Описание: Israeli jets and missiles rained down their revenge for the kidnapping of two members of the Israeli Defence Force by the political Islamist group Hezbollah, in
the form of over 5000 air strikes. This resulted in not only the deaths of over 600 Lebanese civilians but also an almost complete destruction of the country's infrastructure: schools,
roads, hospitals and homes. In total Hezbollah launched 2500 rockets into Israel, resulting in the deaths of 36 Israeli civilians, and the wounding of hundreds more.
Paolo
Pellegrin (Magnum Photos) and journalist Scott Anderson were in Lebanon during the conflict, on assignment for "The New York Times". Pellegrin's photographs intimately capture the
fear and powerlessness of the Lebanese population in the face of the ceaseless Israeli air strikes, revealing the terror and despair of families and friends witnessing the d
aths of their loved ones, whilst around them their homes were destroyed. In particular, Pellegrin also documented the aftermath of the attack on the village of Qana in southern Lebanon;
many of the victims children, his photographs reveal the immense suffering of the civilians involved.
Alongside his work exposing the consequences of indiscriminate attacks
on a civilian population is a 3000-word account by Scott Anderson, who accompanied Pellegrin in Lebanon. Pellegrin and Anderson were both wounded in a missile attack by an Israeli
drone, which fired on their vehicle as they traveled through the city of Tyre. Along with the civilians of southern Lebanon, they were stranded for weeks under heavy bombing and air
strikes by the IDF.
The attack at Qana, also the second one to strike the village in living memory, soon after prompted the singer Patti Smith to respond in the form of a song,
entitled 'Qana', the words and music of which will form her contribution to the book.

"With deft prose and page after page of keen insights, Heffernan shows why we close our eyes to facts that threaten our families, our livelihood, and our self-image--and, even better, she points the way out of the darkness." --Daniel H. Pink
In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Margaret Heffernan's Willful Blindness is a tour de force on human behavior that will open your eyes.
Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and say, How could we have been so blind? Why do some people see what others don't? And how can we change? Drawing on studies by psychologists and neuroscientists, and from interviews with business leaders, whistleblowers, and white collar criminals, distinguished businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan examines the phenomenon of willful blindness, exploring the reasons that individuals and groups are blind to impending personal tragedies, corporate collapses, engineering failures-even crimes against humanity.
We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety, and to protect prestige. But greater understanding leads to solutions, and Heffernan shows how-by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicated problems-we can be more mindful of what's going on around us and be proactive instead of reactive.

Описание: Herbert James Draper (1864-1920) was one of the most successful painters of classical mythologies and elegant portraits, in the period between the turn of the 20th century and the advent of World War I. His pictures are the archetypes of the Victorian classical revival; dramatic and sensually charged sujects of beautiful maidens and dynamic heroes, very similar in style and subject matter to J.W. Waterhouse. Born in London, Draper studied at the St John's Wood School of art and in 1884 gained admission to the RA Schools. In 1889 he won a Royal Academy scholarship, and travelled extensively around Europe. When he returned to England he established a studio in Kensington. He exhibited at the RA every year from 1887 until shortly after his death in 1920. Neglected for well over half a century, Draper's work has finally been reassessed. He is now regarded as one of the last great painters of classical narratives in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. "Herbert Draper: A Life Study" is a complete study of Draper's art and life, largely based on previously unstudied material in private archives. Many of the pictures reproduced in this book for the first time are in private collections and have not been exhibited since Draper's death. This book traces the steps of one of the last pilgrims of classicism. A catalogue raisonne of all Draper's paintings, drawings, book illustrations and decorative works is also included.
