Малцина биха повярвали, че е възможно вековната история на Европа да бъде разказана в един кратък том. Но Саймън Дженкинс се справя блестящо с това предизвикателство със своята ерудиция и умение да отсява най-важното от безбройните възможни истории за разказване.От Древна Гърция и могъщата Римска империя, през Тъмните векове, Ренесанса и епохата на революциите, та до Просвещението и повратния за континента XX век, започнал с ужасите на двете световни войни, но продължил с безпрецедентен период на мир и постепенно обединение в немислим досега съюз.

От войната за независимост до Тръмп. Американската мечта се ражда от бляновете, труда и саможертвата на заселници, бунтовници, търговци, визионери и пилигрими, които и за миг не подозират, че заедно полагат основите на най-богатата и могъща държава в историята. От корабите на Колумб и „Мейфлауър“, през Бостънското чаено парти, Декларацията за независимост и държавническия гений на бащите-основатели, Саймън Дженкинс проследява раждането на една страна, изградена върху свобода, амбиция, но и компромиси, насилие и неутолимо желание за промяна. С прецизно умение да обобщава сложни и противоречиви събития, Дженкинс ... |

The Fight for the World`s Most Critical Technology. Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naïve assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests. ... |
