America has enemies - ruthless people that the police, the FBI, even the military can't stop. That's when the U.S. government calls on Will Robie, a stone cold hitman who never questions orders and always nails his target. But Will Robie may have just made the first - and last - mistake of his career... It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable. He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people.Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn't an ordinary runaway -- her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he can't walk away. He needs to help her.Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents' deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power.Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life... and perhaps his own.

IF HE WRITES YOUR NAME DOWN, IT'S A DEATH SENTENCE . . Los Angeles, December 4th - exactly three weeks until Christmas day. Angela Wood, a master in the art of pickpocket, has just finished for the day - six hundred and eighty-seven dollars – not bad for less than fifteen minutes work. As she celebrates her profitable day with a cocktail, one of the patrons in the lounge she’s in catches her attention by being rude to an old man. Angela decides to teach him a lesson, and steals the man’s expensive-looking leather bag. Inside is no money ... no laptop computer ... nothing of any value ... at least not to Angela. Just a black, leather-bound book, surprisingly heavy. Curiosity takes over and in the comfort of her apartment, Angela quickly leafs through the pages. That is when the worst nightmare of her life begins. This is no ordinary book. Read it at your own peril.

Il calo improvviso delle temperature porta con sé la neve e un fagottino avvolto in uno scialle lasciato sulla soglia della stazione di polizia di Halesowen. Chi abbandonerebbe un bambino per strada con un freddo simile? È questa la domanda che tormenta la detective Kim Stone, formalmente incaricata di prendersi cura del neonato fino a che non verranno allertati i Servizi Sociali. E la notte è ancora lunga: una telefonata di emergenza richiama la detective in servizio. Kelly Rowe, una giovane prostituta, è stata assassinata nel quartiere di Hollytree. Le brutali ferite sul corpo sembrano suggerire che l'omicidio sia frutto di un raptus o di una rapina, ma Kim è sicura che quelle labbra livide, se potessero, racconterebbero un'altra storia. Quando altre prostitute vengono uccise in rapida successione, appare chiaro che i delitti sono collegati e nascondono qualcosa di inquietante. Nel frattempo prosegue la ricerca della donna che ha abbandonato il suo bambino, ma quello che all'inizio sembra un gesto disperato assume via via contorni sempre più sinistri. Per Kim Stone e la sua squadra comincia così una discesa negli abissi più oscuri dell'animo umano, che li porterà ad addentrarsi in una spirale di sangue e barbarie. Forse questa volta la verità è più spaventosa di ogni immaginazione…

Since the days of Hernan Cortes, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden in the Honduran interior. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there from Spanish invaders, warning that entering the city is a death sentence. They call it the Lost City of the Monkey God. In 1940, journalist Theodore Morde claimed to have found the city, returning with artifacts but ultimately committing suicide without revealing its location. Decades later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking quest. In 2012, they flew over a dense rainforest using advanced technology to map the terrain, revealing the unmistakable outline of a sprawling metropolis, suggesting the existence of an undiscovered city and civilization. To confirm their discovery, Preston and his team faced torrential rains, quickmud, swarms of insects, jaguars, and venomous snakes. They emerged from the jungle with proof of the legend but also contracted a horrifying, incurable disease. Filled with history, adventure, and dramatic twists, this account recounts one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century, blending suspense and shocking revelations.

Die vorliegende Ausgabe basiert auf der 8. Auflage der seit Jahrzehnten als Standardwerk anerkannten "EinfA1/4hrung in die Technische Mechanik" von IstvAn SzabA3. Aufbau und Stoffeinteilung orientieren sich an der Notwendigkeit, dem Studierenden Begriffe und Gesetze darzulegen, die er in den Vorlesungen und zur LAsung von Konstruktionsaufgaben benAtigt. Zahlreiche historische Bemerkungen ergAnzen den Stoff. Die Darstellung ist knapp, dennoch wird das wirklich Wesentliche in der notwendigen AusfA1/4hrlichkeit erlAutert. Am Ende eines jeden Kapitels finden sich Aoebungsaufgaben mit LAsungen, mit deren Hilfe der Leser seine Kenntnisse A1/4berprA1/4fen kann.

"Es gibt kaum ein Gebiet der Naturwissenschaften und der Technik, das sich ohne die mathematische Behandlung der Probleme weiterentwickeln lieJ3e. Selbst fiir technische Yerfahren, deren wesentliches Kennzeichen heute noch die praktische Erfahrung ist, wird die :'.Iathematik in zunehmendem Mal3e zum unentbehrlichen Hilfsmittel. Auch in auJ3er­ technischen Bereichen wie in der Wirtschaft ist die Mathematik zur Lasung vieler Fragen unentbehrlich geworden. - L'm dieser Entwicklung Rechnung zu tragen, hat sich der Akademische Verein Hiitte entschlossen, einen Sonderband "Mathematische Formeln und Tafeln" herauszugeben" (Zitat aus dem Vorwort der 1.Auflage). Es gab noch andere Griinde, aus dem Abschnitt "Mathematik" der HUTTE I einen besonderen Band zu machen. Einer dieser Griinde war, dal3 die in der 28. Auflage von HUTTE I vereinigten Gebiete heute nicht mehr in einem Band unterzubringen sind. An der in HUTTE I verwirklichten Idee, dem Ingenieur die fiir sein Gebiet relevanten "Theo­ retischen Grundlagen" nahezubringen, halt der Herausgeber auch weiterhin fest. In neuer Form verwirklicht - zumindest in den Anfangen - findet der Leser diese Idee in der nun­ mehr vorliegenden 2. Auflage der "Mathematik" sowie in der zweibandigen "Physik­ hiitte" 1), die 1971 noch im Verlag Wilhelm Ernst & Sohn erschienen ist.
