The Cruise
Millie Dunbrook—a young and unproven private investigator badly in need of steady work—has been hired to perform some exploration into a few strange yet minor incidents aboard a Caribbean cruise liner. Jack Hauser—a man still stinging from the recent departure of his wife and daughter—is simply another passenger trying to enjoy a relaxing cruise while searching for some personal answers in hope of finding new meaning to his life. Two other passengers have a completely different agenda, however. Neither Millie nor Jack, in their wildest dreams or nightmares, ever expected this cruise to be the ultimate target of an improbable plot, devised to completely destroy the boat and everyone aboard if the ransom demands aren’t met. What results is an amazing nautical game of terror as the ship and passengers sail unknowingly toward an approaching death.

Towards Consistency in International Investment Jurisprudence
Investor-State arbitration is currently a much-debated topic, both within the legal community and in the public at large. In Towards Consistency in International Investment Jurisprudence, Katharina Diel-Gligor addresses the alleged proliferation of inconsistent decision-making in this field – one of the main points of concern raised in the ongoing discussions. After exploring whether such criticism is appropriate at all, she goes on to examine the different causes, forms, and manifestations of the inconsistencies that exist through a detailed analysis of ICSID arbitration. The author then canvasses possible approaches to reform and concludes that an ICSID preliminary ruling system – the practicalities of which are set out in the study – is a suitable means for enhancing consistency in investment arbitration and moving towards a jurisprudence constante.
Astroparticle, Particle, Space Physics and Detectors for Physics Applications
The exploration of the subnuclear world is done through increasingly complex experiments covering a wide range of energy and performed in a large variety of environments ranging from particle accelerators, underground detectors to satellites and the space laboratory. Among recent advances one has to indicate, for instance, first results obtained from space and LHC experiments and progress done in preparation of the latter experiments upgrades, including plans for the LHC machine upgrade. The achievement of these research programs calls for novel techniques, new materials and instrumentation to be used in detectors, often of large scale. Therefore, fundamental physics is at the forefront of t...

Die kleine Teestube in den Dünen
Die kleine Teestube in den Dünen ist Jettes Herzensprojekt. Doch als ihr Freund sie Hals über Kopf verlässt, sitzt sie nicht nur ohne Koch da. Alleine wird es immer schwerer, sich um die Gäste in ihrem wunderschönen Reetdachhaus auf Sylt zu kümmern. Dass ihr der Nachbar mit seinem Drängen, an ihn zu verkaufen, um dort ein Wellness-Resort zu errichten, auf die Nerven geht, macht ihr zusätzlich zu schaffen. Wie ein Lichtblick erscheint ihr da der smarte Kai. Aus einer zufälligen Begegnung am Strand, bei der ein Bumerang eine wichtige Rolle spielt, wird schnell mehr. Doch plötzlich findet Jette heraus, dass Kai ausgerechnet einer der Anwälte ist, die ihr Nachbar auf sie angesetzt hat. Fassungslos bricht sie jeden Kontakt zu ihm ab, denn einen weiteren Verrat in ihrem Leben will sie nicht ertragen. Als ihr Jugendfreund Erik vor ihrer Tür steht, bietet er ihr Trost. Doch kann sie überhaupt wieder einem Mann vertrauen?
