Rutherford Adam, Фрай Ханна Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything. Abridged
In Rutherford and Fry's comprehensive guidebook, they tell the complete story of the universe and absolutely everything in it - skipping over some of the boring parts. This is a celebration of the weirdness of the cosmos, the strangeness of humans and the fact that amid all the mess, we can somehow make sense of life. Our brains have evolved to tell us all sorts of things that feel intuitively right but just aren't true: the world looks flat, the stars seem fixed in the heavenly firmament, a day is 24 hours... This book is crammed full of tales of how stuff really works. With the power of science, Rutherford and Fry show us how to bypass our monkey-brains, taking us on a journey from the origin of time and space, via planets, galaxies, evolution, the dinosaurs, all the way into our minds, and wrestling with some truly head-scratching questions that only science can answer: What is time, and where does it come from? Why are animals the size and shape they are? How horoscopes work (Spoiler: they don't, but you think they do) Does my dog love me? Why nothing is truly round? Do you need your eyes to see?

Child L., Child A. The Sentinel
As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against. Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

Rutherford Adam How to Argue With a Racist. History, Science, Race and Reality
The Sunday Times bestselling manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution and variation - and a weapon against scientific racism The Sunday Times bestseller As heard on BBC radio 4 book of the week 'The ultimate anti-racism guide' Caroline Criado Perez 'Seriously important' Bill Bryson 'A fascinating debunking of racial pseudoscience' Guardian Racist pseudoscience may be on the rise, but science is no ally to racists. Instead science and history can be powerful allies against bigotry, granting us the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be. HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST dismantles outdated notions of race by illuminating what modern genetics can and can't tell us about human difference. It is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution and variation, and a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify racism.

Виниловая пластинка Universal Genesis - Duke (LP)
Duke — десятый студийный альбом британской прогрок-группы Genesis, и второй, записанный ею в составе трио, выпущенный 31 марта 1980 года. Репетиции проходили у Фила Коллинза дома, который параллельно работал над своим сольным дебютом Face Value. По словам Коллинза (отсутствовавшего в большей части материала предыдущего альбома по личным причинам), он был «словно одержим Duke». Композиции «Behind The Lines», «Duchess», «Guide Vocal», «Turn It On Again», «Duke’s Travels» и «Duke’s End» первоначально представляли собой цельное произведение под названием «Duke Suite» с центральным персонажем Альбертом, однако группа решила раздробить её, чтобы избежать сравнений с 23-минутной «Supper’s Ready» с альбома Foxtrot. Подобное упрощение отражало отход группы от сложносочинённых композиций, её стремление стать более прямолинейными и хорошо подошло к эре 80-х. На концертах Фил Коллинз объявлял «Duke Suite» как «историю об Альберте». «Duchess» стала первой песней Genesis с использованием драм-машины. Duke стал первым альбомом группы, достигшим первого места в британском хит-параде. В том же году Duke получил платиновый статус на родине, а в 1988 году — в США. «Misunderstanding» — первая композиция Genesis, вошедшая в американский топ-20. В поддержку альбома был устроен тур по Британии и Северной Америке с апреля до июня 1980 года, который начался с тура с 40 концертов по Великобритании, где все 106 000 билетов были проданы в течение нескольких часов после поступления в продажу. При этом композиции «Misunderstanding» и «Turn It on Again» стали фаворитами концертных программ. Тони Бэнкс называет Duke своим любимым альбомом Genesis. В целом альбом получил высокие оценки музыкальных изданий и критиков. В ретроспективном обзоре Стивен Томас Эрлевин из AllMusic считает, что Duke был альбомом Genesis, который «прыгнул в драку» поп-музыки, но сохранил «большую дозу» прогрессивного рока с сюитой «Duke». Эрлевин считал, что альбом временами выглядит «немного напыщенным», поскольку «Misunderstanding» и «Turn It On Again» являются двумя треками, которые «демонстрируют новую версию Genesis в ее абсолютном лучшем виде».
