Иван Александрович Гончаров (1812–1891) – выдающийся русский писатель и литературный критик. Член-корреспондент Петербургской академии наук по разряду русского языка и словесности, действительный статский советник. В сборник создателя хрестоматийного «Обломова» вошли аудиоверсии двух повестей, полных юмора и тонких наблюдений за жизнью современного автору общества. Герой «Лихой болести» приезжает в гости к своим знакомым Зуровым. Слух о том, что их тяга к загородным прогулкам обрела характер нездоровой страсти, он воспринимает как пустой наговор, ведь прочие соседи-помещики, не в пример Зуровым, ленивы и инертны. Как же он заблуждается! Повесть «Счастливая ошибка» – типичная комедия положений. Иногда и неверный шаг может вывести к удаче. Помещик Андрей Адуев после размолвки со своей возлюбленной испытывает это на себе. Вы заинтригованы? Хотите знать подробности? Слушайте! – Лихая болесть – Счастливая ошибка

В учебной и научной литературе отсутствуют теоретические объяснения механизмов функционирования финансовых центров, нет и разработок условий их становления и развития. Вашему вниманию предлагается учебное пособие, состоящее из пяти разделов, призванное восполнить имеющиеся пробелы. Финансовые центры рассматриваются как высшая и территориально организованная форма финансового посредничества, ведущий элемент глобального оборота финансового капитала и благоприятная для работы транснациональных корпораций городская среда. Мировые финансовые центры – это сложный мир не только экономических коммуникаций. Узловые пункты и линии обмена – денежные, кредитные, финансовые, фондовые, товарные, банковские и биржевые – составляют неповторимую среду обитания столиц капитала. Но не менее важными являются люди в соответствующем городском пространстве с его архитектурой и транспортом, сложившейся культурной средой и качеством жизни. Для бакалавров и магистров, изучающих кредит, финансы, инвестиции, экономический рост, а также международные экономические отношения и мировое хозяйство.

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition offers a practical, problem-based approach to colour physics. The book focuses on the key issues encountered in modern colour engineering, including efficient representation of colour information, Fourier analysis of reflectance spectra and advanced colorimetric computation. Emphasis is placed on the practical applications rather than the techniques themselves, with material structured around key topics. These topics include colour calibration of visual displays, computer recipe prediction and models for colour-appearance prediction. Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to aid student understanding. First, theoretical ideas and background information are discussed, then explanations of mathematical solutions follow and finally practical solutions are presented using MATLAB. The content includes: A compendium of equations and numerical data required by the modern colour and imaging scientist. Numerous examples of solutions and algorithms for a wide-range of computational problems in colour science. Example scripts using the MATLAB programming language. This 2nd edition contains substantial new and revised material, including three innovative chapters on colour imaging, psychophysical methods, and physiological colour spaces; the MATLAB toolbox has been extended with a professional, optimized, toolbox to go alongside the current teaching toolbox; and a java toolbox has been added which will interest users who are writing web applications and/or applets or mobile phone applications. Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition is an invaluable resource for students taking courses in colour science, colour chemistry and colour physics as well as technicians and researchers working in the area. In addition, it acts a useful reference for professionals and researchers working in colour dependent industries such as textiles, paints, print & electronic imaging.

The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global, cross-cultural perspective. 

This third edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest research and developments, including the rise of Big Data, AI, and the Internet of Things. The book’s case studies and pedagogical material have also been extensively revised and updated to include such watershed events as the Snowden revelations, #Gamergate, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, privacy policy developments, and the emerging Chinese Social Credit System.

New sections include “Death Online,” “Slow/Fair Technology”, and material on sexbots. The “ethical toolkit” that introduces prevailing ethical theories and their applications to the central issues of privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online, has likewise been revised and expanded. Each topic and theory are interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions, additional resources, and suggestions for further research and writing. Together, these enable readers to foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these issues and their possible resolutions.

Retaining its student- and classroom-friendly approach, Digital Media Ethics will continue to be the go-to textbook for anyone getting to grips with this important topic.
