Condizione: As New. : Aaric es el hijo de Ivar Ingold, líder del clan Olin del pueblo vikingo del Norte. Aaric es un arquero y espadachín experimentado, pero a diferencia de los otros jóvenes vikingos, carece del deseo de matar a otro ser vivo, ni siquiera a un animal. Su padre lo describe más como poeta que como guerrero, y debido a esto, ha sido rechazado para participar en el Rito de Aceptación, el ritual anual cuando los jóvenes vikingos son iniciados como guerreros vikingos y, a partir de entonces, se les permite participar en sus incursiones y aventuras. Son tiempos difíciles para la gente del Norte, ya que los clanes invaden y se conquistan unos a otros por sus tierras y tesoros. Aaric se entera de un viejo sabio que vive en el bosque sobre la existencia de una espada dorada, que una vez perteneció al rey Haldor, una figura famosa y casi mítica de la que los jóvenes vikingos aprenden en sus sagas e historias para dormir. La leyenda dice que el rey Haldor desapareció mientras viajaba solo a una isla aislada entre el hielo flotante al norte para derrotar al último dragón restante y al malvado hechicero que lo creó. El sabio le dice a Aaric que quien posea la espada dorada de Haldor, que se dice que fue creada en Valhalla, es el único rey verdadero de todos los clanes vikingos. Mientras reflexiona sobre la existencia de la espada dorada y cómo su padre podría unir a los clanes en paz si la poseyera, Aaric descubre a Kira, una joven celta que vive entre los animales del bosque después de escapar del intento de un cruel líder de clan de esclavizarla a ella y a su familia, todos menos ella perecieron cuando sus barcos se estrellaron contra las rocas mientras los demás estaban encadenados al casco. Aaric decide robar un barco e intentar navegar a la isla secreta para recuperar la espada dorada. Poco después de partir, descubre a Kira escondida en el barco y los dos continúan hacia la isla. Una vez allí, rápidamente se dan cuenta de que hay algo diferente en el lugar. Conocen a un lobo parlante; un hombre insecto volador llamado Mantuk; un hombre árbol gigante; y finalmente un hechicero benévolo llamado Namon que ha perdido su magia. La historia trata de su viaje para recuperar la espada dorada, que descubren que está encerrada en cristal sólido dentro de la guarida volcánica de Valgaard, un hechicero malvado que se esfuerza por levantar un nuevo ejército de dragones del pantano negro, y con el aliento de fuego de un dragón, liberar la espada dorada de su cristal para poseerla y su poder mítico mientras intenta llevar a cabo su plan para conquistar a todos los pueblos del mundo. 'La espada dorada' es la historia de dos niños que luchan por ser aceptados en un mundo que ha sido duro con ambos, y cómo la adversidad los acerca y les permite descubrir el coraje y la grandeza que hay en ambos. Es una historia de amistad, de servicio mutuo y de aceptarnos unos a otros tal como somos y no como otros quieren que seamos.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1973, in the movie Walking Tall, Hollywood introduced to the world a young professional wrestler turned sheriff named Buford H. Pusser. The movie portrayed Sheriff Pusser's real life battle against the thugs and bootleggers who had operated freely on the Tennessee-Mississippi state line prior to his election in 1964. During his six-year tenure as sheriff, Buford was shot and stabbed multiple times and had to watch the brutal murder of his wife Pauline during an early morning ambush on August 12, 1967, during which Buford himself was seriously wounded. The assailants were never identified. The movie turned Buford into a living legend, especially for the law enforcement community, and today he is perhaps America's most famous lawman since Wyatt Earp.In 2022, for reasons that are not clearly known, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation ('TBI') decided to reopen the Pauline Pusser murder investigation. After re-examining the case evidence, much of which has disappeared over the decades, and purporting to use modern investigative methods and techniques, the TBI, along with a local district attorney, announced during a 2025 press conference that they now believe Buford staged the ambush in 1967 and murdered his wife.The Trial of Buford Pusser is the first critical review of the TBI's re-investigation of the case and concludes that they either misinterpreted or missed altogether critical evidence, and that their lack of investigative rigor and integrity has led them to reach erroneous conclusions about the case. The author, himself one of the Nation's leading experts on the subjects of police practices and use of force, provides a detailed analysis of every aspect of the case using files, documents, and evidence obtained from various courts and archives across the U.S. and dating back to the mid-1950s. Anyone who has an interest in the Buford Pusser story will find his analysis enlightening.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How many times have you read a news story about someone being shot by the police while reaching for their waistband Or about an officer who testified at trial that the person he shot during a physical struggle had superhuman strength or a thousand-yard stare in his eyes And how many times have you watched a police chief or sheriff during a press conference invoke the '21-foot rule' to justify their officer's killing of a mentally ill person with a knife These and a host of other verbal devices are what author William Harmening calls the 'deadly force script.' It is a strategy that has been employed with great success by the law enforcement community in the decades following the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Tennessee v. Garner (1985), the case that for the first time placed significant restrictions on a police officer's use of deadly force. It is a strategy that has gone relatively unnoticed by the general public, the media, elected prosecutors, and the judges and juries who must rule on the reasonableness of an officer's actions. Now, perhaps for the very first time, William Harmening pulls back the veil to expose the deadly force script for all to see. He does this in a unique and informative way by presenting actual case studies where the script was employed following a deadly police encounter, typically right under the unsuspecting noses of local media and the prosecutor tasked with deciding whether to criminally charge the officers involved. Anyone with an interest in the twin ideals of an equitable system of justice and a professional and bias-free police force will find William Harmening's presentation both fascinating and enlightening.…
