Modern life is often described as an iron cage from which there is no escape. But popular culture venerates leisure and travel as authentic escape routes from routine and monotony. However what kind of escape is tolerated in modern society? How is it shaped by historical expectations of leisure and travel? And what do we actually experience when we engage in leisure or travel activity? This fascinating and accomplished book tries to supply answers to these questions. A major scholarly contribution to the sociological analysis of leisure, pleasure and travel, Dr Rojek's study is a radical challenge to the existing paradigmatic orthodoxy. Bryan S. Turner, University of Essex.

A Nobel Prize–winning economist tells the remarkable story of how the world has grown healthier, wealthier, but also more unequal over the past two and half centuries The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Nobel Prize–winning economist Angus Deaton—one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty—tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind. Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts—including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions—that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape. Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.

Когда на улицы Таркова опускается тьма, когда обычные люди, вчера ещё бывшие добрыми соседями, начинают убивать друг друга за банку консервов. Когда привычный порядок в одночасье сменяется диким беспределом… Обычный офисный хомяк внезапно превращается в жестокого и безжалостного Хищника. Клавиатура отброшена в сторону, в руках — тяжелый дробовик. Возврата к прошлому больше нет, остаётся только одно — стать самым страшным зверем в этих каменных джунглях. Добро пожаловать в Тарков! Эта книга написана под впечатлением от игры «Escape from Tarkov». Посмотрим поближе на одного из участников — Дикого! И если про метаморфозы уголовников все понятно, то как Диким становится обычный человек, вчерашний офисный работник? Сможет ли он переступить всё и превратиться в хищного зверя? Оказывается, да, причём достаточно быстро. Привыкшие к клавиатуре руки столь же спокойно станут нажимать уже не кнопку «Enter», а спусковой крючок. Не вызовет особого сомнения и необходимость обыскать ещё теплое тело противника. Недолго будут терзать муки совести. А вот сможет ли такой хищник остаться в душе человеком? И сохранить хоть какие-то положительные черты? Зайдём в Тарков — там всё и посмотрим.

The famous story of mass escape from a WWII German PoW camp that inspired the classic film. One of the most famous true stories from the last war, The GREAT ESCAPE tells how more than six hundred men in a German prisoner-of-war camp worked together to achieve an extraordinary break-out. Every night for a year they dug tunnels, and those who weren't digging forged passports, drew maps, faked weapons and tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes to wear once they had escaped. All of this was conducted under the very noses of their prison guards. When the right night came, the actual escape itself was timed to the split second - but of course, not everything went according to plan...

This is the true story of Adolphine, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who was twenty-two when she had to flee her home in the war-ravaged DRC in 1996. She walked thousands of kilometres across Southern Africa to be reunited with her husband Sepano in Cape Town after two years of a desperate search. Her incredible journey to escape the ruinous rule of Mobutu Sese Seko was filled with many moments of terror and despair, every country having its own share of xenophobia. She told the writer – the retired national tracing coordinator of the International Red Cross’s Restoring of Family Links programme in South Africa – “I felt as if the earth had teeth, I felt its bite when I was fleeing through Africa...”. Her story is a powerful intimate account of belonging and the anguish of displacement, of settling and being uprooted and how a deeply troubled household navigates this across time and space. Her story strongly highlights the vulnerability of women and children in times of war and unrest. Print editions not for sale in Sub Saharan Africa.

"Charming and whimsical, with sinister undertones." David Lowrie (The Hellscape Gamebook Series) "Immersive! The most like going for a real walk in the countryside we can do at the moment." James Spearing (My Gamebook Adventures) "An enchanting romp...reminds this reader of the classic gamebooks of the 80s." Adam C Mitchell (I, Virus) "The writing is good...I want to find out where the tiny shoes are!" Victoria Hancox (Nightshift, The Alchemist's Folly) A brave knight wakes up and is surprised to be in the middle of an enchanted forest, with no memories of the previous night and only a bunch of mysterious herbs as a clue to what the evening consisted of. That brave knight is you. Try to escape from the forest while piecing together what you did last night. On your journey you will encounter a raft of strange inhabitants, including dwarves, elves, goblins, pixies, the Green Man and, of course, the Black Knight, who's a real piece of work. Beautifully illustrated throughout, all you need is a quill and ink to get started.

The forces of natural selection have been a primary driver in the evolution of adaptive animal behaviours. On the one hand animals must evade predation in order to survive and pass on their genes; on other hand, and for the same underlying reasons, animals must also be capable of successfully capturing prey. This situation has led to an evolutionary arms race in which predator and prey are locked in the battle to survive. A common strategy in each situation is to enhance the speed of response, resulting in the evolution of neural, muscular and biomechanical designs that produce supremely fast and eye-catching behavioral responses. The aim of this book is to illuminate the design principles of escape and predatory behaviours using a series of case histories from different animal groups and to emphasize the convergent evolution of neural circuitry that optimizes the chances of survival. Using these case histories the authors describe sensory mechanisms that aid prey and predator detection, central neural circuit designs that increase speed of response and neuromuscular and biomechanical properties that aid the performance of escape and predatory movements.
