student? How did a small band of underappreciated Russian engineers get pictures of the moon's far side--using stolen American film? As the 1960s progressed, consider: how the heck did people learn to steer a spacecraft using nothing but gravity? And just how were humans able to goose a spaceship through a thirty-year journey to the literal edge of our solar system? Ambassadors from Earth relates the story of the first unmanned space probes and planetary explorers--from the Sputnik and Explorer satellites launched in the late 1950s to the thrilling interstellar Voyager missions of the '70s--that yielded s...

Defending Putin's Empire
Compiled from various sources, some still classified, and many of which have never previously been published, this book clearly portrays the development of the Russian air and ballistic missile defense systems. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union invested heavily in its air defense systems. As a result, Russia now possesses the most advanced air and ballistic missile defense systems in the world. Russian air defense systems are also highly proliferated and are currently in use by many countries. Since the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the USSR, it has become increasingly possible to study Russian air defense, but Russia is by no means an open book on defense-related subjects. Some...
Summary of Sergei Kostin & Eric Raynaud's Farewell
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Svetlana, the wife of Farewell, was able to give us a lot of information about her husband. She was able to tell us about his character and his inner motivations, which made the suspenseful, sensational side of the story much more believable. #2 Vladimir Vetrov was born on October 10, 1932, in Moscow. He was raised by his mother, Maria Danilovna, and his father, Ippolit Vasilevich, who was a corporal during World War II. His parents had a happy relationship. #3 In the 1930s and 1940s, Soviet citizens did not have the perks that Communist Party and government officials were enjoying. They did not have their own plot of land to grow vegetables, and they had to share the kitchen and the bathroom with several other families. #4 Vladimir was a great student, and he was very good at mathematics. He was admitted to the MTVU, and he was among the first students to graduate as high-tech specialists. He loved everything technical, and he had to give up athletics to remain a good student.
