Toimetaja Susan Ryeland on lahkunud Kreeka saarelt ja oma kreeklasest elukaaslasest Andreasest, et Inglismaal taas uut elu alustada. Vabakutselisena töötab ta noore autori Eliot Crace'i käsikirja "Pündi viimane juhtum" kallal, millest peaks saama Alan Conway populaarse romaanisarja jätk. Üllatusena saab ta teada, et Eliot on legendaarse lastekirjaniku Miriam Crace'i pojapoeg. Kirjanik suri juba viisteist aastat tagasi ning Eliot väidab, et tegu oli mõrvaga - tema vanaema mürgitati.Kui Susan hakkab käsikirja lugema, tunneb ta kõhedust. Romaani tegevus leiab aset Lõuna-Prantsusmaal ja selle keskmes on Margaret Chalfonti surm. Naine oli niikuinii suremas, ent keegi otsustas ta mürgitada. Miks ometi? Mida kaugemale Susan jõuab, seda selgemaks saab, et loo juured võivad ulatuda reaalsusse.Ja siis ajalugu kordub: noore kirjaniku käitumine muutub üha ettearvamatumaks, siis jääb ta ootamatult auto alla, saab surma - ja peamine kahtlusalune on Susan ise.Kolm salapärast surma. Lugematud motiivid ja kahtlusalused. Ja kui Susan ei lahenda "Pündi viimase juhtumi" mõistatust, võib temast saada järgmine ohver.

On Retirement

On Retirement

Daniel Horowitz

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
sidottu
How longer lives, greater prosperity, and policy shifts are reshaping aging and retirement Once considered a period of frailty and physical decline, aging and retirement has transformed into a chapter of continued vitality and growth for many Americans. Indeed, medical advancements and government policies opened opportunities for people to live longer and healthier lives, leading to the rise of public discussions over aging and retirement. On Retirement offers a multi-faceted exploration of how and why retirement, aging, and longevity have emerged as prominent issues in the United States. Written from the perspective of a retired historian, the book assesses the factors that have shaped popular discussions about retirement and aging, from dramatic increases in life expectancy to shifting government policies. The book explores movies, print and new media, senior housing, how-to books, aging organizations, to examine how writers and entrepreneurs have seen and promoted long lives. While popular advice books and media often enforce self-governance narratives to achieve a "successful" retirement, Daniel Horowitz examines how this success is often only accessible through expensive and time-consuming avenues. Moreover, he assesses the socioeconomic and existential challenges most Americans encounter as they age, shaping the choices available to them post-retirement. Ultimately, the volume assesses that while popular "self-help" perspectives on longevity are shaped by an obsessive interest in doing so successfully, they have failed to account for how dramatic inequalities shape American experiences with retirement. Providing an expansive look into the history of retirement and the profound issues and fears of seniors surrounding finance, health, and longevity, On Retirement examines the changing demographics that have allowed people to live longer and healthier lives and offers a critical assessment of self-governance perspectives within popular retirement advice.

* AVAILABLE ONLY WHILE STOCKS LAST – THE SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION: features a gold foiled design underneath the dust jacket and is exclusive to the first print run in the UK only * From the global bestselling author of Moonflower Murders and Close to Death comes an unputdownable new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series. ‘Easily the greatest of our crime writers’ Sunday Times 'Nobody does this crime fiction better than Anthony Horowitz’ Crime Time FM 'Anthony Horowitz is a national treasure' Ragnar Jónasson --------- The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is being made into a major feature film. The actors have been cast, the script written, and filming has already started in Hastings. But when Hawthorne and Anthony visit the set, they find a far from happy family. The director’s pretentious, the screenwriter’s an eco-warrior, the two stars hate each other, and the producer has run out of money. And things are about to get much, much worse. In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed – which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder. Because the killer may not have got the right man. Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target? A Deadly Episode is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far.

Behemoth

Behemoth

Irving Horowitz

Transaction Publishers
1999
sidottu
The title, Behemoth, derives from the Hebrew word Behemah-a beast, an enormous creature, monstrously huge and vast. It is an apt description of the State on the eve of the twenty-first century. Loved by few, vilified by many from all perspectives, it nonetheless continues to grow; by turns rivaling and co-opting that more pleasant-sounding word: Society. Political sociology aims to define and understand the interrelationship between these two huge terms: State and Society. Continuing in a path begun by Horowitz in the 1950s in The Idea of War and Peace in Contemporary Social and Philosophical Thought, expanded upon in the 1970s with Foundations of Political Sociology, this summing up in the late 1990s is an effort to extract and evolve the canon of political sociology. Starting with Montesquieu, Horowitz proceeds through the European experience of Rousseau, Tocqueville, Hegel, Marx, Durkheim, Sorel, and Weber. He then takes the field on its tangled migration to America with the Frankfurt School in exile, followed by searching chapters on Schumpeter, Mills, Arendt, and Huntington, among others. The result is a stunning revaluation of the intellectual sources of the present day divisions between statists and socialists, welfarists and individualists, advocates of dictatorship and of democracy, mandated rules and voluntary association, hard realists and soft utopians, a world without states and a world with a single state. Horowitz does not offer the usual evolutionary notion of doctrines, but a canon embedded in and embattled with the societies they aim to serve or overthrow in the present as in the past. The result is a major recasting of the theory and practice of social science and normative frameworks. The final chapter offers Horowitz's own prognosis of what we can expect in the recasting of the Welfare State to include the Welfare Society, and its growing nemesis the global economy which threatens to engulf State and Society alike in a return to civilizational concerns. This is an essential text for policy-makers and social scientists interested in macroscopic changes in the political order.

Mortality and Faith

Mortality and Faith

David Horowitz

Regnery Publishing Inc
2019
sidottu
Mortality and Faith is the second half of an autobiography of David Horowitz whose first installment, Radical Son, was published more than twenty years ago. It completes the account of his life from where the first book left off to his seventy-eighth year. In contrast to Radical Son whose focus was his political odyssey, Mortality and Faith was conceived as a meditation on age, and on our common progress towards an end which is both final and opaque. These primal facts affect all we see and do, and force us to answer the questions as to why we are here and where we are going with conjectures that can only be taken on faith. Consequently, an equally important theme of this work is its exploration of the beliefs we embrace to answer these questions, and how the answers impact our lives.

Today's culture urgently seeks the unifying overstory of what pioneering paranormalist Charles Fort called "damned facts" that violate common observation. From objects traveling backwards in time and thoughts reshaping our bodies to quantum data plucked from other dimensions and telescopic evidence that our galaxy sits in a black hole, science affirms that warranted belief increases effect. Not psychologically but actually. Humanity's universal and warranted belief in extra-physicality or interdimensionality is bursting to awareness today. This is attributable not only to advances in recording technology--as seen in Mitch's Discovery / HBO Max series Alien Encounters--but because we as a human species are experiencing more and more of what methodologically replicated evidence reveals: unbelievable yet real and lawful events in the multiverse of reality. The demand for a new master narrative is here. It appears in MULTIVERSE, a bold new book by scholar of the unknown Mitch Horowitz who provides the meta-story that has peeked out at us across a century of extraordinary evidence. Drawing upon validated but neglected data in quantum mechanics and computing, interdimensional studies, string theory, parapsychology, simulation theory, ufology, forensics, astrophysics, and psi research, Mitch unveils the simple, all-embracing answer to humanity's enduring riddles. It is this: interdimensionality. We are poised for realization of ourselves and our surroundings as unbound by Newtonian mechanics and the arrow of time. Whether we are interdimensional or simulated beings--and possibly both--we are discovering ourselves capable of selecting our multiverse. One of today's most acclaimed voices of esoterica, parapsychology, and the unexplained, Mitch Horowitz is a PEN Award-winning historian whose books include Occult America, The Miracle Club, Daydream Believer, Modern Occultism, Happy Warriors, and Practical Magick. A former vice president at Penguin Random House, Mitch has written on alternative spirituality for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, Time, and The Wall Street Journal. A frequent presence in national media, Mitch hosts Discovery / HBO Max's Alien Encounters; plays himself in AMC-Shudder's V/H/S/Beyond, a 2025 Critics Choice Award nominee for Best Movie Made for Television; appears regularly on the History Channel's The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd, and hosts SpectreVision's podcast Extraordinary Evidence: ESP Is Real. Mitch's 2022 feature documentary The Kybalion, shot on location in Egypt, premiered as the #3 doc on iTunes. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. "I love Mitch Horowitz" --Dan Aykroyd "Mitch is solid gold"--David Lynch "The thinking-man's mage"--Douglas Rushkoff "An amazing author"--Duncan Trussell "Easily one of our most sophisticated public intellectuals on the parapsychological tradition"--Jeffrey J.

Herkullinen kaksoispulma huokuu salapoliisiromaanien kulta-aikaa. Murhamysteeri perienglantilaisessa 1950-luvun pikkukylässä, toinen nykyhetken kustantamomaailmassa – ja koko joukko harhauttavia johtolankoja. Kustannustoimittaja Susan Ryelandilla on pulmaa kerrakseen. Dekkarikirjailija Alan Conway on lähettänyt Susanin luettavaksi uusimman 1950-luvulle sijoittuvan rikosromaaninsa käsikirjoituksen, mutta siitä puuttuu viimeinen luku eli kaikkein tärkein: murhan ratkaisu. Hankala ja omalaatuinen Conway on teillä tietymättömillä, joten Susanin täytyy koota monimutkainen palapeli itse. Pian käy kuitenkin ilmi, että käsikirjoituksen rivien välissä piilee aivan toinen mysteeri: kirjailijan tekstiin piilottamat vihjeet kielivät tosielämän uhkasta. Harakkamurhat on älyllistä dekkariviihdettä neiti Marplen ja Poirot'n hengessä. ”Kaksinkertainen pulmapähkinä niille mysteerien ystäville, jotka eivät löydä nykytrillereistä kaipaamaansa perinteistä otetta.” THE NEW YORK TIMES ”Pirullisen nerokkaasti rakennettu rikosromaani, joka uudistaa genreään.” THE GUARDIAN ”Mannaa perinteisten mysteerien ystäville.” TIME Anthony Horowitz on Ison-Britannian menestyneimpiä kirjailijoita. Hän on kirjoittanut yli 50 romaania ja työskennellyt lisäksi monipuolisesti median parissa: hän on käsikirjoittanut ja tuottanut lukuisia elokuvia ja TV-sarjoja, esimerkiksi rakastettuja Midsomerin murhia. Jännityskirjailijana Horowitz tunnetaan vuonna 2016 ilmestyneestä Harakkamurhat-mysteeristä, joka nousi nopeasti sekä lukijoiden että kriitikoiden suosioon ja josta on tehty myös ihastusta herättänyt samanniminen TV-sarja.

"Mul on väga kahju, aga vastus on ei." Vastutahtsi uurija Daniel Hawthorne'i juhtumitest raamatuid kirjutanud Anthony Horowitzil on mõõt täis: kuna kolm raamatut on valmis ning leping sellega läbi, teatab ta uurijale, et läbi on ka nende koostöö. Tal on palju muudki teha! Nimelt on West Endis kohe esietendumas tema uus näidend "Meelemäng" ja see vajab kogu ta tähelepanu. Esimene arvustus lavastusele on aga jõhker. Sunday Timesi kriitik Harriet Throsby taob näidendi maa sisse. Järgmisel päeval on kriitikuproua surnud, rinnas püsti Anthonyle kingitud dekoratiivne pistoda, millel ilutsevad tema sõrmejäljed. Ülemuurija Cara Grunshaw, kes pole unustanud oma alandust nende eelmises mõrvajuhtumis ja kirjaniku rolli selles, esitab Anthonyle mõrvasüüdistuse ja ta pistetakse pokri. Kõik tõendid räägivad Anthony kahjuks. Kogu ülejäänud trupp näib mäletavat, kui tulitige Anthony arvustuse peale oli. Teda saab aidata ainult üks mees ... aga kas Hawthorne vastab tema kõnele? Hawthorne'i ja Horowitzi juhtumite sarjast on varem ilmunud "Sõna on mõrv", "Lause on surm" ja "Roimarlik rida".

From the global bestselling author of Moonflower Murders and Close to Death comes an unputdownable new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series. The good news is that The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is being turned into a major feature film. The bad news is that the director is pretentious, the screenwriter thinks she’s Salman Rushdie, the stars hate each other and the producer has run out of money. And things are about to get much worse. In the third week of the shoot (in Hastings), the actor playing Hawthorne is murdered. It happens the day after the real Hawthorne and his hopeless assistant have visited the set. And now Hawthorne has no choice. He has to investigate his own murder. Is it possible that Hawthorne made the biggest mistake of his career and arrested the wrong man? And is it now time for him to pay the price? The sixth book in the Hawthorne series is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well. It’s going to be the most surprising and shocking case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far. --------- ‘Easily the greatest of our crime writers’ Sunday Times 'Nobody does this crime fiction better than Anthony Horowitz’ Crime Time FM 'Anthony Horowitz is a national treasure' Ragnar Jónasson Readers love the Hawthorne & Horowitz series . . . ***** 'It’s Agatha Christie on steroids!' ***** 'Wow, this has got to be my favourite detective series ever!' ***** 'I had so much fun reading this book' ***** 'Outstanding . . .

Sisters of the Extreme

Sisters of the Extreme

Michael Horowitz; Cynthia Palmer

Park Street Press,U.S.
2000

An anthology of writings by some of the most influential women in history on the often misunderstood and misrepresented female drug experience. * With great honesty, bravery, and frankness, women from diverse backgrounds write about their drug experiences. Women have been experimenting with drugs since prehistoric times, and yet published accounts of their views on the drug experience have been relegated to either antiseptic sociological studies or sensationalized stories splashed across the tabloids. The media has given us an enduring, but inaccurate, stereotype of a female drug user: passive, addicted, exploited, degraded, promiscuous. But the selections in this anthology-- penned by such famous names as Billie Holiday, Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, and Carrie Fisher-- show us that the real experiences of women are anything but stereotypical. "Sisters of the Extreme" provides us with writings by women from diverse occupations and backgrounds, from prostitute to physician, who through their use of drugs dared cross the boundaries set by society-- often doing so with the hope of expanding themselves and their vision of the world. Whether with LSD, peyote, cocaine, heroine, MDMA, or marijuana, these women have sought to reach, through their experimentation, other levels of consciousness. Sometimes their quests have brought unexpected rewards, other times great suffering and misfortune. But wherever their trips have left them, these women have lived courageously-- if sometimes dangerously-- and written about their journeys eloquently.
