This book looks at one of the most fundamental of our species' distinguishing characteristics: the use of language. The author argues that our language abilities are part of our genetic inheritance, not a cultural artefact, bringing together Darwinian natural selection and Chomsky's linguistics. The author debunks many of the standard facts — the dozens of Eskimo words for snow, the belief that we think using language, that English is a logic-defying tongue — and shows that language is a basic human instinct.

Lister gazed out of the porthole and catalogues the series of disasters that had led him to this point in space and time: the bad decisions, the poor career choices, the unreliable friendships that had led him here — on a prison ship bound for the most inhospitable penal colony in the outer cosmos... and all he'd ever wanted was to be a soft metal guitar icon. This is the beginning of the third and eagerly awaited red dwarf novel where Lister starts out by searching for his Doppelganger and ends up having the future of the human race on his shoulders.

That's what it seems like Garrett has committed himself to when Blake Peters calls in some overdue favors. Someone is trying to kill Peters's boss, wealthy, retired General Stantnor, in a most lingering, painful, and maybe poisonous way. Can Garrett keep the general among the living? But Stantnor's mansion holds a host of surprises for a detective who thought he'd seen it all. While the general is dying slowly, his employees are losing their lives at a far speedier rate. And when some of the recently departed try to enlist their comrades in the growing legions of the dead, Garrett knows it's time to call in one of his own troops — in the person of Morley Dotes, the toughest half-elf around. With Morley guarding his back, Garrett has to find a way to get his hands on both the killer and the mansion's two elusive beauties, who are invisible to everyone but Garrett!

Название: LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER

«Lyric and sensual, D.H. Lawrence's last novel is one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. Filled with scenes of intimate beauty, explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband's estate. The most controversial of Lawrence's books, «Lady Chatterly's Lover» joyously affirms the author's vision of individual regeneration through sexual love. The book's power, complexity, and psychological intricacy make this a completely original work — a triumph of passion, an erotic celebration of life. Nobody concerned with the novel in our century can afford not to read it.»
