Join the galactic conversation on the biggest issues in the universe, from the 'most popular scientist in the world'

‘Don't fear change. Don't fear failure. The only thing to fear is loss of ambition. But if you've got plenty of that, then you have nothing to fear at all’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson is arguably the most influential, acclaimed scientist on the planet. As director of the Hayden Planetarium, and host of Cosmos and StarTalk, he has dedicated his life to exploring and explaining the mysteries of the universe.

Every year, he receives thousands of letters – from students to prisoners, scientists to priests. Some seek advice, others yearn for inspiration; some are full of despair, others burst with wonder. But they are all searching for understanding, meaning and truth.

His replies are by turns wise, funny, and mind-blowing. In this, his most personal book by far, he covers everything from God to the history of science, from aliens to death. He bares his soul – his passions, his doubts, his hopes. The big theme is everywhere in these pages: what is our place in the universe?

The result is an awe-inspiring read and an intimate portal into an incredible mind, which reveals the power of the universe to start conversations and inspire curiosity in all of us.

الله لا يرمي النرد

1.400,00 د.ج

كلما تفكرت في تلك الكلمة اكتشفت أنها عبقرية بشكل غير عادى .. عبقرية لدرجة أنها تصلح للرد على أي سؤال لا تجد له إجابة.. أى سؤال في أي زمن، وفي أي مكان.. فأحيانًا، كثرة الأسئلة التي لا تجد لها إجابة في عقلك يمكنها أن تقودك للإلحاد لو كنت ضعيف النفس أو لا تملك الإيمان الكافي للبحث عن الإجابات.. وهذا ما كاد أن يحدث معي أنا نفسي.. الله لا يرمى النرد، وبالمثل؛ لاشئ في الكون خلق عبثا .. ليس معنى أننا لا نفهم الغرض من وجود الكون وكيفية خلقه أنه قد خلق عبنا وبلا مغزى .. كلا بالطبع .. عقولنا دوما ما كانت قاصرة عن فهم كيفية تفكير الإله، ولماذا خلق كل شئ... لماذا خلق البشر والكون هل قرأت الكتاب؟ دخول مراجعة جديدة قرأته اقرؤه ساقرؤه محمود علامه تحميل الكتاب تلك هي القضية العبثية.. كلما تقدم العلم، كلما زادت الأسئلة واكتشفت في قرارة نفسك أنه لا جواب هنالك.. كل ما يمكنك فعله هو التأمل، والتفكير ومحاولة الإستيعاب، فالأدلة موجودة في كل مكان، لكن العقول هي التي تأبى التصديق... شارك أي تلك هي الحقيقة المؤسفة .. قبولها نضج وذكاء، ورفضها حماقة وضيق أفق.. ولكن هؤلاء يفضلون أن يكونوا حمقى على أن يكونوا بشرا ضعفاء... يفضلون التسليم بقوانين الإحتمالات والصدفة، وينسون أن تواجدهم في هذه الحياة، وموقعهم في هذا الكون العظيم، لا يمكن أن يكون صدفة أبدا... وأن الله، أبدا؛ لا يلعب النرد

Veni, vidi, vici : ces grandes défaites militaires qui ont fait la France

1.100,00 د.ج
Product Description
" La défaite est la mère de la victoire. " Proverbe latin

Bien souvent, les nations se souviennent des victoires militaires qui ont fait la grandeur de leur pays, et occultent les défaites. En France, on connaît tous la date de la bataille de Marignan (1515) qui a vu François Ier terrasser les mercenaires suisses en Italie, mais bien moins celle d'Azincourt (1415) qui a infligé à l'armée française une défaite cuisante face aux Anglais. Pourtant, les débâcles militaires ont, elles aussi, fait la France. Sans la déroute de Vercingétorix à Alésia en -52, la Gaule n'aurait jamais été unifiée. Sans la défaite de la France qui mit fin à la guerre franco-prussienne en 1870, la IIIe République n'aurait pu voir le jour. Dans cet ouvrage, Carl Aderhold retrace l'histoire de huit défaites emblématiques : Alésia, Azincourt, la guerre de Sept Ans, Waterloo, Sedan, le Chemin des Dames, la bataille de France et Diên Biên Phu. Délaissant l'analyse simpliste qui voit la défaite militaire comme une catastrophe et la victoire comme un triomphe, l'historien redonne à ces événements la place qu'ils méritent dans le roman national français.
About the Author
Historien de formation, Carl Aderhold a longtemps été éditeur – il a cofondé Vendémiaire, maison d'édition spécialisée en Histoire – avant de se consacrer à l'écriture. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs romans, dont le très remarqué Mort aux cons (Le Livre de Poche, 2009). Chez First, il a publié l'essai Droit d'inventaire avant élection (2017).

Grimm’s Fairy Tales

700,00 د.ج
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender young creature! what a nice plump mouthful – she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both."’
Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original stories that has softened over time.

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty

3.000,00 د.ج
Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.

The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: 42nd Anniversary Omnibus Edition

5.800,00 د.ج
A phenomenon across all formats, this 42nd anniversary paperback omnibus contains the complete Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy in five parts, charting the whole of Arthur Dent's odyssey through space and time. Share and enjoy.

Collected together in this omnibus are the five titles that comprise Douglas Adams' wildly popular and wholly remarkable comedy science fiction 'trilogy', introductions to each book, expanded material from the Douglas Adams archives plus a bonus short story, Young Zaphod Plays It Safe, and a special undeleted scene . . .

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it’s very hard to get a cup of tea.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
When all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about.

Life, the Universe and Everything
Following a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons. Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams. Fenchurch once realised how the world could be made a good and happy place. Unfortunately, she's forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within God's Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it. And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .

Mostly Harmless
Arthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker. However, his plans for a quiet life are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter. There's nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe. After all - he's encountered most of them before.

Troy

2.500,00 د.ج
Stephen Fry's bewitching retelling of the legend of Troy - a tale of love and war, passion and power - following his sensational bestsellers MYTHOS and HEROES

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against that great city, to which they will lay siege for ten whole and very bloody years.

It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course.

It is a terrible, brutal war with casualties on all sides. The Greeks cannot defeat the Trojans - since Achilles, the Greek's boldest warrior, is consumed with jealousy over an ally's choice of lover, the Trojan slave Briseis, and will not fight . . .

The stage is set for the oldest and greatest story ever told, where monstrous passions meet the highest ideals and the lowest cunning.

In Troy you will find heroism and hatred, love and loss, revenge and regret, desire and despair. It is these human passions, written bloodily in the sands of a distant shore, that still speak to us today.

Troy is a myth in which we seek the truth about ourselves, which Stephen Fry brings breathtakingly to life for our modern age.

PRAISE FOR MYTHOS AND HEROES:

'A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' Times

'A head-spinning marathon of legends' Guardian

'An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit' Evening Standard

'An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail

Ruthless Vows

3.400,00 د.ج
TORN APART BY WAR. REUNITED BY LOVE?

Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre’s movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that’s unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor’s reign.

Since waking below in Dacre’s realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together…the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.

She'd failed them. All of them. And now she was paying the price.

Kiva thought she knew what she wanted--revenge. But feelings change, people change . . . everything has changed.

After what happened at the palace, Kiva is desperate to know if her friends and family are safe, and whether those she wronged can ever forgive her. But with the kingdoms closer to the brink of war than they've ever been, and Kiva far away from the conflict, more is at stake than her own broken heart.

A fresh start will mean a perilous quest, forcing mortal enemies and uneasy allies together in a race against the clock to save not just Evalon, but all of Wenderall. With her loyalties now set, Kiva can no longer just survive--she must fight for what she believes in. For who she believes in.

The War of the Worlds

3.900,00 د.ج
The first modern tale of alien invasion, H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential science fiction novels ever published.

The night after a shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common in London. At first, naïve locals approach the cylinder armed just with a white flag - only to be quickly killed by an all-destroying heat-ray, as terrifying tentacled invaders emerge. Soon the whole of human civilisation is under threat, as powerful Martians build gigantic killing machines, destroy all in their path with black gas and burning rays, and feast on the warm blood of trapped, still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear. The War of the Worlds has been the subject of countless adaptations, including an Orson Welles radio drama which caused mass panic when it was broadcast, with listeners confusing it for a news broadcast heralding alien invasion; a musical version by Jeff Wayne; and, most recently, Steven Spielberg's 2005 film version, starring Tom Cruise.

This Penguin Classics edition includes a full biographical essay on Wells, a further reading list and detailed notes. The introduction, by Brian Aldiss, considers the novel's view of religion and society.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
