New York, 1911. Isaac Bell, detective di spicco dell’agenzia investigativa Van Dorn, è alle prese con un caso di ordinaria amministrazione. Anna Pape, una giovane donna che ambisce a diventare un’attrice di successo, è scappata di casa, forse proprio per inseguire il suo sogno. Bell non ci mette molto a trovarla, ma il caso si conclude tragicamente: la ragazza è morta. Assassinata in modo brutale. Per l’investigatore privato comincia un’indagine ben più complessa di quanto potesse sembrare, che cerca di far luce sul movente e sulla mente perversa che ha concepito questo atroce delitto. Ma l’omicida sembra non essersi fermato: Anna, infatti, non è l’unica vittima. Come lei, molte altre giovani donne vengono trucidate negli angoli bui di diverse città degli Stati Uniti, e un dettaglio inquietante le accomuna tutte. Isaac Bell potrebbe trovarsi sulle tracce di uno dei più grandi mostri del suo tempo. E farà tutto il possibile per fermarlo.

Two rival queens. History''s greatest playwright. And a deadly plot for the crown. London, 1600. With no legitimate heir to Queen Elizabeth''s throne, and no clear successor with her modern vision of a civilization that thrives in peace and diversity, England is in a supremely perilous moment. Elizabeth''s foes understand the power of a poet''s voice to shape popular opinion, and force esteemed playwright William Shakespeare to write a script detailing the history of Queen Elizabeth and the catholic Mary Queen of Scots that will tumble the nation into civil war. Faced with a terrible dilemma, Will must navigate a dangerous path through the corridors of the wealthy, the refuse-filled warrens of London and the byzantine world of Elizabethan politics as he tries to save both his family and his own legacy.

«Quando si parla di Cussler è la fantasia a comandare e lo scopo della fantasia è quello di emozionarci, stupirci.» la Repubblica - Luca d''Andrea Edna, profonda come l’oceano, o Nellie, che abbaglia come un caleidoscopio? Isaac Bell è concentrato su questa decisione quando la Commissione federale lo incarica di investigare sulla Standard Oil, la compagnia petrolifera fondata da John D. Rockefeller che sta fatturando incassi record, riuscendo a sbaragliare qualsiasi forma di concorrenza grazie a colpi di fortuna molto… sospetti. Il miglior detective dell’agenzia investigativa Van Dorn sa che qualcosa non torna, ma quando inizia a indagare il caso assume subito una svolta mortale. Qualcuno sta eliminando come mosche tutti gli avversari della Standard Oil, riuscendo a colpire anche il più prezioso dei testimoni di Bell, ucciso da un proiettile sparato con straordinaria precisione da una distanza impossibile. Il cecchino misterioso lascia una scia di morte ovunque passi – omicidi, sparatorie, avvelenamenti, curiosi incidenti e grandi esplosioni che coinvolgono le raffinerie indipendenti nelle regioni della «febbre del petrolio» –, una scia che attira Isaac Bell e la sua voglia di assicurarlo alla legge. In un inseguimento serratissimo tra Kansas e Texas, dall’enclave dei magnati di New York alla Russia dei giacimenti petroliferi di Baku, devastati dalla guerra nel Mar Caspio, Isaac Bell non molla il suo obiettivo. E, tornato in America, si prepara per lo scontro finale. Il più esplosivo di tutti.

The Forestry and Agriculture Sector Optimization Model with Greenhouse Gases (FASOMGHG) has historically relied on regional average costs of land conversion to simulate land use change across cropland, pasture, rangeland, and forestry. This assumption limits the accuracy of the land conversion estimates by not recognizing spatial heterogeneity in land quality and conversion costs. Using data from Nielsen et al. (2014), we obtained the afforestation cost per county, then estimated nonparametric regional marginal cost functions for land converting land to forestry. These afforestation costs were then incorporated into FASOMGHG. Three different assumptions for land moving into the forest sector were run; constant average conversion cost, static rising marginal costs and dynamic rising marginal cost, in order to assess the implications of alternative land conversion cost assumptions on key outcomes, such as projected forest area and cropland use, carbon sequestration, and forest product output.
