У книзі йдеться про військове мистецтво слов’ян часів їхнього «історичного дебюту». Динамічні зміни, що відбулися у слов’янському середовищі протягом кількох століть, значною мірою визначалися саме їх військовою активністю. Суто військові аспекти розглянуті на тлі особливостей побуту та соціального устрою слов’янських племен початку Середньовіччя, а також у загальному контексті подій Великого розселення слов’ян на європейських теренах. Внаслідок малої кількості джерельного матеріалу для реконструкції тогочасних подій та явищ автор залучав археологічний матеріал, відомості лінгвістики, етнографії тощо.

A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects - whether human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child's Teddy, grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility. Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg's signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to face with our fears and fantasies.

Mountains cover a quarter of the Earth’s land surface and a quarter of the global population lives in or adjacent to these areas. The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; and are often places for tourism and recreation and/or of sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price’s book Mountains and Man (1981) is both timely and highly appropriate. The past three decades have been a period of remarkable progress in our understanding of mountains from an academic point of view. Of even greater importance is that society at large now realizes that mountains and the people who reside in them are not isolated from the mainstream of world affairs, but are vital if we are to achieve an environmentally sustainable future.
