The modern aircraft carrier is without doubt one of the most
exciting and hazardous operating environments in the field of
warfare. The ‘flattop' is a symbol of global military power without
parallel, and it remains a capability beyond reach of all but the
most well equipped navies. With the detail, precision and accuracy
expected of Harpia Publishing, this latest volume provides a force
report of the various air components and associated vessels fielded
by those select nations that field fixed-wing-capable aircraft
carriers. While the United States maintains a carrier fleet the
size of which is almost incomparable to that of its rivals, the
coverage of this book also extends to the smaller nations that only
possess a single carrier: Brazil, France, Russia and Spain.
Meanwhile, full coverage is given over to the navies that are in
the process of expanding their burgeoning carrier aviation
capabilities, through the introduction of new, indigenously
designed carriers and aircraft, namely the Asia-Pacific rivals
China and India. Within Europe, chapters are devoted to Italy,
currently with two carriers in commission, and the United Kingdom,
which will make a historic return to carrier aviation this year.
Since the scope of this volume extends to navies operating any
carrier that routinely embarks fixed-wing air power, US Navy
amphibious assault ships and US Marine Corps aviation assets are
also included. Drawing upon a cadre of authors who are experts in
their field, Carrier Aviation in the 21st Century continues
Harpia's reputation for providing unprecedented detail and
extensive technical specifications, as well as detailing the
structure of all the air arms and the individual units that
currently embark on board carriers. Illustrations include specially
commissioned artworks and diagrams to help illustrate how carrier
air power remains an essential element of modern warfare.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
