Avasta põnev füüsikamaailm Kuulus teadlane Onu Albert ning tema nõbu Gedanken kasutavad mõttemulli lahendamaks Aja ja Ruumi suurimaid müsteeriume. Nende seiklusloos avastad, miks ei saa liikuda kiiremini kui valgus, kuidas vananeda kiiremini kui su ema, kuidas võtta kaalus juurde paksuks minemata ning kuidas elada igavesti, ilma ise sellest teadmata.

Kes on kangelane? Kas tõde on olemas? Mida mõtleb mees, kes kingib vaenlasele elu? Kas saab olla hea kirjanik, olles tõeline tõbras? Millal surnud päriselt surevad? Kes päästab tsivilisatsiooni? „Aga teate mis? Rahus ei ole kangelasi… Kangelased on kangelased ainult siis, kui nad surevad või kui nad ära tapetakse. Ja tõelised kangelased sünnivad sõjas ja surevad sõjas. Elusaid kangelasi pole olemas, noormees. Kõik on surnud. Surnud, surnud, surnud.” Javier Cercas (1962), üks Hispaania nüüdisaegse proosakirjanduse suuri meistreid, elab Kataloonias ning on Girona ülikooli hispaania kirjanduse õppejõud ja päevalehe El País kolumnist. Oma romaanides tugineb Cercas dokumentaalsetele faktidele lähiajaloost ning vastuolulistele ja intrigeerivatele tõesti elanud isiksustele. „Salamise sõdurid” (2001) on Cercase läbimurderomaan, mis on koha leidnud viimaste kümnendite Hispaania mõjuvaimate teoste seas. Romaani teljeks on riigi viimaks vennatapuni viinud ideoloogia ühe looja, luuletaja Rafael Sánchez Mazase lugu, eelkõige dramaatiline episood kodusõja lõpupäevilt, kui tal ime läbi õnnestus mahalaskmiselt põgeneda ja hiljem tänu vaenlase leeri kuuluvate lihtsate sõdurpoiste inimlikule abile ellu jääda.

In these two years (2011-2012) the 10th anniversary of two of the primary cornerstones of our e-State were marked in Estonia. On December 17, 2011 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of X-Road – a middleware allowing secure data exchange between different databases. By January 2012, ten years had passed from the issuing of the first ID-card in Estonia. It is a pleasure to acknowledge that the mentioned projects initiated at the end of 1990-ies have proved to be a success and a millionth digital signature was given on December 3, 2012. The yearbook also focuses on other areas of significant developments during the two recent years, such as open data, green ICT, cyber security and development of high-speed Internet. The yearbooks about Estonian information society developments are published since 1996 and can be found http://www.riso.ee/en/publications/natpublications

“No poet of recent years has possessed this need of expressing his life to others, more imperatively, pitifully, or tragically than Paul Verlaine, because no other poet was so weak to the press of destiny.” From prominent writer Stefan Zweig comes the biography of one of the greatest representatives of the fin de siècle in international and French poetry – Paul Verlaine.

See on nii romantiline! Mitu inimest on mu käsikirja kohta kasutanud just seda fraasi ja neil on õigus: noor kriisis ameeriklane armub põnevasse eestlannast ajakirjanikku ning alustab teekonda, mis taastab noormehe usu endasse ja maailma. Nõus. See on romantiline. Aga see teekond ei olnud lihtne. Välismaalane saabub keset kõige pimedamat talve ja peab jääma ellu sel kõige õnnetuma saatusega Skandinaaviamaal, kus iga perekonda kummitavad minevikuõudused, kus inimesed söövad verest tehtud vorste ja tarretiseks keedetud lihatükke, joovad sooja leivajooki, ning hilinemise eest võib neid tabada surmanuhtlus. Ma hakkasin seda maad armastama tema ilus ja inetuses, ja armastasin edasi ka neil hetkedel, kui mind maale tagasi lasta ei tahetud.

How We Think by John Dewey is a classic book about thinking. The contents of Dewey’s book are applicable to innovation, learning, business management, and many other fields. John Dewey’s view of thinking, and thinking skills, as elaborated in “How We Think” is surprisingly fresh and consistent. Dewey warns against the confusion of mental analysis (looking for the general aspects of an object) with physical analysis (dissection into parts), which leads to the study of living objects as if they were dead. John Dewey’s thought is the essence of systems thinking, which is so fashionable today. In “How We Think,” John Dewey also concludes that we can be taught to “think well” and discusses how. Starting with beliefs and the consequences they bring about, Dewey suggests that knowledge is relative to its interaction with the world, concluding in the end that real freedom is intellectual. According to Dewey, the act of thinking itself is in many cases more important than what is being thought about. Dewey’s analysis of thought will help readers to consider important elements of thinking (and writing) such as: (1) the iterative “ebb and flow” between inductive and deductive thinking; (2) what is necessary to train their minds to think better. Though written years ago, “How We Think” is an easy book to read and well worth the time spent on it.
