Auteure: Nora Roberts

Nombre de pages: 360

Quand la jeune sculptrice Ariel Byrd est retrouvée inerte dans son atelier de West Village à New York, tout semble indiquer un crime passionnel des plus classiques. Or, il ne faut pas longtemps à Eve Dallas et à sa coéquipière Peabody pour constater que Gwendolyn Huffman ment sur de nombreux détails. Cette femme aisée, qui réside dans l’Upper East Side, a signalé le crime. Mais pourquoi a-t-elle mis plus d’une heure à appeler les secours après avoir découvert le corps ? Cherchait-elle à dissimuler quelque chose ? À masquer la vérité ? Le crime s’annonce bien plus compliqué à élucider qu’il n’y paraissait... D’autant que l’Ordre Naturel, un groupe de fanatiques, semble intimement lié à cette affaire. Eve doit faire appel à tous ses alliés pour résoudre l’enquête...

Nombre de pages: 360

Eliza Lane et son époux, Brant Fitzhugh, forment un couple d’acteurs à la renommée éclatante. Une soirée organisée dans leur luxueux appartement de New York tourne au drame : après avoir porté un toast à sa femme, Brant s’effondre sur le sol, pris de convulsions. La police et Eve Dallas s’invitent à la fête. Pour Eve, l’odeur d’amande et les spasmes de la victime sont caractéristiques d’un empoisonnement au cyanure. Pourtant, tout le monde s’accorde à dire que Brant était un homme formidable qui n’avait aucun ennemi ; un discours qui n’est pas le même au sujet d’Eliza. Il n’est donc guère surprenant de découvrir que le champagne empoisonné était en réalité destiné à l’actrice...

Pourquoi passer à l’acte maintenant ? Pour trouver la réponse à cette question, Eve va devoir remonter la piste d’une affaire d’enfant trouvé et de femme disparue il y a plusieurs décennies de cela... sans se laisser submerger par son propre passé.

Quelqu’un s’est visiblement donné beaucoup de mal pour faire croire à ce scénario. Pourquoi ? La carrière de Greenleaf pourrait être la clé du mystère.

Smugglers, Bootleggers, and Scofflaws

Auteure: Ellen Nickenzie Lawson

Nombre de pages: 176

With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, "drying up" New York City promised to be the greatest triumph of the proponents of Prohibition. Instead, the city remained the nation's greatest liquor market. Smugglers, Bootleggers, and Scofflaws focuses on liquor smuggling to tell the story of Prohibition in New York City. Using previously unstudied Coast Guard records from 1920 to 1933 for New York City and environs, Ellen NicKenzie Lawson examines the development of Rum Row and smuggling via the coasts of Long Island, the Long Island Sound, the Jersey shore, and along the Hudson and East Rivers. Lawson demonstrates how smuggling syndicates on the Lower East Side, the West Side, and Little Italy contributed to the emergence of the Broadway Mob. She also explores New York City's scofflaw population—patrons of thirty thousand speakeasies and five hundred nightclubs—as well as how politicians Fiorello La Guardia, James "Jimmy" Walker, Nicholas Murray Butler, Pauline Morton Sabin, and Al Smith articulated their views on Prohibition to the nation. Lawson argues that in their assertion of the freedom to drink alcohol for enjoyment, New York's smugglers, bootleggers, and scofflaws...

Placekicking in the NFL

Auteure: Rick Gonsalves

Nombre de pages: 373

NFL placekicking has an extensive history, from the early days of the dropkick, to the placekick, to kicking barefoot, to soccer style kicking. Each season, approximately 30 percent of all games in pro football are won by field goals. Field goals and extra points account for 20 percent of the league’s yearly total points. This book discusses all aspects of NFL placekicking in historical perspective: the effectiveness of different kicking styles; the use of artificial turf and the development of domed stadiums as they relate to placekicking accuracy; individual kickers who helped to change the way a football is kicked; the mental aspects of the skill, so vital to a kicker’s success; the development of the square-toe kicking shoe used by straight-on kickers to make better contact with the ball; changes in goal posts and the shape of the ball; and the fine points of centering, blocking and holding for the kicker.

Memories and Images

Auteure: Donald S. Vogel

Nombre de pages: 338

Donald Vogel arrived in Dallas at the beginning of World War II after a sojourn at the Art Institute of Chicago. "The feeling of space, its clear clean atmosphere, the calm courtesy of the people and promises of growth all gave hope to a young, would-be painter. What I could not have anticipated was that there would be no gentle growth: it exploded in every direction and the money followed." Along with the wealth came East Coast art dealers who followed the oil field trails throughout Oklahoma and Texas. They brought dubious art and fake old masters, but the same growth that attracted disreputable dealers also made it possible for Vogel to be part of bringing fine works of art to Dallas, first at the Betty McLean Gallery and later at his own Valley House Gallery. In the words of Dechard Turner, "The Gallery opened the doors to the highest levels of sophistication in art. Not all entered, but the triumph of the Vogel story is that many did!" Already established as a painter, Vogel soon became the outlet in Dallas of art dealers in the United States and Europe. He has been an important part of the Dallas art scene for fifty-eight years. In addition to the United States, Donald...

Migrant Anxieties

Auteure: Aine O’healy

Nombre de pages: 270

During a period of heightened global concerns about the movement of immigrants and refugees across borders, Migrant Anxieties explores how filmmakers in Italy have probed the tensions accompanying the country's shift from an emigrant nation to a destination point for over five million immigrants over the course of three decades. Áine O'Healy traces a phenomenology of anxiety that is not only present at the sociopolitical level but also interwoven into the narrative strategies of over 30 films produced since 1990, throwing into sharp relief the interface between the local and the global in this transnational era. Starting with the representation of post-communist migrations to Italy from Eastern Europe and subsequent arrivals from Africa through the controversial frontier of Lampedusa, O'Healy explores topics as diverse as the configuration of migrant labor, affective surrogacy, Italian whiteness, and the legacy of Italy's colonial history. Showing how contemporary filmmaking practices in Italy are linked to changes in the broader media landscape, O'Healy analyzes the ways in which both Italian and migrant filmmakers are reimagining Italian society and remapping the nation's...

Judas Iscariot

Auteure: Richard Harvey

Nombre de pages: 359

The name Judas Iscariot usually provokes a negative response as the disciple who betrayed his Lord to death. It is difficult to think of another person, dead for so long, who is so closely associated with betrayal. In recent times, some commentators have urged a rethink on Judas, arguing that he has been unfairly treated. This book will show that the traditional picture of Judas as a traitor best fits the biblical evidence. It also establishes two other points. Firstly, although Judas was a human being, he had the literary features of an idol. Secondly, the earliest gospel, Mark, clearly establishes his guilt and Matthew and Luke show how uniquely guilty Judas was.
