Название: Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Astronomy explores the exciting hunt for low frequency gravitational waves by using the extraordinary timing precision of pulsars. The book takes the reader on a tour across the expansive gravitational-wave landscape, from LIGO detections to the search for polarization patterns in the Cosmic Microwave Background, then hones in on the band of nanohertz frequencies that Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are sensitive to. Within this band may lie many pairs of the most massive black holes in the entire Universe, all radiating in chorus to produce a background of gravitational waves. The book shows how such extra-Galactic gravitational waves can alter the arrival times of radio pulses emanating from monitored Galactic pulsars, and how we can use the pattern of correlated timing deviations from many pulsars to tease out the elusive signal.

There exist many wonderful books on landscape photography, but this one invites the reader to aim higher via EPIC Landscape Photography. “Story is the soul of the work,” Aristotle reminds us, and as the soul alone is immortal, we must shoot for the soul so as to create lasting art. Dr. E invites the photographer to see themselves as a participant in a greater story, as they seek to photograph the soul of the landscape so as to exalt its poetry—its Epic Spirit--in art. Sergio Leone stated that the greatest writer of Westerns was Homer, and is it no wonder then, that the landscape photography in his film The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was most Epic? It is because he was shooting for the grand, Homeric soul, and so too shall we.

О Таганке в ранний период писали видные советские критики, чьи свидетельства не потеряли своей документальной и эстетической ценности (некоторые из них включены в книгу, разумеется, без ведома их авторов). Совершенно несовершенным, однако, оставался последний, наиболее драматический этап, когда власти наложили на театр ”табу” и вынудили к изгнанию его создателя и главного режиссера Юрия Любимова.
В книге сделана первая попытка систематизировать материал и рассказать о наиболее нашумевших спектаклях театра, обрисовать особую московскую атмосферу вокруг него. Как это было не раз в России, например, с театром В.Мейерхольда, о Таганке еще будут писать, когда она уже закончит свой путь, многое уточнится, дополнится.
Мне же хотелось уже сегодня, пока театр еще кое-как дышит, сохранить в памяти и передать те волнения, чувства и мысли, которые будило в нас, ее современниках, смелое и острое искусство Таганки.
