Marshall's Law Ben Sanders APRIL 2016 Marshall's Law Ben Sanders Marshall Grade is back, still trying to escape the remnants of his old life. The gritty, explosive new novel from the bestselling author of American Blood is a white-knuckle ride that will have you ducking for cover! Description 'It's easy to see what the fuss is about. Sanders' prose is sharper than a switchblade...It's like Raymond Chandler, Lee Child and Elmore Leonard rolled into one.' Sydney Morning Herald Ex-undercover cop Marshall Grade is hiding out in New York City when he learns that federal agent Lucas Cohen has survived a kidnapping. Cohen was Marshall's ticket into witness protection, and his captors have a simple question: where's Marshall now? Marshall's undercover work gave him a long list of enemies, and the enemy in this case is a corrupt businessman named Dexter Vine. Vine's almost broke, in debt to people even worse than himself, and he wants to settle old scores while he has time. He's hired Ludo Coltrane - a nonchalant psychopath and part-time bar manager - to find Marshall at any cost. Ludo's no stranger to killing, but his associate, the cash-strapped ex-con Perry Rhodes, may prove more of a liability than an asset. The question is: what has Marshall done to make Dexter want him dead? And are the contacts from his old life - ex- colleague Lana, and the heroin dealer Henry Lee - prepared to help him, or will they just sell him out? About the Author Ben Sanders is the author of four previous novels: The Fallen (2010), By Any Means (2011), and Only The Dead (2013), all of which were New Zealand fiction bestsellers. Sanders' first three novels were written while he was studying at university; he graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Engineering, but now writes full-time. His first US-based novel, American Blood, was a bestseller in Australia and New Zealand. Ben lives in Auckland, New Zealand.

Description In February 1887, Caitriona Wallace and Emile Nouguier meet in a hot air balloon, floating high above Paris - a moment of pure possibility. But back on firm ground, their vastly different social strata become clear. Cait is a widow who because of her precarious financial situation is forced to chaperone two wealthy Scottish charges. Emile is expected to take on the bourgeois stability of his family's business and choose a suitable wife. As the Eiffel Tower rises, a marvel of steel and air and light, the subject of extreme controversy and a symbol of the future, Cait and Emile must decide what their love is worth. Seamlessly weaving historical detail and vivid invention, Beatrice Colin evokes the revolutionary time in which Cait and Emile live - one of corsets and secret trysts, duels and Bohemian independence, strict tradition and Impressionist experimentation. To Capture What We Cannot Keep, stylish, provocative, and shimmering, raises probing questions about a woman's place in that world, the overarching reach of class distinctions, and the sacrifices love requires of us all. About the Author Beatrice Colin is the author of four novels for adults. Selected by Richard and Judy for their TV book programme, she has been shortlisted for a British Book Award, a Saltire Award and a Scottish Arts Council Book of the Year Award. She also writes short stories, screen and radio plays and for children. Beatrice is a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Strathclyde University in Glasgow.

Description Forty-something mother of two Josephine Cortes is at a crossroads.

And just when things seem they can't get any more complicated, people start turning up dead in her neighborhood. As Josephine struggles to find her voice and her confidence amidst a messy web of relationships and a string of murders, she and those around her must learn to push on with determination, like headstrong little turtles learning to dance slowly in a world that's too violent and moving too fast.

Description 'A clear-eyed, warmly funny tale.' Kirkus Reviews This novel is the story of a lie. But it is also a story of laughter and tears, of life itself. When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Josephine Cortes is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two is forced to make ends meet on her meagre salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Josephine's charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all - a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a tres chic Paris address-but secretly she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. And then a dinner party changes the sisters' destinies. Iris is seated next to a famous book publisher to whom she spins a tale of the 12th century romance she's writing. When Iris charms him into offering her a lucrative deal for her book, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Josephine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iris's name. All is well - until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season. About the Author Katherine Pancol moved from Casablanca to France when she was five.

  • Der Heinz Oberhummer Award Für Wissenschaftskommunikation 2019 Geht an No Such Thing As a Fish
    PREIS FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSKOMMUNIKATION 2019 Der Heinz Oberhummer Award für Wissenschaftskommunikation 2019 geht an No Such Thing As A Fish © NSTAAF/QI Ltd. Der mit 20.000 Euro und einem Glas Alpakakot dotierte Heinz Oberhummer Award für Wissenskommunikation für „hervorragende Wissenschaftsvermittlung“ wird am Montag, den 25. November 2019 im Wiener Stadtsaal verliehen. Preisträger_innen 2019 sind James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski und Dan Schreiber, besser bekannt als No Such Thing As A Fish, einem der erfolgreichsten Podcasts weltweit. Seit 2014 versammeln sich die vier jede Woche in London vor den Mikrophonen, um jeweils vier Fakten der Woche in keiner bestimmten Reihenfolge zu beleuchten, und zwar in un- nachahmlicher Weise mit einer Mischung aus Wissensdurst, Komik, Lust an Wortspielen und aufklärerischem Furor. Kein Thema ist zu abwegig, keine Tatsache zu unglaublich, keine Entdeckung zu bizarr – der Bogen spannt sich von Geschlechtsmerkmalen des Oktopus bis zu Charles Darwins Fagott. Es wird erklärt was der zweite Weltkrieg und Karotten miteinander zu tun haben oder wie lange man ein Space Egg kochen muss. Und während man 40 Minuten gebannt zuhört, lacht und staunt, bemerkt man oft nicht, wieviel man dabei gelernt hat. Wissensvermittlung ganz wie es Heinz Oberhummer vorgeschwebt ist, als er 2006 die Science Busters mitbegründet hat. Kennengelernt haben sich The Fish als Elves bei der Recherchearbeit für das BBC 2 Panel-Show FlaggschiffQI (Quite Interesting). Jahrelang moderiert von Stephen Fry, aktuell von Sandi Toksvig. Ihre Aufgabe war „to make Stephen Fry look clever“, wie der britische Independent 2015 schrieb. Weil ihnen dabei aber immer zu viele Fakten, zuviel Kurioses und Wissenswertes übrigge- blieben ist, das nicht mehr Platz in der TV-Sendung fand, haben sie ihren Podcast als QI Spinoff aus der Taufe gehoben.

    RESPONSE THE DECLINE OF THE FISH/MAMMAL DISTINCTION? SAMUEL BESWICK† In response to Duncan Kennedy, The Stages of the Decline of the Public/Private Distinction, 130 U. PA. L. REV. 1349 (1982). The public/private distinction was “slain” in 1982.1 That year, at the Symposium of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Professor Duncan Kennedy set forth his six Stages of the Decline of the Public/Private Distinction, outlining the sequence by which liberal categorizations descend “from robust good health to utter decrepitude.”2 Professor Kennedy’s famed article concerned the history of legal thought over the course of the twentieth century. He described that history as one of “decline”—not just of the public/private distinction, but of numerous other distinctions said to “constitute the liberal way of thinking about the social world.”3 He pronounced on the lifecycle of these ideas and the way in which they—and the public/private distinction in particular—had become unjustifiable in legal thought. It was “[h]ard cases with large stakes” that were the first sign † Frank Knox Memorial Fellow, S.J.D. Candidate, Harvard Law School.
