Romeo and Juliet (Wordsworth Classics)
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Professor of English Literature, University of Sussex Love, sex and death are the components of Shakespeare's classic story of the love of two young people which reaches across the barriers of family and convention. It encompasses great love, high drama, low comedy and a tragic ending. Romeo and Juliet is a pure tragedy of youth told in verse that is both youthful and intense. The loveliness and the music of the poetry make believable the otherwise commonplace afflictions of blighted love.

Rhapsodic
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she's been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she's received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear.Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He's a man who can get you anything you want ... at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects.But for one of his clients, he's never asked for repayment. Not until now. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it's just a chaste kiss-a single bead's worth-and a promise for more.For the Bargainer, it's more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that's been awoken.If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he'll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.
Factfulness
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty: why the world’s population is increasing: how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future.
Sur la crise
Écologie, économie, politique... Il n'est pas de domaine qui ne soit hanté par l'idée de crise. Et pourtant, ce mot galvaudé, synonyme d'incertitude et de rupture, s'est comme vidé de l'intérieur, jusqu'à devenir "grossier et creux". Avec clarté et sagesse, Edgar Morin tente de lui redonner un peu d'épaisseur et de faire émerger une conscience de la crise en analysant les bouleversements qui ont secoué le XXe siècle, pour réfléchir ensuite à notre entrée dans le XXIe siècle, entre chaos et renaissance. En envisageant la crise comme une sorte de laboratoire pour étudier in vitro l'évolution de la société, Edgar Morin interroge le destin de l'identité humaine et rend possible l'avènement d'une nouvelle vision du monde.

Le monde a-t-il été créé en sept jours ?
From the Back CoverComment la croyance peut-elle aller à l'encontre de ce que l'on sait ? Derrière cette question, volontairement provocante, Pascal Picq interroge les origines de l'Univers, de la Vie, et de l'Homme sur la Terre. S'appuyant sur la longue histoire des sciences, il montre en creux la résistance de nos esprits modernes à comprendre le monde hors des sentiers sacrés. Les questions sur les commencements, nous dit-il, importent autant que leurs réponses, variées et riches. Car la curiosité humaine ne se tarit jamais. Au cours des derniers siècles, Charles Darwin puis Albert Einstein ont repoussé les limites du monde. Visionnaires conscients - et inquiets aussi - de briser des tabous, ils ont ouvert des voies essentielles à la recherche moderne. On sait depuis que rien n'est éternel, que tout évolue : l'Univers, la Vie et l'Homme...About the AuthorPascal Picq est paléoanthropologue. Après une thèse à l'université Paris VI et des études postdoctorales à l'université Duke (États-Unis), il a introduit l'éthologie dans le champ de l'anthropologie évolutionniste et poursuit désormais ses travaux sur l'évolution en cours de l'Humanité. Il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages parmi lesquels Le monde a-t-il été créé en sept jours ? (collection Champs Flammarion) et 2017 de Premiers Hommes ainsi que sa version illustrée Premier Homme, et une version pour les enfants Premier Homme, les dernières découvertes scientifiques expliquées aux enfants (Flammarion, 2017). Il publie en 2019, L'Intelligence artificielle et les chimpanzés du futur (Odile Jacob).

DNA: The Secret of Life, Fully Revised and Updated
Along with Francis Crick, James Watson was the discoverer of the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, realising both how it was able to reproduce itself and how, through its immense variety, it was able to pass on genetic instructions from one generation to the next. Their discovery paved the way for fifty years of explosive scientific achievement of extraordinary importance, both in strictly scientific terms and in its technological and social significance. From Dolly the sheep to GM foods to designer babies, science-related newspaper headlines have been dominated by the implications of their work. In DNA , now fully updated and revised to include new findings in gene editing, epigenetics and agricultural chemistry, as well as two entirely new chapters on personal genomics and cancer research, Watson tells the story of this pioneering research and its impact on the world in which we live, from its beginnings to the present day. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative exploration of DNA’s impact – practical, social, and ethical – on our society and our world.
