Краткое описание:

  Кто сказал что НФ умерла? Нет, она затаилась - на время. Взаимодействие личности и искусственного интеллекта, воскрешение из мертвых и чудовищные биологические мутации, апокалиптика и постапокалиптика, жесткий киберпанк и параллельные Вселенные, головокружительные приключения и неспешные рассуждения о судьбах личности и социума - всему есть место на страницах «Бозона Хиггса». Равно как и полному возрастному спектру авторов: от патриарха отечественной НФ Евгения Войскунского до юной дебютантки Натальи Лесковой.

Краткое описание:

  Полгода спустя после трагедий, названных в прессе "Смерть в домино", я не перестаю размышлять о том, возможно ли было не допустить произошедшего. Мог ли я за неделю, день или хотя бы час до начала злополучных представлений сложить два и два, как сложил потом, понять то, что понял слишком поздно, и… Что?

Краткое описание: Travel in Israel and the Palestinian Territories is a two-sided coin. On the one hand, Israel itself is modern and westernised, with great public transport, infrastructure and plenty of English-speakers. It’s a small country, which makes travel times short and travel costs fairly inexpensive. But overall, prices tend to be high for the region - plan on spending as much as you would in most Western countries. Very little pre-trip planning is needed in terms of visas, tours or accommodation and you could literally fly there on a whim and organise as you go.

Краткое описание: Ireland is a complex, often contradictory country, and those contradictions are evident everywhere you go, from the thatched rural pub advertising wi-fi connection and imported Australian wines to the group of Polish-born schoolkids chatting away to each other in Irish. No sooner do you make an assumption about the place than something will confound you completely, leaving you none the wiser than before you began. But don’t worry, you’re in good company: most of the Irish are as confused about it as you are.

Краткое описание: Iran’s first organised settlements were established in Elam, the lowland region in what is now Khuzestan province, as far back as the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Elam was close enough to Mesopotamia and the great Sumerian civilisation to feel its influence, and records suggest the two were regular opponents on the battlefield.

Краткое описание: Indonesia is big, cheap, rough and effortless. It’s everything to everyone, a choose-your-own-adventure travel destination. With little more than a passport, sunscreen and a day’s notice, urban-fatigue victims arrive dazed at Denpasar to recover in comfortable Balinese resorts. With a of planning and preparation, explorers can put packs to their backs and chart six-month rugged routes in which time, energy and a keen sense of adventure are the chief companions.

Краткое описание: With its mind-bending diversity - from snowcapped mountains to sun-washed beaches, crusty old bazaars to chichi designer boutiques, tranquil temples to feisty festivals, ramshackle rural villages to techno-savvy urban hubs - it’s hardly surprising that India has been dubbed the planet’s most multidimensional country.

The subcontinent is home to more than a billion people, and its eclectic melange of ethnic groups translates into an intoxicating cultural cocktail for the traveller. For those on a spiritual quest, India has oodles of sacrosanct sites and stirring philosophies, while history buffs will discover gems from the past almost everywhere - from grand vestiges of the British Raj peering over frenetic city streets, to battle-scarred forts rising from forlorn country fields.
