Book excerpt: Marine explorer Dirk Pitt must rely on the nautical lore of Jules Verne to stop a ruthless oil baron with his sights set on political power in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series. In the middle of its maiden voyage, a luxury cruise ship using revolutionary new engines suddenly catches fire and sinks. Its alarms stay silent; its sprinkler system remains inactive. Nearby NUMA special projects director Dirk Pitt notices smoke and races to the rescue. He's too late to save the engineer behind the ship's new technology, but helps the man's daughter, Kelly Egan, escape with her father's work in a leather briefcase. While Ms. Egan strives to uncover the hidden value in her father's inventions, Pitt is hired on by maritime insurers to investigate the wreckage. Neither are prepared for the mechanical marvels they'll soon be forced to confront. The machines could only be the stuff of legend, described in the tales of Viking explorers or the accounts of Jules Verne. And they may be Pitt and Egan's only hope when an oil tycoon with a plan of his own appears on the scene. Before journey's end, Pitt will take on a power-mad millionaire, tread upon territory previously known only to Verne's illustrious Captain Nemo, and make shocking discoveries about his own past.

Book excerpt: Over the centuries, humans have conjured images--the stuff of dreams, convictions, and ardent desire--to describe our afterlife. The vision of heaven can appear as simple as a place among the stars or as complex as a universe filled with a multitude of busy souls. Positioned at the intersection of art, religion, and culture, this book sheds new light on human creativity in its portrayal of the afterlife. Beginning with prehistoric burial objects that help with one's heavenly needs, it travels through history to probe ancient texts, examines enigmatic carvings, dissects the meaning of paintings, and discusses contemporary perspectives in film and media. The author demonstrates that humans around the world have always had the capacity to confront the "final frontier" in spirited, hopeful, and beautiful ways.

Book excerpt: En un peu plus de vingt ans de carrière, BATHORY a acquis le statut de légende et a donné ses lettres de noblesse au metal extrême, dont il est un pionnier et une référence incontournable. Depuis ses débuts en 1983 jusqu’au décès de son leader charismatique Quorthon en 2004, le mystérieux combo suédois a en effet laissé une empreinte indélébile dans la scène underground, posant les bases du Black Metal moderne avant de s’imposer comme le fer de lance du Viking Metal épique, ce qui constitue un véritable tour de force lorsqu’on connaît les incessants changements de line-up qui l’ont privé très tôt d’activité scénique et les contraintes matérielles auxquelles il a dû faire face tout au long de son incroyable carrière. Contre vents et marées, le groupe et son maître à penser ont composé d’innombrables morceaux devenus des hymnes et publié quantité d’albums qui sont considérés comme autant de classiques, n’hésitant pas à innover sans cesse et à explorer avec succès des styles musicaux très différents sans jamais faire de compromis ni renoncer à son intégrité ou trahir ses hordes de fans. Découvrez ici, à travers de nombreux extraits d’interviews et une analyse détaillée de sa riche discographie, l’histoire de BATHORY, groupe mythique qui a changé la face du metal extrême.
