Krindlekrax - Philip Ridley

Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child. "You know when you feel a rumbling in the ground, and people tell you it''s a tube train going by? Well, it''s not a tube train,'' Corky said. ''It''s the thing that lives in the sewers. It comes up at night, when we''re asleep.'' ''What is it?'' Ruskin asked breathlessly. ''Krindlekrax,'' Corky replied.There are plenty of weird and wonderful characters who live on Lizard Street. The hero of our story is Ruskin Splinter. But to be honest, Ruskin is a very unlikely hero. Small and thin, with knock-knees, thick glasses, a squeaky voice, no one at Ruskin''s school believes he''s capable of anything - all except for Ruskin''s only friend Corky, the school caretaker. Ruskin is therefore delighted when Corky tells him the terrifying story of Krindlekrax: the giant crocodile who lives beneath their town''s streets. Finally, a chance to prove himself! But can Ruskin really save the day?This witty, off-the-wall story is a classic rip-roaring adventure, from award-winning author Philip Ridley. Packed full of hilarious illustrations, this edition also has fun bonus activities!"Fizzes with life and humour ... outstanding" - Sunday Times

Radiant Vermin - Philip Ridley

“The hallmarks of a Ridley classic; a fast-paced modern fairy-tale that burrows into the dark wormholes of the imagination … reveals how below all that glitters, there’s rarely gold.” Exeunt Ollie and Jill want to tell you about their dream home. Some of the things they did to get it, you might find shocking. But they want you to know they did it all for their baby…A wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a ''too good to be true'' way onto the property ladder. Playful, provocative, and viciously sharp, this outrageous black comedy is a meditation on how far we will go to satisfy - and justify - materialistic greed.Radiant Vermin premiered in 2015 at Soho Theatre, London.This Modern Classics edition features a brand new introduction by Aleks Sierz.

How Innovation Works - Matt Ridley

‘Ridley is spot-on when it comes to the vital ingredients for success’ Sir James DysonBuilding on his bestseller The Rational Optimist, Matt Ridley chronicles the history of innovation, and how we need to change our thinking on the subject. Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society. It is innovation that will shape the twenty-first century. Yet innovation remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businessmen alike.Matt Ridley argues that we need to see innovation as an incremental, bottom-up, fortuitous process that happens as a direct result of the human habit of exchange, rather than an orderly, top-down process developing according to a plan. Innovation is crucially different from invention, because it is the turning of inventions into things of practical and affordable use to people. It speeds up in some sectors and slows down in others. It is always a collective, collaborative phenomenon, involving trial and error, not a matter of lonely genius. It still cannot be modelled properly by economists, but it can easily be discouraged by politicians. Far from there being too much innovation, we may ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nature via Nurture - Matt Ridley

Acclaimed author Matt Ridley''s thrilling follow-up to his bestseller Genome. Armed with the extraordinary new discoveries about our genes, Ridley turns his attention to the nature versus nurture debate to bring the first popular account of the roots of human behaviour.What makes us who we are?In February 2001 it was announced that the genome contains not 100,000 genes as originally expected but only 30,000. This startling revision led some scientists to conclude that there are simply not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave: we must be made by nurture, not nature.Matt Ridley argues that the emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes, too, and genes need nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain; they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will.Published fifty years after the discovery of the double helix of DNA, Nature via Nurture chronicles a new revolution in our understanding of genes. Ridley recounts the hundred years'' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously ...

Evoluce všeho - Matt Ridley

Svou nejnovější knihou Evoluce všeho podnikl přední britský popularizátor vědy Matt Ridley frontální útok na všeobecně rozšířenou představu, že svět je celý naplánovaný a že všechno musí být řízeno shora. Svět, jak podrobně dokládá Ridley, je naopak prostoupen nikým neplánovanou a neřízenou evolucí, která je zdrojem a motorem všeho důležitého nejen v přírodě, ale i ve společnosti; nové věci vznikají spontánně, v drobných a postupných pří- růstcích, zákonitě a metodou pokusu a omylu - všechno jsou to různé verze biologického principu přirozeného výběru, ať jde o jazyk, trhy, vynálezy, morálku, náboženství nebo internet. Většina lidského světa tedy není výsledkem lidského ani jiného plánu, ale produktem lidského konání. Ridley myšlenku primární role evoluce podepírá erudovaně zpracovanými doklady z vědy, technologie, ekonomiky, historie, vývojové psychologie, politiky i filozofie. Evoluce je síla, která formuje naši kulturu, naše technologie, naše mysli a nyní formuje i naši budoucnost.

George V - Jane Ridley

From one of the most beloved and distinguished historians of the British monarchy, here is a lively, intimately detailed biography of a long-overlooked king who reimagined the Crown in the aftermath of World War I and whose marriage to the regal Queen Mary was an epic partnershipThe grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, King George V reigned over the British Empire from 1910 to 1936, a period of unprecedented international turbulence. Yet no one could deny that as a young man, George seemed uninspired. As his biographer Harold Nicolson famously put it, "he did nothing at all but kill animals and stick in stamps.” The contrast between him and his flamboyant, hedonistic, playboy father Edward VII could hardly have been greater.However, though it lasted only a quarter-century, George’s reign was immensely consequential. He faced a constitutional crisis, the First World War, the fall of thirteen European monarchies and the rise of Bolshevism. The suffragette Emily Davison threw herself under his horse at the Derby, he refused asylum to his cousin the Tsar Nicholas II during the Russian Revolution, and he facilitated the first Labour government. And, as Jane Ridley shows, the modern British monarchy would not exist without George; he reinvented ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Evolution of Everything - Matt Ridley

‘If there is one dominant myth about the world, one huge mistake we all make … it is that we all go around assuming the world is much more of a planned place than it is.’From the industrial revolution and the rise of China, to urbanisation and the birth of bitcoin, Matt Ridley demolishes conventional assumptions that the great events and trends of our day are dictated by those on high. On the contrary, our most important achievements develop from the ground up. In this wide-ranging and erudite book, Matt Ridley brilliantly makes the case for evolution as the force that has shaped much of our culture, our minds, and that even now is shaping our future.As compelling as it is controversial, as authoritative as it is ambitious, Ridley’s deeply thought-provoking book will change the way we think about the world and how it works.

Ticho a klid - Charles Ridley

Kniha Ticho a klid je syntezí energetické medicíny těla a mysli, nejmodernější vědy a velmi vyspělé práce s tělem. Zkoumá tělo jako projev a prostředek k vývoji vědomí prostřednictvím kraniosakrální terapie. V této průkopnické knize nám Charles Ridley představuje metodu Breath of Life Cranial Touch (doslovný překlad: Kraniální dotek Dechu života), nemedikální integrální přístup k biodynamice. Nevysvětluje klinickou aplikaci kraniosakrální terapie, ale spíše praxi "nedělání” a naslouchání, kde se Dech života zcela ujímá vedení. Díky cvičením obsaženým ve knize Ticho a klid mohou kraniosakrální terapeuté zdokonalit své dovednosti, popsané přístupy však můžeme použít pro jakoukoliv léčebnou techniku, ať již je to akupunktura, homeopatie, psychoterapie, naturopatie, medicína, spirituální léčení, práce s tělem, pohyb či Somatic Experiencing ®. Dech Života tělo stvořil a léčí ho, bez ohledu na to, skrze jakou modalitu působí.

Od svého prvního vydání v roce 1993 významně přispěla ke změně chápání mnoha aspektů evoluční teorie a stala se klasickým textem. Červená královna je poutavě napsaná encyklopedie nejnovějších vědeckých názorů na lidskou přirozenost. Pojmenována je podle Červené královny z Carrollovy Alenky, která zůstává na místě, ať utíká seberychleji - podobný efekt v evoluci vysvětluje Teorie červené královny, podle níž závody organismů vedou ke stabilní rovnováze. Kniha, která se stala klasikou již krátce po svém vydání, patří do knihovny každého přemýšlivého člověka.

Začíná výslech, souboj mezi Batmanem a Riddlerem, který má odhalit motiv téhle vraždy. Co vlastně Riddler plánuje? *****V této knize najdete dva uzavřené a temné příběhy zaměřené na padouchy v podání skvělých scenáristů, jako jsou John Ridley (Oscar za scénář filmu Dvanáct let v řetězech) a Tom King (Batman, Vision: O trochu horší než člověk, o trochu lepší než zvíře), a úžasných kreslířů, jako je Giuseppe Camuncoli (Sebevražedný oddíl, Batman: Evropa), či Mitch Gerads (Mister Miracle, Strange Adventures, The Sheriff of Babylon).

This is the story of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh - the longest-serving consort to the longest-reigning sovereign in British history. It is an extraordinary story, told with unique insight and authority by an author who knew the prince for more than forty years. Philip - elusive, complex, controversial, challenging, often humorous, sometimes irascible - is the man Elizabeth II once described as her 'constant strength and guide'. Who was he? What was he really like? What is the truth about those 'gaffes' and the rumours of affairs? This is the final portrait of an unexpected and often much-misunderstood figure. It is also the portrait of a remarkable marriage that endured for more than seventy years. Philip and Elizabeth were both royal by birth, both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria, but, in temperament and upbringing, they were two very different people.
