Pioneering study of the science behind quantum computing and what the new quantum reality will mean for mankind • The quantum computer is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum computers – which, like Schrцdinger’s famous ‘dead and alive’ cat, rely on entities like electrons, photons or atoms existing in two states at the same time – is set to turn the computing world on its head • In his fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology, John Gribbin updates his previous views on the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where ‘everything is real’

Pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile is on his way to be detained at His Majesty's Pleasure when he is offered a lifeline, what seems like a freedom of sorts - the job of personal valet to a departing naval captain.

Пруды: небольшие водоемы, как естественного, так и искусственного происхождения, где обитают удивительные, разнообразные формы жизни. Пруды определяют наше детство: лягушачью икру, золотых рыбок, кормление уток, а также нашу деревенскую жизнь, наши фермы, наш ландшафт. И они многослойны - от карпа, кружащего у дна, до водяных лодочников, лысухи и птиц-стрекоз над головой. В книге "Тихая вода. Глубинная жизнь пруда" Джон Льюис-Стемпел погружается в темные глубины, как в буквальном, так и в переносном смысле, чтобы исследовать тихие воды британской сельской местности в течение каждого месяца года • Книга на английском языке • Great nature writing needs to be informative, detailed, accurate, lyrical, and, above all, to instil a sense of gratitude and wonder
