        Dick of Devonshire

        By Thomas Heywood

        by Kate Ellis

        Dick of Devonshire by Thomas Heywood dramatises England's disastrous 1625 Cadiz expedition through the story of a foot-soldier turned national hero. For the first time, The Revels Plays publishes a scholarly modern-spelling edition of this unduly overlooked play, together with an anthology of its source material. The play, written in 1626, exists in only one contemporary manuscript, now contained in MS Egerton 1994. There is no evidence that the work was printed or performed in its time, and until now, its authorship has remained uncertain. Ellis's critical introduction analyses new data that uncovers the play's authorship, playing company, and playhouse for the first time, as well as exploring the occasion of the play, its textual and theatrical histories, and its stagecraft. Commentary notes guiding the modern reader include explanatory glosses, literary references, and notes on historical context.

        How Animals Hammer, Drill and Strike

        Tool Use in the Animal Kingdom

        by Peter-René Becker

        From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.

These stories were created in cooperation with Antonov State Enterprise, which designed the Mriia and Ruslan aircrafts known all over the world."I have big plans for you," said the Engineer to the airplane, which was a little different from the others and a little worried about it. The story is about the incredible adventures of the AN-2 airplane, which, thanks to its special wing design, could take off and land even where there were no prepared airfields. To extinguish forest fires? Land on the water? Take photos and videos? What else did the restless Engineer come up with for the very brave airplane?For five years now, the Antei giant has been flying only in a dream. One day he woke up to the fact that mechanics were scurrying around him like restless ants and conducting an inspection. What does this mean? Is he going to return to the sky soon? The Chief Engineer has an important task for the experienced Antei - to transport an extremely important cargo to Africa.   From 3 to 6 years, 10 000 words Rightsholders: n.miroshnyk@vivat.factor.ua
