Una tranquilla vacanza di coppia si trasforma in una vera e propria caccia all’assassino in questo libro di Claudio Hernandez. Recatisi a Barcellona per trascorrere alcuni giorni lontani dalla stressante quotidianità, questa coppia, di cui la donna è una poliziotta, si ritrova per caso di fronte a un inquietante dipinto di un pittore mendicante. Questo episodio dà il via a una serie di macabri ritrovamenti di quadri e cadaveri che daranno filo da torcere ai due, che dovranno quindi abbandonare l’idea delle tanto attese vacanze per risolvere il caso.
The seventeen contributions constituting this edited volume focus on archaic Greek thought — Presocratics broadly understood, including Sophists, Archaic poets, or Tragedians — and its multiform reception, use or appropriation through times and lands. The first chapters deal with the direct reconstruction and understanding of early Greek thought, from the very first philosophical writings to the last Presocratic philosopher. By alternating discussions of editorial and translation issues, stylistic analysis, geographical study and history of science, these contributions question the value of the testimonies or fragments attributed to those early thinkers and challenge our understanding of...
This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the increasingly important and controversial subject of race relations in Brazil. North American scholars of race relations frequently turn to Brazil for comparisons, since its history has many key similarities to that of the United States. Brazilians have commonly compared themselves with North Americans, and have traditionally argued that race relations in Brazil are far more harmonious because the country encourages race mixture rather than formal or informal segregation. More recently, however, scholars have challenged this national myth, seeking to show that race relations are characterized by exclusion, not inclusion, and that fair-...
When Ehrlich discovered the first evidence of the blood-brain barrier in 1885, he probably did not perceive the Great Wall that remained hidden from consciousness inside the central nervous system. Ehrlich had observed that acidic vital dyes did not stain the brain if they were injected into the blood stream. A century ago (1913), Goldman showed that the injection of trypan blue in the cerebrospinal fluid stained only the brain, but not the other organs. For almost a century it was thought that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) consisted in a physical barrier, resulting from the restricted permeability of the cerebral endothelial cell layer, as they are joined by tight junctions. However, as sci...

Les meurtres sont ses œuvres majeures. Tout commence pendant la Journée du livre, sur les Ramblas de Barcelone. Un peintre, assis sur le trottoir, apporte ses dernières touches à la toile qu’il considère comme sa pièce maîtresse. C’est un bras amputé, des ciseaux de chirurgien sont plantés dans les veines et les tendons. C’est le même bras que celui qu’on aperçoit, pendant tout en haut de la maison Battló. Au même moment, à l’autre bout des Ramblas, surgit un homme, habillé comme le peintre Anton Van Dyck sur son tableau représentant un manchot. L'un de ses bras a été tranché, et il se vide de son sang. Un thriller noir, chargé de sang, de suspense et de mystère qui emporte le lecteur à travers l’enquête de l’un des inspecteurs les plus réputés de l’UCO, Andrés López.
