От автора на "Елегантната вселена" и "Тъканта на космоса". ... Паралелни вселени и фундаменталните закони на космоса. "Написах тази книга така, че да не изисква никакви познания в областта на физиката и математиката от страна на читателя. Вместо това, както и в предходните ми книги, използвах метафората и аналогията, като включих и множество исторически сведения, за да осигуря широкодостъпно описание на някои от най-странните и – в случай че се окажат верни – най-съществените прозрения на модерната физика. Много от разглежданите идеи изискват от читателя да изостави удобните си мисловни модели и ... |

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.

Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally, but like it or not, all have applications in real- ... |

Well-informed and richly illustrated, this book is the third volume of the popular Hidden Treasures of Bulgaria series. It takes the reader to lesser or completely unknown places in Bulgaria that fully live up to the promise of being "hidden treasures". Often located off (or off-off) the beaten track, they are integral part of what makes today's Bulgaria such a fascinating travel destination. Many of the forts, urbex sites, waterfalls and traditional villages are not to be found in any guidebook, and neither are some of the events and festivals described and photographed in detail here. This book provides ... |
