The Age of Anxiety
The Age of Anxiety is a great rock novel, but that is one of the less important things about it. The narrator is a brilliant creation - cultured, witty and unreliable. The novel captures the craziness of the music business and displays Pete Townshend's sly sense of humour and sharp ear for dialogue.
First conceived as an opera, The Age of Anxiety deals with mythic and operatic themes including a maze, divine madness and long-lost children. Hallucinations and soundscapes haunt this novel, which on one level is an extended meditation on manic genius and the dark art of creativity.

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.
Lacná kniha OWC Four Revenge Tragedies: Spanish Tragedy", "Revenger´s Tragedy", "Revenge of Bussy D´Ambois", "Atheist´s Tragedy" (Oxford World´s Classics)" (-70%)
The Revenge Tragedy flourished in Britain in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy helped to establish the popularity of the genre, and it was followed by The Revenger's Tragedy, published anonymously an
d ascribed first to Cyril Tourneur and then to Thomas Middleton. George Chapman's The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois and Tourneur's The Atheist's Tragedy appeared soon after. Each of the four plays printed here defines the problems of the revenge genre, o
ften by exploiting its conventions in unexpected directions. All deal with fundamental moral questions about the meaning of justice and the lengths to which victimized individuals may go to obtain it, while registering the strains of life in a rigid
but increasingly fragile social hierarchy. Under the General Editoriship of Dr Michael Cordner, of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is
a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.

A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth
For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place - covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. It has weathered fire and ice. Slimes begat sponges, who through billions of years of complex evolution and adaptation grew a backbone, braved the unknown of pitiless shores, and sought an existence beyond the sea.
From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens, life has persisted, undaunted. A (Very) Short History of Life is an enlightening story of survival, of persistence, illuminating the delicate balance within which life has always existed, and continues to exist today. It is our planet like you've never seen it before.
Life teems through Henry Gee's lyrical prose - colossal supercontinents drift, collide, and coalesce, fashioning the face of the planet as we know it today. Creatures are engagingly personified, from 'gregarious' bacteria populating the seas to duelling dinosaurs in the Triassic period to magnificent mammals with the future in their (newly evolved) grasp. Those long extinct, almost alien early life forms are resurrected in evocative detail. Life's evolutionary steps - from the development of a digestive system to the awe of creatures taking to the skies in flight - are conveyed with an alluring, up-close intimacy.
'A dazzling, beguiling story . . . told at an exhilarating pace' Literary Review
'Henry Gee makes the kaleidoscopically changing canvas of life understandable and exciting. Who will enjoy reading this book? - Everybody!' Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel

Én, Ozzy
"A buli nagyszerűen alakult. A nagy kéz hibátlanul működött, és már a törpét is felakasztottuk.
Aztán egyszer csak felrepült a színpadra az a denevér a közönség soraiból.
Nyilván egy játék - gondoltam, így hát felemeltem a fénybe, és eszelősen rávicsorogtam, miközben Randy szólózott. A nézők teljesen beindultak.
Aztán azt tettem, amit máskor is, ha gumijátékot dobtak a színpadra.
HAMM.
De rögtön éreztem, hogy valami baj van. Nagy baj.
Kezdjük ott, hogy a szám azonnal megtelt valami meleg, nyúlós folyadékkal, aminek az elképzelhető legrosszabb utóíze volt. Éreztem, hogy összekeni a fogaimat, és végigcsorog az államon.
Aztán összerándult a számban a fej.
Ó, bassza meg - gondoltam. Csak nem ettem meg egy kibaszott denevért... ugye, nem?
Kiköptem a fejet, elnéztem oldalra, és megláttam Sharont. Dülledt szemmel hadonászott, és azt sikoltozta:
- NEEEEEEEEEEE, OZZY! EZ IGAZI, EZ IGAZI!"
