The History Of The Remarkable Life of J. Sheppard & Atlantis Major Дефо Даниель Т8

A long-overdue and dramatic reinterpretation of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots by one of the leading historians at work today • She was crowned Queen of Scotland at nine months of age, and Queen of France at sixteen years; at eighteen she ascended the throne that was her birthright and began ruling one of the most fractious courts in Europe, riven by religious conflict and personal lust for power. She rode out at the head of an army in both victory and defeat; saw her second husband assassinated, and married his murderer. At twenty-five she entered captivity at the hands of her rival queen, from which only death would release her • The life of Mary Stuart is one of unparalleled drama and conflict. From the labyrinthine plots laid by the Scottish lords to wrest power for themselves, to the efforts made by Elizabeth's ministers to invalidate Mary's legitimate claim to the English throne, John Guy returns to the archives to explode the myths and correct the inaccuracies that surround this most fascinating monarch

Нам хорошо знакомо морское побережье, и все же мало какие места хранят так много тайн и сюрпризов • Как кузнечики наследуют «компас» от своих родителей? Как крабы разбираются в приливах? Как смерть одной береговой улитке может спасти жизнь ее сородичей? Как много знает креветка? • В своей книге The Sea is Not Made of Water. Life Between the Tides Адам Николсон рассказывает о чудесах природы, которые можно найти на морском побережье. Физика морей, биология актиний и моллюсков, история Земли и всех, кто когда-то жил на ней – все это встречается в этом месте, где ищут смысл жизни и поэты, и философы • Это удивительная книга об экологии и о яркой человеческой истории. Любой желающий сможет оторвать взгляд от собственного отражения и обнаружить, что в дюйме от них ждет самое настоящее чудо

How does our diet affect our skin? What makes the skin age? And why can't we tickle ourselves? • Providing a cover for our delicate and intricate bodies, the skin is our largest, fastest growing and yet least understood organ. We see it, touch it and live in it every day. It's a habitat for a mesmerizingly complex world of micro-organisms and physical functions that are vital to our health and our survival. It's also one of the first things people see about us and is crucial to our sense of identity. Our skin plays a central role in our lives. And yet how much do we really know about it? • Through the lenses of science, sociology and history, Dr Monty Lyman leads us on a journey across our most underrated and unexplored organ. Examining our microbiome, our love of tattoos and whether or not beauty products really work, he reveals how the skin is far stranger and more complex than you've ever imagined
