Die Suche führt tiefer in den Berg. Hinweise widersprechen einander, Beobachtungen kippen, Masken beginnen zu rutschen. Was wie ein Vermisstenfall begann, entpuppt sich als Teil eines größeren Plans. Und nicht jeder folgt ihm aus Zwang.

In the late 19th century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life's mean material affairs - and toward the next life's glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do.

Three Speeches That Saved the Union provides the first ever deep content analysis of the three most eventful speeches delivered in the Us Senate. Historian Peter Charles Hoffer offers a thorough analytical study of the roles of the "great triumvirate" of American political leaders – Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster – played in preserving the American Union. All three were lawyers, and for lawyers especially, words mattered.

More often, the story of the federal judiciary is simply a tale of hard work: of finding order in the chaotic system of state and federal law, local custom, and contentious lawyering. The Federal Courts is a story of all of these courts and the judges and justices who served on them, of the case law they made, and of the acts of Congress and the administrative organs that shaped the courts.

Welcome to a very exclusive corner of chaos. Dinner’s about to burn, my toddler’s shouting “The poo is running out!” like she’s leading a disaster drill, and the dog—ever the detective—is nose-deep in the action.
