Trois individus qui trempent dans le voyeurisme, la pornographie, le cannibalisme et la nécrophilie. Une étudiante universitaire menant une vie bien rangée qui se retrouve à la morgue après avoir consommé du Flakka. Un tueur à gages qui revient dans sa ville natale afin de mettre sa soeur en terre et qui découvre de troublantes vérités à son sujet. Une rousse excentrique à la libido débridée et dénuée de tout sens moral, capable de pervertir les âmes les plus pures.

Depuis la fin des années 1960, les crimes à caractère occulte connaissent une progression foudroyante. À tel point que des corps policiers ont mis sur pied des unités d’élite spécialisée; en effet, la vision intime du monde de ces meurtriers est souvent peuplée de démons, de vampires et de goules. Ici, nous ne parlons plus de meurtres ou de modus operandi, mais de rituels et de sacrifices. Mais qui sont ces «tueurs de l’occulte»? Par quelle «logique» tordue en viennent-ils à croire qu’ils sont les messagers de quelque divinité?

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day - and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History", the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.

How is it possible for the disciplines of cosmology, geology, anthropology, biology, and history to fit together? These 48 lectures answer that question by weaving a single story from accounts of the past developed by a variety of scholarly disciplines. The result is a story stretching from the origins of the universe to the present day and beyond, in which human history is seen as part of the history of our Earth and biosphere, and the Earth's history, in turn, is seen as part of the history of the universe.

Pisa, May 1364. Sir William Gold is looking forward to a lucrative career as a hired sword in the endless warring between Italy's city states. But when a message comes from the Grand Master of the Hospitaliers, William is forced to leave his dreams of fame and fortune behind him. The Hospitaliers are gathering men for a crusade, and Sir William must join them. Yet before they set out for the holy land, the knights face deadly adversaries much closer to home. In the twisting politics of Italy, no one can be trusted. And there are those who would be pleased to see the crusade fail.

The Chivalry series follows young William Gold, who runs away from London to follow the Black Prince, from the killing fields of France, through life as a routier and criminal, and to redemption with the Knights of Saint John, further disillusion and an eventual career as a professional soldier and knight. Rich in the details of life in the High Middle Ages, the series also deals with modern issues about the role of violence in society, rules of conflict and war, and the price that people pay for using violence.

Oui ou non, les Vikings ont-ils franchi l'Atlantique et fondé des établissements sur les côtes américaines ? La disparition soudaine de la civilisation maya, son écriture indéchiffrable posent des questions restées sans réponse.
