The region of Alsace, France, 1942.Some things are to die for: Evangeline Pfeiffer has a stolen secret. There are those who would kill her to get it back. Ever since the German invasion, Evangeline Pfeiffer has worked at the bakery in the small French town of Turckheim. Each morning, together with Alain her brother, she helps make the bread and pastries for Joseph, the baker. It is a life of routine and order.But there is disaster waiting just round the corner and when Alain is arrested by the Gestapo for aiding the resistance, her quiet existence is shattered. Unwittingly, she becomes an accomplice in the murder of Nazi agent Ludwig Kraus and finds herself thrown together with the killer, a Polish spy code named Kasha. She's on the wanted list, her only hope is an escape to Spain. Taking the baker's van she and Kasha drive south. She has burnt her bridges - there is no going back. She is on the run - but the spy running with her might not be all he seems; Evangeline is suspicious; maybe he has another agenda - one that will not include her.Behind them as they twist and turn across Occupied France, their pursuers are closing in: the Gestapo, the German spy catchers (Sicherheitsdienst) and, most terrifying of all, the ruthless French secret police, La Carlingue. If they catch her she knows she will have little chance of survival: she will be raped, tortured and executed.In the city of Dijon Kasha is captured. On her own with her chances of escape fading she continues her flight south; all the while the net tightening around her. Arriving in the southern city of Lyon she makes contact with a resistance cell but she is unsure if she can trust them - everywhere there are informers. Then something happens - she meets Grainger, a British SOE agent - he could be the game changer. If she can persuade him to help her, this could be her ticket out. But Grainger is reluctant, he has his own mission, he can't afford passengers - nevertheless she's sticking to him. She's not about to let go...

When Italians speak Russian, do they think in Italian or Russian? Or does the thinking not happen in either language? This work is an attempt to answer these questions by an experimental piece of research. The speed and success of the acquisition of the syntactic hierarchization and discourse structuring in Italian native speakers learning Russian L2 were measured and matched in order to compare the distances between Italian and Russian on these two levels. It was demonstrated that the way the speaker uses a linguistic system is not a totally free and arbitrary choice, but it follows certain regularities, and constitutes his textual-discourse competence, i.e. the language use is specifically structured, and the native structure of the linguistic use is much more resistant to the acquisition of the second language than the morpho-syntactic component, probably because the former influences the speaker’s thinking.

Johannes Vermeer, one of the greatest Dutch painters and for some the single greatest painter of all, produced a remarkably small corpus of work. In Vermeer's Family Secrets, Benjamin Binstock revolutionizes how we think about Vermeer's work and life. Vermeer, The Sphinx of Delft, is famously a mystery in art: despite the common claim that little is known of his biography, there is actually an abundance of fascinating information about Vermeer’s life that Binstock brings to bear on Vermeer’s art for the first time; he also offers new interpretations of several key documents pertaining to Vermeer that have been misunderstood. Lavishly illustrated with more than 180 black and white images and more than sixty color plates, the book also includes a remarkable color two-page spread that presents the entirety of Vermeer's oeuvre arranged in chronological order in 1/20 scale, demonstrating his gradual formal and conceptual development. No book on Vermeer has ever done this kind of visual comparison of his complete output. Like Poe's purloined letter, Vermeer's secrets are sometimes out in the open where everyone can see them. Benjamin Binstock shows us where to look. Piecing together evidence, the tools of art history, and his own intuitive skills, he gives us for the first time a history of Vermeer's work in light of Vermeer's life. On almost every page of Vermeer's Family Secrets, there is a perception or an adjustment that rethinks what we know about Vermeer, his oeuvre, Dutch painting, and Western Art. Perhaps the most arresting revelation of Vermeer's Family Secrets is the final one: in response to inconsistencies in technique, materials, and artistic level, Binstock posits that several of the paintings accepted as canonical works by Vermeer, are in fact not by Vermeer at all but by his eldest daughter, Maria. How he argues this is one of the book's many pleasures.

Winner of the 2004 Annual Archives Award for Excellence in Research Using the Holdings of the New York State Archives presented by the Board of Regents and the New State York Archives Beverwijck explores the rich history and Dutch heritage of one of North America's oldest cities—Albany, New York. Drawing on documents translated from the colonial Dutch as well as maps, architectural drawings, and English-language sources, Janny Venema paints a lively picture of everyday life in colonial America. In 1652, Petrus Stuyvesant, director general of New Netherland, established a court at Fort Orange, on the west side of New York State's upper Hudson River. The area within three thousand feet of the fort became the village of Beverwijck. From the time of its establishment until 1664, when the English conquered New Netherland and changed the name of the settlement to Albany, Beverwijck underwent rapid development as newly wealthy traders, craftsmen, and other workers built houses, roads, bridges, and a school, as well as a number of inns. A well-organized system of poor relief also helped less wealthy settlers survive in the harsh colonial conditions. Venema's careful research shows that although Beverwijck resembled villages in the Dutch Republic in many ways, it quickly took on features of the new, "American" society that was already coming into being.

During the 1980s through 1990s, Washington, DC, leadership was in shambles following the arrest of Mayor Marion Barry on drug charges. When Barry was reelected as mayor after being released from prison, the outraged United States Congress slashed every cent possible from the city budget, a decision that would ultimately take revenge on the entire city. The Congresss retaliation was swift and widespread throughout the city government . . . and the Metropolitan Police Department. Congress defunding the citys metropolitan police had a devastating effect on everything from crime rates to the restructuring of the entire department. Not one cent was budgeted for the police department. Congresss view of city management echoed that of a national opinion in that a city reelecting a jailbird as their mayor deserved everything it got. Long-established hiring practices that had once made the Metropolitan Police Department a premiere agency were all but eliminated. Many times, the hiring of new officers was left to the discretion of a few persons within the agency. Cronyism was rampant, and hiring standards were lowered. The friends of some city officials were hired as police recruits even though their drug arrest convictions would have excluded them from being hired under earlier standards. During the late 1980s, one recruit class had over 40 percent of their recruit officers subjected to department disciplinary action or were terminated during their very first year of service. One academy class was embarrassed by the arrest of seven new recruits for outstanding felony warrants. Apparently, no one had bothered to check the applicants names through the National Criminal Database for outstanding warrants. Or perhaps had this been a carefully planned strategy to hire unqualified and unemployed city residents and lessen a growing unemployment problem? Either way, anyone with a prior arrest record and fortunate enough to have friends in high places could be a police officer. One high-ranking police official was heard to privately comment, Hire them now, fire them later. Operation Tarnished Shield is the third fictional story in the Bakers Dozen series of novels. This is based on an actual criminal investigation that was conducted by the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Departments Office of Professional Standards (OPS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the mid-1990s that led to an eighteen month investigation and the subsequent arrest and conviction of twelve metropolitan police officers. Had the entire operation not been hastily closed down because of the impending murder of one of their own, its certain that there would have been more officers arrested, making it a bakers dozen.
