The Winds of Winter ~ Preview Collection

Le dénouement est proche. Car il ne reste que deux prétendants au trône des Sept Couronnes : Joffrey, le héraut du clan des Lannister, retranché à Port-Réal, et Stannis Baratheon, qui a masse ses navires aux abords de la capitale en vue de l'assaut final. Celui qui s'en rendra maître deviendra le véritable souverain du royaume. Il revient à Tyrion Lannister, le " Lutin " Haï de tous - aussi bien de ses ennemis que de ses allies - de préparer activement la défense de l'invincible forteresse. Pour cela, il a élabore un plan machiavélique afin de défaire le seigneur de Peyredragon et ses troupes. Un plan que seul son cerveau démoniaque et sa volonté de fer peuvent mettre en œuvre...

Le Trone de Fer T5 - L'Invincible Forter

Plongé dans le chaos, le royaume des Sept couronnes est en proie à une formidable pandémie de violence, les héritiers du souverain défunt se disputent le trône dans d'âpres et sanglants combats. Et les puissants seigneurs, ralliés aux diverses causes, négligent tout égard pour le peuple, qui supporte souffrances et famine. Les ennemis jurés Catelyn et Tyrion fourbissent chacun leurs armes, Catelyn Stark rejoint Renly Baratheon, à la tête des forces de Hautjardin et accalmie, tandis que Tyrion Lannister durdit de nouvelles alliances et prépare Port-Réal à repousser le futur siège, mais un nouveau péril se profile : une ombre qui plane, frappe les rois et renverse les citadelles...

L'ombre maléfique

Le jeune et inconséquent roi Joffrey semble bien installé sur le trône de fer. L'usurpateur Baratheon est mort, l'armée de son frère Stannis a été défaite devant Port-Réal et le souverain Robb se retrouve dépossédé de ses propres terres. Joffrey n'a pourtant participé à aucune bataille. Il doit ces succès au courage de son oncle Tyrion et à la ruse de son grand-père Tywin. C'est un roi velléitaire, lâche et cruel qui s'apprête donc à régner sur les Sept Couronnes. Toutes les forces en présence n'ont cependant pas dit leur dernier mot. Là où les épées n'ont pu l'emporter, la puissance de la magie réussira-t-elle ?

Intrigues à Port-Réal

Jean Sola

Les cartes changent une nouvelle fois de main : Cersei Lannister, la noire régente, s'empêtre dans la toile d'araignée qu'elle a tissée pour neutraliser sa bru, la petite reine ; arrivée au terme de son éprouvante quête, Lady Brienne, la pucelle de Torth, va faire une découverte aussi inattendue que mortelle ; Sansa Stark, marionnette entre les mains de Lord Petyr Baelish, dit Littlefingers, prépare un retour en force qui devrait faire couler beaucoup d'encre... et de sang ! Un chapitre de plus se clôt sur le royaume des Sept Couronnes, avec son lot d'alliances contre nature, de trahisons sanglantes et de morts inutiles. Et comme le trône de fer ne reste jamais vacant bien longtemps, une nouvelle guerre civile se profile à l'horizon.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7 Asking, seeking, and knocking are three imperatives Jesus gave his disciples, and us, in order to grow fully in our Faith and be true disciples of Jesus. Scripture reading and study is an important part of that path to discipleship, and offers us opportunities... to ask - for clarity to seek - the truths of the Bible to knock - asking Christ to come into our hearts. George Martin, prolific writer on Scripture and author of Bringing the Gospel of Luke to Life, and Bringing the Gospel of Mark to Life now brings Matthew's Gospel into sharp focus in a verse-by-verse commentary. Martin gives readers the context of the first-century meaning, and what it means to us today. Reflection questions help us to apply the biblical texts to our own lives. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the Gospel of Matthew - as well as priests, deacons, catechetical leaders, Bible study leaders, Scripture teachers or seminarians. Let George Martin bring the Gospel of Matthew to Life for you today.

Handbook of the Biology of Aging, Eighth Edition, provides readers with an update on the rapid progress in the research of aging. It is a comprehensive synthesis and review of the latest and most important advances and themes in modern biogerontology, and focuses on the trend of ‘big data’ approaches in the biological sciences, presenting new strategies to analyze, interpret, and understand the enormous amounts of information being generated through DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, proteomic, and the metabolomics methodologies applied to aging related problems. The book includes discussions on longevity pathways and interventions that modulate aging, innovative new tools that facilitate systems-level approaches to aging research, the mTOR pathway and its importance in age-related phenotypes, new strategies to pharmacologically modulate the mTOR pathway to delay aging, the importance of sirtuins and the hypoxic response in aging, and how various pathways interact within the context of aging as a complex genetic trait, amongst others. Covers the key areas in biological gerontology research in one volume, with an 80% update from the previous edition Edited by Matt Kaeberlein and George Martin, highly respected voices and researchers within the biology of aging discipline Assists basic researchers in keeping abreast of research and clinical findings outside their subdiscipline Presents information that will help medical, behavioral, and social gerontologists in understanding what basic scientists and clinicians are discovering New chapters on genetics, evolutionary biology, bone aging, and epigenetic control Provides a close examination of the diverse research being conducted today in the study of the biology of aging, detailing recent breakthroughs and potential new directions

Handbook of the Biology of Aging

You will never see war the same way after reading this extraordinary retelling of an ancient Greek fable about a tragically unnecessary battle between mice and frogs. With haunting illustrations, this miniature masterpiece ranks with Animal Farm as one of the greatest parables of human foibles. Originally published in 1962, The Battle of the Frogs and the Mice tells in words and pictures a classic tale of the foolhardiness of war. When Crum-snatcher, a Mouse, cautiously mounts the back of Puff-jaw, King of the Frogs, to explore the Frogs’ pond, the Mouse meets with a disaster which soon brings the two nations into mortal conflict. The course of this tempest in a teapot is developed with wit to assume heroic proportions, and the battle of this small world becomes the story of wars through the ages. George Martin has made an imaginative, free adaptation of a fable originally ascribed to Homer, but now believed to have been written about three hundred years after him by an unknown author. The book’s events are brilliantly depicted by the drawings of Fred Gwynne, a versatile artist known for his role as Herman Munster in the sit-com hit The Munsters. Gwynne’s haunting and unsparingly illustrations portray this chronicle from its pastoral beginning to its bitter end. Together, Martin and Gwynne have made a book of grim delight for adults and young readers alike.
