"Her hair was black and fell to her shoulders. She had high cheekbones and a sensual mouth, and wore a dress of white silk. Her eyes were blue, alight and disdainful, but, as they gazed into his with a touch of humour, Bond realized that they contained a message. Solitaire watched his eyes on her and nonchalantly drew her forearms together so that the valley between her breasts deepened. The message was unmistakable."  Beautiful, fortune-telling Solitaire is the prisoner (and tool) of Mr Big—master of fear, artist in crime and Voodoo Baron of Death. James Bond has no time for superstition—he knows that this criminal heavy hitter is also a top SMERSH operative and a real threat. More than that, after tracking him through the jazz joints of Harlem, to the everglades and on to the Caribbean, 007 has realized that Big is one of the most dangerous men that he has ever faced. And no-one, not even the mysterious Solitaire, can be sure how their battle of wills is going to end…

Les réactions péricycliques constituent un volet majeur de la chimie organique, y compris des réactions de synthèse aussi importantes sur le plan commercial que la réaction de Diels-Alder. De telles réactions sont caractérisées par leur stéréochimie prévisible et leurs structures de transition cycliques.

Cet ouvrage de référence passe en revue ces réactions, en expliquant leur principe théorique à l'aide de diagrammes de corrélation et en montrant aux étudiants comment reconnaître les différents types de réactions péricycliques, leurs mécanismes et leurs applications à la synthèse organique.

‘He was about six feet tall, slim and fit. The eyes in the lean , slightly tanned face were a very clear grey-blue and as they observed the men they were cold and watchful.

James Bond contre docteur No

" Cet homme est un dangereux tueur professionnel et un espion. Il travaille pour le service secret britannique depuis 1938 et porte maintenant le numéro 007. Le premier 0 indique qu'il est autorisé à tuer en service actif, et le second 0 qu'il l'a déjà fait. " À cette révélation extraite d'une fiche du K.G.B. soviétique, l'amiral " M " (patron du service britannique) ajoute que James Bond est le meilleur joueur de cartes du service et qu'il n'hésite pas, si nécessaire, à " faire le gigolo " pour l'Angleterre. Précision confirmée et nuancée par une de ses collègues : " Il aime les trains, les avions, les mets raffinés et très certainement les femmes de luxe. " Il aime aussi la boisson mais affirme ce penchant avec humour quelles que soient les circonstances. Blessé et traqué dans les marais de Floride, il rêve à une coupe de champagne " frappé à point ". Mis à la question par le redoutable Docteur No, il garde le silence tant qu'on ne lui apportera pas " une bouteille de bourbon avec de la glace, du soda et un paquet de Chesterfield ". On trouvera, réunis en deux volumes de la collection " Bouquins ", les récits par Ian Flemming des dix-huit missions de James Bond, missions dont le bilan a permis au Times d'écrire sobrement, dans une notice nécrologique (prématurée) : " Il n'y a pas d'exagération à proclamer sans équivoque que grâce aux efforts valeureux de ce seul homme, la sécurité du royaume s'est trouvée considérablement consolidée. " Ce volume contient : Goldfinger • Bons Baisers de Paris • Opération Tonnerre • Motel 007 ou L'Espion qui m'aimait • On ne vit que deux fois • L'Homme au pistolet d'or • Meilleurs vœux de la Jamaïque.
