Headache and Facial Pain (What Do I Do Now), 2nd Edition

Lawrence Newman, Morris Levin, Rashmi Halker, Rebecca Michael

In this new edition of Headache and Facial Pain in the "What Do I Do Now?" series, the authors have added cases dealing with issues that were not included in the first edition, eliminated several chapters that were no longer topical or in which recommendations were not current, and updated the rest. The book continues to simulate the "curbside consultation" in our selection of 37 cases about headache and facial pain. Each "case" poses an important question to be discussed and each are addressed, much as a consultant would do over the phone or in the hallway, using current evidence and experienced-based information. We have divided this volume into four sections that cover the typical ground for head/face pain consultation: Section 1, Diagnostic Questions; Section 2, Treatment Questions; Section 3, Questions Related to Special Populations; and Section 4 Prognostic, Social, and Legal Issues. Diagnostic reasoning is presented along the lines of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition (ICHD-III). Additionally, recommendations for adding or modifying new treatment modalities (pharmacologic and devices) that have been approved since publication of the first edition have been incorporated based on updates from the AHS consensus statement. A list of key clinical points again appears at the end of each case discussion, followed by a list of suggested articles or chapters for those interested in doing further reading on the subject.

Perspectives on International Relations

Perspectives on International Relations: Power, Institutions, and Ideas shows students new to the field how theories (perspectives) of international affairs—realism, liberalism, constructivism (identity), and critical theory—play a decisive role in explaining every-day debates about world affairs. Why, for example, do politicians and political scientists disagree about the causes of the ongoing conflict in Syria, even though they all have the same facts? Or, why do policymakers disagree about how to deal with North Korea when they are all equally well informed? The new Sixth Edition of this best-seller includes updates on Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump and other populist leaders, and continuing developments for ISIS, Syria, and Russia.

Barbecue: a Savor the South cookbook

John Shelton Reed's Barbecue celebrates a southern culinary tradition forged in coals and smoke. Since colonial times southerners have held barbecues to mark homecomings, reunions, and political campaigns; today barbecue signifies celebration as much as ever. In a lively and amusing style, Reed traces the history of southern barbecue from its roots in the sixteenth-century Caribbean, showing how this technique of cooking meat established itself in the coastal South and spread inland from there. He discusses how choices of meat, sauce, and cooking methods came to vary from one place to another, reflecting local environments, farming practices, and history. Reed hopes to preserve the South's barbecue traditions by providing the home cook with recipes for many classic varieties of barbecue and for the side dishes, breads, and desserts that usually go with it. Featured meats range from Pan-Southern Pork Shoulder to Barbecued Chicken Two Ways to West Texas Beef Ribs, while rubs and sauces include Memphis Pork Rub, Piedmont Dip, and Lone Star Sauce and Mop. Cornbread, hushpuppies, and slaw are featured side dishes, and Dori's Peach Cobbler and Pig-Pickin' Cake provide a sweet finish. This book will put southerners in touch with their heritage and let those who aren't southerners pretend that they are.

How Modern Media Destroys Our Minds: Calming The Chaos

A guide to navigating modern media and staying sane in a world that does not turn off. Navigating the onslaught of media is overwhelming, to say the least. We are so used to living in a media-saturated world that we are numb to the onslaught of news, images, and posts that batter us daily. As we scroll on our devices, many of us are anxious, sleep-deprived, disheartened, and afraid. In this reassuring guide, we learn to understand and combat what media does to our minds. It looks at the many peculiarities of modern media: its obsession with scandal, its emphasis on novelty, its capacity to fuel envy and self-hatred, its ever shorter attention span, its obsession with fame, and its proliferation across platforms and mediums. The goal of the book is to free readers from the media's tentacles in order to reach a calmer, more generous, and imaginative state of mind. Modern media is, too often, an illness; this is a cure. MEDIA AND MENTAL HEALTH considers the link between media and mental illness and looks at how we can reduce our media intake to relieve anxiety and stress. CRITICAL EYE helps us to think more critically about the media and the messages we are receiving through the news and online. USEFUL PESSIMISM and other chapters, including "This is not the whole world," "Think like a tragedian", and "Know who you are."

“Lauren Dane always delivers a steamy, exciting ride” (New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione), and she does it again in her new novel of two lovers fighting for their lives against a rising threat, and a passion that’s just as dangerous… In the wake of the Magister’s rampage, chaos rules. Left reeling, the Others and the humans scramble to create some sort of unity in the face of growing unrest and violence from anti-Other hate groups—and PR guru Molly Ryan is the witch who can do it. She grew up in the human world but there’s nothing left for her there. She’s lost her PR firm and her friends, and now she’s decided to put all her fight toward aiding the Others in this dark new reality. Gage Garrity, one of the few Others who survived the massacre, fears that the crusade will expose Molly to greater dangers than ever before. Now, together, with magick on their side, Molly and Gage are on the road in a desperate struggle to unite a torn world. From state houses to television news to legislative conference rooms across the country, they’re fighting the good fight.

Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living, Updated Edition

Is this really how I want to live my life?Each one of us at some point asks this question. The tragedy is not that life is short but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters.In this, her first book on life and living, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross joins with David Kessler to guide us through the practical and spiritual lessons we need to learn so that we can live life to its fullest in every moment. Many years of working with the dying have shown the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master, but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in fourteen accessible chapters, from the Lesson of Love to the Lesson of Happiness, the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and, above all, about the grandness of who we really are.

Vengeance Due

Vengeance Due Lauren Dane "Witches Knot 3" Simone Charvez admits she's high maintenance, but she's also more than the pretty piece of fluff everyone seems to take her for. When Kael Gardener walks into her shop-tattoos, piercings and bad boy attitude-she knows she's in for trouble. But it's the kind of trouble she can't help but want. For Kael, the news that not all vampires are like the monsters that slaughtered his entire family is nearly as hard to take as his all-encompassing attraction to a witch with a family that includes one. Simone fights to get Kael to let his guard down and love her and Kael fights to keep his emotional distance from a woman he's sure he has nothing to offer as they race to find and kill the Oathbreakers who threaten not just all of New Orleans, but Simone's very soul. "Publisher's Note: This book contains a graphic male/male erotic encounter."

Grammaticalization meets Construction Grammar

Evie Coussé, Peter Andersson, Joel Olofsson

Grammaticalization research has increasingly highlighted the notion of constructions in the last decade. In the wake of this heightened interest, efforts have been made in grammaticalization research to more precisely articulate the largely pretheoretical notion of construction in the theoretical framework of construction grammar. As such, grammaticalization research increasingly interacts and converges with the emerging field of diachronic construction grammar. This volume brings together articles that are situated at the intersection of grammaticalization research and diachronic construction grammar. All articles share an interest in integrating insights from grammaticalization research and construction grammar in order to advance our understanding of empirical cases of grammaticalization. Constructions at various levels of abstractness are investigated, both in well-documented languages, such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, Norwegian and English, and in less-described languages, such as Manchu and Mongolian.

1926 Orland Park Murder Mystery, The

On the morning of April 14, 1926, the Inland Steel payroll delivery was hijacked in Indiana Harbor. Later that afternoon, Will County deputy sheriff and Mokena resident Walter Fisher died in a hail of gunfire just outside Orland Park. That night, the bullet-riddled body of Santo Calabrese turned up on a Broadview road. The exact sequence of events remains uncertain, but a jury was able to trace enough of the day's violent trajectory to send Daniel Hesly on the path to Alcatraz. Matthew Galik leaps into a drama of high-speed pursuit and mistaken identity that shocked the jaded sensibilities of Prohibition-era Chicago and plunged the town of Mokena into mourning.

They live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.With lyrical writing, Lauren Oliver seamlessly interweaves the peril that Lena faces with the inner tumult she experiences after the reappearance of her first love, Alex, the boy she thought was dead. Sophisticated and wide-ranging, *Requiem* brings the Delirium trilogy to a thrilling conclusion.### Review“Before starting, readers should turn off their cellphones and wipe their schedules clean, because once they open the book, they won’t be able to stop. A dystopian tour de force.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ) Praise for PANDEMONIUM:“From the grief-stricken shell of her former self to a nascent refugee and finally to a full-fledged resistance fighter, Lena’s strength and the complexity of her internal struggles will keep readers up at night.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ) Praise for PANDEMONIUM:“This is a romance in the purest of senses, where just the longing for the faintest taste of love is worth the greatest of risks. Like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.” (Booklist ) Praise for PANDEMONIUM:“If...you crave the heart-stopping action of the arena from The Hunger Games combined with a destined-to-be-doomed love story then this sequel is perfect for you!” (Seventeen.com ) Praise for PANDEMONIUM:“Following directly on the heels of Delirium, Pandemonium is equally riveting. The underlying theme that love will win out regardless of prohibition is a powerful idea that will speak to teens.” (School Library Journal ) Praise for Delirium:“Strong characters, a vivid portrait of the lives of teens in a repressive society, and nagging questions that can be applied to our world today make this book especially compelling and discussable.” (School Library Journal (starred review) ) Praise for Before I Fall:“Oliver’s debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful....readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) ) Praise for Before I Fall:“Samantha’s attempts to save her life and right the wrongs she has caused are precisely what will draw readers into this complex story and keep them turning pages until Sam succeeds in living her last day the right way.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review) ) ### About the AuthorLauren Oliver captivated readers with her first novel, the *New York Times* bestseller *Before I Fall*, a *Publishers Weekly* Best Book of the Year. She followed that up with *Delirium*, the first book in her *New York Times* bestselling trilogy, which continued with *Pandemonium*. Oliver is also the author of *Liesl & Po*, a book for middle-grade readers, which received three starred reviews and was described as "a gorgeous story—timeless and magical" by Newbery Medal winner Rebecca Stead. A graduate of the University of Chicago and NYU's MFA program, Lauren Oliver lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Key West artist Augie Silver's paintings are worth a fortune, if he is dead, but he may be still alive and ready to paint again; and there are those who want to make sure that he is dead. Reprint. NYT. PW. From Publishers WeeklyThe value of a supposedly deceased Key West artist's work skyrockets, though some suspect him of being alive. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From BooklistAugie Silver is a successful Key West artist whose work brings a decent, if not extraordinary, price at the finer New York galleries. Then Augie, an avid sailor, disappears into the Carribean. His wife, Nina, grieves, and his friends hoist a few to his memory. Meanwhile, Augie's agent organizes a retrospective exhibit of the Silver collection; the show is a huge success, and the value of Augie's art goes through the roof, prompting the painter's friends to realize that the pictures hanging on their walls, largely gifts from their pal Augie, are now worth a fortune. Hold everything! Here's Augie, alive again. His boat broke apart in a storm, but he floated ashore and, after a bout of amnesia, has finally returned to his beloved Nina. She's overjoyed, but Augie's friends--seeing their anticipated pile of lucre shrink--aren't so sure. Soon Arnie's life is in danger again--this time from someone trying to protect his or her investment. Carefully drawn characters--Key West eccentrics, mostly--and a languid, poetic style combine with a clever plot for an unusual and very entertaining mystery. Wes Lukowsky

Jackson Falls 01-Coming Home

A rock and roll love story that will shatter your heart and then glue the pieces back together.From the USA Today bestselling author of FINAL EXIT comes a breathtaking novel about love, friendship, and the fine line between the two.Songwriter Casey Bradley is just eighteen years old on the day that handsome, charismatic singer Danny Fiore blows into her life and sets her heart on fire.  Good girl Casey has never done anything her dad would disapprove of, but the first time she looks into those turbulent blue eyes, the first time she hears that golden voice, she's ready to give up everything -- home, family, fiancé -- to follow Danny wherever his dreams lead them.Together with guitar wizard Rob MacKenzie, Casey writes the songs that catapult Danny to a fame beyond their wildest imaginings.  Through the lean years, when there isn't enough to eat, and the fat years, when life comes at them so quickly there's no time to breathe, they're an unstoppable hit-making machine, the holy trinity of rock and roll.  But the road to success is littered with land mines.  Rivers of darkness flow through her troubled marriage, and every time Danny breaks her heart, it's Rob who picks her up, dusts her off, and glues the pieces back together.It isn't until an unimaginable tragedy rocks their solid foundation that Casey is forced to question who she is and what she really wants from life.  As she searches for herself amid the wreckage, she discovers the bittersweet truth that the choices a woman makes at thirty may differ vastly from those she made at eighteen.COMING HOME is a poignant story about the seasons of a woman's heart, and the roundabout route we sometimes have to take to get to where we're meant to be.Don't miss the love story that readers have called "epic," "compelling," "captivating," and "beautifully written."This book contains adult situations and language.Review"Laurie Breton is a masterful storyteller. Her book sweeps the reader through two decades of a heartwarming, touching and emotional story that will tug at the heartstrings of all who read this book. It will leave the reader with a satisfied feeling that won't go away until well after the last page is turned."  -- Yvonne Hering, *Reader to Reader*"This story will take every emotion you have and tear it apart...it slowly builds an emotional powerhouse that explodes upon your imagination...I cried, I laughed, and I celebrated this book."-- Rita Hestand, *Romancing the Web*"I really loved this book.  It's wonderfully written and while it is long, it covers such a big chunk of time that it doesn't seem long.  There was never a time, for me anyway, where the story dragged.  I feel like it was well paced and the characters were nicely developed."-- Shelly,{Dive} Under the Covers"Lyrical and gorgeous...just beautiful in its portrayal of the devastating changes of love over time."-- Judith, *I Love Romantic Fiction*From the AuthorPeople often ask where I get my story ideas, and I tell them that I really don't know.  It often seems that ideas are floating around in the air, just waiting to be plucked out of the primordial goop and turned into novels.  COMING HOME, the first book I ever wrote, came out of that primordial goop.Anybody who's known me for more than five minutes knows that I'm a diehard rocker. At my advanced age, with the help of my iPod, classic rock from the 60's, 70's and 80's helps get me through my days.  I love Springsteen and Seger and Mellencamp, and I've seen Bon Jovi in concert five times (And expect to see them many more times...Jon, in case you're reading this, that's a broad hint that it's time to visit New England again. Your fans are getting antsy!  Oh, and my husband completely understands that if you ever leave Dorothea...).Ahem.I'm also fascinated by the whole rock star phenomenon from a sociological perspective.  I've sat, more than once, in the midst of a crowd of thirty to fifty thousand people, and been blown away by the fact that every face in the crowd is focused intently--entranced--on the man standing on that stage, and every voice in the crowd is singing along with him.  You haven't lived until you're heard fifty thousand voices singing in unison, "shot through the heart, and you're to blame..."So it really should come as no surprise to anyone that the first book I actually finished was about a rock star.  Casey Bradley and Danny Fiore lived inside my head for a long time before I ever committed them to paper, and in my woeful ignorance of the tenets of storytelling, I had no idea what to do with them.  Danny was gorgeous and sexy and talented...and damaged.  Casey was the strong one, the good woman who pushed him to be the man she knew he could be, and who stood by his side even under the worst of circumstances.  And maybe that would have been enough to carry me through to the end.  There was certainly plenty of conflict between Casey's vision of what marriage should be and Danny's shortcomings.But one day, something happened, something so unexpected that to this day, I still don't understand how it came to be.  I was sitting at my typewriter (yes, you read that right...that's how long ago this was), and from out of nowhere, Rob MacKenzie strolled onto the page, fully formed and ready to rock and roll.  I sat up a little straighter and frowned at the sheet of paper wound into my IBM Selectric.  Where the hell had this guy come from, this laid-back, green-eyed guitar wizard who dressed like his clothes came from Goodwill and who had an off-the-wall sense of humor and a hot Irish temper that surfaced every so often?  And what in hell was he doing in the middle of the love story I was writing?But I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I just rolled with it for a while.  And the story started to gel.  Then I stopped to do a little mental arithmetic.  Two boys plus one girl equals:  STORY CONFLICT!  The big thing this story needed to give it legs had just appeared.And it all came together.  It had taken years--almost two decades--but in the end I had a romantic saga that followed fifteen years of Casey's life, offering the reader drama and love and sex and tragedy and tears and a laugh or two.  It's not a light-hearted book.  Or a short one.  But I cared enough about these characters that I just couldn't let them wither on the vine.  Did Casey get her happy ending?  Yes, but not without weathering a few storms along the way.  Some of those storms were pretty damn big.  But you may remember that I said Casey was the strong one.  If you read the book, you'll understand.When COMING HOME was finished, it was put into print by a very small publisher. It was read by very few people, but still managed to garner a number of positive reviews within the romance community before it disappeared for nearly a decade.  Until I became aware of Kindle Direct Publishing, and decided to give this story, this Book of My Heart, new life.Now it's out there in Kindle-land (also in trade paperback) as Book 1 in my ongoing Jackson Falls series, and I couldn't be happier to be introducing Casey, Danny and Rob to a whole new group of readers!


Jackson Falls 01-Coming Home


Jackson Falls 03-Days Like This

The author of COMING HOME brings youanother touching story about love and marriage and family.What would you do if your brand-new husband discovered he had a teenage daughter? One who's hurt and angry and resentful?  One who's coming to live with you?For two decades, their friendship survived the roller coaster ride to fame and the tumult of her first marriage to his best friend.  Now that they've finally found their way home to each other, Casey Fiore and Rob MacKenzie are about to face another challenge, one that neither of them could have anticipated:  Rob's teenage daughter, Paige.Marriage is never easy, and the transition from friends to lovers can be awkward.  Still haunted by the ghost of Casey's first husband, charismatic rock icon Danny Fiore, they've spent the last year tiptoeing around the elephant in the living room.  While Rob struggles with long-held insecurities, Casey is gradually blossoming into the woman she was always meant to be. But with change comes uncertainty, and even as she finds herself overwhelmed by the ferocity of her feelings for her new husband, Casey wrestles with divided loyalties and the unexpected changes this marriage has wrought in her. Then the fifteen-year-old daughter Rob never knew about comes to live with them, and the quiet life they've carved out for themselves in Casey's rural Maine hometown is turned upside down as they're forced into instant parenthood.  Paige MacKenzie is prickly as a porcupine, and despite Rob's efforts, she refuses to build any kind of relationship with the father she's convinced deliberately deserted her.  As Casey and Rob face the challenges of parenting a rebellious teenager while struggling to become a family, they unravel secrets and discover truths about themselves and their relationship, truths that, if not dealt with, could threaten the future of their marriage.About the AuthorLaurie Breton has been writing since she was eight years old, and has always been thrilled by the feel of a new pen and the smell of a fresh sheet of paper.  These days, she writes on a computer, but still feels that same thrill every time she opens up a blank document page.  Her heartwarming stories about love and family relationships have been called "epic," "compelling," and "beautifully written." She believes in magic--the magic that can be found in words--and has devoted her life to seeking that elusive magic.

La collina delle farfalle

Nella terra dei Turnbow – un pascolo, un laghetto e un’amena fattoria ai piedi degli Appalachi meridionali – il cielo di novembre sembra un manto sbiadito quando Dellarobia si avventura da sola su per la collina dove il bosco è più fitto.  Indossa stivaletti rossi coi tacchi, inadatti al sentiero fangoso, una giacca di camoscio che le ha prestato la sua migliore amica e una sciarpa di ciniglia. Dopo aver affidato i bambini alla suocera, è rientrata in casa per lasciarvi gli occhiali e passarsi l’eyeliner, prima di svignarsela dalla porta sul retro, pronta a gettare alle ortiche la propria reputazione.  «Dellarobia è venuta male. Come un vestito fallato», ha sentito una volta dire a sua suocera. In città rincareranno sicuramente la dose: la donna di Cub Turnbow che dà un calcio alla propria vita, ai figli, alla famiglia per correre dietro a un ragazzo spiantato!  Lassù, in cima alla collina, l’aspetta, infatti, il primo incontro clandestino con Jimmy. Ventidue anni, sei meno di lei, Jimmy vive ancora con la madre in un camper e passa i fine settimana facendo le cose che fanno i ragazzi a quell’età: birra e tiro al bersaglio. È imperdonabile prendersi una cotta per un tipo simile! Però in compagnia di quel ragazzo, Dellarobia si sente come un gioiello di inestimabile valore.  All’uscita dal bosco, la vista si apre di colpo sul fianco della collina. Quando, stremata dalla salita, Dellarobia vi arriva, il sole schiude all’improvviso uno squarcio tra le nubi. E la montagna appare allora come un’unica sterminata esplosione di luce. Un arancione intenso infiamma le cime degli alberi. Uragani di splendore contro il cielo grigio, faville che si spargono sopra la foresta, come un immenso roveto ardente.  Per Dellarobia quel bagliore inaspettato significa una cosa sola: è la bellezza ultraterrena venuta a fermare la sua fuga e il suo tradimento. In realtà, la causa di quello strano fenomeno è altrove: una porzione cospicua di farfalle monarca, avvezze a svernare in Messico fin da quando Dio le ha messe al mondo, ha deciso di radunarsi, per la prima volta nella storia tramandata, negli Appalachi meridionali.  Sarà soltanto con l’arrivo in città di Ovid Byron, il carismatico e affascinante biologo che scorgerà nel fenomeno l’inquietante segno di uno sconvolgimento climatico, che Dellarobia scoprirà la verità. E il comportamento di volo che ha condotto le farfalle là dove non dovrebbero essere, nella terra dei Turnbow, le apparirà una perfetta metafora della sua vita: la vita di una donna che non è al suo posto nel mondo ed è, tuttavia, incapace di spiccare il volo. Magnifico romanzo sulla modernità e la catastrofe climatica, sull’amore e il tradimento, sulle certezze della scienza e il sentimento religioso, La collina delle farfalle è uno dei più importanti libri dell’ultima stagione letteraria americana.

Catapultata nell'universo luccicante e surreale della moda, popolato da personaggi ambigui e affascinanti, da cui è impossibile non sentirsi attratta, Barbara viaggia da Montecarlo a Milano, da Parigi a New York. Dopo cinque anni trascorsi tra show room sfarzosi, abiti haute couture, feste magnifiche, la decisione di abbandonare. Barbara ora fa un altro lavoro, e con quell'ambiente non ha più nulla a che fare. Riconosciuta per caso da un fotografo e tornata sotto i riflettori di tv e giornali, può permettersi il lusso di squarciare il velo di mistero che circonda quel mondo dorato, e di rivelare anche ai profani quello che nessuno racconta. Ci prende per mano e ci porta con sé nel backstage con Monica Bellucci, a cena con Alberto Sordi, nell'agenzia di John Casablancas, per mostrarci quello che ha vissuto, per una volta dal vivo e non dal buco della serratura. "Guardami negli occhi" è una sfida che l'autrice ci lancia. Un crudo spaccato sul mondo della moda, i suoi chiaroscuri e le sue contraddizioni, ma anche il bilancio esistenziale di una donna indipendente e determinata, che ha fatto una scelta tra le più coraggiose.

Atrevidas hipótesis y personalidades diversas serán arrojadas como pasto a un público ávido, insaciable y cruel. El Pulpo es, además de una historia verídica, un relato de apasionante actualidad.


Infierno, Purgatorio, Paraíso

Un viaje al país de los muertos, un caso de asesinato que acaba con el más lúgubre y siniestro de los encuentros, y un inolvidable día de verano en el que la historia política y la historia privada se entremezclan en una incitación a manejar los hilos del poder. Los tres relatos que conforman este libro, que van del futuro al pasado, son también un «Infierno», un «Purgatorio» y un «Paraíso», tres momentos en la decadencia de un país. Los tres fluyen entre la sátira y la meditación, entre la denuncia y la compasión, entre el gran estilo y las bajezas realistas, entre la imaginación moral y el análisis político.

Newton y el falsificador

Después de treinta años como profesor en Cambridge, Isaac Newton se hizo cargo de la Casa Real de la Moneda y se dedicó a perseguir a los falsificadores que ponían en peligro la estabilidad de la econonomía británica, muy especialmente a William Chaloner, un truhán habilísimo a quien finalmente consiguió desenmascarar. Thomas Levenson, después de describir los años de esplendor de Newton como hombre de ciencia, reconstruye su duelo con este astuto delincuente de un modo apasionante, combinando la divulgación histórica y científica con la narración criminal y descubriéndonos su faceta desconocida como detective.
