English Plus, 2nd Edition Starter - Workbook
The Workbook includes exercises in grammar, vocabulary and skills, which mirror the language and skills work in the Student's Book pages.
There are three levels of practice activities: one-star activities provide basic revision and language manipulation; two-star activities involve more productive exercises; and three-star activities are more open and offer more challenge.
There is a two-page Progress review at the end of each unit. These exercises check understanding of all the vocabulary, grammar and skills presented in the unit. They also provide a record of what has been learned in the unit.
The Self-evaluation section encourages students to think about their progress. This type of activity is also very helpful in students' development as learners because it encourages them to take responsibility for their own learning.
There is a listening exercise in every Progress review. The audio for this is available on the online Practice Kit.

100 Quotes by Baruch Spinoza (EN)
Baruch Spinoza has been called the Prince of Philosophers; Hegel said of him that the alternative was: either Spinoza, or no philosophy at all. By laying the groundwork for the 18th-century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism, including modern conceptions of the self and the universe, he came to be considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy: he had the courage to criticize the traditionalism of religion, to offer a conception of God that would be logic instead of rigidly defined by a shallow dogma.

All Things Natural
Ficino's commentary on Plato’s Timaeus offers the English reader, for the first time, an opportunity to share the insights of this highly influential Renaissance philosopher into one of Plato's most important and controversial works. Here are discussed the perennial questions which affect us all: What is the nature of the universe? How did it begin? Does it have a cause outside itself? What is our place in it? What is the nature of mind, soul, matter and time?
The central portion of the work, focusing on number, harmony, and music, has exerted a strong influence on the history of Western musical theory. Ficino added an appendix which amplifies and elucidates Plato’s meanings and reveals fascinating detail about Ficino himself.
This volume provides rich source material for all who are interested in philosophy, the history of cosmic theory, and Platonic and Renaissance studies.
This completes the four-volume series, including Gardens of Philosophy, 2006 (ISBN 978-0-85683-240-6), Evermore Shall Be So, 2008 (978-0-85683-256-7) and When Philosophers Rule, 2009 (978-0-85683-257-4), which contain all Ficino’s commen-taries not previously translated into English.
Arthur Farndell is one of the world’s leading translators of Renaissance philosophy, having worked for many years on the translations of The Letters of Marsilio Ficino, eight volumes of which have been published by Shepheard-Walwyn to date.

Lacná kniha Excavating Kafka (-90%)
Kafka's features, and that dreaded word, Kafkaesque, are known to millions who have never read serious literature. Generations of academics and critics have maintained the image of Franz Kafka as a tortured seer whose works defy interpretation. In Excavating Kafka James Hawes reveals the truth that lies beneath the image of a middle-European Nostradamus with a typographically irresistible name. The real Franz Kafka was no angst-ridden paranoid but a well-groomed young man-about-town who frequented brothels, had regular sex with a penniless-but-pretty girl and subscribed to upmarket pornography (published by the very man who published Kafka's first stories). Excavating Kafka debunks a number of key facets of the Kafka-Myth, including the idea that Kafka was the archetypal genius neglected in his lifetime; that he was stuck in a dead-end job and struggling to find time to write; that he was tormented by fear of sex; that he had a uniquely terrible, domineering father who had no understanding of his son's needs; that his literature is mysterious and opaque; that he constructs fantasy-worlds in which innocent everymen live in fear of mysterious and totalitarian powers-that-be. Written with the panache of a supremely gifted comic writer, Excavating Kafka is an engaging and involving reassessment of a major figure of literary modernism that will be welcomed and enjoyed by students of Kafka and by general readers alike.

Dune
Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune, the first book in one of the greatest science fiction series ever written.
Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis.
Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe.
When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred to his house, Paul Atreides must travel to the planet's dangerous surface to ensure the future of his family and his people. But as malevolent forces explode into conflict around him, Paul is thrust into a great destiny beyond his understanding.
And in this game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

To Stand And Stare
Reconnect with nature from the ground up and nurture not only your garden but your soul.
There's a lot of gardening advice out there. But none that invites you to think about how to be while you're in your garden. With increasingly busy lives, yet another list of chores seems like the last thing we need when it comes to our own practice of self-care and relaxation. After all, aren't these the things we wanted to escape to the garden for in the first place? What if there was a more low-intervention way to garden, some reciprocal arrangement through which both you and your soil get fed - with minimum fuss, effort and guilt on your part, and the maximum measure of healthy, organic growth for your garden?
In To Stand and Stare, Andrew Timothy O'Brien weaves together strands of botany, philosophy and mindfulness to form an ecological narrative suffused with practical gardening know-how. Informed by a deep understanding and appreciation of natural processes, O'Brien encourages the reader to think from the ground up, as we follow the pattern of a plant's growth through the season - roots, shoots, and fruits - while advocating an increased awareness of our surroundings.
Mélyalkalmazkodás
"Szükséges azt megérteni, hogy az emberek jó része nem áll készen a felismerésre... és talán soha nem is fog. Rejtély, hogy ki képes elviselni a valóság súlyát, és ki menekül előle úgy, mintha az élete múlna azon, hogy nem vesz róla tudomást. És valóban, az élete múlhat rajta." (Catherine Ingram)
2018-ban megjelent és nagy vihart kavart tanulmányában Jem Bendell professzor rámutatott arra, hogy a világ tudományos közösségének többsége azon az állásponton van, hogy jelenlegi gazdasági, társadalmi és politikai rendszereink kellően rugalmasak ahhoz, hogy képesek legyenek alkalmazkodni a hatalmas kihívásokhoz, és így változatlanul fennmaradjanak. Jem Bendell megalkotta a "mélyalkalmazkodás" fogalmát, annak a gondolatkörnek a leírására, amely a fentiekkel ellentétben elfogadja, hogy természeti és humán rendszereink összeomlása egy valós lehetőség, már a mi életünk folyamán. A magyar nyelven is elérhető tanulmány azokat a személyes és közösségi vonásokat tárja fel, amelyek segítenek az esetleges társadalmi zavarokra és összeomlásra való felkészülésben, és a folyamattal való együttélésben.
Ennek a tanulmánynak a folytatása és kiteljesedése ez a Jem Bendell és Rupert Read által szerkesztett könyv, amely megismerteti az olvasót a mélyalkalmazkodás filozófiájával. Ez az út egy lehetséges módja annak, hogy megértsük a minket körülvevő világ rendkívül összetett helyzetét, valamint segíthet abban, hogy az emberek újraértékeljék és megtalálják, ami valóban fontos az életükben, miközben az őket körülvevő társadalom szétesik saját katasztrófáinak súlya alatt.

Making Numbers Count
How many hours' worth of songs are on your Spotify Wrapped this year?
How much is your commute time really worth?
How do you work out how likely you are to get Covid based on the official statistics?
How do your viewing hours track against the most popular shows on Netflix?
Whether you're interested in global problems like climate change, and understanding that the Australian wildfires destroyed an area twice the size of Portugal, or just grasping how few people have washed their hands between visiting the bathroom and touching your hands, this book will help math-lovers and math-haters alike translate the numbers that animate our world. Until recently, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five. While the numbers in our world have become increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. Yet the ability to communicate and understand numbers has never mattered more. So how can we effectively translate numbers and stats so that the data comes alive? Drawing on years of research into making ideas stick, Chip Heath and Karla Starr outline six critical principles that will give anyone the tools to communicate numbers with more transparency and meaning. Using concepts such as simplicity, concreteness and familiarity, the authors reveal what's compelling about a number and show how to transform it into its most engaging form.
Descartes – An Introduction (EN)
René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: ‘I think, therefore I am’, has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.
