Описание: A brand new adventure from the world of The 39 Clues

For 500 years, the Cahills have been the most powerful family in the world. For 500 years, they've protected the source of their power - the 39 Clues. And for 500 years, they've kept their secrets silent. Until now.

This extraordinary stand-alone novel cracks open the Cahill vault to tell the story of the most coveted piece of artwork in the world, a masterpiece that has been the target of seven separate theft attempts: Jan van Eyck's altarpiece at Ghent. OPERATION TRINITY chronicles the first Vesper attack on the altarpiece in the 1600s, then jumps to WWII and young Grace Cahill's desperate bid to save the masterwork from the Nazis. The final piece of the novel tells the story of Ian and Natalie Kabra's first solo operation and features an 11th hour appearance by Grace Cahill on her final mission.

History will never be the same.

Описание: An archive-based, in-depth analysis of the surreal nature and science movies of the pioneering French filmmaker Jean Painlev?Before Jacques-Yves Cousteau, there was Jean Painlev?, a pioneering French scientific and nature filmmaker with a Surrealist’s eye. Creator of more than two hundred films, his studies of strange animal worlds doubled as critical reimaginations of humanity. With an unerring eye for the uncanny and unexpected, Painlev? and his assistant Genevi?ve Hamon captured oneiric octopuses, metamorphic crustaceans, erotic seahorses, mythic vampire bats, and insatiable predatory insects. Zoological Surrealism draws from Painlev?’s early oeuvre to rethink the entangled histories of cinema, Surrealism, and scientific research in interwar France. Delving deeply into Painlev?’s archive, James Leo Cahill develops an account of “cinema’s Copernican vocation”-how it was used to forge new scientific discoveries while also displacing and critiquing anthropocentric viewpoints. From Painlev?’s engagements with Sergei Eisenstein, Georges Franju, and competing Surrealists to the historiographical dimensions of Jean Vigo’s concept of social cinema, Zoological Surrealism taps never-before-examined sources to offer a completely original perspective on a cutting-edge filmmaker. The first extensive English-language study of Painlev?’s early films and their contexts, it adds important new insight to our understanding of film while also contributing to contemporary investigations of the increasingly surreal landscapes of climate change and ecological emergency.

Описание: This book examines the significance of values in Supreme Court decision making. Drawing on theories and techniques from psychology, it focuses on the content analysis of judgments and uses a novel methodology to reveal the values that underpin decision making. The book centres on cases which divide judicial opinion: Dworkin’s hard cases 'in which the result is not clearly dictated by statute or precedent’. In hard cases, there is real uncertainty about the legal rules that should be applied, and factors beyond traditional legal sources may influence the decision-making process. It is in these uncertain cases – where legal developments can rest on a single judicial decision – that values are revealed in the judgments. The findings in this book have significant implications for developments in law, judicial decision making and the appointment of the judiciary.

Описание:

Running for her life, Rowan Wilder is forced to leave Whispering Mountains and all she holds close. She never dreamed it would be six years before she could return. Or that it would be this hard to reconnect with not only the people she loves, but herself. Being unable to control her inner coyote might cause problems between her and her mate, but Rowan has other things to worry about. Like the madman determined to eliminate them both.

Quinn MacClellan has waited a long time for his mate to return home -- the last thing he's going to do is let an old enemy come between them all over again. He'll do anything to keep her safe and by his side. Six years ago he couldn't protect her, but things have changed, and no one and nothing will separate them ever again.

Together they'll meet all challenges and build the future they both deserve.

Описание:

Gordie "Doc" Monroe has kept Steve McKenna at arm's length for years, except all her previous tactics aren't working any more. He calls to her inner coyote like no other, and even fearing what he makes her feel, she can't stay away. Except her burning need to be near him exposes her to the madman waging a war of terror against her pack.

Steve wants Doc in his bed more than he wants to breathe, but bruised and bloody isn't how he imagined it. With revenge riding his coyote and his bone-deep desire to make Doc his, Steve sets out to convince her she'll be safest by his side. When a second attack leaves Doc shaken, he's out of patience and with a little push, the passion between them explodes.

But with danger on her heels, Gordie is forced to make a critical decision that threatens to destroy all they've built.

Описание:

Animal urges are nothing new to Brogan Wilder. Being a coyote shifter, he's used to them. But nothing he's ever experienced comes close to the bone-deep hunger Elise Crawford makes him feel. Claiming a mate is supposed to be as simple as breathing except El's human. She doesn't even know his kind exists. Getting her to accept what he is and that they're meant to be together will take all Brogan has. He just has to keep her alive to do it.

Traveling half a world away to help her best friend prepare for her wedding should have been the perfect way to get over a recent betrayal, not plunge El into a new relationship. Only there's no way to deny her reaction to her friend's brother. Bombarded by emotions and sensations she's never dealt with, not to mention an alpha male determine he knows what's best for her, El struggles to ignore the man with the golden eyes and magic touch.

Accepting there's something different about Brogan -- something not quite human -- proves the least of their worries. El's drawn the attention of a pack member bent on destroying Brogan and everything he holds dear. But once they've found their bond, Brogan and El won't let any obstacle stand in their way.
