Penguin Congo Crichton Michael

Автор восемнадцати романов за четыре десятилетия - от "Утонувшего мира" в 1962 году до своего последнего романа "Грядущее царство" в 2006 году - Дж.Дж. Баллард известен как один из самых знаменитых и оригинальных британских романистов • Однако за свою долгую карьеру он также был плодовитым автором коротких рассказов; на самом деле, многие люди считают, что он лучше всего работает в формате коротких рассказов • Изложенные в первоначальном порядке публикации и часто служащие основой для идей, которые он развивал в своих романах, эти рассказы предоставляют беспрецедентную возможность увидеть воображение одного из величайших британских писателей в действии. Это издание является частью новой юбилейной серии работ Балларда, включающей предисловия от ряда его поклонников (включая Роберта Макфарлейна, Иэна Синклера, Джеймса Левера и Али Смита) и совершенно новый дизайн обложек от художника Стэнли Донвуда

Автор международных бестселлеров номер один "Парк Юрского периода", "Конго" и "Сфера" рассказывает о глобальном потеплении в этом захватывающем триллере, получившем признание критиков • В Париже физик умирает после проведения лабораторного эксперимента для прекрасной посетительницы • В джунглях Малайзии таинственный покупатель приобретает смертоносную кавитационную технологию, разработанную по его спецификациям • В Ванкувере арендована небольшая исследовательская подводная лодка для использования в водах Новой Гвинеи • А в Токио агент разведки пытается понять, что все это значит • Книга на английском языке • The Number One international bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Congo and Sphere takes on global warming in this gripping and critically acclaimed thriller

An instant classic in the vein of Jurassic Park, this boundary-pushing novel has all the hallmarks of Michael Crichton’s greatest adventures with its combination of pulse-pounding thrills, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research • Three men are found dead in a locked second-floor office in Honolulu. There is no sign of struggle, though their bodies are covered in ultra-fine, razor-sharp cuts. With no evidence, the police dismiss it as a bizarre suicide pact. But the murder weapon is still in the room, almost invisible to the human eye • In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up company. Nanigen MicroTechnologies sends them to a mysterious laboratory in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will open up a whole new scientific frontier

Michael Pollan's In Defence of Food is a simple invitation to junk the science, ditch the diet and instead rediscover the joys of eating well • This book is a celebration of food. By food, Michael Pollan means real, proper, simple food - not the kind that comes in a packet, or has lists of unpronounceable ingredients, or that makes nutritional claims about how healthy it is. More like the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize • By following a few pieces of advice (Eat at a table - a desk doesn't count. Don't buy food where you'd buy your petrol!), you will enrich your life and your palate, and enlarge your sense of what it means to be healthy and happy • It's time to fall in love with food again
