Recherches Et Conclusions Nouvelles Sur Le Pretendu Role De Jacques Coeur (1900)

"Savianos Art zu schreiben grenzt an Paranoia, das weiß er selbst. Aber es hat Substanz. Seine größte Wucht entfaltet das Buch, wenn es Strukturen aufzeigt. Es gelingt am überzeugendsten in dem Kapitel über die ’Ndrangheta." Ursula Scheer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 11.03.14

"Ob Chef, der Fitnesstrainer, der Zahnarzt oder der Polizist an der Ecke, wir sind von Leuten umgeben, die das Zeug nehmen. Alle tun es. (...) Noch nie hat jemand die Entwicklungen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte zusammengetragen und daraus ein lesbares Buch gemacht. (...) Ein aufrüttelndes Buch." Maike Albath, Die Welt, 22.02.14

"Roberto Saviano deckt auf, wie Kokain die Wirtschaft aufputscht. Der Krieg gegen die Mafia ist nicht zu gewinnen, die einzige Lösung Legalisierung." Peter Praschl, Die Welt, 27.01.14

"Ein Meister der Reportage (…) Stück für Stück deckt Saviano auf, wieso die schmutzige Welt der Bosse und Dealer mit uns allen zu tun hat, mit jedem Bausparer und Kontoinhaber." Kirstin Hausen, Deutschlandfunk, Andruck, 17.02.14

"Immer wenn der Leser glaubt, nun sei ein Plateau der Drogenkriminalität erreicht, eröffnet der Autor weitere Kapitel. Eines führt nach Osteuropa nach dem Mauerfall, zur russischen Mafia, ein anderes zu Gangstern auf dem Balkan, in Spanien, in Israel." Michael Freund, Der Standard, 01.02.14

"Das großartige neue Buch des Journalisten Roberto Saviano ist ein erschreckender Report über Auswüchse und Folgen des internationalen Kokainhandels." Thomas Andre, Hamburger Abendblatt, 04.02.14

"Die Reportage liest sich als atemloser Bericht, der deutlich macht, wie komplex und innovativ Drogenkartelle heute die Weltwirtschaft beherrschen, oft in Verbindung mit zahlreichen anderen kriminellen Machenschaften wie Waffenhandel und Geldwäsche." Annerose Kirchner, Ostthüringer Zeitung, 08.02.14

"Das Bild, das sein Buch vom internationalen Kokainhandel zeigt, ist schwindelerregend (…). Liest man Savianos Buch, wird einem angst und bange angesichts eines weltumspannenden Wirtschafts- und Industrienetzes, das einen Großteil der Gewinne via Geldwäsche-Systeme in den legalen Wirtschaftszyklus einspeist." Julia Kospach und Jan Fischer, Format, 02.02.14

"Die Rechercheleistung Savianos ist angesichts seiner Lebenssituation umso bewundernswerter." Alexander Kluy, Buchjournal, eins/2014

"Roberto Saviano zeigt in ‚Zero Zero Zero‘ unsere Welt im Würgegriff der Kokain-Mafia." Ursula Scheer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 11.03.14

"Der italienische Publizist nimmt seine Leser mit auf eine halb literarische, halb journalistische Höllenfahrt auf den Spuren des weißen Stoffes." Ursula Scheer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 11.03.14

„Nach diesem Buch sieht man die Welt(-wirtschaft) mit anderen Augen.“ Berthold Merkle, Südwest Presse, 19.03.14

„'ZeroZeroZero' ist gerade keine sensationsheischende Berichterstattung, sondern eher ein verzweifelter Aufschrei.“ Maike Albath, Deutschlandradio Kultur, 29.05.14

A remarkable achievement, this investigation into Presidentialism - both as an actual figure and idea - is a more than timely reminder of the schisms that persist at the heart of American democracy. This is an important study of some of the fictions that American presidents have both engendered and capitalized on throughout history; in other words, a must read for serious students of American cultural history, literature, and politics.

Engaging China offers a nuanced understanding that there was no single framework, assumption, or motivation behind the increasing interdependence with China that developed after 1971. Moreover, the volume demonstrates that there was connectivity and thinking about relations well before 1971. It will be an essential text for students, a resource for policy makers, and a good read for the general public.

"In my teaching and advising, I am always asking students: &#39;How was attachment measured?&#39; Student responses indicate how little attention is given to attachment measurement, making this a timely and needed resource. I can see assigning this book in my doctoral seminar on attachment theory and research. The chapters are written by the leading figures in the field and provide essential information for new and more seasoned researchers, students, and clinicians. This invaluable contribution is a one-stop shop to compare and evaluate attachment measures across the lifespan."--Richard Lanthier, PhD, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, The George Washington University "Rich in history and theory, this is a compelling work for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the assessment, measurement, and definition of constructs critical to the attachment system. All in one place, readers can find thorough consideration of the best-validated, state-of-the-art methodologies used to assess attachment throughout the lifespan (including the neglected periods of middle childhood and adolescence). This important guide provides links to measurement manuals; offers insightful tips for observation, scoring, interpretation, and the training of coders and research assistants; and explains key constructs. This is an impressive reference for scholars and practitioners at any level interested in the developmental continuity and intergenerational transmission of attachment."--Jennifer C. Ablow, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon "As interest in the study of attachment beyond the early years of life has burgeoned, a number of new measures for assessing attachment have been developed. In this volume, renowned attachment researchers have organized an excellent array of contributors who have conducted careful work on validating these new measures. The editors have provided a valuable tool for developmentalists, graduate students, pediatricians, clinical psychologists, social workers, and psychiatric researchers. I look forward to using this book in my graduate classes in developmental science, clinical psychology, and developmental psychopathology."--Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota-

"[A] buoyant and uncomplicated tale of animal hijinks related in bouncy read-aloud rhymes."&mdash;The Wall Street Journal &#9733; "The plot is simple, allowing the rhyming wordplay and illustrations to be the true stars of the show, combining into a sublime reading experience. Young readers who enjoy noodlehead stories and playing with language will delight in the goofy rhymes and zany story. . . . Madcap humor at its finest."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review  "Simple sentences with predictable structures and plenty of rhyme will both support independent readers and make for comedic read-alouds. Fans of Jan Thomas&rsquo;s picture books and Mo Willems&rsquo;s Elephant and Piggie series will happily befriend this trio of whimsical creatures in their delightfully slapstick adventure." &mdash;The Horn Book "Gerstein's sweet-tempered, sunny view of life shines through this story of a group of creatures who promptly realize that what seems like a chaotic accident is actually the home they've been looking for."&mdash;Publishers Weekly  "this title combines rhyming text that encourages identification of words by young readers and invites 'all aboard!' for a thrill ride with a gleeful threesome." &mdash;School Library Journal&#160;"As&#160;Moose, Goose, and Mouse&#160;reaches its final destination, it carries the message that problems can be solved and that friendship--including Gerstein and Mack's--can lead somewhere beautiful. . . . a giddy runaway-train story powered by rhymes and daffiness."&mdash;Shelf Awareness

"One of the most important goals of the theoretical psychological enterprise is scrutinizing key concepts in psychology. Theoretical analyses are necessary to understand the historical embeddedness of concepts, their philosophical presuppositions, and, not to be forgotten, their currency in contemporary psychological research and practice. In Toward a Psychology of Persons a group of Western Canadian theoretical psychologists makes an important contribution to this kind of theoretical work by dissecting the concept of the person. I applaud the fact that they have put 'the person' on the psychological agenda....The volume has much to offer regarding the current status of depersonalization and the steps towards a proper psychology of persons. The editor has done a good job: most arguments are clearly exposed, and relations between the themes in different chapters are noted explicitly."&#8212;Theory & Psychology"Toward a Psychology of Persons is a bold endeavour to address a phenomenon that has been at the elusive centre of the discipline, and gives us a new language and broad schema with which to proceed."&#8212;Comptes rendus de lecture

"In this follow-up to No Kimchi for Me (2017), Kim utilizes her signature bold cartoon style, developing distinct characters with touches of humor. Backmatter includes explanations of taekwondo, symbols of Korean culture, and a glossary. A sweet tale of shared perseverance that bursts with color, culture, and energy."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; "Created with pencil, colored pencil, and pastel and assembled digitally, Kim&rsquo;s art features panels, thought bubbles, and a variety of expressive, energetic animals. Bits of Korean are spoken and written throughout, lending authenticity to this story, which will resonate with anyone who has faced down an obstacle." &mdash;Publishers Weekly &#160; "Incredibly pleasant, colorful illustrations pair with an always engaging subject and valuable lessons to make this a winner."&mdash;Booklist&#160;

It&rsquo;s mystery master Cara Black&rsquo;s first standalone novel, a spy story set during World War II in Occupied Paris. The premise is that an American female sharpshooter is parachuted into France to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Of course, she fails. Using wits alone, she must evade the Gestapo and make it back across the English Channel. Chances of success? Slim to none. Chances that you&rsquo;ll be able to put Black&rsquo;s thriller down once you&rsquo;ve picked it up? Also slim to none.&rdquo;&mdash;Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post &ldquo;Beyond Black&rsquo;s encyclopedic knowledge of Paris, her deft interweaving of WWII history and spycraft with a relatable female protagonist puts Three Hours in Paris on par with other top thrillers about botched missions followed by harrowing escapes&mdash;such masterworks as Frederick Forsyth&rsquo;s&#160;The Day of the Jackal, Jack Higgins&rsquo;&#160;The Eagle Has Landed&#160;and Tom Clancy&rsquo;s&#160;Patriot Games.&rdquo;&mdash;Paula Woods, The Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;Ms. Black (also the author of a long-running series of detective novels featuring Parisian investigator Aim&eacute;e Leduc) excels at setting vivid scenes, creating lively characters and maintaining pulse-elevating suspense.&#160;Three Hours in Paris, with its timetable structure and its hunt for a covert operative, recalls such comparable works as Frederick Forsyth&rsquo;s&#160;The Day of the Jackal&#160;and Ken Follett&rsquo;s&#160;Eye of the Needle.&rdquo;&mdash;Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal &ldquo;Heart-stopping.&rdquo;&mdash;Adam Woog, The Seattle Times&ldquo;As the author of 19 murder mysteries set in Paris, Black knows the city&rsquo;s hidden squares and winding alleys. The wartime city and its grim undercurrent of fear are evocatively portrayed . . . Three Hours in Paris&#160;is reminiscent of Alan Furst at his best.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times &ldquo;An evocative depiction of wartime Paris and a lead you can&rsquo;t help rooting for . . . If you&rsquo;re seeking old-fashioned escapism, this has it in spades.&rdquo;&mdash;The Times (UK)&#160; &ldquo;In&#160;Three Hours in Paris, Cara Black brings her masterful knowledge of the city and its people to the Second World War and an imagined failed attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler by a female American sniper that leaves her fate and that of the war effort very much hanging in the balance. The result is&#160;a taut, smart, heart-in-throat page-turner worthy of the most discerning reader of John le Carr&eacute;, Daniel Silva or Alan Furst&mdash;brava!&rdquo; &mdash;Pam Jenoff,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The Lost Girls of Paris &ldquo;Breathtaking! I found it hard to breathe from the first page. A worthy successor to The Day of the Jackal&#160;and&#160;Six Days of the Condor, but with the addition of a real and likable heroine. This thriller takes Cara Black to a whole new level.&rdquo; &mdash;Rhys Bowen,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The Tuscan Child, In Farleigh Field&#160;and the Royal Spyness series &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t stop reading Cara Black&rsquo;s newest! A young American markswoman named Kate Reese is sent to Paris to assassinate Hitler&mdash;what could possibly go wrong? Everything, as it turns out, prompting&#160;an intense cat-and-mouse chase through the blacked-out City of Light.&#160;Nothing is as it seems, certainly not for Kate, as she tries to escape and make it back to Britain with plans of the secret of the Nazi invasion.&#160;Black keeps you guessing&mdash;and biting your nails&mdash;up to the very last page.&rdquo; &mdash;Susan Elia MacNeal, author of the&#160;New York Times&ndash;bestselling Maggie Hope series&ldquo;An unbreakable American heroine pitted against a charismatic German detective: pure gold in a wartime thriller. This hair-raising cat-and-mouse race across Nazi-occupied Paris left me breathless.&rdquo;&mdash;Elizabeth Wein, award&ndash;winning author of Code Name Verity "[Three Hours in Paris]&#160;is both a stunning and brilliant work of imagination, and a tour de force of rigorous research . . . Fraught with tension and suspense." &mdash;Bonjour Paris &ldquo;A high-octane read that will thrill crime fans from start to finish.&rdquo;&mdash;My French Country Home Magazine&ldquo;This stand-alone, with its resourceful, all-American heroine and breathless pace, allows [Black] to flex a different muscle, aided by her deep knowledge of and affinity for all things French . . .&#160;A superior thriller with much to offer fans of World War II spy fiction drawn to intriguing what-if scenarios.&rdquo;&mdash;Air Mail &ldquo;Brilliantly building on the novel&rsquo;s premise, Black constructs a surprise-filled plot, fueled by breathless pacing, Alan Furst-like atmosphere, and a textured look at Resistance fighters in Paris . . . Black stretches her wings here, soaring to new heights.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, Starred Review &ldquo;Riveting . . . Fans of&#160;The Day of the Jackal&#160;won't want to miss this&#160;heart-stopping thriller.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Well-written . . . Fast . . . Books like this, fiction or not, are important.&rdquo;&mdash;Nerd Daily &ldquo;A riveting game of cat and mouse . . . From the map of Paris on the endpieces of the book to the very last page, I found myself rooting for Kate Rees.&rdquo;&mdash;Kittling Books &ldquo;There is a serious problem with Cara Black&rsquo;s new stand-alone novel&mdash;you won&rsquo;t be able to sleep once you start reading it! A beautifully written fast-paced thriller with a depth of knowledge about tough American mamas and WWII Paris. Stunning.&rdquo; &mdash;Liz Newstat, Chevalier&rsquo;s Books (Los Angeles, CA)&ldquo;Based on nothing more than the title,&#160;Three Hours in Paris&#160;was not the book I expected! In part, that's because this is a real departure for Cara Black. This is not Aim&eacute;e Leduc's France. The story is an exquisitely tense cat-and-mouse chase between and American operative and a Nazi officer in the dark days of WWII.&#160;Vive la difference!&#160;This one is a must-read!&rdquo;&mdash;Susan Tunis,&#160;Bookshop West Portal&#160;(San Francisco, CA)&ldquo;Few know the streets of Paris as well as Cara Black, and no one is as good at bringing a suspenseful thriller to life in the twists and turns of their back alleys and memorable sites. With smart complex characters, fascinating historical details, and a propulsive story that doesn&rsquo;t disappoint&#160;Three Hours in Paris&#160;is a literary thrill ride that shouldn&rsquo;t be missed.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Luisa Smith, Book Passage (Bay Area, CA)&ldquo;I just loved this. It ratchets up very quickly and never lets go&mdash;a high stakes cat and mouse tour through the heart of Paris that features constant danger around every turn for the protagonist, from several sources not the least of which is a sadistic Nazi officer. This is the very best kind of thriller whereby using one&rsquo;s wits is the only way forward. A big thumb&rsquo;s up!&rdquo;&mdash;Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfield&rsquo;s Books (Sebastopol, CA) &ldquo;A fresh take on the espionage novel genre. Kate is a dynamic and creative character. Her spontaneity, resourcefulness and creativity reminded me of so many smart women that I know. I enjoyed being in her head and watching her think!&rdquo;&mdash;Totsie McGonagle, Buttonwood Books (Cohasset, MA)&ldquo;WOW, what a page turner! Kate Rees, a sharpshooter raised on an Oregon ranch, accepts a top-secret mission to assassinate Hitler while the Fuhrer is in Paris. Kate accepts this life and death preposterous mission because it is an opportunity for her to avenge the deaths of her British husband and infant daughter. Dropped into the Nazi-occupied city, Kate follows specific instructions given to her by the director of a covert section of British intelligence. When the attempt fails, Kate realizes&mdash;too late&mdash;that the mission was extremely well planned, with one exception: there is no escape strategy for her. Trapped in Paris, she is pursued by Gunter Hoffman, the German police officer given 36 hours by the Fuhrer to find the sniper. Kate is forced to work independently, and must rely on her wits as a cat-and mouse hunt ensues. Who is to be trusted? Who could be a spy, ready to turn her over to the Nazis? Each chapter ends in a cliff-hanger, as the plot unfolds through the streets of Paris, told from three viewpoints: the Germans, the British, and Kate. I don&rsquo;t know when a book has so held me captive&mdash;I couldn&rsquo;t put it down until I reached the conclusion on the final page!&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Fran Buckley, Eight Cousins (Falmouth, MA)&ldquo;This is a second world war thriller with a Paris setting. The heroine is Kate Rees, an American markswoman working for British intelligence. She is dropped into France with a mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler. The mission takes many twists and turns, with Rees meeting and overcoming many challenges while working her way out of France after a failed assassination attempt. The book is well written and moves along at a brisk pace. The reader will find the many situations faced by Rees as believable. Cara Black has an obvious 'feel' for Paris, especially during the Nazi occupation. She also shows how capable a woman can be facing adverse circumstances.&rdquo;&mdash;John McGonagle, Buttonwood Books (Cohasset, MA) "Highly entertaining . . .&#160;Three Hours in Paris&#160;is an exciting page-turner that will be particularly enjoyable for readers who appreciate a heroine who defies all odds and expectations." &mdash;Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review Praise for Cara Black&ldquo;Transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French.&rdquo; &mdash;Alan Furst&ldquo;Wry, complex, sophisticated, intensely Parisian . . . One of the very best heroines in crime fiction today.&rdquo; &mdash;Lee Child &ldquo;So authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee.&rdquo; &mdash;Val McDermid &#160;&ldquo;The real joy of&#160;Murder on the Left Bank&#160;is in its familiar cast and its thoughtful, witty, occasionally melancholy evocation of Paris, the city where we keep so many of our most beautiful ideas about what life might mean.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;USA Today &ldquo;Marvelous . . .&#160;Murder on the Left Bank&#160;boasts all of Black&rsquo;s trademark charms, including deft plotting, sharp dialog and colorful sights and sounds.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune&#160; &#160;&ldquo;Leduc is a refreshing and entertaining guide to Parisian neighborhoods and cultures, especially those that well-established tourist routes typically pass by. Let&rsquo;s hope she never runs out of districts to scoot around in.&rdquo; &mdash;The Seattle Times &#160;&ldquo;[Black] draws the reader into the intricacies of Paris while driving the mystery forward to make it an ultimate page-turner.&rdquo; &mdash;The San Francisco Chronicle &#160; &ldquo;Black creates rich, plausible characters, giving them individuality and&#160;depth.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Gate
