В 1950–1970 гг. у нас была самая сильная разведка за всю историю советского, да и, пожалуй, российского государства. Особенно если говорить о разведке, работавшей под крышей военной дипломатии. На этот период выпали главные достижения разведки – помощь нашим ученым в обретении секретов ядерного оружия, проникновение в натовские штабы, добывание рецептов твердого топлива для наших ракет и т. д. Многие сведения были получены с помощью военных, военно-воздушных и военно-морских атташе, прошедших дорогами Великой Отечественной и ушедших на новую войну, названную холодной. Другие разведчики работали «под крышей» торгпредства, кто-то Интуриста, кто-то Аэрофлота, но все они занимались одним делом – разведкой. Один из разведчиков сказал автору: «Мы не мерзли на холодной войне. Работа была слишком горячая». Эти слова стали ключом к названию новой книги Михаила Болтунова.

I have selected it as the first of those to be described, because I have witnessed it the most frequently, because it is the most interesting to the Caucasian spectator, and because it is the best known to the whites who visit and reside in and around the Navajo country."

The 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition set off to explore how it might be possible to get to the vicinity of Mount Everest, to reconnoiter possible routes for ascending the mountain, and – if possible – make the first ascent of the highest mountain in the world. A feasible route was discovered from the east up the Kharta Glacier and then crossing the Lhakpa La pass north east of Everest. It was then necessary to descend to the East Rongbuk Glacier before climbing again to Everest's North Col. Initially the expedition explored from the north and discovered the main Rongbuk Glacier, only to find that it seemed to provide no likely routes to the summit. However, at the time it was not realised that the East Rongbuk glacier actually flowed into the Rongbuk glacier – it was thought it descended away to the east. As a reconnaissance the expedition was a success because it determined that a good route might be to approach the East Rongbuk glacier via the Rongbuk glacier, and then follow the North Col route to the summit.

Because of Nietzsche's evocative style and provocative ideas, his philosophy generates passionate reactions. His works remain controversial, due to varying interpretations and misinterpretations of his work. In the Western philosophy tradition, Nietzsche's writings have been described as the unique case of free revolutionary thought, that is, revolutionary in its structure and problems, although not tied to any revolutionary project. Some prominent elements of his philosophy include his genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality; the related theory of master–slave morality; the characterization of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power; and influential concepts such as the Übermensch and the doctrine of eternal return.

The South Pole is a book by Roald Amundsen and it represents an interesting first-hand account of the Norwegian expedition's successful attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911. Amundsen spends a great deal of time talking about logistics and placing of depots in preparation for his polar attempt all the way from the preparation leading up to the initial sea voyage, the voyage itself and then the establishing of a camp at the Antarctic. Although they were lucky with the weather, and Amundsen attributed the success of the expedition to «good luck», it is obvious that the Norwegian expedition was well prepared and ready for the troubles ahead; the equipment, the sledges with well-trained dogs, the supply depots with seal meat at regular intervals along the route, the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness; it was all thought of in advance.

Странность этого маршрута была не в его обыденности… А в том, что за время его проведения дважды за сезон мне «повезло» сбиться с курса. К этому времени у меня был уже большой стаж работы в разных регионах Заполярной Якутии – и в Забайкалье, и на Колыме, и в Верхоянье, и на Сибирской платформе. И не только в пеших маршрутах, но и на вездеходах ГАЗ-47 и 71, и даже наш первый ГТТ перегнать из поселка Жиганск на реке Лене на реку Оленек, где была наша полевая подбаза (а это 1000 км), довелось мне.

This eBook edition of «The Critique of Pure Reason» has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The Critique of Pure Reason is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy and marks a turning point and the beginning of modern philosophy. Also referred to as Kant's «first critique,» it was followed by the Critique of Practical Reason and by the Critique of Judgment. In the preface to the first edition, Kant explains what he means by a critique of pure reason: «I do not mean by this a critique of books and systems, but of the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience.» Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher, who, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is «the central figure of modern philosophy.» Kant argued that fundamental concepts of the human mind structure human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of our understanding, and that the world as it is «in-itself» is unknowable. Kant took himself to have effected a Copernican revolution in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth.
