Koud bloed

Het vijfde boek met inspecteur Erika Foster in de hoofdrol. Als een gehavende koffer met het verminkte lichaam van een jonge man aan de oever van de Theems aanspoelt, is zelfs rechercheur Erika Foster geschokt. Ze heeft al heel wat gruwelen voorbij zien komen in haar carrière, maar dit heeft ze nooit eerder gezien. Terwijl Erika en haar team de zaak voorbereiden leggen ze de link met een ander slachtoffer, een jonge vrouw die twee weken eerder in een vergelijkbaar type koffer werd gevonden. Erika beseft dat ze op het spoor is van een seriemoordenaar die klaar is om opnieuw toe te slaan. Nog voordat ze een volgende stap kan zetten, wordt zij zelf slachtoffer van een brute aanval. Maar Erika is een doorzetter, en niets zal haar tegenhouden. Dan blijkt het leven van twee kinderen van haar collega in gevaar, en wordt de situatie nog nijpender.

Legends of Women's Basketball

The game has always been theirs. The world just took a while to watch. From the first peach baskets to packed-out arenas, women have been playing basketball since the very beginning--and fighting to be seen every step of the way. Legends of Women's Basketball traces the full history of the game: the institutions that tried to contain it, the players who refused to be contained, and the trailblazers who transformed women's basketball into one of the most electrifying sports in the world. Pat Summitt, who made winning look inevitable. Nancy Lieberman, who played wherever she had to. Brittney Griner, Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, Caitlin Clark--and so many more women who didn't just play the game at the highest level. They made sure there would always be a next one. This is their history. And it's just getting started.

Managing Conflict

This book is written primarily for leaders, especially church leaders. But its message is relevant for anyone who leads groups or organizations. Pastor Pool's thesis is that diverse viewpoints, or clashing of opinions, which is often seen as unacceptable, must, instead, be accepted as a normal part of life. Rather than rejecting or avoiding conflict, it must be managed so that it may become a force for good in our personal and corporate life. Managing conflict is like driving down a hoarfrost covered road on a bright winter day. Do it carefully, in order to prevent harm, and in order to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling, scenic, surroundings.

Prähistorischer Bronzeguss im Experiment

Dieser Band ist ein Kompendium von Bronzeguss-Experimenten einer studentischen AG des Archäologischen Instituts der Universität Hamburg im Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen, die in den Jahren 2019 bis 2025 durchgeführt wurden. Unter dem Titel "Prähistorischer Bronzeguss im Experiment" werden hier erstmals die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen vorgestellt. Die Besonderheit an diesen Metall-Experimenten ist die teilweise Wiederholung über mehrere Jahre, die den Mitgliedern der AG eine große Materialkenntnis und Erfahrung zu den mehrere tausend Jahre alten Techniken und Methoden verschafft hat und die es nur selten in dieser langen Kontinuität gibt.
