Настоящая книга является продолжением книги «К сознанию великого физика», каким был ученый и космолог Стивен Хокинг.

Великая эвольвента
В «Великой Эвольвенте» В. Сиротин продолжает тему, заявленную им в книге «Цепи свободы», но акцент он переносит на историю Руси-России. Россия, полагает автор, живёт ещё несобытийной жизнью. Неслучившиеся события подчас являются главными в истории Страны, так как происходящее есть неизбежное продолжение «внутренней энергетики» истории. Сама же структура надисторической жизни явлена системой внутренних компенсаций, «изгибы» которых автор именует Эвольвентой.

The Philosopher's Diet
"As befits a good Stoic, Farnsworth’s expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calm… Throughout The Practicing Stoic , Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others. As a result, this isn’t just a book to read—it’s a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity." — The Washington Post The most helpful and practical philosophy ever devised. The advice the Stoics provided centuries ago is still the best anyone has offered and it's as useful today as it was then—or more. Stoicism means knowing the difference between what we can control and what we can't, and not worrying about the latter. The Stoics were masters of perspective, always taking the long view while remembering that life is short. And they were deep and insightful students of human nature, understanding how we manage to make ourselves miserable as well as how we seek and can find fulfillment.The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. Ward Farnsworth brings them all together and systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyone—the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times.
