The Rating of Chess Players, Past and Present
One of the most extraordinary books ever written about chess and chessplayers, this authoritative study goes well beyond a lucid explanation of how todays chessmasters and tournament players are rated. Twenty years' research and practice produce a wealth of thought-provoking and hitherto unpublished material on the nature and development of high-level talent: Just what constitutes an "exceptional performance" at the chessboard? Can you really profit from chess lessons? What is the lifetime pattern of Grandmaster development? Where are the masters born? Does your child have master potential? The step-by-step rating system exposition should enable any reader to become an expert on it. For some...
Spokój i inne opowiadania
Tematem, jaki przewija się przez wszystkie opowiadania niniejszego zbioru jest spokój. Najbardziej namacalnie występuje on w pierwszym z nich (Spokój); ukazany tu został jako stan pożądany w obliczu traumy, którą bohater przepracowuje, antycypując pogląd psychologii na ten temat. 1498 to opowiadanie osadzone w piętnastowiecznej, teokratycznej Florencji, rządzonej przez Girolama Savonarolę; ukazuje niebezpieczeństwo, jakie może grozić osobie izolującej się we własnym świecie – w świętym spokoju, nie zaznajomionej w tematach ogólnych realiów.

Genius
New York Times Bestseller: This life story of the quirky physicist is “a thorough and masterful portrait of one of the great minds of the century” (The New York Review of Books). Raised in Depression-era Rockaway Beach, physicist Richard Feynman was irreverent, eccentric, and childishly enthusiastic—a new kind of scientist in a field that was in its infancy. His quick mastery of quantum mechanics earned him a place at Los Alamos working on the Manhattan Project under J. Robert Oppenheimer, where the giddy young man held his own among the nation’s greatest minds. There, Feynman turned theory into practice, culminating in the Trinity test, on July 16, 1945, when the Atomic Age was born. He was only twenty-seven. And he was just getting started. In this sweeping biography, James Gleick captures the forceful personality of a great man, integrating Feynman’s work and life in a way that is accessible to laymen and fascinating for the scientists who follow in his footsteps.
