David Meikle Knihy

Píše se leden 2002 a nic nenasvědčuje blížící se tragédii. Helle Aminová žije s manželem, který je původem ze Saúdské Arábie, a čtyřmi syny v krásném domě na indonéském ostrově Bali. Svého muže poznala během univerzitních studií a byla to láska na první pohled. Ve společném životě se však postupně objevují trhliny. Manžel se stále častěji kloní k tradičnímu islámskému pojetí domácnosti, všechna práva si uzurpuje pro sebe a k ženě se chová hrubě, vylévá si na ní jen vztek a uráží ji za každou maličkost. Přesto jeho další krok přichází jako blesk z čistého nebe. Když se jednou Helle vrátí domů, zjistí, že muž i všichni synové jsou pryč. Manžel je odvezl do Saúdské Arábie a ženě jen telefonicky suše oznámí, že Helle své děti už nikdy neuvidí...

Essential reading for anyone involved in the buying, management, or the creation of advertising.

This book gives an accessible account of the history of the Universe; not only what happened, but why it happened. An author of textbooks on the early Universe and inflation, David Lyth now explains both cosmology and the underlying physics to the general reader. The book includes a detailed account of the almost imperceptible structure in the early Universe, and its probable origin as a quantum fluctuation during an early epoch known as the epoch of inflation. It also explains how that early structure is visible now in the cosmic microwave radiation which is our main source of information about the early Universe, and how it gave rise to galaxies and stars. The main text of the book assumes no knowledge of mathematics or physics so that it is accessible to everybody, while an appendix contains more advanced material. As a result the book will be useful for a wide spectrum of readers, including high-school students, undergraduates, postgraduates and professional physicists working in areas other than cosmology. It will also serve as “additional reading” for university courses in general astronomy, astrophysics or cosmology itself.

Emphasizing the importance of preparation, the book highlights how musicians ensure they are in tune before performing, paralleling this with the often hasty approach taken in marketing and advertising. It advocates for the necessity of 'Tuning Up' in professional relationships, suggesting that a solid foundation is crucial for success in these fields. By drawing this comparison, the author encourages a more deliberate and harmonious approach to collaboration in marketing.

In the 60s, Ronnie and Reggie Kray were Britain's most notorious gangsters. The Twins began earning more money inside than they ever did on the streets. The Krays: The Prison Years explores the fascinating and largely untold story of the Kray twins following their imprisonment.

Expertly guided by renowned cosmologist Dr. David Lyth, learn about the pioneering scientists whose work provided the foundation for Einstein's formulation of his theories of relativity, and about Einstein's groundbreaking life and work as well. This highly readable and accessible panorama of the field delicately balances history and science as it takes the reader on an adventure through the centuries. Without complex mathematics or scientific formulae, this book will be of interest to all, even those without a scientific background, who are intrigued to find out more about what paved the way for one of our most famous physicists to push the boundaries of physics to new lengths. Features: Written by an internationally renowned physicist and cosmologist Describes the life and times of Einstein and his important predecessors Focuses on one of the most famous areas of science, Einstein's Relativity Theory ous areas of science, Einstein's Relativity Theory
