The planet Majesty is covered by a thick green growth, miles deep. Nobody knows what caused it or even what lies at the bottom of the growth. When Lysandra and her father (a coyote scientist) take on a mission to dive underneath the teeming bio-mass, no one knows what to expect. Even wild conjecture has not prepared them for the extreme strangeness that they will find around them. Bizarre, three-legged beings inhabit the bottom layer amongst the ruins of an ancient civilization, which may also hide the secret behind the current state of the planet. More importantly, they realize that the Hooded Seven plan to attack the human Confederacy. Can Lysandra and her father survive beneath the bio-mass long enough to understand Majesty, uncover the Hooded Seven''s secrets and save their own world?

Die beiden Ex-Cops Manny und Joel sollen Senator Andrew Marquette dabei helfen, seine Wahl zum Gouverneur zu gewinnen. Die Chancen stehen gut, Marquette kann sich auf eine breite Unterstützung aus allen politischen Lagern verlassen. Doch als einer seiner engsten Berater verschwindet, wendet sich das Blatt. Manny und Joel ermitteln auf eigene Faust und stoßen auf unerwartet heftige Widerstände. Steckt mehr hinter dem Verschwinden des Beraters als vermutet? Ihre Untersuchungen führen sie auf eine verstörende Reise durch die abgelegensten Regionen Minnesotas, die finstersten Nebenstraßen der Twin Cities und die Untiefen des Dark Web. Hier zahlen Menschen mit sehr viel Geld und sehr wenig Moral Unsummen dafür, um ihre abgründigsten Phantasien ausleben zu können. Werden Manny und Joel sich aus diesem dunklen Netz wieder befreien können - oder sind sie am Ende nur Teil eines perfiden Spiels?

Duluth, Minnesota, ist im Sommer ein Ferienparadies - doch im Winter einer der kältesten Orte der USA. Als der Cop Manny Jahnke zu einem Einsatz auf dem zugefrorenen Lake Superior gerufen wird, macht er eine ungewöhnliche Entdeckung: Die junge Frau, die sein Kollege gerade tot aus dem Wasser fischt, ist in Wirklichkeit ein Mann. Bevor Manny mehr erkennen kann, rutscht die Leiche wieder in den See und zieht seinen Partner mit sich in ihr eisiges Grab. Wie besessen macht Manny Jahnke sich daran, das Rätsel um die Frau im Eis zu lösen, aber seine Arbeit bleibt nicht unbemerkt. Und ein paar sehr mächtige Leute haben offensichtlich etwas dagegen, dass er in ihren Angelegenheiten herumschnüffelt. Doch Manny lässt sich davon nicht abhalten. Und eines ist sicher: Wenn er diesen Fall überlebt, wird er nie wieder derselbe Mann sein wie zuvor.

The voyage of Jason and the Argonauts and their hunt for the Golden Fleece is one of the most enduringly popular of all of the Ancient Greek heroic myths. Accepting the quest in order to regain his kingdom, Jason assembled a crew of legendary heroes, including Hercules, Orpheus, Atalanta, and the twins Castor and Polydeuces. With this band of warriors and demi-gods, Jason set sail in the Argo on a journey across the known world. During their quest, the Argonauts faced numerous challenges including the Harpies, the Clashing Rocks, the Sirens, Talos, the bronze giant, the sleepless dragon that guarded the fleece, and, of course, the fickle will of the gods of Olympus. Filled with magic, monsters, sword fights, and sacrifice, this ancient adventure story is given new life by Neil Smith who also examines its historical context, its classical sources and its enduring legacy.

Every once in a while nature gives us insight into the human condition by providing us with a unique case whose special properties illuminate the species as a whole. Christopher is such an example. Despite disabilities which mean that everyday tasks are burdensome chores, Christopher is a linguistic wonder who can read, write, speak, understand and translate more than twenty languages. On some tests he shows a severely low IQ, hinting at ineducability, yet his English language ability indicates an IQ in excess of 120 (a level more than sufficient to enter university). Christopher is a savant, someone with an island of startling talent in a sea of inability. This book documents his learning of British Sign Language, casting light on the modularity of cognition, the modality neutrality of the language faculty, the structure of memory, the grammar of signed language and the nature of the human mind.

He dispatches his best friend, "Wild Bill" Bear, and three of his best Texas Rangers, to investigate.

Un escenario singular de la transformación del espacio público que se está produciendo en las ciudades occidentales ha sido Barcelona, cuya política urbanística de los años ochenta, orientada hacia el espacio público, culminó en las transformaciones propiciadas por los Juegos Olímpicos en 1992 y dio lugar a la expresión de «modelo Barcelona». Desde entonces, sin embargo, Barcelona se ha ido enfrentando a importantes cambios en los valores políticos que han dado lugar al nuevo espacio metropolitano.

Noir. Bien frappé. Une vision toute particulière de la justice et de la morale a valu à Billy Lafitte d''être viré de la police du Mississippi. Il végète aujourd''hui comme shérif adjoint dans les plaines sibériennes du Minnesota, avec l''alcool et les filles du coin pour lui tenir compagnie, les laboratoires clandestins de meth pour occuper ses journées. Si Billy franchit toutes les lignes, on peut néanmoins lui reconnaître une chose : il a un grand coeur. Ainsi, lorsqu''une amie lui demande de tirer d''affaire son fiancé, impliqué dans une sale affaire de drogue, c''est bien volontiers qu''il accepte. Quelques jours plus tard, Billy est arrêté par le FBI, enfermé dans une cellule au milieu de nulle part, et sommé de s''expliquer sur tous ces cadavres qui se sont soudain accumulés autour de lui.
