'Abby stepped in the lift and the doors closed with a sound like a shovel smoothing gravel. She breathed in the smell of someone else's perfume, and lemon-scented cleaning fluid. The lift jerked upwards a few inches. And now, too late to change her mind and get out, with the metal walls pressing in around her, they lunged sharply downwards. Abby was about to realize she had just made the worst mistake of her life…'

La novela relata la relación de un escritor con su madre, mayor y enferma. Muy realista e impactante. Buena prosa. Además de profundizar en las relaciones paterno-filiales, el autor ofrece numerosos detalles costumbristas de la sociedad marroquí. Dentro de una obra tan cuidada, desentonan desagradablemente dos salidas de tono.
In a small New York town, a deranged young man holds over one hundred school children hostage. and he blames the school for what he's about to do.
After a tense, thirty-six-hour police standoff, the gymnasium suddenly explodes into flames. Fortunately, all the students have escaped. All, that is, save ten-year-old Noah Corbin. Noah's mother, Haley, is frantic. Was her boy killed in the explosion? Did he somehow wander away from the scene, hurt and confused?
Did someone take him?

But as Randall investigates, Haley is forced to admit a dark family secret.one that leads to a desolate area of the Rocky Mountains, where an entire county is owned by a cult that controls the leaders of the community: businessmen, government officials, even the police. Men who have grown rich and powerful in their secrecy. A secrecy they are sworn to protect. No matter what.
The author examines genetics, its benefits and its potential dangers.
Witty and erudite, but a little unfocused, this title is as much about anthropology and (pre) history as genetics. Jones has produced a thought-provoking and free-wheeling book for the nonspecialist that touches on the genetics of languages, the role of sexual reproduction in genetic mutations, the evolution of farming, and the relationship of surnames to gene pools in various populations. The wide variety of topics considered is refreshing, as is the worldwide focus, but readers looking for a quick overview of genetics should look elsewhere (e.g., Robert Pollack, Signs of Life: The Language of DNA, LJ 1/94). Periodically, the author interjects purely speculative comments, but in general the lessons and conclusions of this book are complex and suitably low-key, given the rapid pace of change in molecular biology today and the difficulty of foreseeing all the future implications of these changes. Not an absolutely essential purchase, but an interesting one.
Jones is sensitive to the social issues raised by genetics, yet his interest reaches beyond contemporary social issues to the human past, to what genetics can and cannot tell us about our evolution and patterns of social development. He interleaves a broad knowledge of biology with considerations of cultural, demographic and — as his title indicates — linguistic history. Jones's book is at once instructive and captivating.
Trenchant, witty and enlightening… Jones's literate and wide-ranging book is an essential sightseer's guide to our own genetic terrain.
This brilliant and witty book… is highly literate, and Jones goes a long way to bridging the deepening chasm between the two cultures. Not to know how genes affect us is to ignore a central factor in our lives.
Myšlenku o možnosti vzájemných kontaktů a o biologické podobnosti myslících bytostí ztvárnil v novele Cor Serpentis (Srdce hada), 1959; č. in: Povídky z vesmíru, 1961; s. jako Hadie srdce, in: Hadie srdce, 1961). Jefremov koncipoval novelu jako polemiku s tehdy módním pojetím kontaktu, který je naplněn nedůvěrou a nepřátelstvím lidí a mimozemšťanů.
SIN AND DANGER COLLIDE WHEN THE WORLD'S HOTTEST SECRET AGENTS COMPETE FOR THE PRIZE EVERYONE'S LUSTING AFTER…
No one's ever seen it. Everybody wants it. That's why the government has just unleashed its secret weapon. Drop-dead-gorgeous art dealer Suzi Toussi has been tapped for the toughest mission of her career: to locate the Memphis Sphinx, an ancient artifact rumored to possess otherworldly powers. Tracking it to Paraguay means going up against Dax Killian, the sexy special ops agent who's planning to snatch the coveted relic right out of her hot little hands. If he can find it first.
Dax first spotted her outside a seedy bar – in three-inch heels and a too-tight dress. He'd know those curves anywhere. But what was Suzi doing in a hellhole like Ciudad del Este? Dax knows the answer: the Sphinx. Suddenly the game is on – and only one of them will walk away with the prize. With the Sphinx surfacing and passion taking Suzi and Dax under, they're headed for a showdown that could reveal the secrets of the ages.or expose them to the hottest danger of all.
Chosen by fate to become the Dragon Reborn-savior and destroyer of his world-young Rand al’Thor attempts to outrun his destiny by joining in a mad search for the lost Horn of Valere. Continuing the story begun in The Eye of the World (LJ 2/15/90), Jordan creates a lush, sprawling tapestry of a novel in the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings.
