Anything is Possible
/ Комментариев: 0/

Название: Anything is Possible
Автор: Cosentino
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers
Год: 2016
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 30 Мб
Язык: английский / English

Cosentino is Australia's premier illusionist - a magician to his fingertips, a man who constantly challenges our notions of what is possible. This is his inspiring story. Cosentino emerged seemingly out of nowhere as a fully fledged star and Australia's premier illusionist and escapologist, with an act as distinct and as wild as his Johnny Depp-meets-Al Capone look. The LA Times has said about him: "Cosentino mirrors the legendary Harry Houdini" - and like Houdini, his stunts are truly mind-blowing. In 2014, he got out of a locked Perspex sphere plunged 10 metres underwater. It was a blockbuster stunt, broadcast live on national TV, but it's not Cosentino's greatest trick. Nor is the one in which he unshackled himself just in time to avoid his head being sliced open by 18 chef's knives.

Смерть правды

Название: Смерть правды
Автор: Митико Какутани
Издательство: Эксмо
Год: 2019
Формат: pdf, rtf
Размер: 10.3 Мб
Качество: Хорошее
Язык: Русский

Лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, влиятельный литературный критик и многолетний литературный обозреватель The New York Times Митико Какутани – об общемировом затмении рассудка в эпоху постмодерна.
Правда стала исчезающим видом: повестка властных элит и медиа всего мира сегодня как никогда далека от реальности. Под натиском «альтернативных истин» и откровенных фейков мы сами утратили навыки критического мышления, позволив авторитарным правительствам манипулировать нами. О том, как это случилось, – книга Какутани. Автор обращается к трудам крупнейших интеллектуалов ХХ века – таким, как Джордж Оруэлл и Ханна Арендт, – чтобы нарисовать пугающий образ современности, в которой псевдособытия формируют реальность, а культурный язык деградировал до поистине опасного уровня. «Смерть правды» – это не только актуальная публицистика, но и книга, возвращающая способность критически мыслить в эпоху, когда истины утрачены.

Название: Finding Einstein's Brain
Автор: Frederick E. Lepore
Издательство: Rutgers University Press
Год: 2018
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 26 Мб
Язык: английский / English

Albert Einstein remains the quintessential icon of modern genius. Like Newton and many others, his seminal work in physics includes the General Theory of Relativity, the Absolute Nature of Light, and perhaps the most famous equation of all time: E=mc2. Following his death in 1955, Einstein’s brain was removed and preserved, but has never been fully or systematically studied. In fact, the sections are not even all in one place, and some are mysteriously unaccounted for! In this compelling tale, Frederick E. Lepore delves into the strange, elusive afterlife of Einstein’s brain, the controversy surrounding its use, and what its study represents for brain and/or intelligence studies.
