Мантры для здоровья и долголетия
В книге рассказывается о загадках и тайнах человеческого организма, о втором мозге, о старении, о влиянии оксида азота, диоксида углерода, дружественных бактерий, о химии любви, о роли кислотности пищи, атмосферных ионов, феромонов, ароматов, земных и космических сил на здоровье и долголетие. В ней синтезированы ценные мантры для сохранения здоровья и продления жизни современного человека, проживающего в загрязненной окружающей среде, далеко от живительной природы, питающегося суррогатной пищей, испытывающего постоянный стресс. В этом смысле она рассчитана на исключительно широкий круг читателей.

Краткая история пьянства от каменного века до наших дней. Что, где, когда и по какому поводу
История нашего вида сложилась бы совсем по другому, если бы не счастливая генетическая мутация, которая позволила нашим организмам расщеплять алкоголь. С тех пор человек не расстается с бутылкой – тысячелетиями выпивка дарила людям радость и утешение, помогала разговаривать с богами и создавать культуру.

Истоки современной политической мысли. Том 1. Эпоха Ренессанса
В первом томе своего капитального исторического труда, проясняющего истоки политической мысли Нового времени, Квентин Скиннер излагает методологические принципы своего исследования и объясняет, чем они отличаются от традиционного «текстуалистского» подхода. В первой части тома речь идет об истории республиканского идеала свободы, который начал формироваться в XII – начале XIV века в городах Северной Италии благодаря местной правовой и риторической культуре, а также под влиянием схоластики. Вторая часть посвящена истории политической мысли XV века: Скиннера интересует вопрос о том, насколько она отличается от предшествующей традиции и, в частности, до какой степени Макиавелли наследует и трансформирует гуманистическое понятие добродетели. Распространение гуманистической учености, происходившее в XV – начале XVI века за пределами Италии, составляет содержание третьей части тома. На примере сочинений Эразма Роттердамского, Томаса Мора, английских теоретиков «общего блага» Скиннер показывает, как изменяется традиционное гуманистическое отношение к добродетелям правителя, войне и социальному неравенству.
