Piętnastoletni Marco przez lata był tłamszony przez swego stryja Zolę, głowę klanu zmuszającego chłopaka do niewolniczego, przestępczego życia. Gdy Marco dowiaduje się, że stryj chce go okaleczyć, by zwiększyć jego możliwości zarobkowe, dokonuje niemożliwego – wyrywa się z żelaznego uścisku krewnych.

What is a fallacy? Many people may have heard the word before but don’t grasp the magnitude of it. They erroneously assume that they aren’t guilty of embracing half-truths or false conclusions. And yet, those are often the ones who do it the most. In this guide, you will receive greater comprehension of what fallacies are and close your blind spot to the truth of things. Later, the author goes on to instruct you on inductive and deductive reasoning, which are two techniques that help people reach logical conclusions without going astray in their paths of thinking. Last but not least, a long chapter is devoted to developing moral character, our conscience, and our ethics. Everything can be justified, but to live with our conscience is an art by itself.
Den femtonårige Marco har under hela sin uppväxt tvingats till kriminalitet av sin farbror Zola. När han förstår att farbrodern vill lemlästa honom, för att han ska kunna dra in mer pengar och för att Zola ska kunna kontrollera honom bättre, så gör Marco det omöjliga: han flyr och försöker ta sig ur klanens järngrepp. Men under flykten finner han av en slump en fruktansvärd hemlighet, som Zola och klanen med alla medel vill förhindra från att komma ut. Marcos nya tillvaro i Köpenhamn blir snart en kamp för livet. Och det är inte bara klanen som vill se honom död. Kriminalinspektör Carl Mørck och hans assistenter Assad och Rose från Avdelning Q följer trådar som leder dem till bankvärlden, in i regeringen och ända till Afrikas djungler. Jussi Adler-Olsen är en av Europas mest framgångsrika thrillerförfattare. Marcoeffekten är den femte delen i serien om Carl Mørck och Avdelning Q inom Köpenhamnspolisen.

A 15 éves Marco semmi egyébre nem vágyik, csak hogy iskolába járhasson, és meg tudjon állni a saját lábán. Gyűlöli életét a klánban, amelyet a nagybátyja irányít erős kézzel, s ahol arra kényszerítik a gyerekeket, hogy kolduljanak, betörjenek. Egy nap nem bírja tovább, és megszökik. Menekülés közben rábukkan nagybátyja egy feltételezett áldozatának holttestére, s ezzel az események egész láncolatát indítja el. Hamarosan tapasztalnia kell, hogy már nem csak a saját klánjának tagjai akarják elkapni. A Q-ügyosztályt vezető Carl Marcknek és új taggal bővült csapatának nagy szüksége lenne Marco információira, mivel kiderül, hogy egy általuk keresett személyé a holttest, amit a fiú talált. Marco azonban nagyon tart a rendőrségtől..

In the mid-nineteenth century, decades after independence in Latin America, borderlands presented existential challenges to consolidating nation-states. In Place of Mobility examines how and why these spaces became challenging to governments and what their meaningfulness is for our understanding of the development of a global world by examining one of those spaces: the Trans-Andean, an Argentine-Chilean borderland connected by the Andes mountains and centered on the Argentine region of Cuyo. It answers these questions by interweaving three narratives: Chilean migration to western Argentina; mountain-crossing Argentine rebels; and the formation of plans for railroads to cross the mountains. O...
