Ни один жест не остался без внимания: мимика, позы, манеры, походка, взгляд – авторы дают полную расшифровку всех телодвижений, по которым можно легко разгадать настоящие чувства и мысли окружающих. В книге множество фотографий мировых знаменитостей, которые в данном случае используются в качестве своеобразных «учебных пособий». Эта книга научит вас «читать любого человека как книгу», выбирать правильную линию поведения, чувствовать себя уверенно и непринужденно в любой ситуации, противостоять манипуляциям, принимать самые верные решения и в итоге добиваться успеха.

«Кочкари» – так прозвали Советскую Армию в погранвойсках после боев за остров Даманский в 1969 году, когда наши пограничники в одиночку сражались против китайцев и несли тяжелые потери, в то время как армейцы получили приказ не вмешиваться в боевые действия, чтобы локальный конфликт не перерос в полномасштабную войну, и поневоле «прятались за кочки»… Братство по оружию было восстановлено лишь 10 лет спустя в Афганистане, где «зеленым фуражкам» довелось не только охранять советские рубежи по обе стороны границы и наносить упреждающие удары по бандам моджахедов, чтобы не допустить вражеских прорывов на нашу территорию, но и участвовать в крупных войсковых операциях, таких, как штурм неприступной базы «духов» в Мармоле, которую не смогла разгромить 40-я армия, а пограничники разгромили! 10-тысячная группировка погранвойск, носивших общеармейскую форму и знаки различия, имела зону ответственности до 100 км вглубь Афганистана. В их десантно-штурмовых, аэромобильных и мотоманевренных группах никогда не было ни «дедовщины», ни дезертиров, а самым страшным наказанием считалось отстранение от участия в боевых действиях и отправка обратно в Союз. Только убитыми погранвойска КГБ СССР потеряли в Афгане 518 человек – недаром Среднеазиатский пограничный округ в те годы прозвали «воюющим». И вышли «зеленые» из Афганистана последними – уже после того, как генерал Громов объявил: «Всё! За моей спиной нет ни одного советского солдата!» Эта книга освещает последние «белые пятна» в истории Афганской войны и органов государственной безопасности СССР, в состав которых всегда входили погранвойска.

From the earliest days of motoring, car manufacturers used motor sport as a proving ground for the machines, but the sport earned an image far beyond that of a mere engineering laboratory. Even before the 20th century dawned, motor racing had a reputation as an arena where almost gladiatorial battles were set before a public only recently accustomed to seeing a motor car of any kind. As motor sport developed from the great days of the inter-city road races to closed road circuits and eventually to purpose-built tracks, it became visually one of the most sensational sports in the world. This is the story of motor racing as it once was, from the early days to the fifties; the story of those Olympians who bestrode the track — from Jenatzy and Boillot, Campbell and Caracciola, to Ascari, Fangio and Moss — and of their cars — the Alfas, Mercedes, Maseratis and Ferraris — giants all of another, more compelling age.
