Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves • For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a community of Neverwinter Woods elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into her own

In the last two decades football in Britain has made the transition from a peripheral dying sport to the very centre of our popular culture, from an economic basket-case to a booming entertainment industry. What does it mean when football becomes so central to our private and political lives? Has it enriched us or impoverished us? • In this sparkling book David Goldblatt argues that no social phenomenon tracks the momentous economic, social and political changes of the post-Thatcherite era in a more illuminating manner than football, and no cultural practice sheds more light on the aspirations and attitudes of our long boom and now calamitous bust. A must-read for the thinking football fan, The Game of Our Lives will appeal to readers of Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby and Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson

Loss and adversity are part of the human condition, but an imperfect past isn’t always an indicator of what’s to come • This book traces a pattern: why is it that often the people with the hardest beginnings in life – children who experience displacement, disease, financial ruin, abandonment or bereavement – become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people, who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most? • Of Britain’s fifty-five prime ministers, twenty-five lost one or both of their parents as a child and 69 per cent suffered some form of serious childhood trauma. For their acclaimed podcast Past Imperfect, Thomson and Sylvester spoke to some such prime ministers, as well as pioneers and poets, CEOs and chefs, actors and archbishops, sports stars and Nobel prize-winning scientists

Физический мир невероятно сложен, но большинству из нас удаётся в нём ориентироваться. Мы можем двигаться по незнакомым улицам, сохраняя чувство направления, срезать углы на дорогах, которыми раньше никогда не пользовались, и на долгие годы запоминать места, в которых бывали лишь однажды. Эти умения поразительны • То, как мы воспринимаем физическое пространство, было ключевым фактором нашей эволюции: именно способность ориентироваться в географическом пространстве дало человеку разумному преимущество над остальными видами людей. Даже наши дети – инстинктивные первооткрыватели, у которых во время перемещения быстро развивается пространственное понимание. Сегодня, к сожалению, мало кто из нас пользуется навыками навигации, которые мы унаследовали от своих кочевых предков

Издание на английском языке. The Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals by Peter J. Ucko and G.W. Dimbleby. This volume results from presentations at the Institute of Archaeology, London University, discussing the domestication and exploitation of plants and animals.
