After a party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand clutching an incredibly rare ''double-eagle'' gold coin, Liam Campbell is led to the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerging from the face of a calving glacier.For some sixty years the glacier has held its secrets close: Who was on the ill-fated flight? What were they doing? 74-year-old Newenham matriarch Lydia Tompkins might have had the answers Campbell is looking for, but now she''s dead too, murdered in her own home.

Lov krabů patří k nejnebezpečnějším povoláním na Aljašce a Beringovo moře je ideální místo činu, ale bez mrtvol, motivu a důkazů má státní návladní svázané ruce.

Dlouholetý šéf rangerů Dan O’Brien má jednu vadu: dělá svou práci až příliš dobře. Teď ho však jeho urputná snaha chránit faunu a flóru v širokém okolí řeky Kanuyaq možná bude stát místo. Politici ruku v ruce s byznysmeny by totiž na území v jeho péči velice rádi začali těžit ropu. Za Dana vyrážejí do boje všichni místní z rezervace, kterým on ani životní prostředí Aljašky nejsou lhostejné – v čele se soukromou vyšetřovatelkou Kate Shugakovou. Jejich snahou však otřese brutální útok, který si vyžádá život jedné z dlouholetých členek komunity. Vražda vyvolá řadu otázek, které se sypou jedna za druhou jako sněhové vločky ze zimní oblohy, přičemž nejdůležitější z nich zní: Proč? Byla smrt Diny Willnerové skutečně jen šíleným činem psychicky zlomeného muže, nebo snad někomu tahle „ekoteroristka“, jak ji také označovali, stála v cestě za splněním vlastních plánů?

Iraqi Said Jensen, living in Norway, is forever haunted by the ghost of his father, killed by the Iraqi regime before he was born, and nightmarish visions. On being called to Baghdad where a mass grave, possibly holding his father’s remains, will be opened, he thinks about the peaceful cherry orchard his neighbour Jakob was laid to rest in.Through the story of Iraqi Said Jensen, who is granted asylum in Norway and builds his life there but is forever haunted by his father’s disappearance, Iraqi author Azher Jirjees’s debut novel captures brilliantly the way Iraqi life flips from reality to unreality and back as people have to find ways to live with the bloody horrors and deprivation that count as ‘normal life’, leading to countless people fleeing and countless others thrown into mass graves.

Reasoning is the critical thinking skill concerned with the production of arguments: making them coherent, consistent, and well-supported; and responding to opposing positions where necessary. The Better Angels of Our Nature offers a step-by-step class in precisely these skills. Author Steven Pinker''s central thesis is simple: mankind has become increasingly less violent over the centuries, and will continue to do so. Pinker is aware, though, that many people instinctively believe the opposite, and Better Angels is devoted to marshalling data to support and illustrate this central argument, as well as a series of secondary arguments about how and why humanity has become less violent. Pinker''s interpretative skills – understanding the meaning of the complex evidence from history – are also on display throughout, as he tackles the ambiguities of his data, the problems it presents, and the viable inferences one can draw from it.
