Slowly but surely the coastline of Britain is being worn away by an advancing sea. The country which once ’ruled the waves’ now is being ruled by them, with huge forces threatening to destroy vast areas of human and wildlife habitat. Already some of Britain’s last wild, natural areas have disappeared, and experts fear that this is just the beginning. It is estimatedthat there will be a 38—55 cm rise in average sea levels by the year 2100. According to the Department of the Environment, during the next 50 years at least 10,000 hectares of farmland will be turned into mud flats and salt marshes by the increases in sea levels. Rather than trying to prevent the erosion, the present government is using a method of ’managed retreat’ by creating new defences further inland and allowing low-lying coastal farm land be abandoned to the sea. However, many of the country’s major cities could also be affected. London, Bristol and Cardiff all are expecting severe flooding as our sea defences are being destroyed by the rising tides.

Книга рассказывает о том, как были дешифрованы забытые письмена и языки. В основной части своей книги Э. Добльхофер обстоятельно излагает процесс дешифровки древних письменных систем Египта, Ирана, Южного Двуречья, Малой Азии, Угарита, Библа, Кипра, крито-микенского линейного письма и древнетюркской рунической письменности. Таким образом, здесь рассмотрены дешифровки почти всех забытых в течение веков письменных систем древности.
Сборник посвящен Зиновию Паперному (1919–1996), известному литературоведу, автору популярных книг о В. Маяковском, А. Чехове, М. Светлове. Литературной Москве 1950-70-х годов он был известен скорее как автор пародий, сатирических стихов и песен, распространяемых в самиздате. Уникальное чувство юмора делало Паперного желанным гостем дружеских застолий, где его точные и язвительные остроты создавали атмосферу свободомыслия. Это же чувство юмора в конце концов привело к конфликту с властью, он был исключен из партии, и ему грозило увольнение с работы, к счастью, не состоявшееся – эта история подробно рассказана в комментариях его сына.
В монографии рассматриваются рецепции буддизма в русской литературе конца XIX – начала XX в. – отражение в ней буддийских идей, мотивов, реминисценций.

В данном ракурсе анализируется творчество Л. Н. Толстого, И. А. Бунина, К. Д. Бальмонта, Д. С. Мамина-Сибиряка, И. Ф. Анненского, М. А. Волошина, В. Хлебникова. Книга адресована историкам и философам культуры, религиоведам, культурологам, филологам.
В книге подробно анализируется процесс становления новейшей китайской литературы, а также развития ее направлений и жанров – от «ста школ» и «культурной революции» до неореализма и феминистского творчества. Значительное внимание Чэнь Сяомин уделяет проблемам периодизации, связи литературы и исторического процесса, а также рассуждениям о сути самого термина «новейшая литература» и разграничении между ней и литературой «современной». Эти и другие вопросы рассматриваются автором на примере наиболее выдающихся произведений, авторов и школ второй половины XX века.
