«Vi siete riavvicinati?» «No. Ma siamo d’accordo nel produrre un erede». «Che cosa potrebbe mai andare storto». È il 1899, Brian ha trent’anni e gli sembra di aver già vissuto tre vite, in nessuna delle quali se l’è cavata molto bene. Nella prima ha gozzovigliato in tutte le bettole di Londra – e anche in diversi esclusivi club di St. James – e ha ucciso per sbaglio un uomo durante un litigio. Nella seconda, la sua amante e la figlia frutto della loro unione sono morte di febbre. Nella terza ha viaggiato per tutto l’Oriente, senza riuscire a rimettere insieme i pezzi della sua vita. È sicuro di essere maledetto da Dio, ma anche i dannati, prima o poi, devono rispondere ...
The Incredible True Story of the Most Hunted Man in Pacific Coast History––and the Woman He Loved Before the 1920s found their roar, a charismatic gambling addict named Roy Gardner dominated news headlines with daring train robberies and escapes from incarceration. Nicknamed "the Smiling Bandit," Gardner spilled no blood––except his own––as he cut a felonious path across the western United States, as the country hobbled through a recession in the aftermath of the First World War.

Ornamental plants are economically important worldwide. Both growers and consumers ask continuously for new, improved varieties. Although there are numerous ornamental species, ornamental plant breeding and plant breeding research is mainly limited to some major species. This book focuses on the recent advances and achievements in ornamental plant breeding. The first part of the book focuses on plant traits and breeding techniques that are typical for ornamental plants. Eminent research groups write these general chapters. For plant traits like flower colour or shape, breeding for disease resistance and vase or shelf life are reviewed. General technical plant breeding chapters deal with mutation breeding, polyploidisation, in vitro breeding techniques and new developments in molecular techniques. The second part of the book consists of crop-specific chapters. Here all economically major ornamental species are handled together with selected representative species from different plant groups (cut flowers, pot plants, woody ornamental plants). In these crop-specific chapters, the main focus is on recent scientific achievements over the last decade.
