Найти книгу: "Crimes against Nature"

Crimes against Nature reveals the hidden history behind three of the nation's first parklands: the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. Focusing on conservation's impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these «crimes» and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Почему мы занимаемся сексом? Одной из главных причин, утверждает Ридли, является борьба с болезнью. Постоянно объединяя и рекомбинируя гены каждого поколения, "людские гены на шаг опережают организмы-паразиты", укрепляя тем самым устойчивость к бактериям и вирусам, которые вызывают смертельные заболевания или эпидемии. Теория "Красной Королевы", получившая название от имени шахматной фигуры в Зазеркалье Кэрролла, которая функционирует, не двигаясь с места, эта гипотеза является лишь одной из спорных идей, которые были изложены в этом остроумном, элегантном письменном исследовании. Ридли, лондонский ученый и бывший редактор Economist утверждает, что мужчины полигамны по той очевидной причине, что тот пол, которому приходится тратить больше времени и энергии на создание и воспитание потомства, будет стремится избежать дополнительных спариваний. Женщины, хотя и гораздо меньше заинтересованы в нескольких партнерах, будут прелюбодействовать, если окружены посредственными партнерами. По не совсем убедительному выводу Ридли даже свойства интеллекта завязаны на секс: артистизм, индивидуальность, изобретательность и связанные с этим черты, которые делают людей сексуально привлекательными.

Quite a number of books have been published about the zapovedniks of Russia (which are strictly protected State nature reserves) but so far most of those books have been scientific. There are very few colourful popular publications, which can be readily understood by a broad readership. The creators of this book have worked hard to make their contribution to fill this gap. The easy, narrative text immerses readers into the world of preserved nature, giving the feeling that they are travelling within those beautiful areas. At the same time one can get to know the history of the zapovedniks, which was often difficult and dramatic. However, it is not enough to merely read about nature. It is also essential for understanding to see that nature. The wonderful photographs of landscape and wildlife, taken by our leading nature photographers, also form a significant and exciting part of this book. The authors and publishers of this book believe that when readers see and understand the beauty of our Russian Nature Reserves – their forests, mountains and tundra; their steppelands and coastlines – they will feel at one with nature. Realising its riches, they will want to make their own contribution to the good cause of nature conservation.

This book will tell you who stirred Hitler into his suicidal decision to attack Stalin. It will tell you who were the real godfathers of the worst catastrophe in the history of Russia that went off on June 22, 1941. You will learn who gave money to Hitler and his party, helping the Nazi to power. Revealed in this book is the real reason behind the Nazi regime – aggression against the USSR to correct a previous blunder of Western intelligence that had led to Bolshevism in Russia. Instead of quietly disappearing with their loot, Lenin and his crew remained in the country and pieced it together into a global superpower, refusing to give it over to the West. Abundant evidence cited in this book helps trace the whole logic of events starting from September 1919 up to June 1941. The reader will emerge enlightened about who were the true preachers and masterminds of World War II, and who must share responsibility with the Nazi for their hideous crimes.
