When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface he is forced to confront a painful, hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the physical likeness of a long-dead lover. Others suffer from the same affliction and speculation rises among scientists that the Solaris ocean may be a massive brain that creates incarnate memories, but its purpose in doing so remains a mystery . . . Solaris raises a question that has been at the heart of human experience and literature for centuries: can we truly understand the universe around us without first understanding what lies within?

We are living in an age in which facts don't count, certainty no longer exists and complexity means we never quite know what just happened, let alone what will happen next. To better prepare ourselves for such a world, we need a brain workout that isn't so much about finding answers as getting our heads around questions. We need The Compleat Thunks Book : a collection of beguiling questions about everyday things that stop you in your tracks and help you start to look at the world in a whole new light. At times controversial and often provocative, Ian Gilbert's brainteasers are sure to stimulate philosophical enquiry and debate during the thinking, reasoning, logic or panic employed in arriving at (or deviating from) the answers and conversations that ensue. In other words, it's not about the answers at all and, as in life, there are none at the back of the book. Covering as wide a variation of topics as possible - from love and lies to parking a car and molesting robots - The Compleat Thunks Book will appeal to people of all ages, tastes and prejudices, and can be used to steer pub, dinner party or family discussions away from the same old topics. Some of these Thunks were previously published in The Book of Thunks , ISBN 978-184590092-2, The Little Book of Thunks , ISBN 978-184590062-5, and Independent Thinking , ISBN 978-178135055-3.

If there is one name that is synonymous with the "ultimate" photographic experience, it is Leica. Just as car aficionados might lust after a Rolls-Royce, so photographers covet the Leica marque: even those people who will never own or use one are aware of their reputation as one of the finest photographic tools in the world. By the far the most popular range in the Leica line-up is the company's iconic M-series, which has a history stretching back over six decades to the Leica M3 of 1954. Since then, the high-end 35mm M-series rangefinders have been joined by digital equivalents that share the same fundamental standards of superlative build quality and outstanding image quality, all of which have found themselves revered by both longstanding Leica users and those falling for the brand's allure for the first time. The latest model to join Leica's digital elite is the M10. While this is not Leica's first digital rangefinder camera-or indeed its first full-frame digital camera-it is the first of its type to combine the true aesthetics and ergonomics of a traditional analog Leica M model with a high-resolution digital sensor. More than any other digital M model, the M10 is designed to turn the head of even the most die-hard analog-M user, and encourage them to make the transition to digital photography. This superbly engineered camera is also certain to appeal to the many digital-M users looking to upgrade, as well as the rather more elite group of loyal fans who invest heavily in the Leica brand and Leica-branded products to ensure they always have "the best of the best." Like any high-end digital camera, you need to appreciate the M10's nuances to truly explore its capabilities. With The Leica M10 Expanded Guide, the intricacies of Leica's state-of-the-art camera are fully explored, giving the reader a clear insight into precisely what the camera is capable of. From setting up the camera, to delving into the deepest menu options, this book walks you step-by-step through all aspects of the M10. Regardless of whether you're a seasoned Leica shooter or an M-series newcomer, you are guaranteed to extract the best from the latest in the legendary range.
