Il m'a fallu Un demi-siècle pour voir le bout du tunnel : 50 années de malheur . J'aimerais vous dire qu'il y a eu beaucoup de moments heureux, mais je vous mentirais. Les beaux souvenirs de mon passé se comptent sur les doigts d'une main. Et pourtant, je peux affirmer aujourd'hui que j'ai découvert l'authenticité du bonheur... je remercie mon coeur d'avoir survécu à toutes les tragédies.
Ce livre est mon pur vécu, sans aucune fiction. J'ai voulu publier mon histoire afin de la partager avec les lecteurs. Certains se reconnaîtront dans mes écrits qui, je l'espère, pourront apporter des réponses à leurs questions.
Maggie Baird est aussi riche que pingre, ce qui ne la rend guère populaire dans son petit village écossais. Aussi, quand elle périt dans sa voiture en feu, il ne fait aucun doute que c'est pour sa fortune qu'on l'a tuée. En guise de suspects idéaux, le détective Hamish MacBerth a devant lui quatre des anciens amants de la défunte, que celle-ci avait conviés dans son luxueux cottage, tous plus pauvres les uns que les autres. Elémentaire, mon cher Watson ? Peut-être un peu trop... Hamish Macbeth va devoir chercher plus loin parmi les ennemis de Maggie et faire appel à son infaillible intuition pour dénouer l'affaire. Et éviter ainsi d'être la prochaine victime...
Vous aimez Agatha Raisin ? Vous allez adorer Hamish Macbeth ! Comme sa grande soeur Agatha, cet Hercule Poirot à la sauce écossaise entraîne le lecteur dans des aventures totalement déjantées sorties tout droit de l'imagination de M.C Beaton. Avec, en prime, le charme des lochs, des Highlanders mystérieux et des châteaux hantés. Aussi savoureux qu'un single malt !
Ana, une jeune fille plongée dans les ténèbres depuis sa plus tendre enfance, cherche à faire la lumière sur les flashs récurrents empoisonnant son existence et l'empêchant de s'épanouir. Elle va alors, de ce fait, disséquer sans relâche ni répit les origines de ses "Parents" afin de trouver une explication à ce phénomène anxiogène...

Le corps humain constitue un témoin privilégié des activités et du mode de vie des individus. Alors que l'archéologie funéraire fournit des données trop souvent insatisfaisantes sur l'identité des défunts, l'étude paléoanthropologique (en particulier paléopathologique) des ossements apporte en effet des éléments nouveaux et complémentaires aux recherches basées sur l'identification professionnelle et sociale des individus. La volonté d'appréhender les populations anciennes comme des ensembles non plus homogènes mais, au contraire, composites, nécessite un traitement plus approfondi de toutes les données disponibles. En réunissant les contributions d'anthropologues, de paléopathologistes, d'archéologues, d'historiens, d'iconographes et de philologues, cet ouvrage permet, au travers de développements théoriques et d'études de cas, de poser les jalons méthodologiques de l'identification socioprofessionnelle des défunts. Ces résultats soulignent l'apport de la paléoanthropologie aux sciences historiques et l'intérêt de la conjugaison des compétences des différents spécialistes. Le sujet, bien que d'une grande richesse, n'a été que très peu exploité jusqu'ici. Cet ouvrage constitue ainsi la première synthèse méthodologique sur l'identification professionnelle et sociale des défunts par le biais de l'anthropologie physique, tout en soulignant l'intérêt de la démarche sur le plan plus large des études historiques et sociales.
