<strong>The third and final updated edition of David Attenborough's classic <em>Life</em> trilogy.<em> Life on Earth</em> covered evolution, <em>Living Planet </em>, ecology, and now <em>The Trials of Life</em> tackles ethology, the study of how animals behave.</strong> <br/><br/>'This is, quite simply, the best thing I've ever done.' Sir David Attenborough on the TV series, <em>The Trials of Life</em>, upon which this book is based. <br/><br/>This is the third and last of Sir David's great natural history books based on his TV series and competes his survey of the animal world that began with <em>Life on Earth</em> and continues with <em>Living Planet</em>. <br/><br/>In <em>Life on Earth</em>, Sir David showed how each group of animals evolved. In<em> Living Planet</em> he looked at the way they have adapted to the whole range of habitats in which they live. Now, in <em>Trials of Life</em>, he completes the story by revealing how animals behave - and why.

A Brief History of Time for the 21st CenturyAt the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. Its secrets lie waiting to be discovered. It's time to explore our universe's most mysterious inhabitantsBlack HolesAt the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole 4 million times more massive than our Sun.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A place where space and time are so warped that light is trapped if it ventures within 12 million km. According to Einstein, inside lies the end of time. According to 21st-century physics, the reality may be far more bizarre.Black holes lie where the most massive stars used to shine and at the edge of our current understanding.<br/><br/><br/><br/>They are naturally occurring objects, the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into not enough space. And yet, although the laws of nature predict them, they fail fully to describe them.Black holes are places in space and time where the laws of gravity, quantum physics and thermodynamics collide. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply could not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have begun to glimpse a new synthesis; a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in which space and time emerge from a network of quantum bits, and wormholes span the void.In this groundbreaking book, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw take you to the edge of our understanding of black holes; a scientific journey to the research frontier spanning a century of physics, from Einstein to Hawking and beyond, that ends with the startling conclusion that our world may operate like a giant quantum computer.

Trimeresurus albolabris is to me an iconic snake. I have a few specimens of the species at home in my basement and it is a very nice snake to keep in a terrarium. I have also had the privilege of having this species on my snake hook in its natural habitat.<br/> The book tries to cover everything about the species, from husbandry to the pit viper's role in the Vietnam War.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE<br/><br/>A wry, provocative and very funny debut novel about identity, authenticity and the self in the age of the internet <br/><br/>'I loved it' Zadie Smith 'Brilliant, very funny' Guardian 'Prepare to feel very seen' I-D<br/><br/>On the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration, a young woman snoops through her boyfriend's phone and makes a startling discovery: he's an anonymous Internet conspiracy theorist, and a popular one at that. Already fluent in Internet fakery, irony, and outrage, she's not exactly shocked by the revelation. But this is only the first in a series of bizarre twists that expose a world whose truths are shaped by online lies.<br/><br/>Suddenly left with no reason to stay in New York - or be anywhere in particular - she flees to Berlin, and embarks on her own cycles of manipulation in the deceptive spaces of her daily life, from dating apps to expat social events, open-plan offices to bureaucratic waiting rooms. Narrated in a voice as seductive as it is subtly subversive, Fake Accounts is a wry, provocative and very funny debut novel about identity and authenticity in the age of the internet.
