Most Popular Books by Richard Price

Richard Price (1723-1791) was an eminent Welsh philosopher and Dissenting Minister. His political pamphlets won him considerable fame in the eighteenth century as a supporter of the American rebels in their struggle for independence, and for the enthusiasm with which he greeted the opening events of the French Revolution. It was this enthusiasm that provoked Edmund Burke into writing "Reflections on the Revolution of France." Price is noteworthy as a defender of freedom of thought (especially on religious matters), as a proponent of parliamentary reform, and as an advocate of a minimalist conception of government. He espoused the doctrine of natural rights and the principle of self-government. This book is a collection of Price's most important pamphlets of the period 1759-1789, and is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction putting Price's work in context, complete bibliographical material, a chronology, and bibliographic notes on persons mentioned in the texts.

The First Council of Ephesus (431) was the climax of the so-called Nestorian Controversy. Convoked by the emperor Theodosius II to restore peace to the Church, it immediately divided into two rival councils, both meeting at Ephesus. Attempts by the emperor's representatives to get the bishops on both sides to meet together had no success, and after four months the council was dissolved without having ever properly met. But a number of decrees by the larger of the two rival councils, in particular the condemnation of Nestorius of Constantinople, were subsequently accepted as the valid decrees of the 'ecumenical council of Ephesus'. The documentation, consisting of conciliar proceedings, letters and other documents, provides information not only about events in Ephesus itself, but also about lobbying and public demonstrations in Constantinople. There is no episode in late Roman history where we are so well informed about how politics were conducted in the imperial capital. This makes

Milieu des années 1990. Le jeune Billy Graves est flic au sein d'une brigade anticriminalité de l'un des pires districts du Bronx. Il fait partie d'un groupe de policiers prometteurs, les "Wild Geese", et une carrière brillante lui semble assurée. Jusqu'au jour où il tire accidentellement sur un gamin. L'affaire, fortement médiatisée, lui vaut d'être mis au placard quelque temps. Aujourd'hui, Billy est devenu chef d'une équipe de nuit du NYPD. Son quotidien : sillonner les rues de New York, de Wall Street à Harlem, pour en assurer la sécurité, même s'il sait que certains criminels passeront toujours au travers des mailles du filet. Ces derniers, il les surnomme les "whites", ceux qui s'en sortent blancs comme neige. Chaque policier en a un qui l'obsède. Puis vient un appel qui change tout : un meurtre a eu lieu à Penn Station. Et la victime n'est autre que le white d'un de ses anciens coéquipiers. Lorsqu'un autre white est assassiné, Billy commence à s'interroger : quelqu'un serait-il en train de régler ses comptes ? Et qui est cet homme qui, soudainement, paraît s'intéresser à sa femme et à ses enfants, au point de les suivre en filature ?
