W tym szybko zbliżającym się krajobrazie, cyborg-superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi ma za zadanie ścigać najsprytniejszych i najbardziej niebezpiecznych terrorystów oraz cyberprzestępców, w tym "hakerów duchów", którzy potrafią wykorzystywać interfejs człowiek-maszyna i przekształcać ludzi w marionetki do realizacji przestępczych celów. Kiedy Major Kusanagi podąża za śladem jednego z takich mistrzów hakerów, Marionetkarza, jej misja prowadzi ją do świata wykraczającego poza informacje i technologię, gdzie sama natura świadomości i ludzkiej duszy zostaje przewrócona do góry nogami. "Ghost in the Shell" to epicka dystopijna opowieść o polityce, technologii i metafizyce, uznawana na całym świecie za niezrównane wizjonerskie dzieło fikcji graficznej.
The World's Favorite Beverage from 7000 BC to Today's Craft Brewing Revolution
A New York Times Best Seller A full-color, lushly illustrated graphic novel that recounts the many-layered past and present of beer through dynamic pairings of pictures and meticulously researched insight into the history of the world's favorite brew. The History of Beer Comes to Life! We drink it. We love it. But how much do we really know about beer? Starting from around 7000 BC, beer has emerged as a major element driving humankind’s development, a role it has continued to play through today’s craft brewing explosion. With The Comic Book Story of Beer, the first-ever nonfiction graphic novel focused on this most favored beverage, you can follow along from the very beginning, as authors Jonathan Hennessey and Mike Smith team up with illustrator Aaron McConnell to present the key figures, events, and, yes, beers that shaped and frequently made history. No boring, old historical text here, McConnell’s versatile art style—moving from period-accurate renderings to cartoony diagrams to historical caricatures and back—finds an equal and effective partner in the pithy, informative text of Hennessey and Smith presented in captions and word balloons on each page. The end result is a filling mixture of words and pictures sure to please the beer aficionado and comics geek alike.
