Summary

A wonderful book sure to appeal to a wide audience, be they history buffs fans, Shakespeare aficionados, bibliophiles, or historical mystery fans
Conversational in tone and exhaustively researched, SHAKESPEARE'S LIBRARY explores not only the possible final resting places of the books that profoundly shaped one of most influential bodies of work in the English language, but also the implications of what Shakespeare's reading habits might have on what we know about who he was and what he wrote
Stuart's last book with Counterpoint, THE LIBRARY (April 2017), was a critically acclaimed success, especially among librarians, and readers can expect more of the same from Stuart in SHAKESPEARE'S LIBRARY
Available since: 04/02/2019.

    All humans, but no other species, have the capacity to create and understand language. It provides structure to our thoughts, allowing us to plan, communicate, and create new ideas, without limit. Yet we have only finite experiences, and our languages have finite stores of words. Where does our linguistic creativity come from? How does the endless scope of language emerge from our limited selves?Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and linguistics, David Adger takes the listener on a journey to the hidden structure behind all we say (or sign) and understand. Along the way you'll meet children who created language out of almost nothing, and find out how new languages emerge using structures found in languages spoken continents away. David Adger will show you how the more than 7000 languages in the world appear to obey the same deep scientific laws, how to invent a language that breaks these, and how our brains go crazy when we try to learn languages that just aren't possible. You'll discover why rats are better than we are at picking up certain language patterns, why apes are far worse at others, and how artificial intelligences, such as those behind Alexa and Siri, understand language in a very un-human way.

    Both Arthur Conan Doyle and Gilbert Keith Chesterton are known as masters of the detective. But not everyone know the first one as the only breadwinner of a large family, a participant in a whale hunt, a physician, a participant in the Boer War and World War I, the author of a simple love story, and the second as a poet, artist, religious thinker, playwright, literary critic and even a lecturer on radio. Despite the interesting full life and many merits of both writers, they are especially appreciated by fans of detective. It is to them that modern writers are obliged to create a flexible plot, logically perfect reasoning, to bewitch and intrigue the reader.Doyle's detective is an intellectual, a logician. Chesterton's sleuth is an intuitive. Common to both detective stories is the realistic depiction of everyday life and psychology, social relations and conflicts, the romantic acuteness of events and characters, the fascination of intellectual games. Detectives are based on the belief in the power of reason and assert the triumph of law and order.Professional American actor Adam Muskin will accompany you in the labyrinths of the intellectual game.In the collectition:A.C.
