Tedrick Gritswell of Borobo Reef
Living on Borobo Reef is tough, especially if you're a spud who's down on his luck. Ex-detective Tedrick Gritswell just wants to be left alone, but a visit from a drop-dead gorgeous dame coupled sees him take up the case of a missing VIP. With all the heavies, whores, wise-guys and simpletons swimming about, it gets more than dangerous, it gets downright deadly.
The Arcata Conference on Representations of Finite Groups, Part 2
The papers in these proceedings of the 1986 Arcata Summer Institute bear witness to the extraordinarily vital and intense research in the representation theory of finite groups. The confluence of diverse mathematical disciplines has brought forth work of great scope and depth. Particularly striking is the influence of algebraic geometry and cohomology theory in the modular representation theory and the character theory of reductive groups over finite fields, and in the general modular representation theory of finite groups. The continuing developments in block theory and the general character theory of finite groups is noteworthy. The expository and research aspects of the Summer Institute are well represented by these papers.
Hampton Court Ghost
Necessity forces us all to make uncomfortable choices. The Professor, operating in such a fringe discipline as Paranormology, bore a greater burden than most. Every decision held the potential to bring his work, and the budding field, into disrepute. Our investigation at Hampton Court taught me that there is more to ghost hunting than simply recording and observing; a proper grasp of politics is just as necessary as the ability to read a thermometer.
Historical Syntax
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
Trust
Dans l'immense building du Trust, à New York, l'état-major de crise est réuni. Un message alarmant vient de lui parvenir : la production minière du complexe industriel de Simarie, en Afrique, est en train de s'effondrer. Il faut agir. Et vite. Sinon... Trop d'intérêts sont en jeu. Des intérêts immenses. Ceux du Trust avant tout, qui contrôle l'entreprise de Simarie. Il lui faut - à tout prix - reprendre les choses en main. Recruter en toute hâte des experts francophones. Les envoyer en mission dans ce point névralgique de l'Afrique. Et puisque les événements peuvent, à tout moment, dégénérer, faire appel aux « amis » de la CIA. Tous les moyens sont bons, tous les coups sont permis... Du moins en apparence, car le problème est délicat. Très délicat même : la Simarie est, en effet, sous tutelle politique soviétique... Les Africains sont écrasés entre les Russes et l'appétit insatiable du Trust américain. La situation est explosive... Un homme seul décide de lutter. Un Français, Jean-Claude Berthier. Son combat pour la vérité permettra-t-il d'éviter une catastrophe ?
Cuba
This second edition reveals Cuba's true island spirit: from colonial Havana and the world-heritage site of Trinidad, to the Afro-Cuban culture of Santiago. This guide also covers famous beaches and provides travelers with countless shortcuts and tips for independent travel in Cuba.
Tedrick Gritswell Makes Waves
The detective business is going swell for Tedrick 'Stumpy' Gritswell. With more cases than he can shake a keel-stick at, he and his assist-kicks Bill and Reginald are up to their noggins in work. That changes when he is hired by Barnes to investigate the bizarre death of a powerful and influential figure. His probing sweeps him into the heart of a clandestine society, revealing a world spoken of only in whispers. Hidden dangers and sinister characters shatter Tedrick's world, thrusting him closer and closer to the black bowels of the Abyss.
Pompeii's Secrets
Combining fictional characterisation and factual research Alan Lloyd asks who were these people who lived in Pompeii and what were their lives like in those last days before the disaster? Alan Lloyd, an acclaimed historian and novelist, breathes life into the ghosts that haunt the empty streets, quiet courtyards and silent rooms of Pompeii while stirring the imagination of everyone who has seen the well-preserved ruins of the ancient city. Through the eyes of Taras, Lloyd's imaginatively reconstructed narrator, we discover the real Pompeii, its geography, history and culture with a compelling urgency as the city's last day approaches. Alan Lloyd's brand of popular history concentrates on the details and colour that make for engrossing reading, the skilful depiction of a seminal moment in history and, above all, a readable narrative. Pompeii's Secrets is an engrossing adventure novel, as well as a fascinating historical survey.
Tedrick Gritswell Turns the Tide
True friends stick with you through the hard times, even if you've gone and kidnapped the son of a psychopathic monster. With Ava in the clutches of Syd Carbone, what else was Tedrick supposed to do? Now he must race to get to the source of the Emerald Algae before every other spud in the ocean gets their filthy mitts on it. Nothing can stand in his way. Except for the bureaucrats at Town Hall, maybe. Hordes of savage squid are a hindrance, and the police aren't exactly friendly for some reason. Buff! Sometimes a spud can't catch a break, but Tedrick will get to the bottom of it, come hell or high water.
