Un groupe d’étudiants d’une prestigieuse école d’ingénieurs en séminaire d’intégration décide de se lancer dans l’ascension du volcan de la Soufrière en pleine nuit. Un défi semble-t-il habituel au cours de ces voyages au cours desquels ces jeunes gens brillants se forgent une identité commune. Pourtant, au petit matin, un des étudiants est retrouvé mort en contrebas de la trace du Pas-du-Roy. Tout semble indiquer un accident. Il revient au capitaine de gendarmerie Vincent Lemerrer, fraîchement nommé en Guadeloupe, d’enquêter sur cet événement tragique, avec l’aide de la brigadière-cheffe Emmanuelle Lutin. Bien entendu les choses se révèleront plus complexes que prévu, sur cette terre déjà marquée par l’histoire, à quelques kilomètres de l’endroit où Louis Delgrès et ses compagnons d’armes se firent sauter pour échapper aux troupes du sinistre Richepance, chargé par Napoléon de rétablir l’esclavage dont l’abolition avait été déclarée quelques années plus tôt par la Révolution française.

84 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h03min.
Targets are an important part of our work life, whether we are setting them or meeting them. There is a science to target setting. Unfortunately the behavioral impact of target setting on performance is underestimated. This can lead to serious consequences such as game playing, overcharging customers, or demotivating competent managers.This book will help you fill the gap in target setting for performance. The pivotal issue in target setting is that it is an art as well as a science. Perhaps more of an art, requiring a balance between the psychologies of the people taking initiatives, the science of estimating probabilities and aligning with strategies, coupled with the motivational effects of incentives.You will also be introduced to some of the important methods in target setting such as forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and probability analysis; all of which include practical examples to show how these techniques can be directly applied. In the end, you’ll learn how interrelated the various parts of organizational activities are and how they impact on each other, which is important since target setting must include an understanding of the organizational context (e.g., people, competitive environment, structure, strategy) as well as the impact of incentive compensation and information flows.

En passant chez Nelson nous projette à travers deux siècles d’histoire de la Sierra Leone, symbolisés par les trajectoires d’hommes et de femmes dont les vies se sont nouées autour de la péninsule de Freetown, et sur la plage de Lumley. Le Nelson’s bar en devient un jour la figure centrale, présence et repère moral, aussi une mémoire. À travers le personnage de Nelson résonnent un puissant éclairage géopolitique : comment les sociétés s’abîment, comment elles oublient leur promesse initiale. L’Histoire n’y est jamais décorative, plutôt celle qui demeure dans les corps et les consciences. En passant chez Nelson révèle une œuvre humaniste, sans manichéisme, qui interroge la part d’éthique que nous sommes prêts à défendre quand tout vacille. Seul roman français à évoquer cette partie d’Afrique pour y déceler son message universel, cette œuvre nous marque par la prégnance des personnages qui, eux-mêmes, deviennent une mémoire.France Inter : Cela vaut toutes les leçons de géopolitique, c'est humain, c'est vraiment à lire. Site auteur : www.laurentbonnet.eu Laurent LD Bonnet est navigateur-voyageur, romancier et nouvelliste. Il publie dès 1998 des nouvelles, puis un premier roman remarqué, en 2012, Salone (Prix Senghor). Il poursuit avec Dix secondes (2015) et le dernier Ulysse (2021), formant ainsi les trois premières oeuvres d'une Tétralogie de la quête. La revue Daïmon consacre son numéro 6 (Aux évadés, 2021), à ses textes et nouvelles. L’engagé, un dialogue avec Jack London, paraît en 2022. En passant chez Nelson est le nouveau titre du roman Salone, qui reparaît en 2025 dans une version révisée pour livrer pleinement la portée universelle du propos.

The intense action thriller from million copy bestseller Rob Sinclair, perfect for fans of Mark Dawson.Rule number one for an agent of the secretive JIA is to follow orders, no matter what.But James Ryker has never cared much for rules. He only wants to do what is right.Assigned to join a crew of elite security personnel in Chabon, Africa, Ryker’s mission objective is clouded by politics and obfuscation, and he knows only that to protect British interests in the region, he is to infiltrate the close protection team of the government of Chabon, a country with a dark and violent past. Arriving in Chabon’s crumbling capital, Kilpassa, Ryker finds a country on the brink of civil war. A growing civilian rebellion threatens peace, with claims of atrocities committed by both sides, including the frail government run by enigmatic President Benyu - a former military general who took control of the country in a violent coup. Drawn into Benyu’s inner circle, it soon becomes clear to Ryker that in Chabon, the lines between good and bad, and right and wrong, are nearly impossible to identify.With a crisis of epic proportions unfolding before his eyes, Ryker knows one thing for sure: with or without the backing of his superiors, he must take drastic action, and quickly, or risk putting millions of innocent lives in danger.Praise for Rob Sinclair:'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder'A real page-turner, impossible to put down' Publishers Weekly'A must-read for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum' Chelle’s Book Reviews'An adrenaline shot right to the heart' The Best Thriller Books'Action-packed, fast-paced, thrilling with many plot twists' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This book is a wonderful read and is one you won't want to put down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'To say the book is action-packed is an understatement - it is full of the stuff' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Lots of action and subterfuge and the characters play off each other' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Action-packed and incredibly thrilling' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'A real page-turner' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.‘ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series.

This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’. I loved it.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘The Red Cobra is one fast paced, action packed, thrill of a read. It is actually screaming out to be put on the big screen. Who needs Lara Croft when you have The Red Cobra? Without a doubt this is a fantastic start to a new series and I am literally counting the days down until the author quenches my thirst for more.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'This book is perfect for the fans of Robert Ludlum, Jim Grant and early James Patterson works.' – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Brilliantly crafted high-octane thriller with echoes of Robert Ludlum’s infamous Bourne novels!’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘I can highly recommend this brilliant book by the master of action, Rob Sinclair.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If the Bible is written by fallible human beings, how can its words convey divine revelation? Perhaps the greatest challenge of Warfield's lifetime was the modernist skepticism of biblical inspiration and authority. Warfield responded to modernist biblical critics by showing that intellect of the biblical authors not only remained fully operational and engaged, but that God also worked through human words and texts to convey divine revelation.

L'histoire de Marie, de 8 à 21 ans, raconte la vie des gens au milieu du 16e siècle, à Chaalons, aujourd'hui Châlons en Champagne, une petite ville comme tant d’autres, mais sur la route des marchands et des rois, exposée aux conflits car proche des frontières Nord et Est du royaume. Dans une période de grande effervescence intellectuelle avec la remise en cause du modèle catholique par les Réformés, la diffusion des idées libérées du filtre religieux par les humanistes et l’imprimerie. Mais aussi une époque troublée par les luttes de pouvoir et les guerres. En 1560, la violence entre catholiques et protestants n’a pas encore explosé mais elle couve, inquiétante. Marie grandit dans un monde où son avenir se résume à prendre le voile ou se marier. Elle questionne Sœur Mathilde qui dirige la Maison des enfants perdus, son maître d’apprentissage l’étrange Sieur Michel, Gwendoline la guérisseuse, et ses amis. Eux n’ont pas ce teint foncé qui lui attire tant d'ennuis. Pourra-t-elle compter sur eux aux heures sombres ?

Castres, 1903. Adélaïde Marti, modiste discrète et curieuse, reçoit une étrange invitation de sa tante Adèle : participer à une séance de spiritisme au Château de Malemort, une demeure oubliée où plane depuis des siècles l’ombre d’un suicide tragique… ou d’un meurtre. Entre prémonitions, visages du passé, et rites occultes, Adélaïde est bientôt entraînée dans une spirale d’événements macabres. Des cris résonnent la nuit. Les morts ne reposent pas en paix. Et l’un d’eux semble vouloir lui parler. Quand le mage Ambrosius meurt calciné dans une chambre fermée de l’intérieur, le doute n’est plus permis : quelqu’un tue, et le danger rôde derrière chaque porte. Entre enquête, possession et vérités enfouies, Adélaïde devra affronter la plus sinistre des maisons… et ses propres ténèbres.

Un rayon de débord est un livre qui arpente la frontière mouvante entre l’intime et le vaste, le silence et le trop-plein. On y entend la rumeur d’une parole qui refuse de se laisser enfermer, une voix qui creuse, patiemment, la question de ce qui déborde : le mot, l’âme, l’amour, le cri, tout ce qui en nous insiste à franchir les limites. À travers des fragments, des méditations, des poèmes en prose, le recueil interroge cette tension vitale : comment consentir à ce qui excède, comment accueillir l’intranquillité sans s’y perdre, comment devenir cette vasque que Bernard de Clairvaux appelait de ses vœux, non pour se vider aussitôt, mais pour donner par surabondance. De la figure du facteur Cheval ramassant sa pierre fondatrice à l’injonction mystique de « devenir passage », ces pages dessinent une géographie intérieure où l’on apprend à tenir l’inachevé comme une promesse, à veiller sur ce qui déborde comme sur une source secrète. Un rayon de débord est une invitation à ne pas consentir trop vite à la clôture, à cultiver cette part de nous qui, par son excès même, nous relie à plus grand que nous.

Nass hayatti signifie la moitié de ma vie en darija marocaine, une langue que j’ai entendue et côtoyée pendant quatre ans. Cette moitié de vie a été enrichie par des rencontres, parfois brèves et éphémères, comme notre court passage sur cette terre. Elles ont fait de moi ce que je suis et je veux leur rendre hommage à travers ce recueil de poésie. Chaque poème relate une expérience de vie, des moments à graver dans le marbre : des amours impossibles, des amours consommées, des amours consumées, des amours d’un soir, la perte d’un proche, l’arrivée d’un autre, tout type de rencontres, y compris avec moi-même dans des lieux qui nous révèlent. Ça donne des poèmes au style indéfini et évolutif avec pour point commun : les rimes. Ces poèmes, réceptacles de mes émotions, de mes vibrations, sont classés par ordre chronologique. À travers eux, je vous présente un récit de ma vie.
