Richard "The Ice Man" Kuklinski led a double life beyond anything ever seen on The Sopranos, becoming one of the most notorious professional assassins in American history while hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Now, after 240 hours of face-to-face interviews with Kuklinski and his wife and daughters, author Philip Carlo tells his extraordinary story.

One of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists, Carlo Rovelli has entranced millions of readers with his singular perspective on the cosmos. In Helgoland, he examines the enduring enigma of quantum theory. The quantum world Rovelli describes is as beautiful as it is unnerving. Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg made the crucial breakthrough for the creation of quantum mechanics, setting off a century of scientific revolution.

Un vibrant hommage à la spiritualité laïque, où l’ouverture à l’autre et le partage permettent de ralentir et d’apprendre à vivre. Explorer la voie du coeur, de l’âme, et saisir la chance de vivre, c’est oser découvrir une vérité intérieure à travers cette union si intime à soi, aux autres, à la nature. C’est ce risque que Régis Carlo a pris et continue de prendre chaque jour pour habiter le monde en poète, en philosophe, en rêveur.

Decades after Richard Ramirez left 13 dead and paralyzed the city of Los Angeles, his name is still synonymous with fear, torture, and sadistic murder. Philip Carlo's classic The Night Stalker, based on years of meticulous research and extensive interviews with Ramirez, revealed the killer and his horrifying crimes to be even more chilling than anyone could have imagined. The story of Ramirez is a bizarre and spellbinding descent into the very heart of human evil.

Voici le traité de la seule révolution qui vaille : la libération intérieure. L'homme en cage, prisonnier des dogmatismes et des conformismes de pensée, est une ombre illusoire. De l'exigence spirituelle présente de façon plus ou moins confuse dans chaque être humain, jusqu'à cette authentique libération, nous sommes conviés ici à parcourir toutes les étapes : se connaître soi-même, surmonter la peur, découvrir peu à peu le silence et la plénitude.

This playful, entertaining, and mind-bending introduction to modern physics briskly explains Einstein's general relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary particles, gravity, black holes, the complex architecture of the Universe, and the role humans play in this weird and wonderful world. Carlo Rovelli, a renowned theoretical physicist, is a delightfully poetic and philosophical scientific guide. He takes us to the frontiers of our knowledge: To the most minute reaches of the fabric of space, back to the origins of the cosmos, and into the workings of our minds.

In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most listeners, this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it appears. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where, at the most fundamental level, time disappears.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, The Order of Time, and Helgoland, a closer look at the mind-bending nature of the Universe. What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions. He tells us how our understanding of reality has changed over the centuries and how physicists think about the structure of the Universe today.

Tanya has won victory after victory on the battlefield, and still the Empire hurtles toward its destruction. Zettour stands at the helm, a warped sense of patriotism guiding his actions as he prepares the stage. His only goal now is to secure the best possible defeat the Empire can afford, even if it means going down in history as the greatest villain of all time. And to make that happen, he’ll do whatever it takes to shock and awe the world, starting with Ildoa. The time for diplomacy or reason has passed. There is only war.

Dans ses "Sept brèves leçons de physique", Carlo Rovelli confiait : qu'une question avait guidé sa vie de chercheur : la nature du temps. Se hissant sur les épaules d'Isaac Newton, d'Albert Einstein, de Stephen Hawking et de bien d'autres, il nous livre enfin ses découvertes dans ce livre majeur. Le temps est au cœur d'un étrange mystère. Tel un flocon de neige qui fond lorsqu'on s'en saisit, il s'est progressivement délité sous les assauts de la science : on sait dorénavant que le temps s'écoule plus lentement en plaine qu'en altitude.

Should they conduct aggressive offensives in hopes of a break through, or should they weather the winter and use that as a chance to reorganize, restructuring the lines of battle? In the end, they decided that while they gather supplies for a theoretical offensive, they would conduct an investigation to collect intelligence. Naturally, Tanya's Salamander Unit was the first candidate for the mission. Should they push ahead, or should they hold their ground? There's no time to hesitate.

After being reborn and becoming a magic wielding soldier in the Imperial Army, Tanya Degurechaff bemoans her fate of being placed at the very edge of the front lines instead of a comfy place in the rear.

It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local bar. It is human stupidity. Carlo M. Cipolla, noted professor of economic history at the UC Berkeley, created this vitally important book in order to detect and neutralize its threat.

When Zettour tries his best to caution against the reckless plan to strike at the Federation’s vital resource fields, he soon finds himself “promoted” to a field deployment on the eastern front.
