Man schreibt das Jahr 1072 nach Christi Geburt. Der fränkische Krieger Vallon hat nichts mehr zu verlieren. In den Alpen begegnet er dem jungen Gelehrten Hero, unterwegs mit seinem Meister. Als dieser stirbt, bittet Hero Vallon um seine Begleitung nach England, wo er einem normannischen Ritter die Lösegeldforderung des türkischen Sultans für seinen Sohn überbringen soll. Doch der Preis für die Freiheit des jungen Sir Walter Olbec ist unermesslich hoch: vier weiße Gerfalken, kostbare Vögel, die überaus selten sind. Nur hoch im Norden, im ewigen Eis, hat man schon Exemplare davon gesehen. Für Vallon, Hero und ihre Gefährten beginnt eine atemberaubende Odyssee durch die entlegensten Länder der Welt – von Grönland über Russland bis nach Konstantinopel, über das tobende Nordmeer und blutgetränkte Schlachtfelder. Grausame Wikingerkrieger und rachsüchtige Normannen stellen sich ihnen in den Weg, wilde Flüsse und unwegsame Pfade gilt es zu überwinden, bis sie endlich ans Ziel kommen – und die Welt plötzlich nicht mehr so ist, wie sie einmal war … - E-bokTyska, 2014

Nach «Der Thron der Welt» der neue packende historische Abenteuerroman von Robert Lyndon!1081 n. Chr.: Der fränkische Kommandeur Vallon rettet in der Schlacht bei Durazzo Kaiser Alexios I. vor dem sicheren Tod. Zum Lohn für seine Heldentat wird er zum General ernannt. Sein nächster Auftrag soll ihn und seine Gefolgsleute ins ferne China führen, um die Formel für das sagenhafte Donnerkraut zu stehlen - das Schießpulver, mit dem die Kundigen, so geht die Legende, Feuerschwerter herstellen können.Aber die Mission ist eher eine Bestrafung denn eine Belohnung: Auf dem Weg über das Schwarze Meer und den Kaukasus, über das Kaspische Meer und durch Tibet werden Vallon und seine Gefährten von Piraten verfolgt, von Banditen angegriffen, als Sklaven gefangen genommen. Und als sie endlich ihr Ziel erreichen, hat die Welt sich verändert, und nichts ist mehr so, wie es einmal war …«Mit dem ‹Thron der Welt› hat Lyndon ein bemerkenswertes Debüt vorgelegt. Er ist der geborene Erzähler, und hat gründlich recherchiert. Seine Sprache ist mal knapp, mal poetisch und voller Bilder.» (NDR Kultur) - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2013

The study of plant development in recent years has often been concerned with the effects of the environment and the possible involvement of growth substances. The prevalent belief that plant growth substances are crucial to plant development has tended to obscure rather than to clarify the underlying cellular mechanisms of development. The aim in this book is to try to focus on what is currently known, and what needs to be known, in order to explain plant development in terms that allow further experimentation at the cellular and molecular levels. We need to know where and at what level in the cell or organ the critical processes controlling development occur. Then, we will be better able to under stand how development is controlled by the genes, whether directly by the continual production of new gene transeripts or more indirectly by the genes merely defining self-regulating systems that then function autonomously. This book is not a survey of the whole of plant development but is meant to concentrate on the possible component cellular and molecular processes involved. Consequently, a basic knowledge of plant structure is assumed. The facts of plant morphogenesis can be obtained from the books listed in the General Reading seetion at the end of Chapter 1. Although references are not cited specifically in the text, the key references for each section are denoted by superscript numbers and listed in the Notes section at the end of each chapter.
