Под парусом в одиночку вокруг света
Первое одиночное, безостановочное, кругосветное плавание на парусной яхте
Robin Knox-Johnston - 2004-01-30 (впервые опубликовано в 1969)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Если вы хотите узнать как прожить на маленькой парусной лодке с именем "Suhaili" десять с половиной месяцев, двигаясь к знаменательному достижению во имя своей родины - первому одиночному, безостановочному, кругосветному плаванию на парусной яхте - то прочитайте эту книгу. С юмором и искренностью автор рассказывает о своём невероятном приключении, в течение которого ему пришлось преодолевать всевозможные искушения сдаться, отказавшись от продолжения борьбы: питьевая вода в баках загрязнилась, гроза вывела радио из строя, самоуправляемый рулевой механизм развалился, гик грот-мачты рухнул, румпель отсутствовал. Тем не менее, он отказался сдаваться. Книга Робина Нокс-Джонстона - это увлекательный и вдохновляющий отчет об одном из величайших морских приключений нашего времени.

Гонка века book cover
Гонка века
Самая громкая авантюра столетия
Nicholas Tomalin - 2003-05-21 (впервые опубликовано в 1970)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Осенью 1968 года английский яхтсмен Дональд Кроухерст решил прославиться и разбогатеть, совершив в одиночку морское кругосветное путешествие в рамках гонки на приз "Золотой Глобус". Вскоре после отплытия он понял, что честно это соревнование ему не выиграть, и задумал совершенно безумную авантюру... Но когда победа уже была у него в кармане, Кроухерст перестал выходить на связь, а спустя некоторое время его яхта была найдена посреди Атлантического океана пустой.Эта книга проливает свет на полную загадок историю великого морского приключения. Крупнейший обман столетия и борьба человека со своей совестью и идеалами - повествование держит в напряжении до последней страницы, словно детектив. Перед нами жизнь великого мечтателя, который так поверил в желаемое, что оно стало действительностью. И, как и в жизни, здесь нет ни положительного, ни отрицательного героя. Невероятная по силе психологическая история о том, как блестящий ум может измениться под воздействием одиночества, амбиций, героизма и сознания собственного несовершенства.

Discover how to adopt a long-term perspective in this thought-provoking book, which uses the construction of The Clock of the Long Now as a framework.

Combining visionary philosophical inquiry with the chronicling of fantastic technology, this mind-expanding book is a must-read for anyone who wants to think differently about time.

"[Brand's] book is the first I know to explicitly explore what long-term thinking really is, or could be. He takes it as a concept and pulls it apart to examine it. That’s a real intellectual shift in the history of long-term thinking.... He’s an amazing, pithy prose stylist."      источник

Путешествия Гулливера book cover
Путешествия Гулливера
Jonathan Swift - 2017-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1726)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Гулливер... такой знакомый и такой любимый! И в то же время благодаря множеству прекрасных иллюстраций какой-то новый. Талантливой молодой художнице удалось очень тонко почувствовать эпоху и атмосферу сказки, поэтому иллюстрации получились достойными замечательного произведения. Для младшего и среднего школьного возраста. Цветные иллюстрации Ольги Подивиловой. Пересказ Тамары Габбе. Выдающееся произведение мировой литературы принадлежит перу английского писателя Джонатана Свифта (1667-1745). В своем фантастическом повествовании о путешествиях Гулливера в разные выдуманные страны Свифт высмеивает государственный строй и общественные порядки современной ему Англии, выступает непримиримым врагом лживости, лицемерия и тирании. Увы, мироустройство и людские нравы во все времена почти не меняются, поэтому роман "Путешествия Гулливера" и сегодня актуален для любой страны, в том числе и для нашей.
