Soon to be a Netflix Original Series! "Wildly imaginative." —President Barack Obama on The Three-Body Problem trilogy This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations can co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But peace has also made humanity complacent. Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the 21st century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the start of the Trisolar Crisis, and her presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?

Our universe seems strangely ¿biophilic,¿ or hospitable to life. Is this providence or coincidence? According to Martin Rees, the answer depends on the answer to another question, the one posed by Einstein¿s famous remark: ¿What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently.¿ This highly engaging book centres on the fascinating consequences of the answer being ¿yes¿. Rees explores the notion that our universe is just part of a vast ¿multiverse,¿ or ensemble of universes, in which most of the other universes are lifeless. What we call the laws of nature would then be local bylaws, imposed in the aftermath of our own Big Bang. In this scenario, our cosmic habitat would be a special, possibly unique universe where the prevailing laws of physics allowed life to emerge. Expanding our comprehension of the cosmos, OUR COSMIC HABITAT will be read and enjoyed by all those - scientists and non-scientists alike - who are as fascinated by the universe we inhabit, as is the author himself.

Tento významný projekt přináší v 25 původních esejích pohled na příštích padesát let pokroku lidského vědění a dopadů tohoto pokroku na osud lidstva. Nejde o módní prognostické fantazírování, které by jen prodloužilo křivku současných trendů, ani o hádání z křišťálové koule: přední vědci a myslitelé z těch nejexponovanějších oborů zde podávají kvalifikovaný vhled do vnitřní struktury a dynamiky rozvoje svých specializací i jejich mezioborových vazeb vývoje, z něhož vyjdou revoluční změny blízké budoucnosti. Autor projektu a pořadatel knihy je zakladatelem Edge Foundation, diskusního fóra pro mezioborovou spolupráci špičkových vědců.

Darrow ha sedici anni, vive su Marte ed è uno dei Rossi. La casta più bassa, minatori condannati a scavare nelle profondità del pianeta a temperature intollerabili, rischiando ogni giorno la propria vita. Ma Darrow sa di farlo per rendere abitabile la superficie di Marte, per dare una terra alle nuove generazioni. E a ripagarlo dei sacrifici c'è l'amore per Eo, bellissima e idealista. Finché un giorno i due innamorati sono sorpresi a baciarsi in un luogo dove non avrebbero dovuto, sono processati e condannati da un giudice appartenente alla casta degli Oro, la classe dominante. E mentre Eo riceve le frustate di punizione, la sua voce si scioglie in un canto dolcissimo, un canto proibito di rivolta e speranza, lo stesso canto che era costato la vita al padre di Darrow. E ora costerà la vita a Eo.

An adventure deep inside the everyday materials that surround us, packed with surprising stories and fascinating science. Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? Why does a paper clip bend? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? These are the sorts of questions that Mark Miodownik a globally-renowned materials scientist has spent his life exploring In this book he examines the materials he encounters in a typical morning, from the steel in his razor and the graphite in his pencil to the foam in his sneakers and the concrete in a nearby skyscraper.

Před-svědčování (anglicky Pre-suasion), představuje nejnovější poznatky z oboru ovlivňování a přesvědčování. Pro autora je typický srozumitelný, čtivý styl, je doprovázený obrovským poznámkovým aparátem odkazujícím na nejnovější studie a experimenty (jeho poznatky jsou tzv. „evidence-based“). To nové, co Cialdini přináší, je změna úhlu pohledu. Na metodách úspěšných mistrů vlivu a přesvědčování ukazuje, že nemusíte změnit postoje či přesvědčení svých posluchačů – stačí správně posunout pozornost publika těsně předtím, než od něj budete chtít žádoucí reakci. Ukazuje to na mnoha příkladech od úspěšných online kampaní až po efektivní válečnou propagandu. Dovedná práce s pozorností vede podle Cialdiniho k tzv. před-svědčení posluchače a následně také k žádaným výsledkům.

Mais la profanation d'un rite sacré par un patricien corrompu déchaîne rapidement la colère de ses pairs.

Une plongée étonnante dans les arcanes de la République romaine, où festins de Lucullus et tentatives d'empoisonnement rythment le quotidien d'un détective peu ordinaire.
