Sinopse

From the million-copy bestselling author, perfect forfans of Stieg Larsson, Anne Holt, and The Killing."Michael Ridpath is on the war path, trouncing the Scandinavians on their home turf. This is international thriller writing at its best, fine characters, page turning suspense and a great, fresh location." PETER JAMESWhen a polar bear is sighted in a sleepy Icelandic fishing village, then shot dead by local policeman Constable Halldór, it triggers a debate in the local community. Was Halldór a hero for killing the bear, or should the animal have been protected? Animal rights activists in the area see the constable as a villain, and when days later the dead body of Halldór is discovered at a remote beauty spot, the activists are immediately under suspicion. As Sergeant Magnus Ragnarsson and his colleague Detective Vigdís Audardótti begin to investigate the policeman's murder, they soon discover that things are not as clear-cut as might first appear. By degrees, Magnus and Vigdís are drawn into this small and complex community - one riven with rivalries and grudges - in search of a deadly killer...

    Disclaimer: This book is not the official, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    Unveil the dark corridors of history as you explore the meticulously researched summary of William L. Shirer's landmark work, 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.' Understand how a nation succumbed to the magnetism of a maniac, how the dream of prosperity turned into a nightmare of warfare and genocide. 
    Our condensed version of Shirer's monumental narrative captures the grim realities of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the ensuing terror of Nazi rule, and the cataclysmic downfall of a regime that almost consumed the world. Shirer's book serves as both a cautionary tale and a record of one of the darkest chapters in human history. 
    Decades of careful journalism and first-hand experience have been distilled into a summary that retains the gravity of its source material while being accessible to a modern audience. Here, the complexities of political maneuvering, military strategy, and social dynamics are brought to light in a compelling read that's both informative and chilling. 
    Discover how an empire built on cruelty and deceit crumbled under its own weight, leaving behind lessons that are as relevant today as they were over half a century ago. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the mechanics of tyranny and the variables that allow it to flourish.

    "This book has been written to help us take an honest look at who we really are. It is here to help us dig deep. It is here to heal the nation. I'm no psychotherapist, but I get it." Benjamin Zephaniah
    Is it possible not to be confused about race? Is it possible to respond authentically to the hurt and discomfort of racism? The construct of race is an integral part of Western society's DNA and if we are to address the social injustice of racism, we need to have the race conversation. Yet all too often, attempts at such a dialogue are met with silence, denial, anger or hate. The Race Conversation explores how the damage and distress caused by racism lives not just in our minds, but principally in the body. As well as helping us to develop a cognitive understanding by exploring the history and development of the race construct, the book focuses specifically on the non-verbal communication of race, both as a means of social control and as an essential part of navigating oppressive patterns. This guide supports black, white and mixed heritage people to emerge from the tight grip of race discomfort to a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasises resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness and healing.
