Book excerpt: The young lawyer Peter Martin is invited by his girlfriend to spend Christmas in the family mansion of her parents in the cold lands of the north of Scotland, on the shores of the famous Loch Ness. What seems to be a pleasant gathering of relatives and friends to celebrate some lovely parties, will unexpectedly turn into a terrible nightmare. Screams of horror and despair will soon echo in the labyrinthine corridors of the house. Some of the most prominent members of the family will suffer the fierce attacks of an unknown hidden murderer. The police are bewildered, without a logical lead to follow, and the inhabitants of the house feel helpless. All the occupants of the old mansion are suspects, servants, relatives and friends, even the local police chief, in charge of the investigation, may have his ulterior motives. These bloody crimes evoke an ancient and sordid legend ... Something emerges from the mist is a story from the Suspense and Intrigue Stories collection, a series of stories written by the author in tribute to the Mistress of suspense Agatha Christie.

Book excerpt: The mist is rising so lock your doors and stay inside, for the monsters have returned. On a dark and ominous night, at the edge of the Abyss, Agathe rescues a baby from a monster that should have been extinct. Gravely injured in the process, the elderly Agathe is rewarded by having her youth restored. But that’s only the start of the strangeness. The child she saves is far from ordinary. Belle has a unique and wondrous magic that must not fall into the wrong hands. Like those of the King. Everyone knows the monarch steals those they called the Blessed—those with the purple eyes. Supposedly, they are the only thing standing between the Kingdom and the rising mist. As far as Agathe is concerned, they’re victims of the King’s lust for power. What is the King really doing with the Blessed and their magic? To discover the truth, Agathe must insert herself into the court of the enemy. Unfortunately, things are worse than they seem. Can Agathe embrace destiny and not only save herself but also the Kingdom? genre: epic fantasy, romantic fantasy, magic and sorcery, prophecy, older heroine, quest, sword and sorcery, friendship, king, action and adventure

Book Synopsis New Perspectives on Mathematical Practices by : Bart Van Kerkhove

Download or read book New Perspectives on Mathematical Practices written by Bart Van Kerkhove. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the importance of historical enquiry for the appreciation of philosophical problems concerning mathematics. It contains a well-balanced mixture of contributions by internationally established experts, such as Jeremy Gray and Jens Hoyrup; upcoming scholars, such as Erich Reck and Dirk Schlimm; and young, promising researchers at the beginning of their careers. The book is situated within a relatively new and broadly naturalistic tradition in the philosophy of mathematics. In this alternative philosophical current, which has been dramatically growing in importance in the last few decades, unlike in the traditional schools, proper attention is paid to scientific practices as informing for philosophical accounts.
