As he navigates through the blood-soaked fields of America''s defining conflict, Nathaniel''s courage is tested in the fiery crucible of history''s most brutal trials, leading him to the precipice of adulthood and the harrowing realities of survival. This is a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the arduous road to finding one''s place in a world on the brink of change.

Ciudad Real, in Messico, è l’inferno delle maquiladoras, gli stabilimenti di proprietà straniera dove la forza lavoro viene impiegata sottocosto in condizioni di sfruttamento prossime alla schiavitù. Ai margini di questa città operaia, sorta lungo la frontiera con gli Stati Uniti, ogni anno vengono uccise centinaia di donne. Omicidi brutali, inspiegabili. La polizia indaga, o finge di indagare. Ma nessuno vuole che la verità venga fuori davvero. Fuentes è un poliziotto diverso dagli altri. Duro, ostinato, si è messo in testa un’idea rischiosa: mettere fine all’interminabile massacro delle ragazze che arrivano in questa terra di confine inospitale e violenta da tutto il Messico, disposte a lavorare per pochi dollari al giorno vivendo sul filo sottilissimo di un sogno. Mentre la polizia corrotta e senza scrupoli chiude sbrigativamente le indagini una dopo l’altra, Fuentes va avanti senza ripensamenti. Ha più di un motivo per sospettare che molti suoi colleghi siano sul libro paga di El Santo, il più sanguinario tra i signori del narcotraffico. Eppure non tutti all’inferno sono in vendita. Fuentes condivide il rischio della sua impresa con Pilar, un’attivista sindacale giovane ed esuberante, impegnata, con l’aiuto di un piccolo gruppo di compagni, a organizzare nelle fabbriche azioni contro lo sfruttamento delle operaie. Nonostante l’avversione di Pilar nei confronti della polizia messicana, i due indagano insieme sotto traccia. Sullo sfondo della guerra tra i narcos, Città senza stelle racconta con rara maestria un intreccio di storie crude e ci consegna un memorabile personaggio investigatore. E rivela anche, come è stato autorevolmente osservato da Angus Cargill, editore del Premio Nobel per la letteratura Kazuo Ishiguro, “una delle voci più entusiasmanti della scena internazionale del thriller”.

Too many Christians don''t know what''s in their Bible. It''s sad but true...too many Christians say that the Bible is God''s Word and is essential to their faith, but they don''t pick it up and read it, or know everything in it. This series of books will hope to change all that. The purpose of Devote the Bible is to get people to not only read their Bibles, but to go a little deeper in their understanding of it. In essence, the goal is to get Christians to use these devotions to devote themselves to knowing and understanding the Book they claim to believe every word of. If you''re ready to devote yourself to the study of God''s Word ...pick this book up!

The Rip Curl Story is the remarkable tale of two young surfers who pursued an audacious dream to make a living in pursuit of the ultimate ride. The brand they built, Rip Curl, not only satisfied their own surf- and wanderlust, but also inspired countless others, both fuelling and riding the wave of the global youth revolution of the late ''60s. Rip Curl''s mantra became ''the Search'' - the chasing of new waves on distant shores - as they embraced new thrills such as skiing, snowboarding, windsurfing and aimed always to make better equipment to elevate the experience. Along the way, they supported the careers of many of the world''s great surfers: from Midget Farrelly and Nat Young to Michael Peterson, Tom Curren to Damien Hardman, Pam Burridge to Stephanie Gilmore, and of course Tyler Wright and the legendary Mick Fanning. From the late-''60s era of peace, drugs and country soul to the birth of professionalism in the ''70s; from the decadence and excess of the ''80s to the new nomadic free-surfing trail of the ''90s, and the bold new frontiers of surfing in the 2000s - wave pools, webcasts, Olympic acceptance - The Rip Curl Story explores both the evolution of a world-leading surf brand and an entire social revolution. Bestselling surf writer Tim Baker tells this implausible story in an irresistible series of ripping yarns, offering rich life lessons, a maverick business primer and a wild ride of adventure, good times and outlandish ambitions spectacularly realised. The Rip Curl Story will make you want to surf more, travel further, follow through on that great business idea and pursue your own Search.
