By 1016, Justin is the Treasurer of the Roman Empire whose capital is Constantinople and which later ages will call Byzantium, while Sophie is the chief lady-in-waiting to Princess Zoe, the oldest daughter of one of the two reigning emperors. A series of murders of Varangians, the emperors’ most trusted soldiers from the far north of Europe, combined with a mysterious illness of one of the emperors put the couple to their greatest test yet! Can they actually defeat the Norse goddess of death, who appears before each murder? Is their old foe, the Fatimid Caliph of Egypt, behind all of the mayhem?

Download or read book Hoopoe s Song written by Marianne Loeble and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oran, a Belgian painter, spends a weekend in London and meets Shani, a woman from the Negev Desert, near Beersheba. Almost a year later, Oran sets off to her agricultural community in Israel. The huge farm is similar to the ancient settlements. There he meets Hagar, Shani's sister, who has both Jewish and Egyptian roots and yearns for peace. The community is a stone's throw from the Gaza strip. Times are hard in the first decade of the 21st century. Oran turns out to be a member of an international secret association, and Hagar will try, in vain, to prevent him from going to Gaza to look for his Jewish roots. From cosmopolitan Brussels to the arid Negev Desert and from convivial Haifa to bustling Tel-Aviv, Hoopoe's Song is the gripping story about the right to happiness for all and a critical analysis of the manipulative tricks used by some international organizations.

Download or read book Processionary Moths and Climate Change An Update written by Alain Roques and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of its peculiar biology, its negative impacts on forestry, and its urticating larvae affecting human and animal health, pine processionary moth has largely been studied in many European countries during the last century. However, knowledge remained scattered and no synthesis has ever been published. Since the IPCC retained the moth as one of the two insect indicators of climate change because of its expansion with warming up, filling this gap became increasingly important. Led by INRA, this book associates 101 authors from 22 countries of Europe, Minor Asia and North Africa, combining all the concerned research fields (entomology, ecology, genetics, mathematical modelling, medical and veterinary science, pest management) in a multidisciplinary approach to understand and model the processes underlying past, present and future moth expansion and to propose adapted management methods. Besides, the major biological patterns of the related processionary species are also detailed.
