Описание: Tim Marshall's global bestseller Prisoners of Geography showed how every nation’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasn’t changed. But the world has.
In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores ten regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain and Space. Find out why Europe’s next refugee crisis is closer than it thinks as trouble brews in the Sahel; why the Middle East must look beyond oil and sand to secure its future; why the eastern Mediterranean is one of the most volatile flashpoints of the twenty-first century; and why the Earth’s atmosphere is set to become the world’s next battleground.
Delivered with Marshall’s trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity’s past, present – and future.

Описание: A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this "stimulating and important book" (Financial Times) from the director of UC Berkeley's Center for Human Sleep Science is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber. As the Guardian said, Walker explains "how a good night's shut-eye can make us cleverer, more attractive, slimmer, happier, healthier, and ward off cancer." With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh Air's most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. Compared to the other basic drives in life--eating, drinking, and reproducing--the purpose of sleep remains more elusive. Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity. In this "compelling and utterly convincing" (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity. He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night's sleep every night. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book. Written with the precision of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Sherwin Nuland, it is "recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense" (TheNew York Times Book Review).

Описание: Internationally acclaimed oracle expert and best-selling author Colette Baron-Reid delivers a gorgeous, deluxe-packaged oracle deck to enhance interactive and meaningful conversations with the Divine Feminine aspect of the universe. Drawing upon the symbolic energy of many goddesses from ancient cultures around the world--energy that can be reflected in any individual--this oracle deck provides loving and clear guidance to those who seek it. The depiction of the goddesses in this oracle is non-traditional in order to blur the lines of what's expected and allow the goddesses to show their archetypal essence--which exists in everyone regardless of culture--while the oracle leaves room for an evolving story. The Great Goddess is calling you to open up and reconnect with the universe in all her forms. The Feminine aspect of the universe is rising to restore balance in the world. Will you answer the call and receive her guidance? Who could we become if we knew how to reclaim our true power? Striking, elegant interpretations of 52 goddesses from cultures all over the world await you in Goddess Power Oracle. Elen of the Ways call you to your path . . . Artemis offers to guide your arrow . . . Cerridwyn urges you to trust in the unlimited potential of your life . . . Because the art is based on photographs of real women, many of the eyes are illuminated to glow with the mystical qualities of that goddess and to imply the eternal light shining from within. May the Great Goddess awaken the light within you too. A special note from Colette: My artist and I created this deck in a deeply respectful spirit, and the way we depict these goddesses is in no way intended to replace their traditional appearances. This is especially true when it comes to the goddesses who are a part of a living religion, such as the Hindu goddesses or the Indigenous goddesses--this multicultural oracle deck would not have been meaningful if these goddesses were left out. The choices in the depictions of the goddesses came from a commitment to the Great Goddess and how She expresses Herself in every woman, every person, and we wanted this deck to show each goddess as a symbolic archetype within a unified whole rather than the actual traditional goddess. We hope you love it
