A blow-by-blow account of groundbreaking modernism. Most art historians agree that the modern art adventure first developed in the 1860s in Paris. A circle of painters, whom we now know as Impressionists, began painting pictures with rapid, loose brushwork. ... |

Създаването на История славянобългарска по времето и при условията, в които Паисий Хилендарски живее е изключителен граждански и книжовен подвиг. Подтикван от патриотизъм и от тревога за съдбата на българския род и език, чрез своята книжица, като възкресява славното минало на българите, Паисий се стреми да събуди народностното им съзнание, да им внуши, че имат основание за високо национално самочувствие и гордост. Един от най-важните му аргументи за това е дейността на Константин-Кирил Философ и на Методий. С оценките си за славянските първоапостоли той продължава средновековната традиция на преклонение пред тяхното ... |

This is a book about TRUTH - and all the ingenious ways, throughout history, that we've managed to avoid it. We live in a 'post-truth' age, we're told. The US has a president who openly lies on a daily basis (or who doesn't even know what's true, and doesn't care). The internet has turned our everyday lives into a misinformation battleground. People don't trust experts any more. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the story of how we ... |

Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin's ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. ... |
