J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume • J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron • It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor

В сборнике "Падение Нуменора, и другие истории из Второй эпохи Средиземья" • представлены труды Дж.Р.Р. Толкина о Второй эпохе Средиземья • Дж.Р.Р. Толкин, как известно, описал Вторую эпоху Средиземья как "темный век", многие истории которого не рассказаны. И в течение многих лет читателям приходилось довольствоваться дразнящими проблесками этих историй, которые можно найти на страницах "Властелина колец" • Более полную историю можно было узнать только после того, как Кристофер Толкин после смерти своего отца опубликовал "Сильмариллион". Хотя большая часть содержания книги касалась Первой эпохи Средиземья, в конце ее были две ключевые работы, раскрывающие бурные события, связанные с возвышением и падением острова Нуменор • Теперь, придерживаясь хронологии событий в приложениях к "Властелину колец", редактор Брайан Сибли собрал в один всеобъемлющий том новую хронику Второй эпохи Средиземья, рассказанную словами Дж

Джон Рональд Руэл Толкин называл Вторую Эпоху Средиземья «тёмным временем, о котором мало что известно». Много лет читателям приходилось довольствоваться обрывками истории этого времени, которые попадаются на страницах «Властелина Колец» и приложений к нему • Более обширный взглянуть на Вторую Эпоху стало возможным только после смерти мастера фэнтези, когда Кристофер Толкин опубликовал «Сильмариллион». Хотя основная часть книги была посвящена событиям Первой Эпохи, она также проливает свет на бурную историю и сокрушительное падение островного королевства Нуменор • Подаренное людям Средиземья за их помощь в победе над Морготом, королевство быстро обрело достаток и влияние, но именно растущее могущество нуменорцев стало зерном, из которого впоследствии проклюнулась их трагическая судьба

The making of Elvis, behind the scenes • "Elvis who?" was photographer Alfred Wertheimer's response when, in early 1956, an RCA Victor publicist asked him to photograph an up-and-coming crooner from Memphis. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old, Elvis Presley was-as we now know-about to become a legend • Trailing Presley like a shadow, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Presley that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history • Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll collects Wertheimer's most remarkable Elvis shots from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 pictures of the star being shipped off to an army base in Germany

The never-before-seen history of Westeros and the lands beyond. With hundreds of pages of all-new material from George R.R. Martin • If the past is prologue, then George R.R. Martin's masterwork-the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time-warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice and Fire • George R.R. Martin, in collaboration with Elio M. Garcia, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, has written a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, featuring the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead up to the events in the bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series • Collected within this volume is the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maegi and singers, including over 170 full-colour illustrations and maps, family trees for the Houses Stark, Lannister and Targaryen, and in-depth explanations of the history and culture of Westeros

From Aristotle to Ada Lovelace: a brief history of the mathematical ideas that have forever changed the world and the everyday people and pioneers behind them. The story of our best invention yet • From our ability to calculate the passing of time to the algorithms that control computers and much else in our lives, numbers are everywhere. They are so indispensable that we forget how fundamental they are to our way of life • In this international bestseller, Mickael Launay mixes history and anecdotes from around the world to reveal how mathematics became pivotal to the story of humankind. It is a journey into numbers with Launay as a guide. In museums, monuments or train stations, he uses the objects around us to explain what art can reveal about geometry, how Babylonian scholars developed one of the first complex written languages, and how ‘Arabic’ numbers were adopted from India

The first in a gripping new historical fantasy series that intertwines Irish mythology with real-life history, The Children of Gods and Fighting Men is the thrilling debut novel by Shauna Lawless • They think they've killed the last of us • 981 AD. The Viking King of Dublin is dead. His young widow, Gormflaith, has ambitions for her son – and herself – but Ireland is a dangerous place and kings tend not to stay kings for long • Gormflaith also has a secret. She is one of the Fomorians, an immortal race who can do fire-magic. She has kept her powers hidden at all costs, for there are other immortals in this world – like the Tuatha De Danann, a race of warriors who are sworn to kill Fomorians • Fodla is one of the Tuatha De Danann with the gift of healing

The United States asserts the right to use military force against ‘failed states’ around the globe. But as Noam Chomsky argues in this devastating analysis, America shares features with many of the regimes it insists are failing and constitute a danger to their neighbours • Offering a comprehensive and radical examination of America past and present, Chomsky shows how this lone superpower – which topples foreign governments, invades states that threaten its interests and imposes sanctions on regimes it opposes – has stretched its own democratic institutions to breaking point. And how an America in crisis places the world ever closer to the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster
