Tiempo de secretos

Autor: Deanna Raybourn

Número de Páginas: 383

"Que los malvados se avergüencen y que guarden silencio en su tumba". Aquellas siniestras palabras sacadas de un libro de salmos fueron la última amenaza que sir Edward Grey recibió de su asesino. Antes de poder enseñárselas a Nicholas Brisbane, el investigador privado que había contratado para protegerse, sir Edward cayó muerto en su casa de Londres, en presencia de su esposa, Julia, y de varios invitados. Aunque ella estaba convencida de que su marido había muerto a consecuencia de una larga enfermedad, no dudó en pedir ayuda al enigmático Brisbane cuando descubrió el papel en el que figuraban aquellas palabras. Intentando llevar ante la justicia al asesino de Edward, Julia comenzó a seguir unas pistas que revelaron una verdad aún más terrible... Unas pistas que la acercaban a un criminal que esperaba su llegada con impaciencia. " (...) Os vais a encontrar con una mezcla de la elegancia y el brillo de Jane Austen y la oscuridad húmeda del Londres de Sherlock Holmes. Una mezcla que a priori podría resultar extraña pero que en manos de Deanna Raybourn resulta deliciosa" Autoras en la sombra

The Christian Monitors

Autor: Brent Sirota

Número de Páginas: 481

div This original and persuasive book examines the moral and religious revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a burgeoning civil society in Britain. After outlining the Church of England's key role in the increase of voluntary, charitable, and religious societies, Brent Sirota examines how these groups drove the modernization of Britain through such activities as settling immigrants throughout the empire, founding charity schools, distributing devotional literature, and evangelizing and educating merchants, seamen, and slaves throughout the British empire—all leading to what has been termed the “age of benevolence.”/DIV

Beatles de A à Z

Autor: Daniel Ichbiah

Número de Páginas: 362

Dictionnaire Beatles. De 'Abbey Road' à 'Yesterday', l'histoire des chansons, des albums, des grands événements de la vie du groupe. Par leurs propos, par leurs extravagances musicales, ces quatre garçons bravent les codes en vigueur. Les Beatles se font l'écho de la contre-culture de leur temps mais ils en restituent le message par le biais de mélodies imparables, d'instantanés de jouissance. Un mot d'ordre est dans l'air : liberté ! Ils le transposent dans leurs chansons en s'autorisant toutes les expériences. A day in the life s'apparente à un mini-film traversé de scènes disparates, Yellow submarine est mis en valeur par de savants bruitages, Hey Jude se prolonge sur 7 minutes de pure extase... Les hits se succèdent, sans laisser l'ombre d'un répit aux fans. Ticket to ride, Help, Yesterday, Day Tripper, We can work it out, Michelle s'enchaînent sur une durée de neuf mois ! Comme terrassé, le public accroche à l'immense flot d'esthétique déversé sur les ondes. La musique des Beatles ne leur appartient plus. Elle est entrée dans l'Eternité.

Concord-Farragut

Autor: Doris Woods Owens , Kate Clabough

Número de Páginas: 132

In 1787, before Concord or Farragut existed, the area was known as Campbell's Station. The settlement grew rapidly, and by 1840, it was a thriving, self-sufficient community with many businesses. In the mid-1850s, the town of Concord was established two miles south of Campbell's Station along the newly installed railroad lines, drawing many businesses from Campbell's Station. Concord prospered, but Campbell's Station remained peaceful farmland. In 1902, Farragut High School was built in Campbell's Station. The school and the post office were the glue that held the west Knox County communities together. By 1944, nearly one-third of Concord was displaced by the impoundment of Fort Loudoun Lake. Soon Campbell's Station's sprawling farms became subdivisions, and Concord's businesses, churches, and even the post office were forced to relocate to Campbell's Station, leaving Concord a sleepy village. In 1980, a large area around the school but excluding Concord was incorporated as the town of Farragut.

Using the framework of Edward Said’s Orientalism, this work examines how Western rock and pop artists—particularly during the age of album rock from the 1970s through the 1990s—perpetuated long-held stereotypes of Japan in their direct encounters with the country and in songs and music videos with Japanese content.

Suffrage Reconstructed

Autor: Laura E. Free

Número de Páginas: 246

The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified on July 9, 1868, identified all legitimate voters as "male." In so doing, it added gender-specific language to the U.S. Constitution for the first time. Suffrage Reconstructed considers how and why the amendment's authors made this decision. Vividly detailing congressional floor bickering and activist campaigning, Laura E. Free takes readers into the pre- and postwar fights over precisely who should have the right to vote. Free demonstrates that all men, black and white, were the ultimate victors of these fights, as gender became the single most important marker of voting rights during Reconstruction. Free argues that the Fourteenth Amendment's language was shaped by three key groups: African American activists who used ideas about manhood to claim black men's right to the ballot, postwar congressmen who sought to justify enfranchising southern black men, and women's rights advocates who began to petition Congress for the ballot for the first time as the Amendment was being drafted. To prevent women's inadvertent enfranchisement, and to incorporate formerly disfranchised black men into the voting polity, the Fourteenth Amendment's congressional...

Principles of Abstract Interpretation

Autor: Patrick Cousot

Número de Páginas: 833

Introduction to abstract interpretation, with examples of applications to the semantics, specification, verification, and static analysis of computer programs. Formal methods are mathematically rigorous techniques for the specification, development, manipulation, and verification of safe, robust, and secure software and hardware systems. Abstract interpretation is a unifying theory of formal methods that proposes a general methodology for proving the correctness of computing systems, based on their semantics. The concepts of abstract interpretation underlie such software tools as compilers, type systems, and security protocol analyzers. This book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of abstract interpretation, offering examples of applications to semantics, specification, verification, and static analysis of programming languages with emphasis on calculational design. The book covers all necessary computer science and mathematical concepts--including most of the logic, order, linear, fixpoint, and discrete mathematics frequently used in computer science--in separate chapters before they are used in the text. Each chapter offers exercises and selected solutions....

21-Hit Wonder

Autor: Sam Hollander

Número de Páginas: 321

Rising up the charts seemed, at many points in Sam Hollander’s career, highly unlikely. This is his story of failing his way to the top. As one of the most renowned, multi-platinum songwriters and producers in the game, Sam Hollander has written and produced for the likes of Panic! At The Disco, One Direction, Katy Perry, Ringo Starr, Def Leppard, Carole King, Weezer, blink-182, Jewel, Train, Fitz and the Tantrums, Billy Idol, Tom Morello, and many others. But before he was stacking Billboard hits, Hollander was piling up calamitous flops, false starts, and feeling like the world was moving on and up without him while he spun in place. Today he wears that decade of misses like a badge of honor. In 21-Hit Wonder, he’s collected anecdotes from his wild music industry rollercoaster ride to help aspiring songwriters and other creatives learn about survival, endurance, scheming, hustle, and the importance of laughing even on the worst days of the journey. Music lovers spanning generations and genres will find stories about many of their heroes and industry icons. 21-Hit Wonder is one part chronicle of a songwriter’s storied career and another part love letter to anyone who has...
