The long-awaited follow-up to 2011's Slash & Burn and the ninth installment in Colin Cotterill's bestselling mystery series starring the inimitable Lao national coroner, Dr. Siri In a small Lao village, a very strange thing has happened. A woman was shot and killed in her bed during a burglary; she was given a funeral and everyone in the village saw her body burned. Then, three days later, she was back in her house as if she'd never been dead at all. But now she's clairvoyant, and can speak to the dead. That's why the long-dead brother of a Lao general has enlisted her to help his brother uncover his remains, which have been lost at the bottom of a river for many years.   Lao national coroner Dr. Siri Paiboun and his wife, Madame Daeng, are sent along to supervise the excavation. It could be a kind of relaxing vacation for them, maybe, except Siri is obsessed with the pretty undead medium's special abilities, and Madame Daeng might be a little jealous. She doesn't trust the woman for some reason─is her hunch right? What is the group really digging for at the bottom of this remote river on the Thai border? What war secrets are being covered up?

The 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow is already rife with controversy, but when a Lao athlete is accused of murder, it escalates into a full blown international incident. In the twelfth entry to the series, Dr. Siri Paiboun and his quirky team of misfits are on the case in a city and country foreign to them, yet familiar in its corruption of justice. 1980: The People’s Democratic Republic of Laos is proud to be competing in its first-ever Olympics. Of course, half the world is boycotting the Moscow Summer Olympic Games to protest the Soviet Union’s recent invasion of Afghanistan, but that has made room for athletes from countries that are usually too small or underfunded to be competitive—like Laos.Ex-national coroner of Laos Dr. Siri Paiboun may be retired, but he and his wife, Madame Daeng, would do just about anything to have a chance to visit Moscow, so Siri finagles them a trip by getting them hired as medical advisers to the Olympians. Most of the athletes are young and innocent village people who have never worn running shoes, much less imagined anything as marvelous as the Moscow Olympic Village. As the competition heats up, however, Siri begins to suspect that one of the athletes is not who he says he is. Fearing a conspiracy, Siri and his friends investigate, liaising in secret with Inspector Phosy back home in Laos to see if the man might be an assassin. Siri’s progress is derailed when a Lao Olympian is accused of murder. Now in the midst of a murky international incident, Dr. Siri must navigate not one but two paranoid government machines to make sure justice is done.

Three young Laotian women have died of fencing sword wounds. Each of them had studied abroad in an Eastern bloc country. Before he can complete his investigation, Dr. Siri is lured to Cambodia by an all-expenses-paid trip. Accused of spying for the Vietnamese, he is imprisoned, beaten, and threatened with death. The Khmer Rouge is relentless, and it is touch and go for the dauntless, seventy-four-year-old national—and only—coroner of Laos.

In poverty-stricken 1978 Laos, a man with a truck from the city was “somebody,” a catch for even the prettiest village virgin. The corpse of one of these bucolic beauties turns up in Dr. Siri’s morgue and his curiosity is piqued. The victim was tied to a tree and strangled but she had not, as the doctor had expected, been raped, although her flesh had been torn. And though the victim had clear, pale skin over most of her body, her hands and feet were gnarled, callused, and blistered. On a trip to the hinterlands, Siri discovers that the beautiful female corpse bound to a tree has already risen to the status of a rural myth. This has happened many times before. He sets out to investigate this unprecedented phenomenon—a serial killer in peaceful Buddhist Laos—only to discover when he has identified the murderer that not only pretty maidens are at risk. Seventy-three-year-old coroners can be victims, too.

The eighth Dr. Siri Paiboun mysteryDr. Siri never really wanted to be Laos’s national coroner. And now that he is in his mid-70s, he longs to spend some time with his wife before the untimely death that is sure to befall him, according to the local transvestite fortune-teller. But retirement will have to wait (again) until he has completed one last job for the Lao government: supervising an excavation for the remains of a US fighter pilot who went down in the remote northern Lao jungle ten years earlier. And the stakes are high. The presence of American soldiers in Laos is controversial, and the search party includes high-level politicians and scientists. So when a member of the party is found dead, Dr. Siri suspects it may not have been an accident. Can Dr. Siri get to the bottom of the MIA pilot’s mysterious story before the body count rises and the fortune-teller’s prediction comes true?

The fifth Dr. Siri Paiboun mysterySeven female Hmong villagers kidnap Dr. Siri on orders from the village elder who hopes that Yeh Ming, the thousand-year-old shaman who shares the doctor’s body, will consent to exorcise the headman’s daughter. He fears that her soul has been possessed by a demon due to the curse of a mysterious Western artifact. Siri agrees to help and, in so doing, brings to pass a prediction of Auntie Bpoo, a transvestite fortune-teller.

In Vientiane, a booby-trapped corpse, intended for Dr. Siri, the national coroner of Laos, has been delivered to the morgue. In his absence, only Nurse Dtui’s intervention saves the lives of the morgue attendants, visiting doctors, and Madame Daeng, Dr. Siri’s fiancée. On his way back from a communist party meeting in the north, Dr. Siri is kidnapped by seven female Hmong villagers under the direction of the village elder so that he will—in the guise of Yeh Ming, the thousand-year-old shaman with whom he shares his body—exorcise the headman’s daughter whose soul is possessed by a demon, and lift the curse of the pogo stick.

Die Kleinen Und Die Bosen DAF - LP 5060238633567

Der Christ Julius Africanus hat in der ersten Hälfte des dritten Jahrhunderts unter dem Titel "Kestoi" (Stickereien) ein Werk der Universalgelehrsamkeit verfasst, in dem er scheinbar disparate Wissensgebiete behandelt: von der Magie zur Militärtechnik, von der Veterinärmedizin zur Dichtkunst, von der Landwirtschaft bis zur Lehre von Maßen und Gewichten. Dieses Werk wurde von den Gelehrten lange mit spitzen Fingern angefasst: es passt nicht gut in die Kategorien moderner Literatur und erst recht nicht in die Vorstellungen vom antiken Christentum. Tatsächlich ist in den erhaltenen Teilen der "Kestoi" vom christlichen Glauben des Verfassers keine Spur zu finden. Außerdem sind Editionslage und Textüberlieferung sehr komplex. Im vorliegenden Band wird zum ersten Mal eine umfassende Analyse der verschiedenen Aspekte vorgelegt. Das Werk erweist sich als wichtiger Zeuge der neuen Kultur des Wissens unter den Severern und in der zweiten Sophistik.

Die unter dem Namen des Theognis erhaltene Gedichtsammlung ist neben Homer und Hesiod der einzige handschriftlich üuuml;berlieferte dichterische Text aus der Zeit vor Pindar. Seine eigenartige Gestalt hat eine lange Diskussion um seine Echtheit und Entstehung hervorgerufen, die bis zu Zweifeln an der Existenz eines Dichters Theognis geführt hat. Wie ist das Theognideische Corpus entstanden und welchen Einfluss hatte Theognis darauf? Von dieser Frage geleitet, arbeitet die Untersuchung die umfangreiche Forschungsliteratur zum Thema auf und zeigt Möouml;glichkeiten und Grenzen einer Antwort.

Die turbulente Flüssigkeitsbewegung stellt schlechthin das ungelöste Problem der Strömungslehre dar. Dabei handelt es sich hier um eine äußerst verbreitete Erschei­ nung, die die gesamte praktische Strömungsmechanik geradezu beherrscht. In be­ merkenswertem Kontrast hierzu steht die Feststellung, daß viele der Physiker und Ingenieure, die als hervorragende und keineswegs einseitige Experten der Strömungs­ lehre gelten, relativ wenig mit der Materie der turbulenten Strömungen vertraut sind. Ferner ist festzustellen, daß eine unübersehbare Fülle von Einzelveröffentlichungen existiert und daß laufend weitere Forschungsarbeiten zur Turbulenz erscheinen, daß es aber nur wenige Buchveröffentlichungen gibt, die als Lehrbuch geeignet sind. Im Vergleich zu den auf anderen Teilgebieten der Strömungslehre vorhandenen Büchern ist der Prozentsatz an Büchern über Turbulenz verschwindend gering. Ein deutsch­ sprachiges Buch, das die in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten erzielten Fortschritte der Turbulenz-Forschung angemessen behandelt, ist nicht verfügbar. Diese Sachlage mag den Versuch rechtfertigen, die bestehende Lücke zu schließen. Der Band soll eine Einführung in die Theorie vermitteln mit dem Ziel, die wesent­ lichen Tatsachen der turbulenten Strömungen dem Verständnis des Lesers nahezu­ bringen und ihn mit den Anwendungsmäglichkeiten der theoretischen Methoden vertraut zu machen. Der vorgegebene Umfang erforderte eine strenge Eingrenzung des Stoffes. Es werden nur sogenannte "ausgebildete turbulente" Strömungen behandelt. Auf die Stabilität der laminaren Strömungen und die Entstehung der Turbulenz wird nicht eingegangen.

The archive of the Egibi family from the 6th century BC originates in Babylon and covers a time span of more than 100 years and five generations. It is known as the largest and most important private archive from the Neo-Babylonian period. Although nearly 800 tablets were already published in cuneiform copies by the end of the 19th century, no comprehensive text edition and study of this archive has been completed so far. This book presents the first step and focuses on the purchase of land (date orchards and arable land) by the Egibi family. About 240 records (property titles and related debt notes, receipts, field plans, etc.) form the core of the archive and are closely interrelated with other aspects of the family's business. Nearly half of them were previously unpublished. The book provides transliterations ans translations of all texts, as well as copies of new material including hitherto unknown sealings of published tablets. The study shows how the Egibi family managed to accumulate considerable wealth in real estate over a relatively short period of time. The impact of inheritance and marriages and the way the estates were damaged are also examined.
