Marcus, toujours à la recherche de son fils retenu en otage chez les barbares, s’engage dans les troupes romaines dirigées par Germanicus et n’a plus qu’une obsession : se venger de celui qu’il considérait autrefois comme son frère et qui lui a pris ce qu’il avait de plus cher.

Dans ce septième volet d’une saga palpitante se déroulant sous l’Empire romain, Marini signe un scénario plein de rebondissements avec, en prime, des scènes de combats grandioses.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex facial plastic operations because every nose has a different anatomy. It can be performed to meet aesthetic goals and/or for reconstructive purposes to correct trauma, birth defects or breathing problems.§§Professor Huizing's book focuses on the concept of functional reconstructive nasal surgery: The primary objective of nasal surgery is to restore nasal function by recreating normality (normal anatomy), and it is given priority over that of enhancing beauty. Function should never be compromised for aesthetics because this often leads to a worsening of the patients' functional status, but function is dependent on form.§§For the 2nd edition, Professor Huizing moved away from the concept of a two-author book and prepared the new edition together with an international group of like-minded experts (e.g., Dr. Tasman, Prof. Pirsig, Dr. Kern, etc.). The editor and contributors all follow the same "school of surgical thinking", and taught/were taught/teach on the most important international rhinology courses. Dr. John de Groot was again responsible for the preparation of the beautiful drawings.§§For the 2nd revised, updated, and expanded edition:§- The basic concept and structure was maintained§- The different chapters were allocated to the contributors for review and revision§- The chapters were updated and expanded. For example a new technique on saddle nose correction is added; the chapters on endonasal surgery of the infundibulum and on tissue banks are omitted; the chapter on complications was expanded.§- Regarding the illustrations, old photos were replaced with modern four-color ones; b/w photos that remain will be printed in color; additional photos of intraoperative situations and of results were added, as well as new drawings.

A young woman writer in mid-1908s Philippines joins the growing revolution against the brutal rule of Ferdinand Marcos mostly in an effort to track down books and pursue romantic connections with their authors. Original. Moving, sexy, and archly funny, Gina Apostols Philippine National Book Award-winning Bibliolepsy is a love letter to the written word and a brilliantly unorthodox look at the rebellion that brought down a dictatorship Gina Apostols debut novel, available for the first time in the US, tells of a young woman caught between a lifelong desire to escape into books and a real-world revolution. It is the mid-eighties, two decades into the kleptocratic, brutal rule of Ferdinand Marcos. The Philippine economy is in deep recession, and civil unrest is growing by the day. But Primi Peregrino has her own priorities: tracking down books and pursuing romantic connections with their authors. For Primi, the nascent revolution means that writers are gathering more often, and with greater urgency, so that every poetry reading she attends presents a veritable Justice League of authors for her to choose among. As the Marcos dictatorship stands poised to topple, Primi remains true to her fantasy: that she, a vagabond from history, a runaway from time, can be saved by sex, love, and books.

Development, Learning, and Community uses data drawn from a study of pluralistic Jewish high schools to illustrate the complex and often challenging interplay between the cognitive and socio-affective elements of education. Throughout, Kress grapples with questions such as: How can the balance between community cohesion and group differences be achieved in diverse settings? What are the educational implications of an approach to identity development rooted in contemporary developmental theories that posit the interaction among cognition, affect, and behavior? How can the formal and informal offerings of a school coalesce to address these broadly conceived identity outcomes, and what are the challenges in doing so? Autorid: Jeffrey Kress
