Arizona 1899. Mais qu'est-ce qui peut bien pousser maître Byron Peck, avocat crapuleux au barreau de Los Angeles, à quitter son biotope pour venir suffoquer dans le désert de l'Arizona ? Et qui est ce Knut Hoggaard, cet imposant Danois qui l'accompagne ne s'exprimant que par de vagues borborygmes caverneux ? Ces deux individus aux moeurs discutables n'ont pourtant pas l'air d'être là par hasard. Pas plus que Margot De Garine, jeune aristocrate franco-russe, qui voyage en solitaire et semble abonnée aux attaques de train... A bien y réfléchir, ça fait beaucoup de nouveaux arrivants pour une région dont la densité de population taquine habituellement le zéro ! Il ne serait pas étonnant que cette histoire finisse par sentir la poudre...

Even in the face of express constitutional restraints or legal controls, democracies have stumbled into, and conducted, wars using vast executive powers. By reference to the recent experiences of the UK, USA and Australia, the authors have traced the serious dangers of removing democratic checks on war making at the very time when they are needed most. In the new age of nuclear modernisation for first strike strategies this is a timely and worrying exploration of national war powers. If the courts and the people cannot exert effective restraints, how does one adapt ferocious modern weapons and the need for speedy action to preserving controls over unbridled power with catastrophic potential? This is the dilemma explored by this work: a question that we cannot afford to ignore.

"Dinosaur tracks preserved in sandstone, knobs of granite rising from the plains, and springs cascading down limestone cliffs are just a few of the fascinating geologic features discussed in Roadside Geology of Oklahoma, a guide to more than 35 roads that crisscross the Sooner State. Longtime Oklahoma Geological Survey geologist Neil Suneson tells you what to look for along the roads, points you in the direction of nearby parks with interesting rocks and crystals, and recounts historical gems about radium mineral baths, coal mines, fossil excavations, and the early days of petroleum extraction, not to mention the rush for nonexistent gold in the Wichita Mountains. And lest you think nothing has happened recently, geologically speaking, in this Great Plains state, you'll learn about a fault that broke the land surface a meer 1,250 years ago and is capable of generating a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Suneson also gets you up to speed on more modern considerations such as groundwater depletion, petroleum fracking, and strip mine reclamation. Take this book along for a ride as you roll across the red plains east to the Ozark Plateau, west to the Panhandle, or south to the Ouachita, Arbuckle, and Wichita Mountains"--

Une jeune couturière muette et introvertie est violée sauvagement à deux reprises dans les rues de New York. Ivre de rage et sa folie, elle déclenchera une rage sans limites.Derrière un thriller musclé et un horrible suspense se profile un film à thèse sur la légitime défense et le droit à la justice individuelle. Mais c'est essentiellement la violence, les traumatismes subis par la victime et le carnage qui en découle qui marquent le spectateur.
