    For millennia, lions, tigers and their man-eating kin have kept our dark, scary forests dark and scary and their predatory majesty has been the stuff of folklore. But by the year 2150, big predators may only exist on the other side of glass barriers and chain-link fences. Their gradual disappearance is changing the very nature of our existence. We no longer occupy an intermediate position on the food chain; instead we survey it invulnerably from above - so far above that we are in danger of forgetting that we even belong więcej...

In exploring the everyday artefacts of Darwin's life, his notebooks and early manuscripts, Niles Eldredge provides a rare glimpse into the mind of this highly intuitive, creative scientist. The celebration of Darwin's 200th więcej...

    Every so often, a startling book emerges that gives voice to a new or previously unexamined societal trend. Alan M. Dershowitz's provocative new work, "Preemption", is just such a book, chronicling a paradigm shift in America's approach to controlling destructive conduct. As he reveals, America is moving - whether in its manner of fighting crime or in its response to terrorism - towards more preventive and proactive approaches, and away from primary reliance on deterrent and reactive responses. Although, the events więcej...

    From philosopher Leszek Kolakowski, one of the giants of twentieth-century intellectual history, comes this highly infuential study of Marxism. Written in exile, this 'prophetic work' presents, according to the Library of Congress, 'the most lucid and comprehensive history of the origins, structure, and posthumous development of the system of thought that had the greatest impact on the twentieth century'. Kolakowski traces the intellectual foundations of Marxist thought from Plotonius through Lenin, Lukacs, Sartre and Mao więcej...

    The story of modern architecture is told here through the lives and works of three men who changed the face of the cities we live in: France's Le Corbusier, Germany's Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and America's Frank Lloyd Wright. Virtually no modern office building, apartment house, or private home constructed today would look the way it does but for the influence of these men. Le Corbusier gave to modern design a sure and brilliant sense of form; Mies brought an almost Gothic discipline of structure; and Wright heralded a więcej...

But in many nations where the population has exploded in recent decades, birth rates remain high, and populations will likely double or triple in he next half-century. Nevertheless, these nations are showing the early signs of "demographic fatigue"–a slowdown in population growth due not to smaller families but to increasing death rates.The więcej...

    Rescued from obscurity, Feynman's Lost Lecture is a blessing for all Feynman followers. Most know Richard Feynman for the hilarious anecdotes and exploits in his best-selling books "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" But not always obvious in those stories was his brilliance as a pure scientist--one of the century's greatest physicists. With this book and CD, we hear the voice of the great Feynman in all his ingenuity, insight, and acumen for argument. więcej...

    Revised Edition. For many people, Ernesto Che Guevara symbolises the movement for social change that swept the world in the 1960s--a man who gave his life for his ideals. In this astute study of Che Guevara's life, Richard Harris considers whether, when Che Guevara was killed by the Bolivian army in 1967, he died as a hero, a martyr or the victim of his own errors. Death of a Revolutionary offers a rare, balanced look at the man behind the legend--and the circumstances that created him and shaped his choices. This study więcej...

    With the alchemy of great history, Susan Johnson transforms the familiar story of the Gold Rush into one that is sparkling and new. Our collective memory knows about the Gold Rush: the mid-nineteenth century Wild West where unshaven men raised hell and panned for gold. But this is not the whole story which would tell of a social vortex-multiracial, multiethnic, often homosocial-in which Frenchmen live alongside Anglos and Cherokee women. Roaring Camp explores the dynamic social world created by the Gold Rush in the Sierra więcej...
