The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The text is divided into three parts which deal respectively with the special theory of relativity, with the general theory of relativity, and with considerations on the universe as a whole. The special theory deals with the physics of elementary particles while the general theory is concerned with the force of gravity and its effect on the other forces of nature. These two theories, while exceptional in their explanations of their particular focus, are inconsistent with each other, and it has long been an aim of the science of physics to help resolve these inconsistencies. Einstein proposed that, rather than discarding these two principles for their contradictions, the rules of time and space should be completely rethought in order to harmonize our understanding of the physical world. Einstein’s work in the field of theoretical physics would earn him the Nobel Prize in 1921 and establish his legacy as one of the most famous scientists of all time. This edition is translated by Robert W. Lawson and includes a biographical afterword. Получить ссылку |

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Technique
Автор: Gracie Renzo, Gracie Royler, Danaher John
Год издания:
During the last decade, the martial arts world has looked to innovative mixed martial arts competitions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship to determine which fighting style is the best. These contests have repeatedly shown the grappling style of martial arts, headed by Brazilian jiu-jitsu, to dominate. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu style stems from the premise, garnered from analysis of actual street fights, that the outcome of any fight is decided on the ground. While most martial arts deal only with the initial punching and kicking stages of combat, Brazilian jiu-jitsu concentrates on ground combat. This guide shows how to use Brazilian jiu-jitsu to increase combat effectiveness. Photographs and step-by-step instructions show how to master the techniques used in this exciting new form of combat.
Renzo Gracie, a two-time world Abu Dhabi submission jiu-jitsu champion, two-time Brazilian national champion, World Combat champion, and Martial Arts Reality Superfight champion, teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu at an elite martial arts academy. Royler Gracie has competed in the Black Belt ranks for 20 years, winning the world title four times and the Abu Dhabi world submission championship for two consecutive years. They live in New York City.

Кавалерийский танк Второй Мировой М3/М5 General Stuart
Автор: Михаил Барятинский
Год издания:
Этот американский танк, названный в честь кавалерийского генерала южан, принял боевое крещение в британской армии, в составе 8-го гусарского полка (Kings Royal Irish Hussar), воевавшего в Северной Африке. МЗ/М5 General Stuart стал самым массовым легким танком Второй Мировой – в общей сложности было произведено около 23 тысяч «стюартов», из которых 1232 поставлены по Лендлизу в СССР. И хотя наши танкисты не жаловали эту машину за слабое вооружение, ей довелось воевать от Кавказа до Ржева и от Сталинграда и Новороссийска до Вены и Праги, продемонстрировав выдающиеся динамические характеристики, скорость, подвижность и «работоспособность» – это был «полноценный кавалерийский танк» по американской классификации. Подобно гусарам, некогда незаменимым на поле боя и по праву считавшимся элитой легкой кавалерии, «стюарты» были хороши в разведке и маневренной войне, в стремительных рейдах по вражеским тылам и преследовании отступающего противника. Конечно, против немецких танков у них было мало шансов, зато на Тихоокеанских островах их успешно применяли до конца войны, а огнеметная модификация М5А1 заслуженно именовалась Satan («Сатана»). В новой книге ведущего историка бронетехники вы найдете исчерпывающую информацию об этом знаменитом танке, его создании, совершенствовании и боевом применении. Коллекционное издание на мелованной бумаге высшего качества иллюстрировано сотнями эксклюзивных схем и фотографий.
