This network masks the identities of the individuals who benefit, aided by bankers, lawyers, and auditors who get paid to look the other way.In The Laundromat, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Jake Bernstein explores this shadow economy and how it evolved, drawing on millions of leaked documents from the files of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca - a trove now known as the Panama Papers - as well as other journalistic and government investigations. Bernstein shows how shell companies operate, how they allow the superwealthy and celebrities to escape taxes, and how they provide cover for illicit activities on a massive scale by crime bosses and corrupt politicians across the globe.The Laundromat offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises critical questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted.

With rock stardom off the table, he turns toward the only place where you can start from the bottom and move up through sheer merit, loyalty, and brute force - the yakuza.Saigo, nicknamed Tsunami , quickly realizes that even within the organization, opinions are as varied as they come, and a clash of philosophies can quickly become deadly. One screw-up can cost you your life, or at least a finger.The internal politics of the yakuza are dizzyingly complex, and between the ever-shifting web of alliances and the encroaching hand of the law that pushes them further and further underground, Saigo finds himself in the middle of a defining decades-long battle that will determine the future of the yakuza.Written with the insight of an expert on Japanese organized crime and the compassion of a longtime friend, investigative journalist Jake Adelstein presents a sprawling biography of a yakuza, through post-war desperation, to bubble-era optimism, to the present. Including a cast of memorable yakuza bosses - Coach, The Buddha, and more - this is a story about the rise and fall of a man, a country, and a dishonest but sometimes honorable way of life on the brink of being lost.

Traces the shifting dynamics within leftist activism in 1970s and â ™80s Europe and its experiments in art, life, and politics. The Ruin Dwellers takes readers into the urban spaces of youth revolts during the 1970s and â ™80s in West Germany and elsewhere in western and central Europe. Whereas earlier generations of leftist activists were primarily oriented toward the utopian future, participants in the youth movements of the 1970s and â ™80s developed a more complex set of temporal practices that sought to scramble the borders between the past, present, and future. Â Examining a rich corpus of radical texts and practices, historian Jake P. Smith shows that squatters and their leftist allies in this period engaged in social, cultural, and aesthetic experiments with modes of autonomous living. Smith brings to life the real and imagined landscapes conjured in squatted houses and street protests; in art, dress, music, graffiti, and film; and in philosophical, poetic, and political texts. In so doing, he offers an eye-opening look at anarchic world-making practices that found new ways of imagining an emancipated future through inhabiting the fractured past.

The Stone je, jak název napovídá, předurčen pro lov prostřednictvím montáží na dně. Měkká špičková akce přechází postupně do akce semiparabolické s brutálně silnou páteří. To je možné pouze při použití blanku se silnými stěnami. Takto koncipovaný blank nelze dělit klasicky na dvě stejně dlouhé části. Proto jsme použili koncept známý z mořského rybolovu, který jste rovněž mohly vidět a vyzkoušet u našeho Vertical Spin, tedy s dělením u držadla. Kromě ideální akce jsme chtěli vyvinout tenký blank s nízkou hmotností a zároveň obrovskou robustností. Každý, kdo zažije The Stone poprvé v akci, potvrdí, že jsme uspěli. Měkčí špička umožňuje velmi dobrou absorpci návnady a zajišťuje ideální detekci záběru. The Stone můžete velmi dobře použít pro Slag – Line rybaření. Při tomto způsobu lovu se kmenová šňůra úmyslně nechává povolená, aby vibrace způsobené větrem nebo proudem nemohly být transportovány až k nástraze, jako je tomu často u vyšponovaných kmenových šňůr.

This is a very unusual book. It brings to the English speaking reader a masterpiece written some 50 years ago by one of the greatest minds of the 20th century--Nicholai Aleksandrovich Bernstein--considered the founder of many contemporary fields of science such as biomechanics, motor control, and physiology of activity. Divided into two parts, this volume s first section is a translation of the Russian book On Dexterity and Its Development. It presents, in a very reader-friendly style, Bernstein s major ideas related to the development and control of voluntary movements in general, and to the notion of dexterity, in particular. Although very few scientific works remain interesting to the reader 50 years after they were written, this volume--now available for the first time in English--is a rare exception to this rule. His ideas are certainly not obsolete. Actually, we are just starting to grasp the depth and breadth of his thinking, especially his analysis of the complex notion of dexterity. The second section provides both a historical and a contemporary perspective on Bernstein s ideas. The original work was directed at a wide audience ranging from specialists in biomechanics and motor behavior, to coaches, neurologists, physical therapists, athletes, and even inquisitive college and high school students. The chapters contributed by contemporary scientists mirror Bernstein s style and present new findings in the areas of biomechanics, motor control, and motor development in a way that would be both understandable to non-specialists in these areas, and informative for professionals working in different areas related to human movement. All those interested in the origins and mechanisms of the production of voluntary movements, irrespective of their educational and professional background, will find this book valuable. In addition, the unique history and composition of this text will make it helpful and attractive to historians and philosophers of science.

Richard J. Bernstein je přední americký filosof, který propojuje americkou filosofickou tradici (pragmatismus a analytickou filosofii) s kontinentální (Kritickou teorií). Zároveň se osobně znal s Hannah Arendtovou a vedli spolu přátelské, ale zároveň i kritické diskuse. Jedná se proto o autora, který má všechny předpoklady pro napsání výborné knihy o Arendtové - a to se mu plně povedlo. Jak uvedl jeden recenzent, Bernsteinovu knihu ocení jak ti, kdo se teprve chystají na četbu samotné Arendtové, tak ale i ti, kdo už od ní všechno přečetli. Kromě obsahové stránky knihy je třeba vyzdvihnout i její stránku výkladovou. Osloví proto nejen odborníky, ale i studenty a širší veřejnost jakožto stručný a výstižný úvod do myšlení jednoho z největších politických myslitelů dvacátého století.

This is a brief introduction to the life, thought, work, and legacy of Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), but it is not a traditional biography. Public curiosity about Hamilton, his life, and his work has swelled, particularly among those intrigued by popular-culture portrayals in the Broadway musical Hamilton: An American Musical. This book presents a summary of Hamilton s life and explores his role in revolution, constitutionalism, economics, diplomacy, and war, as well as his relationship to honor culture and duelling. The epilogue considers Hamilton s legacies.The book considers Hamilton as a key founding father, focusing on his work as a politician, a constitutional thinker, and the nation s first secretary of the treasury. In that role, Hamilton was perhaps the leading American domestic policy-maker and nationalist. He led the effort to write the brilliant defense and exposition of the Constitution, The Federalist, and later, as treasury secretary, he pioneered efforts to interpret the Constitution broadly, as a generous grant of national power to the government of the United States. As part of that effort, he also pioneered expositions of the Constitution as a source of executive and judicial power. In addition, as a leading figure in the American world of honor culture, Hamilton was also a principal exponent of political combat in defense of personal and political honor. As such, he was a tragic victim of the honor culture he did so much to establish as a component of national politics, dying as the result of a mortal wound he suffered in his 1804 duel with Aaron Burr, his longtime antagonist and Vice President of the United States.Though not often an admired political figure in his own time, Hamilton was perhaps the leading and most enthusiastic exponent of American constitutional nationalism. In the more than two centuries since his death in 1804, Hamilton has continued to be the principal advocate of a nationalist reading of US constitutionalism.
