Dr Jacob Bronowksi's The Ascent of Man traces the development of human society through our understanding of science. First published in 1973 to accompany the groundbreaking BBC television series, it is considered one of the first works of 'popular science', illuminating the historical and social context of scientific development for a generation of readers. In his highly accessible style, Dr Bronowski discusses human invention from the flint tool to geometry, agriculture to genetics, and from alchemy to the theory of relativity, showing how they all are expressions of our ability to understand and control nature. In this new paperback edition, The Ascent of Man inspires, influences and informs as profoundly as ever.

This is a snapshot of my story and why I’m here today serving my veteran and first-responder community to the best of my ability with all the knowledge I’ve acquired over a fruitful yet painful career in the Canadian Infantry. I proudly served my country during the Afghan War on Operation Athena between November 2010 and July 2011. During that deployment, my back herniated, and my whole life changed. Why does this matter? It led me down a course of self-study and reflection, and I realized I had to figure out why I got injured in order to be able to fix myself. Helping to prevent injury or help rehab a fellow warrior is deeply important to me. This is why this book exists. In this book, I’ve compiled some of the best mobility exercises that I used to get myself out of my crippled state in my bed to being able to compete in the CrossFit Open, Spartan Races, and triathlons. I give full credit to the mobility god, Kelly Starrett of Mobility WOD and his incredible book, The Supple Leopard. If you find this book informative and helpful, then I highly recommend that you get a copy of his book because it’s a lifesaver.

The 10th anniversary edition, now with a new preface by the author "A wonderfully smart, lively, and culturally astute survey." - The New York Times Book Review "Grand entertainment...fascinating for anyone curious about the perplexing miracles of how great television comes to be." - The Wall Street Journal "I love this book...It's the kind of thing I wish I'd been able to read in film school, back before such books existed." - Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the landscape of television began an unprecedented transformation. While the networks continued to chase the lowest common denominator, a wave of new shows on cable channels dramatically stretched television’s narrative inventiveness, emotional resonance, and creative ambition. Combining deep reportage with critical analysis and historical context, Brett Martin recounts the rise and inner workings of this artistic watershed - a golden age of TV that continues to transform America's cultural landscape. Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players - including David Chase (The Sopranos), David Simon and Ed Burns (The Wire), David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood), Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) - and reveals how television became a truly significant and influential part of our culture.
