Focusing on one of the last untold chapters in the history of human flight, "Dictatorship of the Air" is the first book to explain the true story behind twentieth-century Russia's quest for aviation prominence. Based on nearly a decade of scholarly research, but written with general readers in mind, this is the only account to answer the question "What is "Russian" about Russian aviation?" From the 1909 arrival of machine-powered flight in the "land of the tsars" to the USSR's victory over Hitler in 1945, "Dictatorship of the Air" describes why the airplane became the pre-eminent symbol of industrial progress and international power for generations of Russian statesmen and citizens. The book reveals how, behind a facade of daredevil pilots, record setting flights, and gargantuan airplanes, Russia's longstanding legacies of industrial backwardness, cultural xenophobia, and state-directed modernization prolonged the nation's dependence upon Western technology and, ultimately,...

Murray Bookchin

An astute observer of the theoretical and practical limitations of the traditional left, Murray Bookchin sought to develop a refreshingly new political framework. Developing from his earlier works on social ecology—which combined ecological principles with the abolition of social hierarchy and economic inequality— Communalism is a fascinating blend of libertarian municipalism with the best of the anarchist and Marxist traditions. These essays, collected for the first time, represent the final works of Murray Bookchin, co-founder of the Institute for Social Ecology and the author of dozens of articles and books. Eirik Eiglad is the editor of the journal Communalism.

Cette introduction aux concepts probabilistes et au calcul des probabilites s'adresse aux eleves-ingenieurs ou aux etudiants qui ne se destinent pas a priori a une carriere en mathematiques. La presentation, bien qu'utilisant le formalisme moderne, ne fait donc pas appel a une connaissance prealable de la Theorie de la Mesure et de l'Integration. En revanche, l'auteur insiste tout au long du livre sur l'aspect essentiel de la modelisation, a l'aide d'exercises varies en genetique (processus de branchement) en theorie des communicaitons (transmission de donnees, codage), en theorie du signal (filtre de Kalman-Bucy), en recherche operationnelle (fils d'attente) en statistique (tests d'hypotheses), etc. Une derniere caracteristique importante de ce livre est la presence d'une centaine d'exercices avec solutions detaillees.

Independent wrestling promotions were once the norm all across the country. But as the nineties began, independents were looking for creative ways to survive. Several banded together to share cost and talent; they were known as Eastern Championship Wrestling. Based out of a warehouse in Philadelphia, this promotion seemed doomed to be just one more ninety-day wonder. They hired Paul Heyman, who told the company he would come in, shake things up, and leave. But Heyman stayed?and redefined professional wrestling in the nineties. He crafted a promotion that dared to push the boundaries of sports entertainment. What he created became Extreme Championship Wrestling. Heyman dared to break with tradition. Rather than relying on local talent and down-and-out veterans, he created new characters and story lines that would appeal to hardcore wrestling fans. Paul knew you had to offer the fans more than the match. Heyman encouraged wrestlers to speak from their hearts. ECW became known...
