Book of Judas
Book of Judas
Richard Hollands
¥40.79
Philip and Simon Trenchard lost their parents at the age of seven and eight in a road accident, and were brought up by their beloved grandfather, the eminent archaeologist Sir Lawrence. At his funeral, years later, their world is about to be shattered once again – in fact the entire world as we know it faces an Armageddon of unimaginable evil. In Sir Lawrence’s will, he entrusts to the brothers the terrible secret he uncovered in the Holy Lands – some ancient apparently Biblical scrolls. But these were not the testaments of Mathew, Mark or John but of Judas… “The truth was potentially explosive. We had found the map and instructions to the biggest religious discovery of all time… Not only that, but if the Book of Judas really existed it was prophesised that its unearthing would destroy the pillars upon which the entire Christian religion had grown… It had the power to unlock the devil himself.” The very knowledge of their existence is deadly. Now Sir Lawrence is gone the Vatican is determined to claim the secret that undermines its raison d’être and their hired agents will stop at nothing. Worse still, is the knowledge that the Antichrist’s disciples on earth, The Satanica, have unleashed an assassin of pure, implacable evil leaving hideously mutilated bodies in his wake as he follows the Trenchard brothers on their quest. In a terrifying, nail-biting mission that takes us from leafy Oxfordshire to the Dead Sea; from Greece to the Vatican, the brothers travel the world to save the world – and themselves – from Satan’s ultimate revenge Language English

The Early Bird: A Business Man's Love Story
The Early Bird: A Business Man's Love Story
George Randolph Chester
¥40.79
The youngish-looking man who so vigorously swung off the train at Restview, wore a pair of intensely dark blue eyes which immediately photographed everything within their range of vision—flat green country, shaded farm-houses, encircling wooded hills and all—weighed it and sorted it and filed it away for future reference; and his clothes clung on him with almost that enviable fit found only in advertisements. Immediately he threw his luggage into the tonneau of the dingy automobile drawn up at the side of the lonely platform, and promptly climbed in after it. Spurred into purely mechanical action by this silent decisiveness, the driver, a grizzled graduate from a hay wagon, and a born grump, as promptly and as silently started his machine. The crisp and perfect start, however, was given check by a peremptory voice from the platform.

Why the Sea is Salt and Other Fairy Tales
Andrew Lang

The Aegean Sea Dispute between Greece and Turkey: The Consequences for NATO and
The Aegean Sea Dispute between Greece and Turkey: The Consequences for NATO and
Dimitris Salapatas
¥63.19
The Aegean dispute between Greece and Turkey is a persistent problem between the two allied states. Difference of interpretation of the treaties has contributed in the prevalence of the argument. This dispute consists of five key issues. Greece only accepts one, namely the delimitation of the continental shelf. However, Turkey has introduced and has persisted on the other four, which are the delimitation of the territorial seas, the national airspace and FIR controls over the Aegean Sea, the demilitarization of the Eastern Aegean Islands and finally the disputed islands, islets and rocks which have presented the grey zones issue. All of these matters have persisted for so long, especially after the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 where the current status quo in the Aegean was introduced, due to economic, political and strategic reasons. The Aegean dispute does not only have consequences for Greece and Turkey; it also affects, negatively, NATO and the European Union. This is an ongoing problem, which if not solved it will produce future problems, not only for the two states, but also for NATO and the EU. A third party may be needed in order to assist in finding a just and permanent solution concerning this dispute, since Greece and Turkey seem incapable of solving this dispute by themselves.

Settling down in a makeshift shed overlooking the ocean with a suitcase of old family letters and journals, Jo uncovers astonishing truths about Dan’s death. Truths about her mother and grandmother that have ricocheted across four generations and are igniting again the passionate conflicts of her youth, bringing her back into contact with Rory O’Donovan, Dan’s great-nephew.

Fiecare p?rinte ??i dore?te, pentru copilul lui, s? fie fericit. ?i totu?i, acesta nu este primul cuv?nt care ne vine ?n minte atunci c?nd ne g?ndim la viitorul copiilor no?tri. Adesea punem pe primul loc siguran?a material? sau o slujb? stabil? ?i bine pl?tit?. Oare cele dou? se exclud reciproc? Sau bun?starea aduce cu sine fericirea? Cum se poate ca un copil zburdalnic, cu ochi str?lucitori, s? se transforme ?ntr-un adult mohor?t, ?ntr-un contabil al propriei vie?i?Dr. Edward Hallowell ne ?nva?? c? fericirea poate fi construit?. Fericirea nu ?ine de posesiunile materiale, nu este g?sit? ?ntr-un loc anume, nu ne este oferit? la na?tere. Fericirea e o abilitate, pe care orice p?rinte o poate dezvolta ?n copilul s?u atunci c?nd urmeaz? cei cinci pa?i pe care dr.
