To the outside world Alice, Jake and Harry have little in common. Alice is a social outsider: reclusive, middle-aged, and with only 850,000 honeybees for company.

And Harry is an aimless twenty-four-year-old suffering from debilitating social anxiety. But when Alice nearly crashes her pick-up truck, packed with thousands of honeybees, into Jake, the last thing she expects is to find that Jake has a gift: he can hear her bees buzzing as a form of music. And when Harry also arrives at Alice's ... |

"Преди няколко месеца препрочетох тази книга. Не бях я чела от първото й издание през 1936 г. Не очаквах толкова да ми хареса. Твърде много писатели заявяват, че не могат да осъществят напълно намеренията си, и че творбите им са в известна степен недовършени. Не споделям това мнение и според мен то е извинимо само за начинаещи, защото никой не се ражда с "талант", т.е. уменията трябва да се придобият. Писателите се създават, не се раждат. По-точно писателите сами се създават. За "Ние, живите", първата ми книга (и в по-малка степен за творчеството ми преди "Изворът"), смятах, че ... |

Второ преработено издание. ... Цифровият Звук. Митове и Решения е началото на една поредица, засягаща много от проблемите в дигиталното аудио, които често са погрешно или непълно разбирани както сред тонрежисьорското съсловие, така и сред останалите работещи в тази и съседни сфери на дейност, както и аудиофили и ентусиасти. Трудове и учебници на тонрежисьорска или акустическа тематика има на българския пазар, но те само частично засягат спецификите на работата със звука в цифрова среда. Тази книга се опитва да запълни съответната информационна липса. Заедно с това бурната експанзия на разпространението на аудио-визуално ... |
