В этой книге мы не ставим перед собой задачи дать ис-черпывающую картину отечественной науки. В истории на-шей науки присутствует один глобальный конфликт — это конфликт между фаустианским началом и началом созерца-тельным, космическим. Проявление этого глобального кон-фликта мы и постараемся разглядеть в непростых судьбах отечественных ученых.

North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available.

In the fast-moving industry of technology, many current and upcoming professionals are faced with decisions that affect their careers and by extension their livelihoods. Many believe that the advice given to them from their well-respected peers and higher-ups serves as a primary basis for attaining the seemingly unattainable.

Autobiografia Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie to rzeczowa relacja z życia dwukrotnej laureatki nagrody Nobla. Autorka stawia na odtworzenie faktów, dzielenie się swoimi przemyśleniami, unikając przy tym górnolotnych słów i wygładzonej autokreacji. Jej opowieść daleka jest od stawiania sobie pomnika i budowania mitu. Skłodowska jako pisarka nie przestaje nigdy być naukowcem. Publikacja maluje obraz lat dzieciństwa i dorastania w Polsce w czasach zaborów. Odtwarza późniejsze życie obdarzonej wybitnym umysłem emigrantki, która za sprawą pracowitości i konsekwencji zostaje wybitną uczoną.

Альберт Эйнштейн говорил, что не любит давать интервью, но, как публичная фигура, не мог их избежать. При этом он ни разу не дал обстоятельного и упорядоченного интервью о своей научной карьере и наиболее интересных аспектах частной жизни. Именно этот пробел и попытался заполнить Карлос Калье, физик-исследователь NASA и большой поклонник Эйнштейна, и в результате ему удалось воссоздать портрет одного из величайших ученых в истории так убедительно, как если бы он побеседовал с ним на самом деле. С предисловием сэра Роджера Пенроуза, лауреата Нобелевской премии по физике.

Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers - but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered is only half of science's story. Unexplained will explore the frontier between what we do and don't know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science's established laws. Dr Camilla Pang will teach you to embrace the beauty in the unexplained and fall in love with the search for unknown answers.

His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. Today, he's a figurehead as much as a man, symbolic of things larger than himself: of scientific progress, of the human mind, even of the age. But who was Einstein really? The Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and was the inspiration for element 99, Albert Einstein was also a high school dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long. In this audiobook, Samuel Graydon's writing brings history's most famous scientist back to life.

The life story of Gary Gygax, godfather of all fantasy adventure games, has been told only in bits and pieces. Michael Witwer has crafted a dynamic, dramatized biography of Gygax from his childhood in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to his untimely death in 2008. Gygax’s magnum opus, Dungeons & Dragons, would explode in popularity throughout the 1970s and ’80s and irreversibly alter the world of gaming. Gygax’s involvement in the industry lasted long after his dramatic and involuntary departure, and his footprint can be seen in the role-playing genre he is largely responsible for creating.

His only product was soon to be replaced by the silicon chip. Thirty years later, Miller sold his company for 18 million dollars.

Justin Yerbury made a promise to his mother while she was dying of motor neurone disease (MND) that he would do everything he could to find a cure.

Desperate to help his loved ones, Justin went to university to study science, eventually becoming a professor of molecular biology at the University of Wollongong and one of the world's leading experts on MND.
