Inside you'll find:    • An in-depth look at the basics of firearms and knives: how they work, why they work, what they look like, and how to depict them accurately in your stories.    • The biggest weapons myths in fiction, TV, and film.    • A surefire guide for choosing the correct weapon for your characters, no matter their skill level, strength, or background.    • A review of major gun and knife laws, weapons safety tips,and common police tactics.    • "The Hit List," showcasing the most popular weapons for spies, detectives, gunslingers, gangsters, military characters, and more.    • Examples highlighting inaccurate vs. accurate weapons depictions.    • An insightful foreword by David Morrell, the award-winning creator of Rambo.

Excerpt from the tale: Basil, Rosemary and the Pansy sisters lived together in a bright orange flowerpot. The pot sat on a windowsill outside the zoo's cafe. Basilikum, Rosmarin und die Stiefmütterchen Schwestern lebten in einem hellen, orangefarbenen Blumentopf. Der Topf stand draußen auf einem Fenstersims vom Zoo Café. In front of the plants was a black road painted with white stripes. Visitors who came to the zoo walked over the white stripes when they crossed the road. Vor den Pflanzen war eine schwarze Straße, auf der weiße Streifen gemalt waren. Besucher, die zum Zoo kamen, gingen über diese weißen Streifen, wenn sie die Straße überquerten.

Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and Past-Life Therapy by Brian L. Weiss | Book Summary | Abbey Beathan (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) The story about how a skeptical doctor discovered evidence on past lives and developed a method using them to cure his patients. There are many stories about how a skeptic turns into a believer but this one stands out. A skeptical doctor was astonished when he discovered one of his patients recalling past-life traumas. Those wounds from the past seem to be responsible of his recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. Doctor Weiss manages to channel his new knowledge and develop a method called "past life regression" which recovers memories of incarnations in order to address them and cure the patient of his traumas. (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) "For truly we are all angels temporarily hiding as humans." – Brian L. Weiss After discovering about past lives, Brian L. Weiss entered a new phase in his career; one that would use memories from the past lives of patients in order to heal them. His method of hypnosis worked so he started heading in a new path in order to help each one of his patients. His work in parapsychology is outstanding and his method of past life regressions is brilliant. Definitely a book worth reading. A skeptic doctor discovered evidence that baffled him and change his mind about reincarnation. P.S. Many Lives, Many Masters is an amazing book that shows us a new approach on psychological treatment. P.P.S. It was Albert Einstein who famously said that once you stop learning, you start dying.

12e édition mise à jour. Définir, après les avoir identifiés, les termes juridiques de la langue française, tel est l’objet de ce Vocabulaire juridique . S’appuyant sur un premier travail réalisé par Henri Capitant en 1936, Gérard Cornu a développé « une œuvre nouvelle par ses entrées, sa méthode, ses auteurs... L’éminente vocation du Vocabulaire juridique est de saisir, dans les définitions, les catégories du droit. » Plus qu’une série de définitions de termes et d’expressions, ce Vocabulaire est un outil de consultation et de recherche indispensable aux juristes, mais aussi un instrument de culture générale nécessaire à la compréhension de notre société, dans laquelle le rôle du droit ne cesse de croître. Depuis sa première édition en 1987, son succès ne s’est jamais démenti. Il s’explique non seulement par la pertinence des définitions, mais aussi par les mises à jour régulières, car le droit est une discipline vivante. Une liste explicative des maximes et adages de droit français, dont certains en latin, complète l’ouvrage.
