W. Cayd McKenzie lands on what at first appears to be a dessert world. Within hours curiosity and circumstances separate him from his ship and take him on a forced walk of several days towards what he hopes is a mountain oasis. The mountain with it's inaccessible peaks becomes the bulwark of an island that is surrounded by water within hours of his climbing to safety. The discovery of a human-like skeleton, and the very real threat of two creatures reminiscent of earth's Jurassic period are encouragement for him to seek refuge on the other side of the range. Becoming familiar with the island introduces him to aliens very much like himself who have an association with a race of intelligent dinosaurs called The Lanark. In the process he is hunted, used as target practice, and becomes the den mother of a newly hatched Lanark pup. When he finally makes contact with the alien humanoids, The Nury, who are attacked by an aggressive enemy who has been seeking to destroy all their habitations. The recovery of his ship becomes paramount; the escape into space the only hope of survival.

En gammel sak ser dagens lys når mesteren John Grisham tar oss med tilbake til Florida, der Lacy Stoltz fra Varsleren må avsløre en dommers brutale og mørke hemmeligheter.Står navnet hennes allerede på dommerens liste?Lacy Stoltz etterforsker klager mot dommere i Florida. Nå blir hun oppsøkt av en mystisk kvinne som kommer med grove anklager mot en sittende dommer. Hun påstår å ha bevis for at dommeren har begått flere drap, der faren hennes som døde for mer enn tjue år siden, var ett av ofrene. Både Lucy og kvinnen vet imidlertid at mannen de skal prøve å avsløre, er smart, tålmodig, og han har enorm makt. Dommeren fører dessuten en liste over folk han har drept, og en liste med nye ofre.«En av året beste bøker (...) i verdensklasse, verdt å holde seg opp hele natta for å lese ferdig.» The Wall Street Journal«Grishams bøker er smarte, oppfinnsomme, morsomme, og fulle av komplekse og interessante mennesker.» The Washington Post
Bogens titel, Dommere tænker ikke højt, henviser til, at dommere traditionelt holder deres tanker for sig selv. Her får du et sjældent indblik i, hvad der har formet en dommer og hans tankegang. Du får øget din viden om, hvad der fra 1960’erne og frem foregik i et bondesamfund og på et universitet, om arbejdet som advokatfuldmægtig i en provinsby og som embedsmand i Justitsministeriet. Men først og fremmest får du indsigt i, hvad der foregår i en retssal. John Mosegaard, der som landsdommer blev pensioneret i 2020, skriver om de mange sager og sagstyper, han har haft med at gøre som dommer gennem 30 år. Mange af sagerne kender du fra pressen. Der røbes intet fra voteringsværelset, men meget om, hvordan man tænker som dommer. John har gjort sig tanker om meget andet end jura og har skrevet med et glimt i øjet. Det er ikke kun en erindringsbog. Du får en tankevækkende bog om vores retssamfund. Uddrag af bogen Det, jeg – og, tror jeg, de fleste dommere – måske ”kan tage med hjem”, er de værste sager om, hvor dårligt nogle mennesker kan behandle andre mennesker i form af vold og seksuelle overgreb. Også disse tiltalte er medmennesker, hvis handlinger jeg afskyer, men som jeg har kunnet dømme uden vrede og had. Nogle ældre personer siges gennem livet i deres omgang med andre mennesker at have opsamlet en sådan bitterhed, at de næsten har mistet evnen til at lytte og vise empati. Dertil er jeg aldrig nået. I så fald burde jeg også være sat fra bestillingen. Om forfatteren John Mosegaard (f. 1954) blev cand.jur. i 1979. Han var advokatfuldmægtig i Svendborg og senere fuldmægtig i Justitsministeriet frem til 1988 og herefter dommer til 2020, først i Københavns Byret og derpå Østre Landsret. Han var næstformand i Pengeinstitutankenævnet, nu Det finansielle ankenævn, 2000-2019 og formand for Farum-kommissionen 2003-2012.

Lakes and Watersheds in the Sierra Nevada of California

The Sierra Nevada, California’s iconic mountain range, harbors thousands of remote high-elevations lakes from which water flows to sustain agriculture and cities. As climate and air quality in the region change, so do the watershed processes upon which these lakes depend. In order to understand the future of California’s ecology and natural resources, we need an integrated account of the environmental processes that underlie these aquatic systems. Synthesizing over three decades of research on the lakes and watersheds of the Sierra Nevada, this book develops an integrated account of the hydrological and biogeochemical systems that sustain them. With a focus on Emerald Lake in Sequoia National Park, the book marshals long-term limnological and ecological data to provide a detailed and synthetic account, while also highlighting the vulnerability of Sierra lakes to changes in climate and atmospheric deposition. In so doing, it lays the scientific foundations for predicting and understanding how the lakes and watersheds will respond.
John un ragazzino con tanti sogni. Ma ha anche un'ideale: un mondo senza le bugie e le parolacce. Ce la far a realizzarlo? Leggete e lo scoprirete...
Jesus came to give us life.Jesus called twelve men to be His disciples, but three fishermen–Peter, James, and John–shared a special relationship with Him. They were given direct access to some of the more pivotal events in Jesus’ ministry, such as the transfiguration, His raising of Lazarus from the dead, and His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. John’s account thus gives us a unique glimpse from one of Jesus’ closest disciples into the significance of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. John reveals how Jesus came to provide “living water” to quench our deep spiritual thirst for the things of God. He shows how Jesus is the “bread of life” who satisfies our deep spiritual hunger. And he reveals how Jesus is the only way we can obtain that living water and bread of life, for “no one comes to the Father” except through Him.The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah’s forty-plus years of commitment to teaching the Word of God.
