Afghanistan : How the West Lost Its Way
In October 2001, NATO forces invaded Afghanistan. Their initial aim, to topple the Taliban regime and replace it with a more democratic government aligned to Western interests, was swiftly achieved. However, stabilizing the country in the ensuing years has proven much more difficult. Despite billions of dollars in aid and military expenditure, Afghanistan remains a nation riddled with warlords, the world's major heroin producer, and the site of a seemingly endless conflict between Islamist militants and NATO forces.In this timely and important book, Tim Bird and Alex Marshall offer a panoramic view of international involvement in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2011. Tackling the subject matter as a whole, Bird and Marshall weave together analysis of military strategy, regional context, aid policy, the Afghan government, and the many disagreements between and within the Western powers involved in the intervention. Given the complicating factors of the heroin trade, unwelcoming terrain, and precarious relations with Pakistan, the authors acknowledge the ways in which Afghanistan has presented unique challenges for its foreign invaders. Ultimately, however, they argue that the international community has failed in its self-imposed effort to solve Afghanistan's problems and that there are broader lessons to be learned from their struggle, particularly in terms of counterinsurgency and the ever-complicated work of'nation-building.'The overarching feature of the intervention, they argue, has been an absence of strategic clarity and coherence.

Король капитала. История невероятного взлета, падения и возрождения Стива Шварцмана и Blackstone
Книга повествует о Blackstone — крупнейшей в мире частной инвестиционной компании и о впечатляющем восхождении ее на деловой Олимп. Это не очередная американская история успеха, а летопись финансовой революции, преобразившей Уолл-стрит и оказавшей значительное влияние на мировую экономику. Авторы — известные американские журналисты, специализирующиеся на освещении событий, происходящих на рынке прямых инвестиций и рынке слияний и поглощений, — воссоздают хронику поразительного превращения Шварцмана из скромного банковского служащего в мультимиллиардера, «короля капитала». На основании изложенных фактов читатели смогут составить собственное представление о том, действительно ли Blackstone и подобные ей участники рынка прямых инвестиций используют приобретаемые компании для собственного обогащения или, наоборот, укрепляют их и делают конкурентоспособными. Книга будет интересна широкому кругу читателей.

Coasts in Crisis A Global Challenge
I have always lived within a few minutes, or at most an hour, from a shoreline. The coast of California has been home for most of my life, but sabbatical research combined with travel, time as a Fulbright scholar, and teaching on several voyages of the Semester-at-Sea program have given me opportunities to study or observe portions of the coasts of forty-six nations.

Afghanistan: The Afghan Papers, Troop Levels and Lessons Learned
The United States has been in Afghanistan for almost 19 years. It is the longest war in the history of the United States. The mission of U.S. forces in Afghanistan has evolved considerably since 2001, when the United States initiated military action against Al Qaeda and the Taliban government that protected the group in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The United States needs to decide whether to continue America's longest war and what the mission in Afghanistan is today.

Как найти идеальную для инвестора компанию
На протяжении двенадцати лет, с 1981 по 1993 год, я была невесткой Уоррена Баффета, самого успешного в мире инвестора и величайшего филантропа. Вскоре после того, как я вышла замуж за сына Уоррена, Питера, и задолго до того, как мир за пределами Уолл-стрит услышал об Уоррене, я посетила дом их семьи в Омахе. Там я встретила небольшую группу преданных учеников великого мастера-инвестора, которые называли себя баффетологами. Один из них, Дэвид Кларк, сохранил тщательно сделанные записи с мыслями Уоррена об инвестициях. Эти заметки явились основой для наших с ним совместных книг, ставших впоследствии международными бестселлерами: «Дао Уоррена Баффета», «Баффетология», «Практическая баффетология» и «Новая баффетология», которые опубликованы на семнадцати языках, включая иврит, арабский, китайский и русский.

Afghanistan: U.S Policies, Legislation and Key Issues
Afghanistan has been a significant U.S. foreign policy concern since 2001, when the United States, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, led a military campaign against Al Qaeda and the Taliban government that harbored and supported it. In the intervening 18 years, the United States has suffered approximately 2,400 military fatalities in Afghanistan, with the cost of military operations reaching nearly 133 billion for reconstruction. In that time, an elected Afghan government has replaced the Taliban, and most measures of human development have improved, although Afghanistan's future prospects remain mixed in light of the country's ongoing violent conflict and political contention.
