<b>Les enquêteurs, au sommet du Mont-Saint-Michel, contemplent son histoire.</b> <br> <br>Un moine de la congrégation de Jérusalem est retrouvé mort dans le clocher de l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel, une lance plantée dans le crâne. <br>Il se murmure sur le Mont que le Diable serait de retour et rôderait la nuit au cœur des ruelles anciennes et dans la baie pour punir les pécheurs. <br>Velcro, Déborah et le commissaire Delcourt débarquent donc sur la Merveille de l’Occident afin de mener l’enquête et vont devoir se plonger dans les méandres de son histoire, dans ses légendes ancestrales, dans le quotidien de ses habitants aussi… <br>L’équipe de la PJ rennaise parviendra-t-elle à garder pied dans le monde des vivants et à percer les mystères de ce lieu emblématique et envoûtant ? <br> <br> <b>Les saints les guideront-ils vers la vérité ? </b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br> La nuit venait de tomber. Le Mont-Saint-Michel se dressait devant moi telle une profiterole flottant au-dessus de sa mer de chocolat noir. Les lumières de la petite cité jouaient avec l’étendue sombre et immobile du sable. Comme des feux follets égarés, elles crapahutaient au hasard et semblaient parsemer le dessert sucré de pépites d’or. Régal des sens. Féerie du décor. Désorientation absolue. Le site était sublime et solitaire. À cette heure avancée, les touristes étaient partis. Nous étions là, tous les trois, ébahis par ce monde parallèle. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE <br> <br>Née dans le Val de Marne, <b>Valérie Lys</b>, est médecin biologiste et vit dans les environs de Rennes depuis une vingtaine d’années.

Like the four previous volumes, this book continues the publication of the best texts from the Young Talent Austrian Development Research Award. In 2023, the theme of the prize was Energy Transition and the Global South. It also includes contributions of the winners of the main prize: a reflection on Austria's colonial history, and a theoretical treatise on the concept of climate colonialism that characterizes climate crisis as a global crisis of distribution and justice. As different as the contributions presented here may be, they are all linked by a central theme: Whether Ugandan climate activists, palm oil farmers in Indonesia, opponents of lithium mining in Argentina, Indian women workers in enormous heat, or villagers in Uganda who benefit from simple emissionreducing solar technology, climate change and the resulting energy transition always have – in addition to technological and economic aspects – a central social dimension that must be negotiated sociopolitically and which must also be critically accompanied by social science. Development research also makes an important contribution to these diverse transformation processes – not least as a peace project.

"Heles dado nombre de ejemplares, y si bien lo miras, no hay ninguna de quien no se pueda sacar algún ejemplo provechoso." Miguel de Cervantes, prólogo a Las Novelas Ejemplares El coloquio de los perros es una de las Novelas ejemplares de Cervantes y escenifica la conversación entre Cipión y Berganza, que guardan el Hospital de la Resurrección de Valladolid, en cuyo solar se encuentra hoy la Casa Mantilla. Al comprobar que han adquirido la facultad de hablar, Berganza decide contar a Cipión, durante una noche, sus experiencias con sus distintos amos, recorriendo lugares como Sevilla, Montilla y Granada hasta llegar a Valladolid, tomando el relato la forma de novela picaresca, pero con elementos modernizadores del género.

A rare breed in America, the German Spitz is one of Europe's most beloved companion breeds whose popularity in the States has been eclipsed by three spinoffs—the Pomeranian, Keeshond, and American Eskimo Dog. Like those three smiling descendants, the German Spitz is a happy-go-lucky, lighthearted companion, ranging in size from Toy (7 inches) to Giant (18 inches), and occurring in all colors and patterns. Owners prize the breed for its fun personality, keen intelligence, and hardy constitution. The opening chapter of this Comprehensive Owner's Guide is dedicated to the history of this breed, tracing its origins from the Peat Dogs of the Stone Age to its rise to favor in Victorian England to its spread throughout Europe and modern-day England. The chapter on the breed's characteristics paints a portrait of this affable, attractive dog, ideal for a family with children, that requires very little of its owners other than grooming, exercise, and lots of love. This full-color edition, written by British dog expert Juliette Cunliffe, is the only book currently available on this terrific companion breed. New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy. Chapters on puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are illustrated with photographs of handsome adults and puppies. In all, there are over 135 full-color photographs in this useful and reliable volume. The author's advice on obedience training will help the reader better mold and train into the most well-mannered dog in the neighborhood. The extensive and lavishly illustrated chapter on healthcare provides up-to-date detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites, infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as historical dogs, breeders, or kennels, toxic plants, first aid, crate training, carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully indexed.
