Nikolai Gogol

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

Данное издание знаменитого произведения Николая Васильевича Гоголя включает в себя, помимо первого тома, сохранившиеся главы второго тома, более двухсот поясняющих сносок-комментариев, а также около трехсот иллюстраций. У большинства современных читателей с героями «Мертвых душ» прочно ассоциируются образы, созданные в XIX веке художниками А. А. Агиным и П. М. Боклевским, и мало кому известны те замечательные иллюстрации, которые украсили роман, вышедший в 1900 году в издательстве А. Маркса. Вот что писал сам издатель в предисловии: «Предоставить выполнение всех рисунков одному художнику оказалось немыслимым: работа затянулась бы на десятки лет. Кроме того, при значительном количестве иллюстраций появилось бы некоторое однообразие в манере исполнения. Поэтому работа была разделена между несколькими художниками. Пейзаж был предоставлен гг. Бажину и Хохрякову, а жанр — гг. Андрееву, Афанасьеву, Быстренину, Далькевичу, Козачинскому, Маньковскому, Пирогову, г-же Самокиш-Судковской и г. Соломко. Общее редактирование иллюстраций взяли на себя гг. Гнедич и Далькевич. С искренней любовью отнеслись художники к своей задаче и в течение нескольких лет трудились над иллюстрациями, причем каждый выбрал эпизоды, наиболее подходящие к сущности своего дарования».

Our brains are constantly at work, making them our most crucial asset. However, understanding the brain's mysteries remains elusive for most people.

It unravels the secrets of the subconscious mind by leveraging neuroscience research and sharing relatable anecdotes about their manifestation in business and social scenarios.

It guides you through the complexities of the brain, revealing the vast untapped thinking power within you.

The insights provided in this book will alter readers' understanding of the brain's potential, emphasizing the uniqueness of each brain.

Property Values Beyond Property Lines

The Unbounded Home grapples with a core modern reality -- that the value and meaning of a home extend beyond its property lines to schools, shops, parks, services, neighbors, neighborhood aesthetics, and market conditions. The resulting tension between the homeowner's desire for personal autonomy at home and the impulse to control everything that could affect the home's value fuels continual conflict among neighbors and communities. The home's unbounded nature implicates nearly every facet of residential life, from the financial vulnerability of homeowners to the persistence of segregation by race and class. This book shows how innovations that increase the flexibility of property law can address critical issues of neighborhood control and community composition that have been simmering unresolved for decades -- and how homeownership itself can be reinvented to better deliver on its promises.

A Pakistan Perspective

This book presents an up-to-the-minute overview of arsenic and fluoride pollution of soil and groundwater in Pakistan. It includes the author’s doctoral dissertation on Lahore as a case study and describes the mechanism of pollution on the basis of the findings in that area. The book highlights the concrete situation in Pakistan – including the severity of the problem, its health effects and the risks posed to the people living in affected areas by these two major pollutants– and points out essential research areas that call for immediate attention. As such, it draws attention to the need for management strategies in the affected areas and offers a valuable reference work on Pakistan for students and researchers alike.
