Men dominate history because men write history. There have been many heroes, but no heroines. This is the book that overturns that "phallusy of history," giving voice to the true history of the world — which, always and forever, must include the contributions of millions of unsung women. Here is the history you never learned — but should have!

Учебник предназначен для студентов биолого-почвенных факультетов университетов.

This fourth edition of Sir John Hale’s classic history of England and the Italian Renaissance includes a detailed introduction by Edward Chaney surveying scholarly developments since the book was first published.

Dortmunder should have never listened to his cohort, Andy Kelp, who says he's got a failsafe plan to pull off the perfect kidnapping. It's all laid out in a crime novel, claims Kelp. Dortmunder has doubts. He's right. Kelp takes poetic license. What's not in the book are the suffocating Mickey Mouse masks, the getaway car that won't fit in the truck, the ransom demand that's bumbled over the phone and especially not a precocious victim named Jimmy. When the plot thickens and the FBI closes in, the book goes out the window, along with little Jimmy and the loot. So much for happy endings.

"Comic and inventive. If criminals were anything like these hooligans, we'd all be safe." (The New York Times)
