Richard Appignanesi Book order (chronological)

Based on his most famous case study - that of Russian aristocrat,Sergei Pankejeff - Sigmund Freud recounts the history of anobsessional neurosis. Pankejeff's troubling dream of a walnut tree full of white wolves earned him the title of 'The Wolf Man'. Pankejeff is one of five clinical case histories from which Freud extrapolated his theories of transference, the Oedipus complex, super-ego and psychosexual development. Freud's now classic psychoanalytic writing blurred the boundary between science and literature, which continues to provoke fierce debate to this day.

„Čtyři noci utečou jak sen," říká královna Amazonek Hippolyta v jedné z nejslavnějších Shakespearových komedií, která se všemi svými náhlými zvraty, proměnami postav a nepřetržitým proudem okouzlující fantazie sama uteče jak sen. Adaptace, která propojuje klasický shakespearovský jazyk v brilantním překladu Martina Hilského s moderním, dynamickým grafickým stylem japonské mangy, se odehrává v současných Aténách, ale přesto z velké části zachovává antický ráz, který námětu přísluší. Výsledkem je představivostí hýřící snový svět, kde se staré a nové prolíná s překvapivou lehkostí. Sen noci svatojánské je čtvrtým svazkem edice Manga Shakespeare, která představuje dílo největšího světového dramatika a básníka prostřednictvím japonské mangy. Důraz přitom neklade jen na vizuální styl, ale dbá i na krásu Shakespearova jazyka a na dramaturgické zpracování každé hry. Edici Manga Shakespeare tak ocení všichni, kteří se chtějí seznámit s nádherně barevným, krutým i laskavým světem Shakespearových her, ale nechce se jim chodit do divadla či sáhnout po „pouhém" neilustrovaném textu.

In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory - evolution by natural selection. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory still challenges some of our most precious beliefs. Introducing Evolution provides a step-by-step guide to 'Darwin's dangerous idea' and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. Drawing on the latest findings from genetics, ecology and animal behaviour - as well as the work of best-selling science writers such as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker - a string of brilliant examples, superbly illustrated by Howard Selina, reveals how the evidence in favour of evolutionary theory is stronger than ever. With wit and clarity, Dylan Evans addresses many puzzling issues: Did life first evolve on other planets? What's the advantage of having sex? Why do your parents look after you? And what good to a bird is half a wing? From the death of the dinosaurs to the development of digital organisms, Introducing Evolution brings Darwin up-to-date with the latest scientific discoveries. This is the ideal guide to the most important idea ever to appear in the history of science

In the process, we encounter the scientific luminaries of Imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday and Newton. We learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones and why nothing can go faster than the speed of light, and follow Einstein's thought as he works his way towards the most famous equation of the 20th century.
