The Country of the Blind and other Selected Stories
Herbert George Wells was perhaps best known as the author of such classic works of science fiction as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. But it was in his short stories, written when he was a young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day.

But it was in his short stories, written when he was a young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day. He described his stories as 'a miscellany of inventions,' yet his enthusiasm for science was tempered by an awareness of its horrifying destructive powers and the threat it could pose to the human race. A consummate storyteller, he made fantastic creatures and machines entirely believable; and, by placing ordinary men and women in extraordinary situations, he explored, with humor, what it means to be alive in a century of rapid scientific progress.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780141937113,"category_id":1,"size":null,"min_price":12,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":10501678,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","slug":"the-country-of-the-blind-and-other-selected-stories","url":"\/produkt\/the-country-of-the-blind-and-other-selected-stories\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

It won't be the last time a middle finger is raised as ten voices speak loud and clear about the complex dance that is life in a small town. They resonate in a gritty and unflinching portrayal of a day like any other, with ordinary traumas, heartbreak, and revenge. But as on any given day, the line where presentation and perception meet is a tenuous one, hard to discern. Unless, of course, one looks a little closer-and reads between the lines.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780763691028,"category_id":1,"size":null,"min_price":22.949999999999999289457264239899814128875732421875,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":8318976,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"isbn-read-between-the-lines-book","url":"\/produkt\/isbn-read-between-the-lines-book\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Here he brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic episode: the revolutionary euphoria of Barcelona, the courage of ordinary Spanish men and women he fought alongside, the terror and confusion of the front, his near-fatal bullet wound and the vicious treachery of his supposed allies.

The study continues to inspire valuable research and analysis. The goal of this book is to present current work inspired by the obedience paradigm. This book demonstrates the vibrancy of the obedience paradigm by presenting some of its most important and stimulating contemporary uses and applications. Paralleling Milgram's own eclecticism in the content and style of his research and writing, the contributions comprise a potpourri of styles of research and presentation--ranging from personal narratives, through conceptual analyses, to randomized experiments.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781135683078,"category_id":1,"size":null,"min_price":52.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":10228678,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"Taylor & Francis Ltd.","slug":"obedience-to-authority","url":"\/produkt\/obedience-to-authority\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}
