8 Down (Alaskan Cyber Hunters)
by Kimberley Woodhouse"An amazing, breath-stealing, knuckle-biting thrill of a ride!" --Lynette Eason, award-winning, best-selling suspense author 8 bodies down. 8 more lives at stake. Investigator Carrie Kintz is new blood with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage. But with a serial killer on the loose, there's no easing into the job. It's sink or swim. The only clues to help law enforcement stop this madman are the taunts he drops into crossword puzzles across the country--always in the same 8 DOWN position. Carrie is desperate to prove her worth to the force and the community by catching the killer. But when she discovers signs that these deaths are just the tip of the iceberg in a frighteningly elaborate cyberattack, it's time to admit she needs help. Calling in security specialist Scott Patteson for his expertise seems like the right move--until Carrie realizes that he may be a dangerous distraction for her heart. With her faith fading in the face of horror and uncertainty and her career in danger of ending, this is no time for flirtation. But with a killer who is determined to prove that he's smarter than everyone else, it may be impossible to fight both the madman and their feelings for each other . . . "Put on your parkas as we head into a cold world of cybercrime, and hang on for the ride! Kimberley Woodhouse once again takes us on a nail-biter of a ride, and you won't want to quit until you've read the last page!" --Jaime Jo Wright, author of The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater

8ed Der Beobachter der Genesis: Die Wissenschaft hinter der Schöpfungsgeschichte
by Alberto CanenDie Genesis ist seit Tausenden von Jahren ein Rätsel. Niemand war in der Lage zu verstehen, wovon der Text sprach, ob er nur ein einleitendes Gedicht zur Heiligen Schrift war oder ob er tatsächlich Informationen über die Schöpfung enthielt. Der Text der Genesis spaltet bis heute die Gemüter von Kreationisten und Wissenschaftlern. Mit diesem Buch hoffe ich, diese Trennung zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Kreationisten aufzuweichen, denn ich habe den Schlüssel entdeckt, der beide Welten vereint. Ich denke, der Schlüssel zum Geheimnis der Genesis liegt darin, zu verstehen, dass sie von jemandem erzählt wird. Einem Erzähler der Genesis. Jemand, der die Vision, die Gott ihm gibt, beobachtet und von dort aus erzählt, was er beobachtet, und er beobachtet es von seinem menschlichen und irdischen Standort aus. Dieser irdische und genaue Standort ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Genesis.
