C. N. Phillips returns with the next tale in the saga of five crime families that run the streets of New York’s five boroughs. The uneasy alliance they once shared has been compromised, and now no one is truly safe from retribution. Caesar knew the peace he started had an expiration date, but he never thought the end would be so explosive. With the Pact completely dissolved and the Chinese angered beyond measure at the loss of their leader, they want Boogie’s head bloody and served on a stick. Caesar is willing to protect him at all costs.

But when his teenaged niece shows up on his doorstep looking for a permanent home, his plan comes to a screeching halt.

Croire en soi, s'aimer soi-même, avoir confiance en soi, autant de facettes d'une des dimensions fondamentales de notre personnalité : l'estime de soi. Avoir des difficultés à communiquer, se sentir mal dans sa peau : bien des tracas quotidiens s'expliquent par une mauvaise estime de soi. Pour autant, rien n'est irrémédiable. Comment se construit l'estime de soi et comment se développe-t-elle ? Quels sont les grands problèmes ? Comment évaluer son estime de soi ? Et, surtout, que faire ?

Whoever murdered Barry is now aiming for Caesar's crown, and the only way to flush them out and figure out who's responsible is to go to war...with everybody. 

On savait que le cerveau était l'entité la plus complexe de l'univers connu. Mais les nouvelles découvertes démontrent que ses possibilités sont bien plus étonnantes qu'on ne le croyait. Non seulement il est totalement élastique - même âgé, handicapé, voire amputé, il peut se reconstruire, apprendre, inventer -, mais aussi totalement social - un cerveau n'existe qu'en résonance avec d'autres : nous sommes neuronalement constitués pour entrer en empathie.

Étudiant désargenté, Eugène de Rastignac est monté à Paris pour y faire son droit et y acquérir gloire et pouvoir. Il loge dans une pension miteuse et rencontre le père Goriot. Ancien négociant, il s'est ruiné pour ses filles qui, après leur mariage, ne lui témoignent qu'indifférence et mépris. Rastignac est alors confronté aux calculs sordides et à la noirceur du coeur humain. Il tire de cette expérience un sentiment de fatalité mais aussi une formidable volonté de conquête.

La période 2020 - 2050 sera la plus bouleversante qu'aura jamais vécu l'humanité en si peu de temps. L'effondrement de notre civilisation industrielle s'y produira à l'échelle mondiale, probablement dans les années 2020, certainement dans les années 2030. L'ouvrage examine les origines écologiques, économiques, financières et politiques de cet effondrement et, surtout, leurs relations systémiques.

Florina mag kein Obst und Gemüse! Weil Obst und Gemüse sich schon immer von ihr unbeachtet fühlen, suchen sie Florina in einer Nacht heimlich auf und suchen das Gespräch mit ihr. Obst und Gemüse erzählen Florina aufgeregt, wie gesund aber auch wie sehr schmackhaft sie alle sind. In einem großen Durcheinander versuchen sie, Florina die Gründe dafür zu erklären, weil sie den großen Wunsch haben, sich vor den eingebildeten Süßigkeiten und dem Weißbrot behaupten zu können, denn nicht von Florina beachtet zu werden, macht das Obst und Gemüse immer trauriger.
