Presents the stories of hustlers, con artists, drug dealers, burglars, and others, who describe their starts in crime, the day-to-day lives, their criminal activities, and the trials and rituals of prison life. By the author of Cops. 25,000 first printing. They lie, steal, kill and destroy. Cops chase them, Hollywood glamorizes them, and shrinks try to figure them out. Now, America's bad guys tell their own stories, from their childhoods to how they chose their victims to how they survive in prison. Mark Baker, the bestselling author of Nam and Cops, has gone behind the lines to find out why today's criminals started and why they won't stop. Their gritty, compelling tales are sometimes shocking, sometimes funny, and always bad to the bone.

On a sunny spring afternoon this year, winemaker Cristina Frolov was leading an impromptu tour through ridges of dried mud, gravel, and shoots of green at her family's winery in Moldova. The season's grape vines at Castel Mimi were just beginning to flower. The central Codru wine region, where the vineyard is located, is traditionally known for its white grapes. But Frolov explained that they've had success in recent years growing higher-value-added red varieties such as cabernet sauvignon. The interest from the West has enabled the wine industry to find a toehold in Europe and to ultimately stay afloat during the Russian ban; sales of bottled Moldovan wine in Western Europe actually grew 14% in 2014. While Russia continues to toy with the Moldovan economy's largest sectors, the general population, it seems, blames its own government, not Moscow, for the fiscal woes. In the meantime, Moldova's winemakers continue to hope for the best -- and to look for a way out of this geopolitical tug of war. Adapted from the source document.

SUMMARY:
В контексте исследований конструирования символических границ регионов, таких, как Восточная Европа, автор обращается к работам британского путешественника, солдата и писателя Чарлза Фредерика Хеннингсена. Британец скандинавского происхождения, Хеннингсен воевал в Испании и на Кавказе и участвовал в последней стадии восстания Лайоша Кошута. В своих трудах Хеннингсен впервые на английском языке описал "Восточную Европу", доводя до сведения широкой публики реориентацию деления европейского континента с оси Север-Юг на ось Запал-Восток, о которой писал Лэрри Вулфф. Хеннингсен осуждал деспотизм восточных монархий в Пруссии, Австрии, Турции и России. В тоже время, Хеннингсен не считал Восточную Европу единым целым и подробно описывал народы, населяющие континентальные империи. Более того, Хеннингсен верил в освобождение этих народов от власти господствовавших над ними государств и даже предлагал политическую программу для Западной Европы, которая должна была принять участие в историческом процессе освобождения этих народов от власти многонациональных империй.

For much of America's history, a certain fascination has existed in American culture with the lifestyle of the woodsman who made the hardwood wilderness his home. over time this fascination has given birth to a collection of romantic traits firmly identified with such a frontiersman. The requirements for survival in a deep wilderness forced the pre-American Revolution era woodsman turned long hunter, to be "Indian," to demonstrate a high level of marksmanship, and ultimately to draw most of his needs from the bounty of the forest. Such requirements tended to promote the popular conceptions surrounding the eastern frontiersman. Looking beyond those legendary traits, though, such a lifestyle was often an uphill path made only steeper by a rather monotonous diet, days spent in endless and mundane labor, and the threat of perpetual warfare born of political forces beyond his control.
