Penguin Guided Tour of English Language Crystal David Penguin Group

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

Одно из самых значительных произведений западной философии, трактат Юма, был опубликован в 1739-40 годах, когда ему еще не исполнилось тридцати лет. Являясь вершиной английского эмпиризма, она представляет собой всестороннюю попытку применить научные методы наблюдения к изучению человеческой природы и энергичную атаку на принципы традиционной метафизической мысли. С виртуозным красноречием Юм отрицает бессмертие души и реальность пространства; рассматривает способ, которым мы формируем концепции идентичности, причины и следствия; и размышляет о природе свободы, добродетели и эмоций. Противопоставляемая как метафизике, так и рационализму, философия обоснованного скептицизма Юма рассматривает человека не как религиозное творение и не как машину, а как существо, в котором доминируют чувства, страсти и аппетиты

This book traces the history of human movement and interaction around and across the world's greatest bodies of water, charting our relationship with the oceans from the time of the first voyagers. David Abulafia begins with the earliest of seafaring societies - the Polynesians of the Pacific, the possessors of intuitive navigational skills long before the invention of the compass, who by the first century were trading between their far-flung islands. By the seventh century, trading routes stretched from the coasts of Arabia and Africa to southern China and Japan, bringing together the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific and linking half the world through the international spice trade
