We say a lot about ourselves by what we don`t say. Words and phrases like `collateral damage`, `wardrobe malfunction`, `vertically challenged`, and old favourites like `unmentionables` (trousers, apparently) or `lady of the night` - all are ways of not using particular words. UNMENTIONABLES is a rollicking exploration of the history of euphemistic usage, looking at how taboos connected to sex, death, religion, war, politics, business and matters of status have produced an extraordinary linguistic creativity, and how euphemistic speech has changed over the centuries. It looks at how euphemisms are born, and how they die (or `experience a negative outcome`) and it explores why it is that we create euphemisms, and the different purposes -...

The wealthy woman was dead - a trifle sooner that expected. The intricate trail of horror and senseless murder led from a beautiful Hampshire village to a fashionable London flat and a deliberate test of amour - staged by the debonair sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey.

Hugh meditates returning to his former mistress. His son, Randall, dreams of abandoning his shapeless marriage for a perfect partner. Randall`s young daughter, Miranda, is adored by her Australian cousin Penn, but has relentless attachments elsewhere. Randall`s wife Ann, the central character, takes upon herself the strains and pains of all the others, while being the victim of her own private dream. The irony and pathos of this tangled situation has extended Iris Murdoch`s powers to the full, but her mastery of it is complete. Impelled by affection, lust, illusion, and dissolution, wanting to be free yet needing to be involved, these characters perform the linked figures of their destiny. Формат: 13 см x 19,5 см.

The wizards at Ankh-Morpork`s Unseen University are renowned for many things - wisdom, magic, their love of teatime - but athletics is most assuredly not on the list. So when Lord Vetinari, the city`s benevolent tyrant, strongly suggests to Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully that the university put forth a football team composed of faculty, students, and staff - or lose the funding that pays for their nine daily meals - the more-than-usually-at-sea UU wizards find themselves in a quandary. To begin with, they have to figure out just what it is that makes this sport of foot-the-ball so popular with Ankh-Morporkians of all ages and social strata. Then they have to learn how to play it. Oh, and on top of that, they must somehow win a football...

UNStudio, led by Dutch architects Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, creates spaces that are surprisingly innovative. Their work doesn`t rehash Modernism but rather embraces the digital age via the invention of new, time-based techniques expanding the imagination, exploding the hierarchy of the design process, and encouraging the input of different disciplines. UNStudio`s architecture is the result of a design strategy that repeatedly and constantly advances in different ways via leitmotifs called "design models." The most important examples of this new kind of architecture are the New Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart and the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, which has become the town`s new landmark. Another manifest aim is to come up with...
