Quantum theory is one of science's most thrilling, challenging and even mysterious areas. Scientists such as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger uncovered bizarre paradoxes in the early 20th century that seemed to destroy the fundamental assumptions of 'classical physics' - the basic laws we are taught in school. Notoriously difficult, quantum theory is nonetheless an amazing and inspiring intellectual adventure, explained here with patience, wit and clarity."

An erudite investigation of the philosophical and cultural movement that prioritises individual experience.

Jak se vyvíjela lidská mysl? Jak se člověk v této oblasti odlišuje od svých vývojových předchůdců? Je-li člověk založen na sobeckých genech, proč je tak kooperativní? Mohou být rozdíly mezi psychologií muže a ženy vysvětleny z evolučního pohledu? Tyto a další otázky jsou v centru zájmu vědeckého oboru, jež se nazývá evoluční psychologie. Kniha Evoluční psychologie je srozumitelným a zábavným úvodem do této nové discipliny. Předkládá klíčové poznatky evoluční biologie, kognitivní psychologie, ale i antropologie nebo archeologie, které evolučním psychologům pomáhají lépe pochopit, jaká je lidská přirozenost.

Lenin is the key to understanding the Russian Revolution. His dream was the creation of the world's first Socialist state. It was a short-lived dream that became a nightmare when Stalin rose to absolute power in 1929. Lenin was the avant-garde revolutionary who adapted Marxist theory to the pravtical realitites of a vast, complex and backward Russia.

How did the mind evolve? How does the human mind differ from the minds of our ancestors, and from the minds of our nearest relatives, the apes? If our minds are built by selfish genes, why are we so cooperative? These questions are at the centre of a research programme called evolutionary psychology.

Stephen Hawking is de bekendste theoretisch natuurkundige van onze tijd, maar buiten zijn vakgebied is er weinig bekend over zijn werk. Voor velen is hij een legendarische figuur, tragisch gekluisterd aan een rolstoel en niet in staat om te spreken of te schrijven. Hawking heeft zich de twee grote natuurkundige theorieën van deze eeuw eigen gemaakt: Einsteins algemene relativiteitstheorie en de quantummechanica. Hij deed adembenemende ontdekkingen over waar deze theorieën falen of samenkomen, zoals bij zwarte gaten of de oerknal. Dit boek, geïllustreerd door de bekroonde striptekenaar Oscar Zarate, biedt een unieke benadering van Hawking's werk. Het mengt tekst met strip- en cartoonwerk, waardoor belangrijke theorieën zoals Newtons mechanica, elektromagnetische straling en de relativiteitstheorie toegankelijk worden. Beroemde fysici en kosmologen worden als strippersonages gepresenteerd, die de gebeurtenissen van hun onderzoek en symposia tot leven brengen. Gesprekken met Hawking en andere wetenschappers vormen de basis van dit boek, dat op een boeiende en heldere manier inzicht biedt in complexe fysische en astronomische verschijnselen, zoals zwarte gaten en quasars. Het is interessant voor een breed publiek, van beginners tot insiders.

The Beginner Books -- "Their cartoon format and irreverent wit make difficult ideas accessible and entertaining." -- Newsday Everything you need to know about neurosis, libido, ego, and id -- but somehow it slipped your mind. Freud for Beginners is a perfect introduction to the life and thought of the man whose discovery of psychoanalysis revolutionized our attitudes towards mental illness, religion, sex, and culture. This documentary cartoon book plunges us into the world of late-nineteenth-century Vienna in which Freud grew up. We explore his early background in science, his work as a therapist, his encounter with cocaine, and his theories on the unconscious, dreams, the Oedipus Complex, and sexuality. We meet his family, his friend and enemies, and his patients -- The Rat Man, Anna O., Little Hans -- and we get an insider's view as the psychoanalytic movement is launched. The zany art and probing text do an extraordinary job of simplifying Freud without trivializing him.

"Mafija za početnike" prati porijeklo i razvoj mafije, od njenih korijena u seoskoj sredini Sicilije 19. stoljeća, preko njena prodora u u SAD početkom 20. stoljeća, pa sve do današnjih, suvremenih oblika organiziranog kriminala. Arnd Schneider, antropolog, i Oscar Zarate, legendarni strip-crtač, predstavljaju taj zanimljiv sociološki fenomen u posve originalnoj i duhovitoj formi.

Moore and Zarate collaborate on a graphic novel full of irony and tension. Adman Timothy Hole is about to get a crack at the the big one: selling the diet drink sensation Flite to the U.S.S.R. Except someone wants him dead. Little murders, tiny betrayals, the small homicides with which we ease the passage of our lives - these are the stuff of 'A Small Killing'.
