The master of weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft combines cosmic fantasy with creeping horror in these three tales of malevolent alien forces, body-switching and travel across the space-time continuum."Evil in Lovecraft is universal, pervasive." Michael Chabon "His prescience and novelty seem more and more remarkable... shows a deeply modern horror at the universe." Guardian "A unique and visionary world of wonder, terror and delirium."

"Поезията на Катерина Василева не прави компромиси нито с личната, нито с обществената съвест, гласът ѝ е отчетливо силен и безпокоен. Човекът в тези стихотворения приема участта да бъде фуния за световната болка и помни, че децата, също като таралежите, се раждат без бодли. Въпреки това авторката търпеливо отглежда увереността, че семената на надеждата и обичта са засети в нас. И ще покълнат. Земята на големите грешки е от онези запомнящи се дебютни книги, които оставят следа в литературната ни памет." Ина Иванова Катерина Василева (2001) е журналистка в Свободна Европа. Има опит и в други дигитални и ... |

Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell. We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that's barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe - at least ... |

The questions in this book were curated by the staff at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, in London, to address all the most common - and a few uncommon - things that children want to know about the universe and about outer space. It covers a mixture of basic questions about planets, moons, human exploration and the origins of the universe, as well as tackling really big questions such as 'How do black holes work?, Is it worth going to space? and What's going to happen at the end of time? Join two curious children and a robot programmed with all the answers as they guide readers through some of the most mind- ... |

Don't be afraid to take up space. ... I'm going to tell you the word that ruins my entire life: Big, beacause my name is Jemina Small, but I am exactly the opposite. Jemima Small is funny and smart. She knows a lot of things. Like the fact that she's made of 206 bones, over 600 muscles and trillions of cells. What she doesn't know is how that can be true and yet she can still sometimes feel like nothing... Or how being made to join the school's "special" healthy lifestyle group - aka Fat Club - could feel any less special. But Jemima also knows that the biggest stars in the universe are the ... |

Написах "Елегантната вселена" в опит да направя забележителните открития, идващи от предната линия на физическите изследвания, достъпни за широк спектър читатели, особено онези, които не са учили математика или физика. По време на публичните лекции върху теорията на суперструните, които изнасях през последните няколко години, станах свидетел на масово желание да се разбере какво твърди съвременната наука за фундаменталните закони на вселената, как тези закони изискват основно преразглеждане на нашето схващане за мирозданието и какви предизвикателства стоят пред нас в търсенето на окончателната теория. Надявам се, ... |

From the discovery of entirely new kinds of galaxies to a window into cosmic "prehistory", Bothwell shows us the Universe as we've never seen it before - literally. Since the dawn of our species, people all over the world have gazed in awe at the night sky. But for all the beauty and wonder of the stars, when we look with just our eyes we are seeing and appreciating only a tiny fraction of the Universe. What does the cosmos have in store for us beyond the phenomena we can see, from black holes to supernovas? How different does the invisible Universe look from the home we thought we knew? Dr Matt Bothwell ... |
