A dramatic new telling of the dawn of modern East Asia, placing Korea at the center of a transformed world order wrought by imperial greed and devastating wars. In the nineteenth century, Russia participated in two “great games”: one, well known, pitted the tsar’s empire against Britain in Central Asia. The other, hitherto unrecognized but no less significant, saw Russia, China, and Japan vying for domination of the Korean Peninsula. In this eye-opening account, brought to life in lucid narrative prose, Sheila Miyoshi Jager argues that the contest over Korea, driven both by Korean domestic disputes and by great-power rivalry, set the course for the future of East Asia and the larger global order. A vivid story of two geopolitical earthquakes sharing Korea as their epicenter, The Other Great Game rewrites the script of twentieth-century rivalry in the Pacific and enriches our understanding of contemporary global affairs, from the origins of Korea’s bifurcated identity―a legacy of internal politics amid the imperial squabble―to China’s irredentist territorial ambitions and Russia’s nostalgic dreams of recovering great-power status.

Ведущие эксперты в области архитектуры программного обеспечения Вон Вернон и Томаш Яскула показывают, как принимать взвешенные архитектурные решения, основанные на необходимости и цели, а не на хайпе, чтобы повысить ценность и инновационность, создать более эволюционирующие системы и избежать дорогостоящих ошибок. На реалистичных примерах они показывают, как создавать хорошо спроектированные монолиты, которые можно обслуживать и расширять, и как постепенно перепроектировать и реализовать даже самые запутанные унаследованные системы в действительно эффективные микросервисы.

From 1932 until his death in 1990, Hal Draper was a prolific Marxist writer and socialist organizer who successfully combined rigorous research and passionate outrage to assess his political era. In this still-indispensable collection of essays written in the 1950s and 60s, Draper grapples with the role of the United States in the world, situating post-war American imperialism in a global picture of capitalist competition and expansion. The essays in this volume include Draper’s discussions of the United States' involvement in Guatemala, Guam, Samoa, Cuba, Vietnam, and elsewhere, as well as his, more general, socialist guide to national liberation movements.
