Animal Languages
'A rich compendium of incidents, anecdotes and studies illustrating the linguistic abilities of animals . . . a rewarding book' Sunday Times
Dolphins and parrots call each other by their names. Fork tailed drongos mimic the calls of other animals to scare them away and then steal their dinner. In the songs of many species of birds, and in skin patterns of squid, we find grammatical structures . . .
If you are lucky, you might meet an animal that wants to talk to you. If you are even luckier, you might meet an animal that takes the time and effort to get to know you. Such relationships can teach us not only about the animal in question, but also about language and about ourselves.
From how prairie dogs describe intruders in detail -- including their size, shape, speed and the colour of their hair and T-shirts -- to how bats like to gossip, to the impressive greeting rituals of monogamous seabirds, Animal Languages is a fascinating and philosophical exploration of the ways animals communicate with each other, and with us.
Researchers are discovering that animals have rich and complex languages with grammatical and structural rules that allow them to strategise, share advice, give warnings, show love and gossip amongst themselves. Animal Languages will reveal this surprising hidden social life and show you how to talk with the animals.

Zrcadlová četba - Animal farm A2-B1 (Farma zvířat)
All animals are equal – but some are more equal than others. “It is the history of a revolution that went wrong.” This renowned fable is a timeless satire of idealism and corrupting in?uence of power. After its publication in August 1945 it has strengthened Orwell’s position among the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Všechna zvířata jsou si rovna – ale některá jsou si rovnější něž jiná. „Je to příběh o revoluci, která se nepodařila.“ George Orwell Tato proslulá bajka je nadčasovou satirou idealismu a úplatného vlivu moci. Po svém vydání v srpnu 1945 upevnila Orwellovo postavení mezi nejvýznamnějšími autory dvacátého století.

Lacná kniha The Animal Kingdom (-25%)
The animal world is immensely diverse, and our understanding of it has been greatly enhanced by analysis of DNA and the study of evolution and development ('evo-devo'). In this Very Short Introduction Peter Holland presents a modern tour of the animal kingdom. Beginning with the definition of animals (not obvious in biological terms), he takes the reader through the high-level groupings of animals (phyla) and new views on their evolutionary relationships based on molecular data, together with an overview of the biology of each group of animals. The phylogenetic view is central to zoology today and the volume will be of great value to all students of the life sciences, as well as providing a concise summary for the interested general reader.

Farma zvířat - Animal Farm
Bilingvní, anglicko-české vydání světoznámého románu, který proslul jasnozřivou alegorií principů bolševické revoluce. Pozoruhodná bajka začíná vzpourou zvířat, která vyženou majitele farmy a začnou si vládnout sama. Zprvu ušlechtilé, idealistické myšlenky o rovnosti, svobodě a blahobytu záhy berou za své a jejich místo postupně zaujme propaganda, nesvoboda a totalitní diktatura. Farmu zvířat Orwell dopsal v roce 1944!
Lacná kniha Deloger l´Animal (-90%)
Je la regardais s’effondrer dans son fauteuil. Elle avait l’il vague, fixé sur l’écran de télé. Elle n’arrivait pas s’intéresser ces menus appareils électroménagers que l’on tentait de la convaincre d’acquérir au prix de sacrifices (serrons-nous la ceinture), et au prix d’abandons (oublions nos âmes que nous voulions élevées). Je suis sre qu’elle ne faisait qu’épier son propre reflet dans l’écran, stupéfaite de son immobilité, agitant par moments les doigts de sa main droite pour vérifier qu’elle pouvait encore bouger. Elle restait l, les chevilles croisées sur le coussin – celui avec une multitude de miroirs cousus ramené par Monsieur Loyal, souvenir d’aéroport plié en douze dans sa valise roulettes, efforts suants et jurants pour le rendre microscopique, pour ramener sa femme un cadeau, une attention, un presque rien, un “j’ai pensé toi le dernier jour avant de poster les cartes”.
