"For a person to write a book like this, he has to love art, passionately and selflessly, and to love, of course, the artist as well. The author possesses these qualities in full measure. But even with the love, enthusiasm, and admiration that permeate the entire book, it in no way amounts to a glorification, veneration, or canonization of Zlatyu Boyadzhiev’s image. Quite the opposite - the author has succeeded in keeping a necessary distance, allowing him the opportunity to combine an up-close and a distant view of the artist. He doesn’t carve a monument, he doesn’t paint an icon; rather, he presents a dynamic image, ... |

"Книгата на Димана Йорданова ще донесе голям успех и труден въпрос. Успехът ще върне усещането, че освен чувство за ирония и самоирония, в стиховете трябва да има и съдба. Въпросът е: къде ще отиде, когато сърцето е обходено докрай под толкова аплодисменти? И в двата случая книгата си заслужава до последен ред. И дъх." Александър Секулов "Стиховете на Димана се прецеждат като лунна светлина през телефонните жици и разнасят шумоленето на разговорите, минаващи през тях. Чувствам се като съгледвач сред преплетените споделяния и не мога да спра да попивам думите." Проф. Христофор Караджов "След ... |

What if we could improve our ability to predict the future? Everything we do involves forecasts about how the future will unfold.

The problem is, we're not very good at it. In a landmark, twenty-year study, Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed that the average expert was only slightly better at predicting the future than a layperson using random guesswork. Tetlock's latest project - an unprecedented, government-funded forecasting ... |

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.

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 ... |

In it, Jared Diamond explores what makes us human and poses fascinating questions. If we share more than 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, how is it that we can write, read, talk, build telescopes and bombs, while we put our speechless and bomb-less close relatives in cages and zoos? What can woodpeckers teach us about spacecraft? Is genocide a human invention? Why does extinction matter? Why are we destroying the natural resources on which we depend for survival? ... |
