With the advent of liquid modernity, the society of producers is transformed into a society of consumers. In this new consumer society, individuals become simultaneously the promoters of commodities and the commodities they promote. They are, at one and the same time, the merchandise and the marketer, the goods and the travelling salespeople. They all inhabit the same social space that is customarily described by the term the market. The test they need to pass in order to acquire the social prizes they covet requires them to recast themselves as products capable of drawing attention to themselves. This subtle and pervasive transformation of consumers into commodities is the most important feature of the society of consumers. It is the hidden truth, the deepest and most closely guarded secret, of the consumer society in which we now live. In this new book Zygmunt Bauman examines the impact of consumerist attitudes and patterns of conduct on various apparently unconnected aspects of social life politics and democracy, social divisions and stratification, communities and partnerships, identity building, the production and use of knowledge, and value preferences. The invasion and colonization of the web of human relations by the worldviews and behavioural patterns inspired and shaped by commodity markets, and the sources of resentment, dissent and occasional resistance to the occupying forces, are the central themes of this brilliant new book by one of the worlds most original and insightful social thinkers.

В этой книге представлено два романа известного писателя-исто­рика Геннадия Левицкого.

Роман «Сокровище тамплиеров» рассказывает о событиях XII века, когда сбылась мечта христиан всего мира. Первый крестовый поход закончился отвоеванием Святой земли, и теперь, оказавшись в Палестине, люди Запада с воодушевлением ищут вещи, связанные с земной жизнью Иисуса Христа, ведь эти святыни обладают особой силой. Животворящий Крест принес рыцарям победы во многих битвах. Копье, пронзившее Иисуса, спасло от гибели Антиохию и армию крестоносцев, а затем в руках тамплиеров оказывается хитон Иисуса.

Роман «Мечта конкистадора» переносит читателя в более позднюю эпоху – эпоху покорения Америки.

Сокровище тамплиеров

Искусственный интеллект уже влияет на нашу жизнь и работу. Одним из самых доступных ИИ стал ChatGPT — помощник, способный генерировать тексты, анализировать данные и помогать в решении задач. Чтобы эффективно использовать ИИ, важно направить его возможности правильно.

На помощь приходят фреймворки — проверенные структуры мышления и действий, применяемые в маркетинге, управлении, IT и других сферах. 

Сочетание ИИ и фреймворков создаёт мощный синергетический эффект: нейросеть обрабатывает информацию и генерирует идеи, а фреймворк направляет их в нужное русло. Вместе они образуют эффективный тандем — фреймворк задаёт рамки, ИИ наполняет их содержанием.

Эта книга — практическое руководство по использованию фреймворков с ChatGPT. Вы научитесь создавать точные промпты, получать структурированные ответы, автоматизировать процессы и повышать продуктивность в любой сфере.

Добро пожаловать в мир  где технологии работают на вас благодаря стратегии и структуре.

This volume offers lively current debates and case studies in historical archaeology selected from around the world, including North America, Latin America, Africa, the Pacific, and Europe. Authored by 19 experts in the field. Explores how historical archaeologists think about their work, piecing together information from both material culture and documents in an attempt to understand the lives of the people and societies they study. Engages with current theory in an accessible manner. Truly global in its approach but avoids subsuming local experiences of people into global patterns. Summarizes not only the current state of historical archaeology, but also sets the course for the field in decades to come.

Historical Archaeology

Design and Development of Biological, Chemical, Food and Pharmaceutical Products has been developed from course material from the authors’ course in Chemical and Biochemical Product Design which has been running at the Technical University Denmark for years. The book draws on the authors’ years of experience in academia and industry to provide an accessible introduction to this field, approaching product development as a subject in its own right rather than a sideline of process engineering In this subject area, practical experience is the key to learning and this textbook provides examples and techniques to help the student get the best out of their projects. Design and Development of Biological, Chemical, Food and Pharma Products aims to aid students in developing good working habits for product development. Students are challenged with examples of real problems that they might encounter as engineers. Written in an informal, student-friendly tone, this unique book includes examples of real products and experiences from real companies to bring the subject alive for the student as well as placing emphasis on problem solving and team learning to set a foundation for a future in industry. The book includes an introduction to the subject of Colloid Science, which is important in product development, but neglected in many curricula. Knowledge of engineering calculus and basic physical chemistry as well as basic inorganic and organic chemistry are assumed. An invaluable text for students of product design in chemical engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and product development. Uses many examples and case studies drawn from a range of industries. Approaches product development as a subject in its own right rather than a sideline of process engineering Emphasizes a problem solving and team learning approach. Assumes some knowledge of calculus, basic physical chemistry and basic transport phenomena as well as some inorganic and organic chemistry.

Design & Development of Biological, Chemical, Food and Pharmaceutical Products

From the Foreword by Rob Smith, Director of Estates and Facilities (NHS England), Department of Health ‘The built environment for the delivery of Healthcare will continue to change as it responds to new technologies and modalities of care, different expectations and requirements of providers and consumers of care. It is vital that built environment students and practitioners alike avail themselves of the best possible information to guide them in their studies, continuing professional development and the delivery of their tasks. The range is enormous from the assessment of need, planning the service delivery to design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operation of the healthcare environment. The book that follows addresses these areas from a blend of contributions of experienced practitioners to the descriptions of the output from recent research that moves forward the frontiers of knowledge and practice in the many areas of the healthcare built environment. I happily commend this book to all engaged in the exciting fields of planning, delivering, maintaining and operating healthcare environments. When we get it right, we are able to do immeasurable good.’ This book helps academic researchers as well as practitioners to understand how the healthcare infrastructure sector works by addressing the crucial issue of healthcare delivery from a built environment perspective. It explains the trends in healthcare, models of healthcare delivery; healthcare planning; the NHS building and investment programmes; the procurement process; and facilities management; financial models – including PFI and LIFT; risk allocation and partnering. Past investigations in the area of healthcare delivery have concentrated on either the medical aspects or the design issues of buildings but Improving Healthcare through Built Environment Infrastructure is unique in considering the ‘meeting space’ of built environment technologies and modern methods of procurement with the medical and operational needs of healthcare settings. The authors have brought together key industrialists and academics, all heavily involved in the formulation and delivery of new practices. Case studies illustrate how policies and healthcare models are implemented in practice and help identify the key challenges for the future.
