Vintage books In Praise of Walking. The new science of how we walk and why it’s good for us O`Mara Shane

Walking upright on two feet is a uniquely human skill. It defines us as a species • It enabled us to walk out of Africa and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. It freed our hands and freed our minds. We put one foot in front of the other without thinking - yet how many of us know how we do that, or appreciate the advantages it gives us? In this hymn to walking, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits it confers on our bodies and minds, and urges us to appreciate - and exercise - our miraculous ability

Simon & Schuster More From Less. The surprising story of how we learned to prosper using fewer resources McAfee Andrew

Bestselling author and co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy Andrew McAfee says there's a new reason for optimism: we're past the point of "peak stuff" - from here on out, it'll take fewer resources to make things, and cost less to lead a comfortable life • This turn of events invalidates the predictions of overpopulation alarmists and those who argue we need to drastically reduce our conception of how much is enough. What has made this turnabout possible? One thing primarily: the collaboration between technology and capitalism • Capitalism's quest for higher profits is a quest for lower costs; materials and resources are expensive, and technological progress allows companies to use fewer of them even as they grow their markets

Constable & Robinson Brief History of Henry VIII, Reformer and Tyreant Wilson Derek

Henry VIII changed the course of English life more completely than any monarch since the Conquest. In the portraits of Holbein, Henry Tudor stands proud as one of the most powerful figures in renaissance Europe. But is the portrait just a bluff? In his new book Derek Wilson explores the myths behind the image of the Tudor Lion. He was the monarch that delivered the Reformation to England yet Luther called him 'A fool, a liar and a damnable rotten worm'. As a young man he gained a reputation as an intellectual and fair prince yet he ruled the nation like a tyrant. He treated his subjects as cruelly as he treated his wives. Based on a wealth of new material and a life time's knowledge of the subject Derek Wilson exposes a new portrait of a much misunderstood King

Picador Wayfinding. The Art and Science of How We Find and Lose Our Way Бонд Майкл

Физический мир бесконечно сложен, но большинство из нас способны ориентироваться в нем. Мы можем ходить по незнакомым улицам, сохраняя чувство направления, срезать путь по тропинкам, которыми мы никогда не пользовались, и на долгие годы запоминать места, которые посетили всего один раз. Это замечательные достижения • В книге "Поиск пути. Искусство и наука о том, как мы находим и теряем свой путь" Майкл Бонд исследует, как мы это делаем: как наш мозг создает "когнитивные карты", которые помогают нам ориентироваться даже в незнакомых местах. Он рассматривает, как мы относимся к местам, и спрашивает, как наше понимание окружающего мира влияет на нашу психологию и поведение • То, как мы думаем о физическом пространстве, сыграло решающую роль в нашей эволюции: способность перемещаться на большие расстояния в доисторические времена дала Homo sapiens преимущество перед остальными представителями человеческого рода

Penguin The Early History of Rome Livy

'I hope my passion for Rome's past has not impaired my judgement; for I do honestly believe that no country has ever been greater or purer than ours or richer in good citizens and noble deeds' • Livy dedicated most of his life to writing some 142 volumes of history, the first five of which comprise The Early History of Rome. With stylistic brilliance, he chronicles nearly 400 years from the founding of Rome to the Gallic invasion in 386 BC, an era that witnessed the establishment of the Republic, unrest and brutal conflict. Bringing compelling characters to life, and re-presenting familiar tales - including the tragedy of Coriolanus and the story of Romulus and Remus - The Early History is a truly epic work, and a passionate warning that a nation should learn from its history
