"The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" takes us on a journey of many years-the story spooling outwards from the cramped neighbourhoods of Old Delhi into the burgeoning new metropolis and beyond, to the Valley of Kashmir and the forests of Central India, where war is peace and peace is war, and where, from time to time, 'normalcy' is declared. Anjum, who used to be Aftab, unrolls a threadbare carpet in a city graveyard that she calls home. A baby appears quite suddenly on a pavement, a little after midnight, in a crib of litter. The enigmatic S. Tilottama is as much of a presence as she is an absence in the ... |

Book Twelve of "The Wheel of Time" ... The final volume of "The Wheel of Time", A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan's editor his wife, Harriet McDougal, to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so The Gathering Storm is the first of three novels that will cover the outline left by Robert Jordan, chronicling Tarmon Gai'don and Rand al'Thor's ... |

A psycholinguistic analysis of editorials concerning 9/11. ... "Life and Death in a Time of Terror" is a psycholinguistic study of how 270 editorials from five different newspapers sought to make sense of an initially incomprehensible set of events: the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, DC and a United Airlines jet flying over a field somewhere in rural Pennsylvania. What made this a pressing task in 2001 was that not only did these attacks produce some 3000 deaths (many as horrible as can possibly be imagined), the destruction of two of America's largest ... |

Последната теория на Стивън Хокинг. ... Какво е имало преди Големия взрив? Как се е случило така, че нашата Вселена е годна за живот? Има ли други вселени и скрити измерения на пространството?

Лондон, 1896 г. Пред прага на XX век поредица изобретения вдъхват вяра, че науката може да постигне всичко, за което хората някога само са мечтали. Сред новите чудеса като електричеството и велосипеда се появява и фирмата "Мъри Пътешествия във времето", сбъдваща копнежа, пробуден година по-рано от писателя Х. Дж. Уелс и неговия роман "Машината на времето". Срещу немалко заплащане всеки има възможността да пътува до фаталната 2000 г., когато английската столица е в руини, и с очите си да види решаващата битка между хората и разбунтувалите се автомати. Един от пътниците във времето е Клеър Хагърти, ... |

Не можеш да си представиш колко често съм се чувствал изкушен да оповестя от амвона, че няма Бог. Това би било най-религиозното изявление, за което човек може да си помисли. Ако, разбира се, се намери достатъчно достоен човек да го направи и да го приеме... Всяко тълкуване на света е детинщина. Нима не е очевидно? Изгубването на Бога оставя след себе си вакуум, в който може да се настани човешкият разум, но не само това. Смъртта на Бог освобождава ангелите. А те са ужасни. Сред тях има сили и власти. Ангелите са мислите на Бога. И сега той се е разтворил в мислите си, чиято същност, множественост и могъщество ние не сме в ... |
