Учебное пособие для изучения английского языка методом параллельных текстов. "Параллельные тексты" являются составной частью природосообразной модели обучения, разработанной психологом Алексеем Кушниром. Принципиальное отличие этой модели в том, что в её основе лежит не лингвистика, а закономерности психофизиологии - механизмы работы мозга, психики, личности. Человек осваивает что бы то ни было благодаря именно этим механизмам, а не сообразно предметной парадигме математики, географии или лингвистики. Именно поэтому переход на природосообразные алгоритмы обучения позволяет значительно увеличить эффективность учебного процесса. Пособие предназначено для использования в учебном процессе, а также для самообразования.

Wells Herbert George The Selected Works of H.G. Wells
H. G. Wells is often referred to as 'the father of science fiction' and this compendium of his stories contains two of his most well-known works in the genre, The Time Machine (1895) and The War of the Worlds (1897). In addition, the reader is treated to some stories of truly extraordinary dimensions: The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), The First Men in the Moon (1901) and The Food of the Gods and How it came to Earth (1904). But Wells's phenomenal imagination ranged far and wide and thus we have included here two works of comic social realism, Kipps (1905) and The History of Mr. Polly (1910), stories that resound with Edwardian dreams, frustrations and triumphs. Wells is such a brilliant storyteller that well over a century after their publication, all of these texts are as fresh and compelling to us today as they would have been when his initial readers first turned their pages, often in astonishment and frequently in amusement. This is certainly a collection of the very best of H.G. Wells and we encourage you to devour them, and above all to enjoy the mercurial talent of this most original and precocious writer.
