Вспышка Covid-19 превратила спальни в офисы, столкнула молодых со старыми и увеличила разрыв между богатыми и бедными, теми, кто носит маски, и теми, кто их ненавидит. Некоторые компании, такие как Amazon и производитель программного обеспечения для видеоконференций Zoom, проснулись и обнаружили, что их раздавила лавина потребительского спроса. Другие, такие как индустрия ресторанов, путешествий, гостиничного бизнеса и живых развлечений, изо всех сил старались не устареть в одночасье. Но пандемия стала не столько фактором перемен, сколько ускорителем тенденций, которые уже шли полным ходом • В книге "После короны" Гэллоуэй очерчивает контуры как кризиса, так и возможностей, которые ждут нас впереди. В то время как мощные технологические монополии будут процветать в условиях кризиса, другие предприятия, такие как высшее образование, будут бороться за сохранение ценностного предложения, которое больше не имеет смысла, когда мы не можем стоять плечом к плечу подробнее

A new and original anthology that introduces the key writings on rhetoric in the classical world, from Aristotle to Cicero and beyond • Classical rhetoric is one of the earliest versions of what is today known as media studies. It was absolutely crucial to life in the ancient world, whether in the courtroom, the legislature or on ceremonial occasions, and was described as either the art of persuasion or the art of speaking well. This anthology, edited by Thomas Habinek, brings together all the most important ancient writings on rhetoric, including works by Cicero, Aristotle, Quintilian and Philostratus. Ranging across such themes as memory, persuasion, delivery and style, it provides a fascinating introduction to classical rhetoric and will be an invaluable sourcebook for students of the ancient world

In the face of a world changing around them, they endure • Rachel Lichtenstein spent five years exploring this unique community and recording its extraordinary chorus of voices, present and past. From mud larkers and fishermen to radio pirates and champion racers, from buried princesses to unexploded bombs, Estuary is a celebration of a haunting & profoundly British place
