In 1958 he published a revised edition of his most ambitious work, entitled Strategy and Tactics of Chess, which became one of the most legendary manuals in the Soviet chess school, and no doubt one of the books that motivated the young Bobby Fischer to learn Russian.Lisitsin broke down Strategy and Tactics into their key constituent elements, enabling players of all levels to study chess systematically, learning from carefully selected game fragments and studies. Key Elements of Chess Strategy and its companion volume Key Elements of Chess Tactics are the first ever complete English translations of Lisitsin''s classic.In this volume, Lisitsin breaks down the Foundations of Strategy into categories such as piece placement, exchanges, weaknesses and prophylaxis, followed by a section on Devising a Strategic Plan, including concepts such as blockading, undermining, the initiative, pawn chains, and planning in the opening.

DENIM: THE FABRIC THAT BUILT AMERICA 1935-1944 is a beautiful and irresistible portrait of an iconic cloth and a celebration of style''s most enduring inspiration. It is said that over 80 percent of the planet have owned an item of denim clothing. We spend hours crafting the insouciant turn of a hem and the casual roll of a collar; we spend our hard-earned money on carefully weathered, faded denim. And here is our original inspiration: defined over 70 years ago by hard-working people in their hard-working labours in a timeless look that has never gone out of style. In black and white and colour, these are photographs of ordinary Americans relentlessly toiling - hands, face, boots and denim dirty - to push America out of the Great Depression into the prosperity of its post-War years. And all wearing the toughest utility fabric available to them - denim. Levi''s, Wrangler, Lee, OshKosh, Carhartt - all the iconic American brands and more are here on workwear overalls, jeans, jackets and shirts. Americans of every race, young and old - the images are reproduced here in exquisite print quality. In such context, the detail of the denim - heft of the weave; white stitching stark against blue; selvedge edges; turned-up hems - is seen as startingly modern. The photographs in this coffee table volume are taken from the archive of the Farm Security Administration and O''ce of War Information. The archive holds over 170,000 images and some of the most recognisable photographs of the twentieth century, such as Lange''s ''Migrant Mother''. Many more have rarely been seen. The archive holds well-known stories and untold histories, but it has never been looked at through the prism of fashion history before. An extraordinary feat of curation, 250 images have been discovered in the hidden depths of the archive to form this book. It is written and art-directed by denim historian and vintage-clothing expert Graham Marsh, who is responsible for the seminal publication, Denim: From Cowboys to Catwalk. Marsh places the photographs in their historical context and discusses the clothing with an infectious turn of phrase that is authoritative, humorous, and with an obsessive attention to detail. The treasure trove of images is edited by Tony Nourmand, who has a peerless curatorial ability to unearth priceless gems from archives both famous and unknown.

A little over ten years ago, Janine Marsh and her husband Mark gave up their city jobs in London to chase the good life in the countryside of northern France. Having overcome the obstacles of starting to renovate her dream home – an ancient, dilapidated barn – and fitting in with the peculiarities of her new neighbours, Janine is now the go-to expat in the area for those seeking to get to grips with a very different way of life.In the Seven Valleys, each season brings new challenges as well as new delights. Freezing weather in February threaten the lives of some of the four-legged locals; snow in March results in a broken arm, which in turn leads to an etiquette lesson at the local hospital; and a dramatic hailstorm in July destroys cars and houses, ultimately bringing the villagers closer together.With warmth and humour, Janine showcases a uniquely French outlook as two eternally ambitious expats drag a neglected farmhouse to life and stumble across the hidden gems of this very special part of the world________________Praise for Janine Marsh’s My Good Life in France:'Warm, uplifting, and effervescent ...

Following the top-ten bestselling success of A Battle Won, Under Enemy Colours and A Ship of War, Sean Thomas Russell''s captivating fourth novel Until The Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead is the maritime adventure of 2014. Under the command of Captain Charles Hayden, Royal Navy frigate HMS Themis is sent to counter the threat of the French forces in the West Indies. In the middle of the vast Atlantic, Hayden discovers two Spanish noblemen, castaway in a ship''s boat - a stroke of almost impossible good fortune. The Spaniards'' explanation for their plight seems so improbable that Hayden''s officers suspect them of being criminals or even spies. But they have secrets far more shocking than that - secrets which will haunt Hayden in his new posting. Upon reaching the Barbados station, Hayden finds himself under the command of the vainglorious Sir William Jones, an impetuous and foolhardy officer. Refusing orders will cost Hayden his command. Accepting them might cost him his ship and crew. UNTIL THE SEA SHALL GIVE UP HER DEAD is the brilliant fourth tale in the epic maritime adventures of Charles Hayden. A masterpiece already rivalling the stories of Bernard Cornwell and Patrick O''Brian. Praise for Sean Thomas Russell: ''Russell''s encyclopaedic command of nautical lore, joined to his rare ability to spin a ripping yarn, combine to place the reader right in the middle of the action, of which there is plenty'' Neal Stephenson ''Well-written, plenty of adventure . . . places the reader in the midst of the action of battle'' The Marine Society ''An impressive, sweeping and momentous naval epic'' Crew Report Sean Thomas Russell is a lifelong sailor whose passion for the sea - and his love of nautical history - inspired the adventures of Charles Hayden.

A playbook for decoding unspoken rules of work culture and accelerating up the corporate ladderEvery workplace operates on a set of unwritten norms that shape its internal culture. While business schools and management programs can provide excellent training in finance, marketing, strategy, and research methods, they rarely prepare students for how to discern these unspoken rules that are crucial for career mobility. Mastering the Corporate Chess Game is a playbook for deciphering these workplace norms, especially in the formative stages of one's career. Through an inspiring collection of relatable experiences, this book equips readers with the tools and mind-set to make their own moves as they advance in their organizations. Contributors from a variety of business sectors share personal stories that reflect on their early career challenges, beginning with particular puzzles or obstacles and culminating in a solution or a pivot—sometimes several in one career. Despite not knowing the norms, not knowing how to seek guidance, and not being prepared for frustration, each of these successful professionals provides practical strategies for decoding the unwritten rules of the workplace. Whether switching companies, transitioning fields, or launching entrepreneurial ventures, they reveal proactive steps for figuring out the rules of the "corporate chess game."Mastering the Corporate Chess Game will benefit young professionals eager to understand workplace dynamics, forge meaningful connections, and build collaborative teams.

Nechte se zlákat výběrem tajuplných japonských příběhů z pera slavného autora Lafcadia Hearna, které pro vás převyprávěl oceňovaný komiksový spisovatel Sean Michael Wilson! Ať vás baví duchařinky, nebo se chcete vzdělat japonskými pověstmi, které nezřídka přináší poučení na závěr, je tento komiks přímo pro vás. Najdete v něm šest povídek: Diplomacie: Jaká by byla vaše poslední myšlenka před rozsudkem smrti? A mohla by později něco ovlivnit? Sněžná žena: Setkání s tajemnou postavou uprostřed sněhové bouře se může změnit v něco víc. Otázka ovšem je, jestli vás ta změna nebude stát život. O zrcadle a zvonu: Darovat věc, která je vám drahá, s sebou může přinést neštěstí, nehledě na to, zda jste ji darovali pro vyšší dobro. Bezuchý Hoiči: Kdo by nechtěl umět vyprávět tak poutavě, že svými příběhy zaujme i mrtvé? Hoiči se pyšní různorodým publikem, nicméně velký talent může znamenat velké nepříjemnosti. Duch bez tváře: Dávejte si pozor během svých toulek na stezce! Brzy zjistíte, že je to velmi pochmurné a osamělé místo, kde se může ledacos stát. Samebitův vděk: Přátelství, které se zrodí mezi dvěma zcela odlišnými bytostmi, může vyústit v něco nečekaného. Dobrý přítel je ten, jenž pro vás neváhá uronit slzy.
