release date: Jan 01, 2003

Hate Crimes

release date: Feb 08, 2001
Hate Crimes
Hate Crimes - violence aimed at individuals because they are members of a particular group - were once considered the rare illegal actions of a small but vocal assortment of extremists who thrived on hating minorities. No more. Hate crimes have been sweeping the nation-- and the world, occurring in even the most unlikely of places. Whereas college campuses at one time epitomized the lofty principles of tolerance, diversity, and idealism, they have now become the repositories of hatred and division. Hate is hip on campus, as evidenced not only by the popularity of racist and misogynistic music, but by the recent rash of attacks against blacks, women, Asians, Latinos, Jews, and gays. Levin and McDevitt, both leading experts on hate crimes, show how the campus of hate has become a microcosm for the world at large and document its trail of prejudice and bigotry in our society and throughout the world.

Anciens rivages
Tom Lasker, fermier du Dakota, découvre en creusant dans son champ un bateau flambant neuf. La chose est déjà surprenante à des milliers de kilomètres de l''océan ; mais en plus, quand il s''avère que ce bateau est fait d''un matériau inconnu, inusable, et qu''il est probablement enfoui là depuis plusieurs milliers d''années - depuis l''époque où s''étendait dans la région une mer intérieure -, cela devient tout bonnement incroyable. En suivant l''ancien rivage de cette mer, une équipe de chercheurs met au jour - en plein territoire indien - un curieux artefact, manifestement d''origine extraterrestre, et qui semble servir de plate-forme de départ pour d''autres planètes. Alors il suffit que les Indiens émettent le souhait de l''utiliser pour retrouver leur ancien mode de vie sur un autre monde, et que la panique gagne les milieux industriels et financiers - inquiets des bouleversements socio-économiques que ne manque pas d''apporter la découverte de nouvelles technologies et matériaux inusables -, pour que le gouvernement se demande s''il ne vaudrait pas mieux le détruire... Mais c''est compter sans les scientifiques qui, avec l''aide des Indiens, commencent à organiser la résistance !

The Engines Of God
The first Priscilla Hutchins novel from Jack McDevitt, hailed by Stephen King as “the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.” Humans call them the Monument-Makers. An unknown race, they left stunning alien statues on distant planets in the galaxy. Each relic is different. Each inscription defies translation. Yet all are heartbreakingly beautiful. And for planet Earth, on the brink of disaster, they may hold the only key to survival for the entire human race.
