What is time? The fifth-century philosopher St Augustine famously said that he knew what time is so long as no one asked him. Introducing Time dares go where Augustine would not. It traces the history of time from Augustine to Newton, Poincare, Einstein, & then back full circle to the idea that there is no time in quantum gravity. Is time a fourth dimension? Does the future exist? Is time travel possible? If so, does it threaten the work prospects of historians, as Stephen Hawking thinks? Why does time seem to pass in only one direction? Introducing Time presents these questions & others (many for the first time) in an easily accessible, lucid & engaging guide. ...

Wine is around 8, 000 years old but the wines that people buy & drink today are mostly quite new. Modern wine exists as the product of multiple revolutions
- scientific, industrial, social, even ideological. Though it has the same basic chemical substance as its ancient forebear, it is in every other respect very different. For many thousands of years, wine was a basic need. Contemporary wines taste unlike those from earlier eras & are valued in novel ways. Today it is a cultural choice & the reasons why millions of people choose it tells us as much about them as about the contents of the bottle or glass. In Inventing Wine, Paul Lukacs chronicles wine`s transformation from a source of sustenance to a consciously pursued pleasure, in the process offering a new way to view the present as well as the past.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is the great lost scientist: more things are named after him than anyone else. There are towns, rivers, mountain ranges, the ocean current that runs along the South American coast, there`s a penguin, a giant squid
- even the Mare Humboldtianum on the moon. His colourful adventures read like something out of a Boy`s Own story: Humboldt explored deep into the rainforest, climbed the world`s highest volcanoes & inspired princes & presidents, scientists & poets alike. Napoleon was jealous of him; Simon Bolivar`s revolution was fuelled by his ideas; Darwin set sail on the Beagle because of Humboldt; & Jules Verne`s Captain Nemo owned all his many books. He simply was, as one contemporary put it, `the greatest man since the Deluge`. Taking us on a fantastic voyage in his footsteps
- racing across anthrax-infected Russia or mapping tropical rivers alive with crocodiles
- Andrea Wulf shows why his life & ideas remain so important today. Humboldt predicted human-induced climate change as early as 1800, & The Invention of Nature traces his ideas as they go on to revolutionize & shape science, conservation, nature writing, politics, art & the theory of evolution. He wanted to know & understand everything & his way of thinking was so far ahead of his time that it`s only coming into its own now. Alexander von Humboldt really did invent the way we see nature.
