Àííîòàöèÿ: From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have an enormous, dedicated following, as do his deeply researched answers to his fans' strangest questions. The queries he receives range from merely odd to downright diabolical: - What if I took a swim in a spent-nuclear-fuel pool? - Could you build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns? - What if a Richter 15 earthquake hit New York City? - Are fire tornadoes possible? His responses are masterpieces of clarity and wit, gleefully and accurately explaining everything from the relativistic effects of a baseball pitched at near the speed of light to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Life has been a bit Yawnsome since I, Summer Holly Love, trained my golden Labrador, Honey, to become a Doggy of Well-Behaved and Quietish Proportions. Which is why it's so faberoony-tastic that Honey is expecting her VERY OWN LITTER of pups! Now that she is a mum-to-be, her eating habits have gone loop-the-loop crazy, and she keeps building Strange nests all over our house. Meanwhile, I am having to sort out my sister's Love Dramas with her boyfriend, Nick the vet, who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of Honey's tiny pups make everyone happier or will our household simply dissolve into Mayhem and Chaos?

Àííîòàöèÿ: ...it is an universal phenomenon of our nature that the mournful, the fearful, even the horrible, allures with irresistible enchantment. - Chaucer Burr, Memoir, 1850. The Wordsworth Book of Horror Stories is a superb collection of some of the greatest tales of the genre, many are classics while others are lesser-known gems unearthed from this vintage era of the supernatural

Àííîòàöèÿ: Saki (H.H.Munro) stands alongside Anton Chekov and O.Henry as a master of the short story. His extraordinary stories are a mixture of humorous satire, irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried. Among the short stories are the well-known classics, "Sredni Vastar" and "The Unrest Cure".

Àííîòàöèÿ: The short story has developed into Canada s healthiest and most versatile literary genre. Several Canadian novelists - Morley Callaghan and Hugh Garner, for example - are better known abroad for their short stories than for their novels. And many of Canada s best authors write virtually nothing but short stories: Mavis Gallant, Norman Levine, Alice Munro, W.D. Valgardson, and others.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In the thirteen stories in her remarkable second collection, Alice Munro demonstrates the precise observation, straightforward prose style, and masterful technique that led no less a critic than John Updike to compare her to Chekhov. The sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends in these stories shimmer with hope and love, anger and reconciliation, as they contend with their histories and their present, and what they can see of the future.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A powerful new collection from one of our most beloved, admired, and honored writers.In stories that are more personal than any that she—s written before, Alice Munro pieces her family—s history into gloriously imagined fiction. A young boy is taken to Edinburgh—s Castle Rock, where his father assures him that on a clear day he can see America, and he catches a glimpse of his father—s dream. In stories that follow, as the dream becomes a reality, two sisters-in-law experience very different kinds of passion on the long voyage to the New World; a baby is lost and magically reappears on a journey from an Illinois homestead to the Canadian border.Other stories take place in more familiar Munro territory, the towns and countryside around Lake Huron, where the past shows through the present like the traces of a glacier on the landscape and strong emotions stir just beneath the surface of ordinary comings and goings. First love flowers under the apple tree, while a stronger emotion presents itself in the barn. A girl hired as summer help, and uneasy about her —place— in the fancy resort world she—s come to, is transformed by her employer—s perceptive parting gift. A father whose early expectations of success at fox farming have been dashed finds strange comfort in a routine night job at an iron foundry. A clever girl escapes to college and marriage.
