An insider⠙s view of science reveals why many scientific results cannot be relied upon ⠓ and how the system can be reformed.Science is how we understand the world. Yet failures in peer review and mistakes in statistics have rendered a shocking number of scientific studies useless ⠓ or, worse, badly misleading. Such errors have distorted our knowledge in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, physics, nutrition, education, genetics, economics, and the search for extraterrestrial life. As Science Fictions makes clear, the current system of research funding and publication not only fails to safeguard us from blunders but actively encourages bad science ⠓ with sometimes deadly consequences.Stuart Ritchie⠙s own work challenging an infamous psychology experiment helped spark what is now widely known as the ⠜replication crisis,⠝ the realization that supposed scientific truths are often just plain wrong. Now, he reveals the very human biases, misunderstandings, and deceptions that undermine the scientific endeavor: from contamination in science labs to the secret vaults of failed studies that nobody gets to see; from outright cheating with fake data to the more common, but still ruinous, temptation to exaggerate mediocre results for a shot at scientific fame.Yet Science Fictions is far from a counsel of despair. Rather, it⠙s a defense of the scientific method against the pressures and perverse incentives that lead scientists to bend the rules. By illustrating the many ways that scientists go wrong, Ritchie gives us the knowledge we need to spot dubious research and points the way to reforms that could make science trustworthy once again.

They say you eat with the eyes. But we now know that smell, texture, temperature, colour and even atmosphere â “ down to the background music â “ influence how we perceive flavour.As anyone who has lost their sense of taste will know, flavourless food is dull and monochrome - it is flavour that brings food into full technicolour life. Yet it s not always easy to make something tasty; the secrets to flavour can baffle chefs and scientists alike.Food science expert Dr Stuart Farrimond explores major flavour categories such as salt, acid and heat (from chillies) and how they interact, and profiles all the major foods from individual fruit, veg, herbs and spices to the building blocks such as rice and wheat that give us stapes like bread, pasta, and noodles. With pairing notes for every ingredient, you ll soon be inventing new recipes.

The most popular anthology of Jorge Luis Borges s short stories, Fictions is a wildly original and influential collection of fantastic tales, translated from the Spanish with an afterword by Andrew Hurley in Penguin Modern Classics.Jorge Luis Borges s Fictions introduced an entirely new voice into world literature. It is here that we find the astonishing accounts of Funes the Memorious , the man who can forget nothing; Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote , who recreates Miguel de Cervantes s epic word-for-word; a society run on the basis of an all-encompassing game of chance in The Lottery in Babylon ; the mysterious world of Tloen, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius which seems to be supplanting our own ; and the Library of Babel , which contains every possible book in the whole universe. Here too are the philosophical detective stories and the haunting tales of Irish revolutionaries, gaucho knife fights and dreams within dreams which proved so influential (and yet impossible to imitate). This collection was eventually to bring Borges international fame; over fifty years later, it remains endlessly intriguing.Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher s Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett). He has a reasonable claim, along with Kafka and Joyce, to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.If you enjoyed Fictions, you might like Italo Calvino s The Complete Cosmicomics, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

Fictional stories have long held an uncanny power over hearts and minds, especially those of young people. In Dangerous Fictions, Lyta Gold traces arguments both historical and contemporary that have labelled fiction as dark, immoral, frightening, or poisonous. Within each she asks: How dangerous is fiction, really? And what about it provokes waves of moral panic and even censorship? Gold argues that any panic about art is largely a disguised panic about power. There have been versions of these same fights over fiction for centuries. By exposing fiction as a social danger and a battleground of immediate public concern, we can see what each side really wants - the right to shape the future of a world deeply in flux and a distraction from more pressing material concerns about money, access, and the hard work of politics. From novels about people driven insane by reading novels to copaganda TV shows that influence how viewers regard the police, Gold uses her signature wit, research, and fearless commentary to point readers toward a more substantial question: Fiction may be dangerous to us, but aren t we also dangerous to it?

In the wake of Donald Trump s election, renowned medievalist Patrick Boucheron delivered a powerful, probing series of lectures on political fictions in the context of rising authoritarianism and populism. Adapted here for the first time in English, they offer key insights into how we arrived at our current global moment and what history can teach us about moving forward. Long before Trump parlayed his reality TV character into a presidential victory with the MAGA movement, aspiring rulers have used the art of storytelling and the power of fable to control others. Discussing seminal works from Machiavelli s The Prince and Hobbes s Leviathan to Orwell s 1984 and the writings of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, Boucheron explores the profound interconnectedness of political theory and fiction, and the tension between politics and the political.

Stále jsem se držel představy, že kdo umře, spí až do soudného dne, kdy bude souzen a následně poslán do nebe či do pekla. O zkušenosti, kterou jsem právě prožíval, se tam nikdy nemluvilo. Náhle se začaly dít podivuhodné věci. Světlo na kraji postele začalo narůstat na intenzitě. Nejprve jsem si myslel, že je to ta malá noční lampička, než jsem si všiml, že to světlo přichází zpoza nočního stolku v čele postele. Soustavně zvyšovalo svou intenzitu, až se zdálo, jako by společně zářilo milion svářeček. Vím, že kdybych se do něj díval svýma lidskýma očima namísto těch duchovních, zcela jistě bych oslepl. Pak se v jednom okamžiku udály tři věci. Něco hluboko uvnitř mě coby duchovní bytosti řeklo: „POSTAV SE. NACHÁZÍŠ SE V PŘÍTOMNOSTI BOŽÍHO SYNA.“ Náhle jsem vyskočil z postele. Ze zářivého světla v čele postele vystoupila ta nejnádhernější bytost, jakou jsem kdy poznal. Nemocniční zdi zmizely a namísto nich jsem viděl živoucí panoráma celého mého života, v němž byly do detailů zaznamenány všechny mé prožitky od císařského řezu při narození až po nedávnou smrt. Byl jsem v přítomnosti Jediného, který prohlásil: „Jsem alfa i omega, počátek i konec, kterýž jest a kterýž byl a kterýž přijíti má, Pán všemohoucí.“ Georgie Ritchie se během přípravného studia na University of Richnond ve Virginii rozhodl přerušit studia a po vzoru svého otce v době 2. světové války vstoupit do armády. Jeho cílem bylo bojovat proti německému fašismu v této válce a být nápomocen jeho porážce. V průběhu vojenské přípravy však onemocněl těžkým zápalem plic, na který nakonec zemřel. Jeho „smrt“ trvala pouhých devět minut, poté ho lékaři zachránili přímou injekcí do srdce. Co se v průběhu oněch devíti minut odehrálo, situace a dimenze, v nichž se v té krátké době ocitl, navždy změnily jeho pohled na život, a jelikož se stal lékařem (specializoval se na psychaiatrii) – pak také na jeho lékařskou profesi a na přístup k uzdravování svých pacientů. Byl to především Znovuvzkříšený Kristus, který mu poodestřel oponu zásmrtního bytí a společně s všemohoucím Bohem v něm definitivně probudili hlubokou víru v Nejvyššího a nasměrovali tak jeho veškeré počínání. Díky hlubokému vhledu, víře a netradičnímu přístupu ke svým pacientům jim skutečně pomáhal k uzdravení, a to i když byli ve zdravotně velmi těžkých situacích. Smrtelně nemocné pacienty dovedl k přijetí konečnosti pozemského bytí a zbavení se strachu ze smrti. O tom, co se během oněch devíti minut dělo, a o tom, jak na něj toto prozření zapůsobilo, vypráví ve svých knihách Návrat ze zítřka (česky 2006) a Světlo po smrti I. (česky 1995). Rovněž kniha, kterou máte právě v rukou, se touto tematikou zabývá.

Známý urbexer vystupující pod pseudonymem Unlimited Freedom – Ritchie podnikl v září 2021 nelegální cestu do oblasti černobylské jaderné elektrárny. Svůj příběh živě popisoval na sociálních sítích desítkám tisíc fanoušků, kteří tak měli možnost nahlédnout do zapovězené Černobylské zóny, kam se běžný smrtelník nedostane. Publikace zachycuje jeho autentické popisy z putování krajinou skrze ukrajinské lesy až do centra Zóny, jež doprovází na dvě stovky unikátních barevných fotografií. Jejich prostřednictvím tak čtenář může nahlédnout do zakázané zóny a zjistit, jaké to je šplhat na pověstné ruské kolo v legendárním městečku Pripjať, prozkoumávat opuštěné budovy nebo co dělat, když vstoupíte do radiací zamořené vody; a také jaké to je, když vás při tom všem zadrží černobylská policie, posílená ukrajinskou tajnou službou poté, co policie zjistí, že jeden z urbexerů má v pasu ruské razítko, na Ukrajině tolik nepopulární...

Přepadá vás někdy úzkost ze stavu naší planety? Klimatická změna, ztráta biodiverzity nebo oceány plné plastů jsou zásadní problémy – ale panika nám nepomůže o nic víc než popírání. Hannah Ritchie rozebírá sedm hlavních environmentálních výzev lidstva a ukazuje, jak je můžeme zvládnout. Pokud uspějeme, poprvé v historii dosáhneme skutečné udržitelnosti.V knize najdete mnohá překvapivá fakta, například: omezením konzumace hovězího masa pomůžeme planetě víc než tříděním odpadu, miliony lidí sice umírají na následky znečištěného ovzduší, ale dnes dýcháme nejčistší vzduch za posledních sto let, růst velkoměst přírodu neničí – život v nich je naopak pro Zemi šetrnější. Lidstvo už zvládlo vypořádat se s ozonovou dírou — a je schopné poradit si i s klimatickou změnou.

The definitive reference guide to C programming from K R for writing good code that works and is easy to modify Learn how to program in C from the developers of C, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Intended for those with at least some experience with one other language (even if you are a novice), this book contains a tutorial introduction to get new users started as soon as possible and separate chapters on each major feature: Types, operators, and expressionsControl flowFunctions and program structurePointers and arraysStructuresInput and output This second edition of The C Programming Language describes C as defined by the ANSI standard and includes a reference manual that conveys the essentials of the standard in a smaller space for easy comprehension for programmers. K R is one of my favorite books.The style of the tutorial chapters is so deceptively light and simple and the manual so crisp. Much of C s reputation of simplicity comes from the clarity and great little examples from this book. My 1978 copy has lost its cover and my K R2 is somewhat dog eared.Above all, K R is a useful book.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the troubled accession of England s first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605).Contrary to traditional assumptions, James s accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James s reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred.Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities. But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James s inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.

*FEATURING A FOREWORD BY ROD STEWART*Stuart Wood #39;s love of music was ignited at fourteen when he, along with three schoolmates, formed a band. By the time he turned fifteen, he had left school to pursue a career as an electrician, blissfully unaware of the whirlwind that awaited him. Suddenly, he found himself living the life of a superstar, whisked away in limousines, pursued by frenzied fans on every continent, and thrust into the ranks of one of the bestselling groups in history.Between 1971 and 1977, Edinburgh #39;s Bay City Rollers achieved ten top-ten hit singles, four top-ten albums, two number-one singles and two number-one albums. For five years, they were the biggest pop teen sensation since the Beatles.But the music industry was not all glitz and glamour. Stuart had no inkling of the ruthless machinery behind the scenes, exploiting his talent and dreams.Rollermania swept the globe, the Bay City Rollers conquered hearts and charts, selling a staggering 300 million records. While many claim to know the full Rollermania story, for the first time, Stuart - one of the few people who lived it - tells his story.

Born the son of Scotland s last telescope-maker, Stuart Braithwaite was perhaps always destined for a life of psychedelic adventuring on the furthest frontiers of noise in MOGWAI, one of the best loved and most ground-breaking post-rock bands of the past three decades.Modestly delinquent at school, Stuart developed an early appetite for alternative music in what might arguably be described as its halcyon days, the late 80s. Discovering bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and Jesus and Mary Chain, and attending seminal gigs (often incongruously incognito as a young girl with long hair to compensate for his babyface features) by The Cure and Nirvana, Stuart compensated for his indifference to school work with a dedication to rock and roll . . . and of course the fledgling hedonism that comes with it.Spaceships Over Glasgow is a love song to live rock and roll; to the passionate abandon we ve all felt in the crowd (and some of us, if lucky enough, from the stage) at a truly incendiary gig. It is also the story of a life lived on the edge; of the high-times and hazardous pit-stops of international touring with a band of misfits and miscreants.

Nobody chooses to be bald. Nobody wants to look into the mirror and be confronted with an absence. Nobody gains any comfort from having a slightly better idea of what their skull looks like. Stuart Heritage has been bald for two years. But before he accepted the inevitable, he spent a number of years ineptly trying to conceal this fact with an array of expensive treatments and terrible haircuts. Can a man go bald with dignity? Maybe. But can a man go bald with more dignity than Stuart Heritage? Oh good god yes, and this book is his attempt to make that happen for you. Part-memoir-part-manual, Stuart brings us a self-deprecating, funny and genuinely helpful guide to being bald: what really happens, why it matters and how to feel much less crap about it.

Vivid poems full of drama and action by award-winning poet Stuart Dischell. Sometimes elegiac, sometimes deadly comic, and always transformative, The Lookout Man embodies the energy, spirit, and craft that we have come to depend upon in Stuart Dischell s poetry. Inhabiting a mix of lyric structures, these poems are set in diverse locales from the middle of the ocean to the summit of Mont Blanc, from the backyards of America to the streets of international cities. There is a hesitant, almost encroaching wisdom in The Lookout Man, as Dischell allows his edgy vision and singular perspectives to co-exist with the music of his poems. In lines that close the book and typify Dischell s work, he writes, I will ask the dogwoods to remind me // What it means to live along the edges of the woods, / To be promiscuous but bear white flowers.

First published as part of the best-selling The Oxford Illustrated History of Britain, John Morrill s Very Short Introduction to Stuart Britain sets the Revolution into its political, religious, social, economic, intellectual, and cultural contexts. It thus seeks to integrate what most other surveys pull apart. It gives a graphic account of the effects of a century-long period during which population was growing inexorably and faster than both the food supply and the employment market. It looks at the failed attempts of successive governments to make all those under their authority obedient members of a unified national church; it looks at how Charles I blundered into a civil war which then took on a terrifying momentum of its own. The result was his trial and execution, the abolition of the monarchy, the house of lords, the bishops, the prayer book and the celebration of Christmas. As a result everything else that people took for granted came up for challenge, and this book shows how painfully and with what difficulty order and obedience was restored. Vividly illustrated and full of startling detail, this is an ideal introduction to those interested in getting into the period, and also contains much to challenge and stimulate those who already feel at home in Stuart England.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
