Избраният трябва да се бори срещу империя, дефинирана от непрекъснатия шум от машини, илюзията за безопасност и вялото подчинение. Албумът "The Astonishing" следва изключително успешния запис от 2013-та година - "Dream Theater", който осигури на бандата втора номинация за "Grammy" и се изкачи до върха на класацията "Hard Rock Albums" на & ... |

Нова история - от живота в сянката на динозаврите до нас. Нашите предци, бозайниците, са се появили почти едновременно с динозаврите преди повече от 200 млн. г., когато цялата суша е била събрана в един свръхконтинент, изсушен от обширни пустини. А предисторията на тези първи бозайници е още по-дълбока. Тя започва преди около 325 млн. г. в необятните заблатени карбонови гори. Тогава в голямото родословно дърво на живия свят линията на предшествениците на бозайниците се е отделила от тази на влечугите. През тези огромни интервали от геологично време бозайниците са се развили в хиляди смайващи форми. По едно или друго ... |

Although some professional readers have used this idea with different packs, and to great effect, this is the first time two Tarot decks have been designed specifically to work together. In fact, they can be seen not as two separate decks but as one deck appearing in two dimensions. The principle of the two-deck system can be explained as follows: there are two sides to every question and two sides to every answer. Answers come both from within and ... |
