Description:
From the bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time come eight mesmerising stories moving between Greek myth and the near future to explore how we treat animals - and each other
From the bestselling author of The Porpoise come eight mesmerising stories exploring what, ultimately, makes us human.
Mark Haddon weaves ancient fables into fresh and unexpected forms, and forges new legends to sit alongside them. The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love - and of the monstrosities of patriarchy. The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth. Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals.
From genetic engineering to the eternal complications of family, Haddon showcases masterfully how we are subject to the same elemental forces that obsessed the Greeks. Whether describing Laika the Soviet space dog on her fateful orbit, or St Anthony wrestling with loneliness in the desert, his astonishing powers of observation are at their height when illuminating the thin line between human and animal.

Really learn Figma!
Format: Paperback
I was transitioning from graphic design to UI/UX, and I needed something that would teach me Figma while helping me build a solid portfolio. This book did exactly that! The real-world projects and case studies were super helpful—I even used one of them as a portfolio piece during a job interview.
It’s not just about learning the tool; it’s about understanding how to design better user experiences. The productivity tips and shortcuts alone saved me so much time.

Really helpful learning guide

This book is well organized and written. I like structure and an overview before starting to learn. This books excels at both. And the free on lib companion is fantastic. You can read the words while listening to the pronunciation.
