    The acclaimed food critic’s two-thousand-year history of going out to eat, from the ancient Romans in Pompeii to the luxurious Michelin-starred restaurants of today.Starting with the surprisingly sophisticated dining scene in the city of Pompeii, William Sitwell embarks on a romp through culinary history, meeting the characters and discovering the events that shape the way we eat today. The Daily Telegraph restaurant critic and famously acerbic MasterChef commentator, Sitwell discusses everything from the far-reaching influences of the Muslim world to the unintended consequences of the French Revolution. He reveals the full hideous glory of Britain’s post-WWII dining scene and fathoms the birth of sensitive gastronomy in the counterculture of 1960’s America. This is a story of human ingenuity as individuals endeavor to do that most fundamental of things: to feed people. It is a story of art, politics, revolution, desperate need, and decadent pleasure. The Restaurant is jam-packed with extraordinary facts and colorful episodes; an accessible and humorous history of a truly universal subject.

    In 1980, computers were instruments of science and mathematics, military secrets and academia. Stern administrators lorded over sterile university laboratories and stressed one point to the wide-eyed students privileged enough to set foot within them: Computers were not toys.Defying authority, hackers seized control of monolithic mainframes to create a new breed of computer game: the roguelike, cryptic and tough-as-nails adventures drawn from text-based symbols instead of state-of-the-art 3D graphics.Despite their visual simplicity, roguelike games captivate thousands of players around the world. From the author of the bestselling Stay Awhile and Listen series, Dungeon Hacks introduces you to the visionaries behind some of the most popular roguelikes of all time, and shows how their creations paved the way for the blockbuster video games of today—and beyond.

    Dear readers, 
We write to you with an urgent call to immerse yourself in the pages of "Silenced Voices: Testimonies of Life in Palestine." This book is much more than a set of stories; It is a bridge connecting distant realities and a window to the profound experiences of life in Palestine, a place where voices have historically been silenced. 
Each page of this book offers a unique opportunity to understand the complexity of Palestinian history, from roots and identity to resilience, childhood, women, memories of the land, and reflections toward the future. It is an invitation to look beyond conventional narratives, to listen to individual voices that have been eclipsed by the noise of conflict and geopolitical tensions. 
By reading "Silenced Voices," you will help challenge stigmas and prejudices, humanize the experiences of those who have faced unimaginable challenges, and build bridges of understanding. This book is a call to action, a reminder of the importance of empathy and solidarity in building a more just world. 
We encourage you to share this call to action with friends, family, and communities. Invite them to join this journey of knowledge and understanding, so that together we can amplify these silenced voices and contribute to a more informed dialogue about the reality in Palestine. 
Let us not allow these voices to remain silent. Let's make "Silenced Voices" a catalyst for change, a tool for education and an inspiration for action. Reading this book will not only enrich your perspective, but will also be an act of solidarity with those whose stories deserve to be heard.

    About 60,000 years ago, the first Homo sapiens were just beginning their move across the grasslands and up the ladder of civilization. Everything since then, as they say, is history. Just in case you were sleeping in class that day, the geniuses at mental_floss magazine have put together a hilarious (and historically accurate) primer on everything you need to know—and that means the good stuff.Twelve core chapters of world history tackle everything from civilization's baby steps in the Fertile Crescent to the Not-Really-That-Dark-Unless-You-Lived-in-Europe Ages to A World United by Terror and TV. From the Golden Haemorhoids of the Philistines (punishment from above) to the likely namesake of the cartoon elephant Babar (a Mongol prince) to the most pressing language translation issues facing the menus of today ("carp" vs. "crap"), all of history's most interesting bits have finally been handpicked and roasted to perfection.
