Сергей Горяинов – эксперт алмазного отраслевого информационного агентства Rough-Polished. В течение ряда лет входил в состав Совета по информационной политике акционерной компании АЛРОСА («Алмазы России – Саха»).
В книге «Битвы алмазных баронов» мировой алмазный рынок рассматривается как своеобразный «испытательный полигон», на котором англо-саксонские элитарные надправительственные структуры отрабатывали стратегию управления миром.
Зачем корпорация «Де Бирс» снабжала алмазами Третий Рейх, почему Советский Союз выполнял роль послушного сателлита англо-саксонских корпораций на глобальных сырьевых рынках, кто и как уничтожил «надежду белой расы в Африке»? Взгляд на алмазный рынок как на инструмент эффективного политического моделирования и прогноза позволяет найти ответы на эти вопросы.

Stanislavski was the first person to develop a cogent and practical system of acting. Throughout his life he sought the answers to such fundamental questions as: "What is great acting?" and "How can you find inspiration in every performance?" Stanislavski remains the most important influence on actor training today, and yet many of his ideas are little known, or even misunderstood. Stanislavski For Beginners charts the development of the Stanislavski system. It includes a clear exposition of the key elements of the system and explores his Method of Physical Actions, which he worked on in the years before his death, and which he called "the result of my whole life's work."

Where will you go when the trouble starts? For countless people around the world, the answer is that bomb shelter down in the basement. In fact, people from around the work have been building shelters to protect themselves from catastrophe -- natural disaster, war, nuclear events -- for centuries. Waiting for the End of the World is photographer Richard Ross's journey into this quirky, somewhat paranoid, and occasionally beautiful underground world. Ross has documented not only the bomb shelters of the United States, but also examples from Vietnam, Russia, England, Turkey, and even Switzerland, where citizens are required by law to have a bomb shelter. Ross's subjects include the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, where a shelter was built to house the entire U.S. Congress, shelters in Beijing, where the Chinese built a complete city underground, and Hittite shelters in Eastern Turkey built some 4,000 years ago. His ethereal images show spaces that at once provide only the barest necessities for survival but maintain a level of idiosyncratic personality that testify to the endurance -- and wackiness -- of the human spirit.
