De Engelse universiteitsstad Oxford wordt opgeschrikt door de brute moord op een jonge studente. Na de vondst van haar levenloze lichaam valt het intieme afscheidsetentje van politiefotograaf Philip Bainbridge met zijn ex, thrillerauteur Laura Niven in het water. Ze spoedden zich naar de plaats delict. Het beeld dat Philip op de gevoelige plaat moet vast leggen is huiveringwekkend. Het hart van het slachtoffer is met chirurgische precisie uit het lichaam verwijderd. Op de lege plek glinstert nu een oude gouden munt. Vierentwintig uur later vindt de politie opnieuw een lichaam van een vermoorde studente. Nu zijn de hersenen verwijderd en in de holte blinkt een oude zilveren munt. Laura bijt zich in de zaak vast en ontdekt in de Bodleian Library dat er in de rijke historie van Oxford vaker moorden gepleegd zijn met dezelfde gruwelijke details. Geholpen door Philip en hun bijdehante dochter Joanna, stuit Laura op een reeks van mysteries die hun oorsprong vinden bij de alchemisten in de tijd van Sir. Isaac Newton en die een verband lijken te hebben met de een wonderbaarlijk verschijnsel dat equinox wordt genoemd…

In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and highly capable submarines. At times, as in the early days of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and in the Falklands conflict, carriers alone could deploy high- performance aircraft to the battlefield.

Focusing on the practical application of narrative therapy, this book presents detailed accounts of five key areas: re-authoring conversations, remembering conversations, scaffolding conversations, definitional ceremony, and externalizing conversations. It features transcripts, commentary, and skills training exercises to enhance understanding and application in therapeutic settings.

Unlike some guides that give you just the basics that you need to get started, this book teaches you everything you need to know about using Python including what you can use it for.

The book is divided into five sections to make it easier for the reader: Part 1 - Data Structures and Algorithms Part 2 - Machine Learning Part 3 - Django Part 4 - ArcGIS Programming Part 5 - Software Development and Testing

Despite incredible political, military, and intelligence risks, and after six years of secret preparations, the CIA attempted to salvage the sunken Soviet ballistic missile submarine K-129 from the depths of the North Pacific Ocean in early August 1974. This audacious effort was carried out under the cover of an undersea mining operation sponsored by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. "Azorian"--Incorrectly identified as Project Jennifer by the press-- was the most ambitious ocean engineering endeavor ever attempted and can be compared to the 1969 moon landing for its level of technological ac.

Use of letter-writing in family therapy. White and Epston base their therapy on the assumption that people experience problems when the stories of their lives, as they or others have invented them, do not sufficiently represent their lived experience. Therapy then becomes a process of storying or restorying the lives and experiences of these people. In this way narrative comes to play a central role in therapy. Both authors share delightful examples of a storied therapy that privileges a person’s lived experience, inviting a reflexive posture and encouraging a sense of authorship and reauthorship of one’s experiences and relationships in the telling and retelling of one’s story.

Imagined by one of the world's foremost Newton scholars, this fictionalized conversation presents the essential biography of one of the greatest scientific minds of all time
