Драконы моря Отчаяния

К полуночи в главном магистрате Империэль Таллас людей почти нет.Только гоблины натирают пол тыквенным соком, да малые демоны ползают по стенам, собирая Усталость, Печаль и Боль, что каждый день приносят с собой посетители…Да из канцелярии слышится скрип перьев – это клерки готовятся к Зодиакальному синедрионy, где лучшие астрологи Тысячеградья выберут новые цвета для неба, луны и звезд на каждый из семнадцати месяцев будущего года.Людей почти нет…Есть только я – лорд Шеннон и ведунья Снежана.И нам поручили новое дело – разобраться с бандами пиратов моря Отчаяния…

How Life Imitates Chess

30,00 

Garry Kasparov was the highest-rated chess player in the world for over twenty years and is widely considered the greatest player that ever lived. In How Life Imitates Chess Kasparov distills the lessons he learned over a lifetime as a Grandmaster to offer a primer on successful decision-making: how to evaluate opportunities, anticipate the future, devise winning strategies. He relates in a lively, original way all the fundamentals, from the nuts and bolts of strategy, evaluation, and preparation to the subtler, more human arts of developing a personal style and using memory, intuition, imagination and even fantasy. Kasparov takes us through the great matches of his career, including legendary duels against both man (Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov) and machine (IBM chess supercomputer Deep Blue), enhancing the lessons of his many experiences with examples from politics, literature, sports and military history.

With candor, wisdom, and humor, Kasparov recounts his victories and his blunders, both from his years as a world-class competitor as well as his new life as a political leader in Russia. An inspiring book that combines unique strategic insight with personal memoir, How Life Imitates Chess is a glimpse inside the mind of one of today’s greatest and most innovative thinkers.

Reynolds: Revelation Space

Nine hundred thousand years ago, something wiped out the Amarantin. For the human colonists now settling the Amarantin homeworld Resurgam, it’s of little more than academic interest, even after the discovery of a long-hidden, almost perfect Amarantin city and a colossal statue of a winged Amarantin. For brilliant but ruthless scientist Dan Sylveste, it’s more than merelty intellectual curiosity – and he will stop at nothing to get at the truth. Even if the truth costs him everything. But the Amarantin were wiped out for a reason, and that danger is closer and greater than even Syveste imagines
