Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives
From Stalinism to the New Cold War
AvStephen Cohen
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009
1 193 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In this wide-ranging and acclaimed book, Stephen F. Cohen challenges conventional wisdom about the course of Soviet and post-Soviet history. Reexamining leaders from Nikolai Bukharin, Stalin's preeminent opponent, and Nikita Khrushchev to Mikhail Gorbachev and his rival Yegor Ligachev, Cohen shows that their defeated policies were viable alternatives and that their tragic personal fates shaped the Soviet Union and Russia today. Cohen's ramifying arguments include that Stalinism was not the predetermined outcome of the Communist Revolution; that the Soviet Union was reformable and its breakup avoidable; and that the opportunity for a real post-Cold War relationship with Russia was squandered in Washington, not in Moscow. This is revisionist history at its best, compelling readers to rethink fateful events of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and the possibilities ahead. In his new epilogue, Cohen expands his analysis of U.S. policy toward post-Soviet Russia, tracing its development in the Clinton and Obama administrations and pointing to its initiation of a "new Cold War" that, he implies, has led to a fateful confrontation over Ukraine.

This memoir by the second most powerful Communist Party leader during the early Gorbachev years provides an important alternative view of the USSR''s transformation?a view that is gaining ground in Russian politics today. In a substantial new piece for this edition, Mr. Ligachev outlines the political agenda of today''s communist coalition?the establishment of a new Soviet Union, with strong economic and political integration of its member-states.Yegor Ligachev, a seasoned Party boss from Siberia, made a solid career for himself in the capital during the Khrushchev era, but, following Khrushchev''s ouster, chose to retreat to the provinces. In 1985, his political patrons brought him back to Moscow to help them build a dynamic new leadership team under Mikhail Gorbachev. The two reform-minded communists launched an effort to inject life and energy into the Party, economy, and society through a series of liberalizing measures. But when Ligachev saw the reforms moving into a revolutionary phase that could result in the Party''s loss of control over the helm of state, he found himself increasingly siding with the opposition.In this gripping book, Ligachev describes the evolving confrontation between opposing forces at high-level Party meetings and sessions of the Politburo as well as in less formal conversations. Along the way, he gives revealing glimpses not only of Gorbachev but also of Yuri Andropov, Andrei Gromyko, Alexander Yakovlev, Eduard Shevardnadze, Boris Yeltsin, and other top leaders. Notorious events such as the 1989 massacre in Tbilisi and the Gdlyan/Ivanov affair?in which, Ligachev argues, he was unjustly implicated?are also highlighted.

Dynamics of Tethered Satellites and Space Elevators provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge of tethered space systems, including their potential applications, history, and a description of past and current space tether missions. This is followed by an in-depth investigation into various aspects of the dynamics and control of rigid and flexible single-tether space systems, tether propulsion, and multi-tether satellite systems. The use of tethers to remove space debris is discussed next alongside other sustainability-related considerations, making the content all the more relevant in view of the global pressures that stakeholders in the space sector currently face.An entire section of chapters on the dynamics of partial and full space elevators concludes the volume.Builds on from basic fundamentals to advanced, in-depth coverage of tethered space systemsIncludes mathematical modeling in each chapterConsiders several applications - from attitude stabilization, momentum exchange, to in-orbit maintenance (such as fueling service, orbit maneuvering, and space debris removal), and many moreDiscusses past missions in detail and broaches future ones, including zero-emission lift of cargo to space

Shakespeare and Historical Formalism

Located at the intersection of new historicism and the 'new formalism', historical formalism is one of the most rapidly growing and important movements in early modern studies: taking seriously the theoretical issues raised by both history and form, it challenges the anti-formalist orthodoxies of new historicism and expands the scope of historicist criticism. Shakespeare and Historical Formalism is the first volume devoted exclusively to collecting and assessing work of this kind. With essays on a broad range of Shakespeare's works and engaging topics from performance theory to the emergence of 'the literary' and from historiography to pedagogy, the volume demonstrates the value of historical formalism for Shakespeare studies and for literary criticism as a whole. Shakespeare and Historical Formalism begins with an introduction that describes the nature and potential of historical formalism and traces its roots in early modern literary theory and its troubled relationship with new historicism. The volume is then divided into two sections corresponding to the two chief objectives of historical formalism: a historically informed and politically astute formalism, and a historicist criticism revitalized by attention to issues of form. The first section, 'Historicizing Form', explores from a variety of perspectives the historical and political sources, meanings and functions of Shakespeare's dramatic forms. The second section, 'Re-Forming History', uses questions of form to rethink our understanding of historicism and of history itself, and in doing so challenges some of our fundamental literary-critical, pedagogical and epistemological assumptions. Concluding with suggestions for further reading on historical formalism and related work, Shakespeare and Historical Formalism invites scholars to rethink the familiar categories and principles of formal and historical criticism.

A blazing account of a life lived in Americas television newsrooms.

It is a journey that leaps from a small newsroom in rural Arkansas to the largest newsroom of its time in New York at CBS. The best known broadcast journalists of a generation bump into each other on their way forward in their careers. At every outpost a collection of hard working, young journalists about to be stars, and factors in television news emerge. Their names fast becoming household names. What were they like, when they were full of hope, and the art of doing television news was emerging in full form. And what was the cost of it all, as they burned their images into Americas psyche? And what was the Newslife like for the author , who saw it all, did it all, and emerged to tell this tale?
Manosophy
A Gameplan for Your Life
AvStephen Cohen

Läs direkt efter köp
Men go through life without a plan or a guiding philosophy. The result is, men often give up their dreams too soon or abandon them entirely. No more. This book allows a man to create his own game plan based upon a personal operating philosophy (POP) that comes from a philosophy designed for men. Its a manosophy that offers guidance and charts a path for a man who wants to be transformed into a man of purpose, yet it also requires that a man seek and have happiness as a foundation of any worldview. Men are often denied the right to be happy; they defer it or avoid it.
This manosophy establishes what you believe and want in life and how to achieve it so this life is the one you own and desire. It provides diagnostic tools for you to use to review your goals. It offers man-to-man honesty on topics as gnarly as sex, loss, and manipulation by others. You will emerge after reading this with exercises to keep you on track, and you will not ever be alone in your quest.
This is a book for men long overdue and celebrates men with respect and offers a modern view of the culture that negates a man finding his own way with power. There is no game you can win without a plan. And the plan may not succeed, but if you have no plan, no manosophy, you will be assuredly following the plan of someone else.
It is your life. Now make it follow your plan.
