Bystyret beslutter sig for at forsøge at rydde op i kriminaliteten og korruptionen i håb om at kunne genvinde magten ved det kommende valg, og det lykkes dem at finde en retskaffen mand til jobbet.

Rico har altid haft ambitioner om at komme til tops i den kriminelle underverden. Han starter sin forbryderkarriere i en lille by i Midtvesten i USA, og lidt for lidt lykkes det ham at kæmpe sig op til en af de mest magtfulde positioner i mafiaen. Hvad Rico næppe havde regnet med, er, hvor svært det er at beholde sin position, når først man har opnået den. "Lilla Cæsar" er W.R. Burnetts debutroman, og med den slog han sit navn fast som gangsterromanens fader.

These principles of war were formulated by Carl von Clausewitz, an officer in the Napoleonic Wars. They quickly became a paradigm for developing strategy and tactics by virtually every military in the world and remain so to this day. In this study, one of our premier warriors and a founding member of the US Army Delta Force, LTG (R) W.G. "Jerry" Boykin, addresses the military application of these principles. I then elaborate on how each can be applied to virtually any other endeavor such as business, sports, missions, or even government programs.

What is a maiden to do when her prince is not a prince, her hair won’t stop growing, and someone has cursed her to sleep for 300 years? In Polyhymnia’s case, it seems expedient to get up with the help of a kiss or two, trailing her hair behind her, and find out who did it.

At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action. By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous situations.
