Le Da Vinci Code, best-seller mondial de Dan Brown, a initié des millions de lecteurs à un univers fascinant dans lequel Léonard de Vinci dissimule des indices dans ses œuvres et où l'Eglise catholique s'oppose depuis des siècles à une ancienne société secrète pour le contrôle su Saint-Graal... ou du Sang Réal. Sitôt refermé ce livre érudit et haletant, une question se pose : comment, parmi toutes ces informations, distinguer la fiction de la réalité ? Organisé de A à Z pour une lecture simple, rapide à consulter, Le code Da Vinci décrypté fait le point et répond à toutes vos interrogations : - Le Prieuré de Sion existe-t-il réellement, et quel est son but ? - Pourquoi croyait-on autrefois que la présence du Nombre d'Or révélait le passage de la main de Dieu ? - Quelles sont les dernières théories à propos de la vraie nature du Saint-Graal ? - Quelle est la signification profonde qui se cache derrière le nom des personnages ? Illustré de tableaux de Léonard de Vinci ainsi que de nombreux documents évoqués dans le roman, Le code Da Vinci décrypté est une extraordinaire source d'informations pour tous ceux que le roman a captivés et tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la légende du Saint-Graal.

Cox's fifth book is a collection of prose poems that range from third-person projections to personal memoir. Though sometimes set in the Sixties and Seventies, their nostalgia is not an easy one. The poems are marked by the anxieties and ills of their time, many of which seem just as true today. Cox has been publishing for over thirty years and he brings a sophisticated psychological perspective to bear on the varied occasions for poems. The poems are big-hearted, rich in detail and lyrical, when called for. Their rhythms and tonal atmospheres are masterful. This book has been a long time coming and it was worth the wait.

- 12 heures de lecture
Written in the accessible, intelligent, jargon-free style for which The Economist is famous, this book is aimed at anyone – from students to presidents – who wants to make sense of the modern economy and grasp how economic theory works in practice. The laws of economics do not change from week to week. If you have ever wondered why America's trade deficit attracts so much fuss, why central bankers enjoy so much deference, whether stockbrokers earn their commissions, or why we cannot share unemployment by sharing work out more evenly, the articles in this book provide answers based on economic principles of lasting relevance. Part one of the book looks at globalisation. Part two track the fortunes of the world economy - America's recovery and its imbalances; China's rise; and the brighter signs for the Japanese and German economies after years of underachievement. Part three examines the "capital" in capitalism - what finance does for the economy; how money and credit are created, regulated and circulated; and capial flows across national borders. Part four explores how economics is applied and misapplied - what the market can achieve and how it can fail.
