Как может сказать вам любой читатель детективов, яд — одно из самых стойких — и популярных - орудий, излюбленных коварным убийцей. Его можно подсыпать в напиток, намазать на наконечник стрелы или ручку двери, даже отфильтровать через воздух, которым мы дышим. Но как именно эти яды разрушают наш организм, и что мы можем извлечь из наносимого ими ущерба? • В книге "Вкус к яду. Одиннадцать смертоносных веществ и убийцы, которые их использовали" доктор Нил Брэдбери исследует этот самый болезненно увлекательный метод убийства на клеточном уровне. Наряду с рассказами об убийцах и их преступлениях из реальной жизни - некоторые из них печально известны, некоторые забыты, некоторые до сих пор не раскрыты — представлены не менее захватывающие истории о ядах: одиннадцати молекулах смерти, которые проникают в человеческое тело и, как это ни парадоксально, проливают свет на то, как функционируют наши тела подробнее

Liverpool and Manchester. Two gloriously independent-minded, eclectic, culturally vibrant places. Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football • The dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not a barometer of disdain, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul or Moscow. In northwest England, it is the engine of animosity • How did it come to this? Why did things turn so nasty? And what does it say about the two cities in which the clubs are based? • Written by a Scouser and a Manc in a rare collaboration, Red on Red addresses the divide by talking to those involved in ten seminal football matches

И с годами она растет, во многом благодаря одной вещи: футболу • Темное, злобное отвращение, разделяемое фанатами "Ливерпуля" и "Манчестер Юнайтед", просочилось во все аспекты жизни в этих двух городах.

Hodder & Stoughton Henry VIII and the men who made him Borman Tracy

Henry VIII is well known for his tumultuous relationships with women, and he is often defined by his many marriages. But what do we see if we take a different look? When we see Henry through the men in his life, a new perspective on this famous king emerges • Henry's relationships with the men who surrounded him reveal much about his beliefs, behaviour and character. They show him to be capable of fierce, but seldom abiding loyalty; of raising men only to destroy them later. He loved to be attended and entertained by boisterous young men who shared his passion for sport, but at other times he was more diverted by men of intellect, culture and wit. Often trusting and easily led by his male attendants and advisers during the early years of his reign, he matured into a profoundly suspicious and paranoid king whose favour could be suddenly withdrawn, as many of his later servants found to their cost

Harpercollins Wild Words. collection of words from around the world that describe happenings in nature Hodges Kate

The book showcases 75 beautiful words evocative of the wild, from all around the world, that describe natural happenings in nature. It includes words that describe weather, or a feeling you have when in nature as well as sensory words that explain the smell or sound of a place • The words used to express what is seen in the world are vital to an appreciation of it – language is a key component in the call of the wild. As words vanish from a language, it follows that what they describe may disappear. Words deepen understanding of what is seen, and what is seen comes more vividly to life through the words used to describe it. As the natural world and the time spent in it diminish in the face of modern life, it’s more vital than ever to recall it into being with the magic of language
