A deeply personal and candid remembrance of the late Senator John McCain from one of his closest and most trusted confidants, friends, and political advisors.

Нас определяют истории. Они лежат в основе наших убеждений и верований, характеров и вкусов. Тысячелетия назад умение складывать захватывающие сюжеты помогало нам расселяться по планете, поддерживать связь, проводить и стирать границы между племенами. А с недавних пор еще и писать книги, снимать фильмы и придумывать виртуальные миры. Но почему мы так любим истории? Ответ кроется в устройстве нашего мозга. С помощью последних достижений нейронаук Уилл Сторр объясняет, что корни всемирной славы Шекспира лежат в эволюции, в чем сила «Гражданина Кейна» и « Красоты по-американски» и чему мы можем научиться у самих себя. По мнению Сторра, жизнь каждого человека – блестящий сценарий, только пишут его не высшие силы, а наш мозг, ежеминутно наполняя происходящее смыслом и предназначением. «Внутренний рассказчик» переворачивает представление о литературном мастерстве и навыках сценариста и показывает, как истории рождаются в наших головах – и как авторы киноблокбастеров и признанных литературных шедевров манипулируют глубинными слоями подсознания.

There are canyons all over the planet, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona is not the biggest.

Starting with a brief overview of how national parks came into being, this book covers all aspects of the canyon--how it formed, which early native people lived there, and what varied wildlife can be found there now. A history of the canyon's end-to-end exploration in the late 1860s and how the Grand Canyon became such a popular vacation spot (5 million tourists visit every year) round out this informative, easy-to-read account.

Learn about the Eiffel Tower, beloved and iconic symbol of Paris, France, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world! When the plans for the Eiffel Tower were first announced, many people hated the design of the future landmark, calling it ungainly and out of step with the beautiful stone buildings of the city. But once it went up for the World's Fair in 1889, the people of Paris quickly fell in love with the tower. Today it seems impossible to imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, which greets millions of visitors each year who climb up its wrought-iron stairs, ride its glass elevators, and enjoy the wonderful views of the city spread out below it.
