David Brown Knihy

Od počátku války v roce 1939 do jejího konce v roce 1945 se letectvo Královského námořnictva přeměnilo ze zanedbatelné v mohutnou strategickou zbraň. Letadla startující z britských letadlových lodí bojovala po celém světě. David Brown ve své knize podrobně popisuje jeho boje u Domácího loďstva, ve Středomoří, v Atlantském, Indickém i Tichém oceánu. Stranou nezůstávají ani operace sil, vytvořených pro zvláštní jednorázové operace. Dále jsou analyzovány operace loďstva v Pacifiku mezi lety 1941 a 1945, kdy se odehrávala největší námořní bitva všech dob. Námořnictva jak USA, tak císařského Japonska sledovala operace Britů v raných stadiích války a vzala si z nich ponaučení. Ameriští letci a námořníci se v průběhu bojů rychle učili, až se koncem března 1945 5. flotila námořnictva Spojených států spolu s námořní pěchotou staly nejvýkonnějším a nejefektivnějším válečným nástrojem, použitým v době před svržením atomových bomb na Hirošimu a Nagasaki. Předkládaná publikace představuje vrchol snažení jednoho z nejvýznamnějších historiků námořního letectva. Kniha je doplněna četnými ilustracemi a tabulkami, uvádějícími letadla a jednotky na jednotlivých letadlových lodích v průběhu té které válečné operace. Spolu s živým a poutavým vyprávěním tvoří jednu z nejpozoruhodnějších knih o 1. svazku, popisujících operace letadlových lodí Velké Británie, USA a Japonska v průběhu 2. světové války.

"When the prolific British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) died at the age of 76, his contemporaries held a generally negative view of his recent work, describing it as indulgent, eccentric, and even repulsive. But over the past century, a number of curators and critics have reassessed Turner's late paintings. Instead of finding his employment of shimmering color to evoke light unpleasant or unskilled, they have seen it as a precursor to the Impressionists and consider his use of abstraction to be distinctly modern. In this elegantly conceived volume, leading experts on Turner consider these contrasting views of the artist in a groundbreaking exploration of his paintings. They examine his notes and sketchbooks to determine whether his health may have impacted his art and how Victorian views of old age influenced perceptions of the elderly artist. They also question the notion that Turner's late work articulated a conclusive, radical vision heedless of public reaction, for evidence makes clear that he had a firm idea of the art market in his day."--Publisher's description

Having amused and bemused millions across the globe, Groucho Marx had a hilarious opinion on every subject and a radical riposte for every occasion. This biography covers such subjects as his childhood and family, women and love, marriage and divorce, and politics and wealth. Born in New York in 1890 to a French mother and German father, Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx began his stage career at 15, and after many disappointments and much perseverance, he enjoyed his first success alongside his brothers in a Broadway show in 1924. More successful stage shows followed until his clever word-play and unique wit began to spread to a much wider audience through his many films, books, and radio shows. Entertaining and informative, this account quotes Marx's works, providing a fascinating insight into this unique individual—arguably the 20th century's greatest comedian.
