A Scheherazade for our time. What if everything we thought about power was wrong? What if, in the ancient story of the shepherd boy who topples a giant, David actually had the advantage? This thought sets Malcolm Gladwell on an extraordinary journey that takes him from art to basketball, the brain to revolutions, along the way weaving unforgettable stories of misfits, outsiders, tricksters and underdogs who have faced outsized challenges and won. With his trademark warmth, humour and gift for showing us the world through new eyes, Gladwell lets us see why the powerful aren't always what we think they are — and that some of us have more strength and purpose than we could ever imagine. |

From Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to contemporary Israel with its problems and conflicts, this lavish volume takes a fascinating journey through Jewish history. It chronicles the religion's principles and beliefs; key figures and events; and the diversity of Jewish culture that arose as, exiled from their homeland, they dispersed both east and west. Fifteen breathtaking rare facsimile documents include pages from the Vienna Genesis, the oldest illustrated Biblical codex; a letter describing one of the Russian pogroms in 1881; and a copy of David Ben Gurion's speech declaring Israel's independence in 1948. |

The Loft, which originally constituted a type of clandestine life, has become a concept applicable to large, renovated spaces, where the existing structure has been incorporated into everyday architecture. Consequently, old factories, storage areas and warehouses are being transformed to create homes and offices, or commercial studios and shops. The original architecture of these spaces is characterized by the use of materials such as concrete, aluminum, marble and wood, with smooth walls and large doors and windows. The decoration in lofts emphasizes simplicity, adaptability and functionality to create open-plan spaces, with separate rooms being formed using folding screens, medium-height walls or simply pieces of furniture. There are currently two trends: constructing new homes in the style of lofts, and recycling and re-using those already built as a further step in the development of sustainable architecture. |

Our first book on the applications of density functional theory in compositional hydrodynamics was published in Russian in 2009. Since then we observed a steady rise of interest to our approach. Also during the last four years we acquired much more experience and obtained many new numerical results. The present book is an update to the state-of-the-art in density functional hydrodynamics. It is written in English to be accessible to wider audience. This book is essentially about various multiphase hydrodynamic problems studied in the frame of the density functional method. This approach is a logical extension of classical thermodynamics and continuous media theory. The derivation of the governing equations is presented, and the consistency with both classical and quantum statistical mechanics is demonstrated. Several explicit density functionals are used to describe different types of continuous media. Among them there are models for equilibrium and nonequilibrium two- and three-phase compositional mixtures, mixtures with surfactants, and mixtures with mobile elastic bodies. Numerous numerical simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the density functional method. Among them there are very simple problems such as modeling of contact angle and capillary pressure in two- and three-phase cases. There are also more complex scenarios with capillary waves, moving contact lines, changing topology of interfaces, multiphase flows in complex geometries, instabilities, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transitions, surfactant effects, thermocapillary effects, flows with moving elastic bodies, and two-phase turbulence. Being an overview of the results accumulated over the last almost 20 years, the book can be a good starting point in studying the density functional theory in compositional hydrodynamics. The book is intended for PhD students, academic and industrial researchers interested in modeling complex behavior of compositional fluids. |
