The Science of Can and Cant
A luminous guide to how the radical new science of counterfactuals can reveal the full scope of our universe
There is a vast class of properties, which science has so far neglected, that relate not only to what is true - the actual - but to what could be true: the counterfactual. This is the science of can and can't.
A pioneer in the field, Chiara Marletto explores the extraordinary promise that this revolutionary approach holds for confronting existing technological challenges, from delivering next-generation processors to designing AI. But by contemplating the possible as well as the actual, Marletto goes deeper still, showing how counterfactuals can break down barriers to knowledge and form a more complete, abundant and rewarding picture of the universe itself.
The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry
Reflecting the voices of poets, soldiers, the families they left behind and their comrades who would never return, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, previously published as In Flanders Fields, is edited with an introduction by George Walter in Penguin Classics.
Unrivalled for its range and intensity, the poetry of the First World War continues to have a powerful effect on readers. This anthology reflects the diverse experience of those who lived through the war - bringing together the words of poets, soldiers and civilians affected by the conflict. Including famous verses from Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen; pieces by less well-known writers such as Gilbert Frankau and Osbert Sitwell; works by women describing the emotions of those at home; and the anonymous lyrics of soldiers' songs, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry offers a blend of voices that is both unique and profoundly moving.
This collection has been arranged thematically, moving through the war's different stages from conscription through to its aftermath, to offer the reader a variety of perspectives on the same common experiences. George Walter's introduction discusses the role and scope of First World War poetry anthologies, and how the canon has changed over the years. This edition also contains notes and biographies.
George Walter is Lecturer in English at Sussex University. His research interests are 20th-century literature; madness and creativity; constructions of Englishness; the cultural impact of the First World War. He has edited editions of the poet Ivor Gurney's work for Everyman and Fyfield Books.

The Strange Case of Mortimer Fenley
When John Trenholme, artist, accepted a welcome commission from a magazine editor to journey down to a certain old Hertfordshire village and make a series of sketches of its imperiled beauties, he looked forward to nothing more exciting than an agreeable, wholly peaceful little expedition. Certainly he did not in the least expect to get mixed up with a murder, and to find himself one of the most important witnesses in "The Strange Case of Mortimer Fenley."

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – A fiúknak, akiket valaha szerettem
Írás közben egy csöppet sem fogom vissza magam. Úgy fogalmazok, mintha ő soha nem olvasná el. Merthogy nem is olvassa. Minden egyes titkos gondolatomat, gondos megfigyelésemet, mindent, amit eltettem magamban, belesűrítem egy levélbe. Amikor megírtam, lezárom, megcímezem, majd elteszem a pávakék kalapdobozba.
Ezek nem szerelmes levelek a szó legszorosabb értelmében. Akkor íródnak, amikor már nem akarok többé szerelmes lenni. Búcsúlevelek. Mert miután megírtam őket, nem emészt többé a mindent felemésztő szerelem. Onnantól fogva úgy tudom megenni reggel a gabonapelyhet, hogy közben nem azon jár az eszem, vajon ő is banánnal szereti-e a Cheeriost. Úgy éneklem a szerelmes dalokat, hogy már nem neki éneklem. Ha a szerelem olyan, mint a megszállottság, a leveleim olyanok, mint az ördögűzés. Megszabadítanak. Legalábbis azt kéne tenniük.

Metazoa: Animal Minds And The Birth Of Consciousness
The scuba-diving philosopher explores the origins of animal consciousness.
Dip below the ocean's surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals and flower-like worms, whose rooted bodies and intricate geometry are more reminiscent of plant life than anything recognisably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom - the Metazoa - they can teach us about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.
In his acclaimed book, Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith explored the mind of the octopus - the closest thing to an intelligent alien on Earth. In Metazoa, he expands his inquiry to animals at large, investigating the evolution of experience with the assistance of far-flung species. Godfrey-Smith shows that the appearance of the first animal body form well over half a billion years ago was a profound innovation that set life upon a new path. He charts the ways that subsequent evolutionary developments - eyes that track, for example, and bodies that move through and manipulate the environment - shaped the lives of animals. Following the evolutionary paths of a glass sponge, soft coral, banded shrimp, octopus and fish, then moving onto land and the world of insects, birds and primates like ourselves, Metazoa gathers these stories together to bridge the gap between matter and mind and address one of the most important philosophical questions: what is the origin of consciousness?
Combining vivid animal encounters with philosophy and biology, Metazoa reveals the impossibility of separating the evolution of our minds from the evolution of animals themselves.

A ketrec. The Prison Healer 2
Kiva Meridan igazi túlélő. Nemcsak a Zalindov börtönét élte túl, hanem a halálos Végzet Próbáját is. Most azonban többre vágyik a túlélésnél - eljött a bosszú ideje. Az utóbbi tíz évben más célja sem volt, mint ismét együtt lenni a családjával, és elpusztítani azokat, akik tönkretették az életüket. De kiszabadulása után a küldetése minden korábbinál bonyolultabbá vált. Ahogy Kiva megkezdi új életét a fővárosban, rádöbben, hogy a testvérei is megváltoztak fogsága alatt. Így hát Kivának az ellenségei és a családja előtt is titkolóznia kell. Nő a feszültség, a lázadók gyülekeznek, az északi királyságok pedig egyre nagyobb fenyegetést jelentenek. Lassan maga Kiva se tudja, kihez legyen hűséges. Hogy túlélhesse, Kivának még azelőtt ki kell igazodnia saját hazugságain, hogy mindent elveszítene.
As a Thief in the Night
Harold Monkhouse is usually such an uncomplaining patient so when his brother Amos calls in one night, what he doesn't expect is to see him at death's door. Suspicions aroused, he demands an urgent second opinion. And when Harold is later found dead from arsenic poisoning, Amos is left in no doubt that foul play is afoot. The inquiry begins and Barbara Monkhouse is soon singled out as the prime suspect. What ensues is a roller coaster ride into crime fiction at its best as the truth of the fateful night eludes even the best of detective minds. Could it be a simple case of wife poisoning husband-or is it just possible that another shadowy figure stole into Harold's room, as a thief in the night, to rid the world of an innocent man?
