A seminal work in international communication, examining news reports, civic discourse, and images of Africa in Russian press. This book is about power and influence, politics and communication across frontiers--a thoroughly challenging analysis of Russia's foray into African and international communication. The book penetrates the intellectual, social, cultural, political, geographical, and historical aspects of the relationship between the African continent and Russia, before, during, and after the Cold War. The book is well-researched and up-to-date. The study was conducted within the framework of Russian geo-political interests, the belligerent ideological determinism of the Communist era, the implosion of historical materialism, and the delicate post-communist path to democracy, capitalism, and reconstruction. The book will appeal to a global audience of journalists, scholars, political scientists, historians, cultural and social critics, policy makers, and the general public.

Two important theologians of early Christianity were Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo. Both were intellectually formed by philosophers, such as Cicero, who taught that virtue was the way to greatness. Yet they saw contradictions between Roman and Christian ethical ideals. Could these competing visions of greatness be reconciled?

Since his elevation to Red Bull in 2014, Daniel Ricciardo has cemented himself as one of Formula One¿s most exciting talents. He has established a reputation for brilliant one-lap speed, thrilling overtaking and a competitive spirit that has helped him claim some of the most exhilarating race victories in the sport¿s recent history. The self-styled `Honey Badger¿ has done it all with a smile, displaying the infectious personality that has made him one of the most popular drivers on the grid. Starting with Ricciardo¿s rise in Formula One, this book gives a race-by-race account of the highs, the lows, the controversies and the triumphs. Featuring 150 dynamic colour photographs that take you to the very centre of the action, this is a brilliant insight into the excitement and drama of Formula One, and one of its most popular superstars.

In this book Yousuf Karsh, whose great photographic portraits have revealed so vividly the outstanding personalities of our time, writes about his own life and work. It is the story of an Armenian immigrant boy who rose to be the world's finest portrait photographer, whose pictures, reproduced in newspapers, magazines, and books, and shown in museums, art galleries and exhibitions, have been admired by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Of his early years in Armenia, Karsh gives a brief but compelling account, writing without bitterness but not sparing the reader the impact on his youthful mind of the brutalities, massacres, and atrocities of that time. The dramatic impression made on him by his first experiences as a young citizen of Sherbrooke, Quebec. His several years of study in Boston with the famous photographer, Garo, show the gradual development of his ideas and skills in portraiture. In 1932, Karsh opened his own studio in Ottawa, capital city of Canada, and there he met Solange Gauthier, the volatile, charming, and practical Frenchwoman whom he married. Together they established his world-wide reputation. Karsh takes the reader with him to his sittings, and shows how he seeks to bring out the essence of the personalities he is portraying. The reader accompanies Karsh and Madam Karsh as they travel to Washington, New York, Hollywood, across Canada and to the Arctic, and on their European tours, photographing and interviewing statesmen, tycoons, artists, actors, musicians, popes, presidents, and kings. At Karsh's side, the reader hears Churchill's lion roar, the wit of Bernard Shaw, the bark of John L. Lewis, the profound accents of Einstein. He observes the grave serenity of Sibelius, and hears the noble 'cello of Casals. He shares in the problems and disappointments of securing adequate reproduction of the portraits in book form, and in the artist's gratification when Portraits of Greatness, printed by the finest gravure for the University of Toronto Press, appeared in 1959 and the magnificent volume became an immediate best-seller. Yousuf's profession has led him into the high places of the world, and this book is enriched by his twenty years of observation of the celebrities he has encountered. These are the experiences of a distinguished artist, a gifted raconteur, and a delightful human being.

Excerpt from Lessons in Search of Greatness: Or Stepping Down the Ladder Scene I. Lawn of Simon Pure, Esq. Prof. Phrenology examines his head, and he is cutting Wm. Stover's hair. Simon Pure, Esq. - My father wants me to become a farmer; yes, I am to drive these "cussed" oxen, and work in that stone quarry after I have hauled all the stones to the lime-kiln! Oh! I am blasted mad! I could bite a log chain in two! [Looks raving mad.] Father imposes all the dirty work upon me, and when I hurry all week to get everything finished by Saturday noon, so I can prepare for a little courting fun at old Steinmetz's; he - my ignorant father - says: Simon you are a good boy to have hurried with the work, now go to bed early to-night, because you must be tired! Then, you ought to see my insides kicking and rumbling with aggravated rage! Yes, I get so fiery indignant that I could kill everything before me! [Raves.] Damnation! Accursed be the dirty farm work! I'll search for greatness, if I rot in the attempt! [Cools down.] Well, well, I must do something that will make me great! [Enter Prof. Phrenology.] Halloo! there's a fine looking man, I wonder what he does for a living! [To him.] Say, Mr. Man, what are you doing for a living, you have such smooth hands and soft head? Prof. Phrenology. - [Aside.] Curse the little whipper-snapper. [To him.] Sir, I am an itinerant Phrenologist. S. P., Esq. - [Aside.] Itin-rant-phrenol-gist. What is that I wonder! Can it be a preacher? I'll try and find out. [To him.] Say, nice-looking, Mr. Itin-rant-phrenol-gist, what do you do for a living - Prof. P. - Have I not told you, my young man, that I am a Phrenologist. S. P., Esq. - [Aside.] Now, he is a Phrenol-gist. But a while ago he was the other thing. [To him.] What do you do for a living?
