Art recovery expert Jamie Saintclair thought he knew his grandfather, but when he stumbles upon the old man's lost diary he's astonished to find that the gentle Anglican clergyman was a decorated hero who had served in the Special Air Service in World War Two. And his grandfather has one more surprise for him.

The Doomsday Testament

AD 64 - Roman centurion Marcus Domitus leads an expedition to find the mythical treasure hidden deep inside Queen Dido's temple. AD 1945 - In the confusion and chaos of a burning Berlin, two high-powered Nazis disappear, and so does a precious object. AD 2009 - Two families are brutally tortured and murdered in Boston and London, the crimes linked by a single name and a shared history. Art recovery specialist Jamie Saintclair receives a call from a Boston detective, asking for his help to investigate a brutal murder. She believes Saintclair might hold the key to solving the crime through his detailed knowledge of specialist Nazi units. But as they delve deeper into the sinister world of the occult, they uncover a dark secret that men have lusted over for more than two millennia. Long ago, in the ancient temple of Isis, something was stolen, and the repercussions have resonated through the centuries. Saintclair must discover the truth before the curse claims more victims, and finally catches up with him.

The Isis Covenant

The explosive new adventure thriller from the bestselling author of The Doomsday Testament and The Excalibur Codex. April 1943 -- A Mitsubishi transport plane plunges from the sky over the island of Bougainville. On board is Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto, architect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In a document case chained to his wrist is the greatest secret of the Second World War -- a revelation with the potential to change the world if it is ever revealed. December 2011 -- Art recovery expert Jamie Saintclair celebrates the return of a Vermeer painting to its rightful owner, and the day turns even better when he's offered a lucrative commission. Not much can surprise Jamie, but he blinks when mining tycoon Keith Devlin reveals the object he wants him to find. How did the preserved head of a Solomon Island warrior end up in a German museum? And how is he supposed to discover what happened to it in 1945? The search takes Jamie from Berlin to Tokyo and with every turn the significance of the Bougainville skull becomes ever greater. Soon he realizes he's become involved in something much more important than finding a lost piece of history. Three thousand miles away, the answer lies in airless jungles that have already swallowed up one terrible conflict and are now being torn by a war the world isn't meant to know about.

The Samurai Inheritance

For countless generations the sword had been kept hidden, ready for a time of need. But not hidden well enough, because on one warm July night in 1937 it vanished -- its disappearance swallowed up in the storm clouds of war that would soon engulf the world. 1941 -- twelve SS generals gather at a castle in East Prussia to re-enact an ancient rite and call on the spirits of Europe's mightiest warriors to aid them in the coming battle in the East. At the heart of the ritual is a pentagram formed by five swords. One of them is Excalibur, the mythical weapon pulled from a stone by King Arthur. 2010 -- Art recovery expert Jamie Saintclair laughs when he reads the codex to a German war veteran's will, the strange ritual it describes and the mention of a sword named Excalibur. But collector Adam Steele is convinced -- and if Jamie can find the legendary sword, he will pay a small fortune for it. The hunt for Excalibur takes Jamie from Germany to eastern Poland and a deadly encounter in Hitler's Wolf's Lair. The castle has been destroyed down to the last stone and the only clue to the sword's fate is the strange tale of a wartime partisan unit murdered by its own commander. With a team of international assassins on his trail and the distinction between friend and enemy a blur, Jamie finally makes it back to a Britain under siege, where the last piece of the puzzle falls into place and he discovers that the line between obsession and madness is gossamer thin."

Wir konnten kein einfaches und unterhaltsames Buch finden, welches Laien Quantenphysik erklärt. Also haben wir eins geschrieben. Warum haben wir es Quantenphysik für Hippies genannt? Interessanterweise wird die Quantenphysik gerade in spirituellen Kreisen häufig diskutiert. Das macht Sinn, da die Quantenphysik die Struktur unserer Realität auf die fundamentalste Art beschreibt, die wir kennen. Leider kursieren viele Fehlinformationen darüber, was die Quantenphysik letztendlich wirklich für uns Menschen bedeutet. Mit diesen Buch möchten wir neugierige Laien zum Staunen und zum Lachen bringen, indem wir ihnen mit viel Witz, Bildern und Metaphern die wunderbare Welt der Quantenphysik zugänglich machen. Klappentext: Bob, ein spiritueller Hippie, trifft den schlagfertigen Nerd Alice, die den ganzen Tag von Quantenphysik träumt. Diese scheinbar zufällige Begegnung führt sie auf eine atemberaubende Reise in die Natur der Wirklichkeit, welche ihr Leben für immer verändert wird. Geschrieben von Quantenphysikern und liebevoll illustriert, macht "Quantenphysik für Hippies" die bizarre Welt der Quantenphysik und deren unglaublichen Konsequenzen einfach verständlich.

Tra Clive Cussler e Glenn Cooper Un successo mondiale Autore del bestseller La città perduta dei nazisti Per generazioni, la spada è stata tenuta nascosta, custodita per quando ce ne fosse stato bisogno.

Dodici generali delle SS si riuniscono in un castello della Prussia orientale per evocare, con un rito antichissimo, gli spiriti dei più potenti guerrieri d’Europa.

L’esperto di opere d’arte Jamie Saintclair sta consultando un documento appartenente a un veterano di guerra tedesco, quando incappa nella descrizione di uno strano rituale che coinvolge la leggendaria Excalibur.

Un maestro del thriller storico Per ritrovare la leggendaria spada di Excalibur, Jamie Saintclair dovrà affrontare un nemico insidioso e invisibile «Avvincente ed estremamente accurato, vi aggancerà dal primo capitolo fino al finale esplosivo.» Scottish Daily Record «Il talento di questo autore sta nel farti dimenticare la realtà e immergerti in un mondo di miti e leggende.» «Ha ritmo e profondità, colpi di scena, ma si percepisce anche tutto il grande lavoro di ricerca che c’è dietro.» James Douglas è lo pseudonimo di Douglas Jackson, autore di romanzi storici di successo pubblicati in Italia dalla Newton Compton. La città perduta dei nazisti e La piramide del faraone maledetto danno inizio alla serie di thriller storici che hanno come protagonista Jamie Saintclair, esperto nel recupero di opere d’arte, serie che prosegue con Codice Excalibur.

Building defects still continue to plague the construction industry. The lessons learned over the last forty years have not been fully applied. Many new or refurbished buildings still leak or crack. Lack of awareness by designers and installers as to the main mechanisms that trigger such failures remains a problem for the industry. Investigating and rectifying building failures form a major part of building surveyors’ bread and butter work. This book provides guidance on this work for typical residential, commercial and industrial buildings – with advice on how to diagnose a wide range of defects with an emphasis on evidence based practice throughout. It considers both modern and older construction methods, together with new and traditional materials. The particular problems of alteration and renovation work are also discussed. The first four chapters provide information and guidance on the methodology for investigating failures – how to prepare for and conduct an investigation into a building defect and subsequently diagnose its cause in a logical manner. This fourth edition has been updated and expanded to cover the latest diagnostic procedures and research. It also includes Appendices and a new Bibliography, and provides an extensive list of books on building pathology and related topics in the UK and North America. It is essential reading for all students and practitioners interested in building surveying and building conservation.
