Описание: Veteran journalist Andrew Lawler delivers a fascinating and delightful globetrotting tour ("Wall Street Journal") with the animal that has been most crucial to the spread of civilization the chicken. In a masterful combination of historical sleuthing and journalistic adventure, veteran reporter Andrew Lawler opens a window on civilization, evolution, capitalism, and ethics ("New York") with a fascinating account of the most successful of all cross-species relationships the partnership between human and chicken. This splendid book full of obsessive travel and research in history ("Kirkus Reviews") explores how people through the ages embraced the chicken as a messenger of the gods, an all-purpose medicine, an emblem of resurrection, a powerful sex symbol, a gambling aid, a handy research tool, an inspiration for bravery, the epitome of evil, and, of course, the star of the world s most famous joke. Queen Victoria was obsessed with the chicken. Socrates s last words embraced it. Charles Darwin and Louis Pasteur used it for scientific breakthroughs. Religious leaders of all stripes have praised it. Now neuroscientists are uncovering signs of a deep intelligence that offers insights into human behavior. Trekking from the jungles of southeast Asia through the Middle East and beyond, Lawler discovers the secrets behind the fowl s transformation from a shy, wild bird into an animal of astonishing versatility, capable of serving our species changing needs more than the horse, cow, or dog. The natural history of the chicken, and its role in entertainment, food history, and food politics, as well as the debate raging over animal welfare, comes to light in this witty, conversational ("Booklist") volume."

Описание: As the Second World War loomed ever closer, the British Air Staff realised that they did not have a dedicated cannon fighter or night fighter. As the author reveals in this readable and authoritative book, the Bristol Aircraft Company soon set to work to produce what would become one of the leading RAF multi-role aircraft of the Second World War.The Beaufighter played a significant role in the Battle of Britain, painted black and swooping on its targets directed by its top secret on-board radar. The Beaufighter was soon being delivered not only to several RAF commands but also to the Commonwealth squadrons in the RAAF, RNZAF, RCAF and South African units. It was also delivered to four USAAF squadrons. The Beaufighter Mk.1F was developed for Fighter Command and the Beaufighter Mk.1C for Coastal Command. These were powered with Bristol Hercules engines. The Beaufighter Mk.II was a night-fighter version powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engines. Another production variant was the Beaufighter Mk.VI maritime strike aircraft, powered by the formidable Hercules VI and XVI engines and armed with either rockets or an 18-inch torpedo.In this absorbing book, aviation expert Andrew Bird not only explores the development and deployment of the Beaufighter worldwide, including Coastal Command, North Africa and the Middle East and the Dutch East Indies, but also includes first-hand accounts from combat veterans.
