    "All the world's a stage", William Shakespeare wrote, "And all the men and women merely players." Sit back as the curtain goes up on the dramas, sonnets, and life of one of the greatest writers in the English language.

    Shakespeare wrote or contributed to more than 40 plays, ranging from romantic comedies to the profound tragedy King Lear, as well as 154 sonnets. The Shakespeare Book has visual plot summaries of each one, with diagrams to show the intricate web of relationships in plays such as A Midsummer's Night Dream. Commentaries explain Shakespeare's sources and set each drama in context, revealing, for instance, how the warring Protestants and Catholics of his day are mirrored in Romeo and Juliet's Montagues and Capulets.

    Written in plain English and packed with graphics and illustrations, The Shakespeare Book illumines the Bard's world - his marriage, businesses, and friends - and explains how his works became an enduring phenomenon.
    This is also the key to help you decode quickly for more obscure plays. All plays and major works are discussed in a very accessible aspect. Each chapter focuses on a play and has a brief summary, which is the overwhelming theme, the famous lines, the list of characters, settings and dates, plus the timeline and context of the play. The book is presented in a stylish modern graphic art design, with images and images of famous performances and films.

    Whether you're in need of a guide through complex storylines and unfamiliar language, or you're looking for a new perspective on his beloved plays and sonnets. I firmly believe this indispensable Shakespear anthology will help you fully appreciate Shakespeare, a true man and writer of all time.

    Whether you're a newcomer to Shakespeare or a longtime fan of the works, young or old, this is a useful and interesting book.

     Discover 80 trail-blazing scientific ideas, which underpin our modern world, giving us everything from antibiotics to gene therapy, electricity to space rockets and batteries to smart phones.

    What is string theory or black holes? And who discovered gravity and radiation? The Science Book presents the fascinating story behind these and other of the world’s most important concepts in maths, chemistry, physics and biology in plain English, with easy to grasp “mind maps” and eye-catching artworks.

    Albert Einstein once quoted Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Follow context panels in The Science Book to trace how one scientist’s ideas informed the next. See, for example, how Alan Turinnbg’s “universal computing machine” in the 1940s led to smart phones, or how Carl Linnaeus’s classifications led to Darwin’s theory of evolution, the sequencing of the human genome and lifesaving gene therapies.

    I really love this book, with its excellent installation, which is very accessible. It may be suitable for children over the age of 10 who like to explore early and it's a great book for adults who want to refresh their knowledge. What's more, I love how the book's layout and how science is placed in its historical and time context – making it all in the most harmonious way.

    "Philosophy is a way of thinking about things- from what the world around us is like, to what beauty is, to the existence of God. These are BIG questions, and to get the bottom of them, philosophers ask BIG questions."
    Have you ever been asked "How can you be sure that the sun will rise tomorrow?" Or something like "I don't think your friend is beautiful!?". It seems that the question and answer always revolves around us, and maybe each person will have his or her own answer. Why is there such a difference in perception?!

     Philosophy for beginners is the answer for me. It not only appears alone, but it is a separate and very wide field for us to explore. In the first pages of research, the book shows us the aspects in which Philosophy appears including Epistemology, Religion, Mind, Metaphysics, Ethics, Aesthetics, Political Theory, Logic and language, etc. We appear and accompany human life in an invisible but extremely tight way. Those things are certain and it will become uncertain when you find out philosophy. "Is there a set of equal, free and happy laws that are suitable for all?".
     Particularly, from that one story through the lens of each person, it their own different lessons. This is because many philosophers have rejected the idea that language and words have a fixed definition. They argue that the meaning of a word depends on how it is used in a sentence, how it is expressed, and the language itself.
     In my opinion, this is like a journey of learning about different ways of thinking and behaving through psychology and philosophy. Not too many technical words, simple examples in normal life which accurately describe the problem posed through each page. Thanks to that, you can both learn philosophy out there and in yourself.
