Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark "The Punishment Of Luxury" CD

Твин Лейкс — проклятый город. Не то чтобы демоны раздирали его на части, но и «куда опять пропали мои ключи?» или «я опять наступил в лужу» не описывает проблему в полной мере. Короче, по шкале проклятости он где-то в серединке

In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life from early childhood in Africa to publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976, when he shot to fame as one of the most exciting new scientists of his generation. In Brief Candle in the Dark he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that inspired and motivated him. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote and digression, of the twenty-five postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford. He pays affectionate tribute to past colleagues and students, recalling the idiosyncrasies of an establishment steeped in ancient tradition and arcane ritual while also recording his respect for the profound commitment to learning and discovery that lies at its core
