  • - Textiles from Norse Greenland
    by Else Østergård
    £17.49

    Erik den Rødes efterkommere, de norrøne grøn­lændere, beboede det sydvestlige Grønland i et halvt årtusinde indtil midten af 1400-årene, hvor de sidste nordboere af endnu uopklarede grunde forsvandt.Den grønlandske jord har bevaret den unikke kulturarv efter nordboerne, og "Woven into the Earth" præsenterer et fuldstændigt katalog over de norrøne tekstilfund fra 28 lokaliteter udgravet af danske arkæologer igennem de sidste par hundrede år.I 1921 blev der på Herjolfsnæs Kirke­gård gjort unikke fund af nordbodragter. Resultaterne af de arkæologiske udgravninger ved Herjolfs­næs/Ikigaat gav genlyd i hele verden.Årsagen til den store opmærksomhed var det ene­stående fund af velbevarede dragtdele fra middel­alderen: I stedet for i kister var mange døde blevet grav­lagt indsvøbt i aflagte klæder. Kjoler til voksne og børn, hatte og kalotter, strudhætter og hoser, som man hidtil kun havde kendt fra af­bild­ninger fra Vest­europas middelalder, blev bragt til Dan­mark, og de velbevarede dragter hører i dag til blandt National­museets skatte.Forfatteren har i mange år forsket i nord­boernes tøj - og nytolker i denne bog Herjolfs­næsdragterne og ana­lyserer desuden alle senere fund af nordbo­tekstiler i Grønland.Dette er en engelsk udgave af bogen "Som syet til jorden", der udkom i 2003.

  • - The Emergence of Kingship in Early Dilmun
    by Steffen Terp Laursen
    £20.99

    Kongegravene ved A’ali i Bahrain har længe være omgivet af mystik, og man har antaget, at de repræsenterer det sidste hvilested for Dilmunrigets bronzealderkonger. Opdagelsesrejsende og professionelle arkæologer, der var draget af monumenternes enorme størrelse, har gennem århundreder forsøgt at trænge ind i højenes indre og fravriste kamrenes deres skatte og hemmeligheder. Denne bog omhandler alt fra den tidligste arkæologiske udforskning af A’ali til helt nye data fra den under forfatterens ledelse gennemførte Bahrain-Moesgaard Museum ekspedition til A’ali (2010 -2016). Informationer fra både gamle og nye undersøgelser præsenteres og analyseres omhyggeligt. Resultaterne diskuteres med hovedfokus på den kongelige gravplads som samfundsinstitution og med afsæt i et teoretisk perspektiv, der trækker på dødsritualers antropologi og etnografi. Fokus er ligeledes rettet mod udviklingen af en arkitektonisk typologi samt en C14-kronologi over kongegravene. Meget omfattende mængder hidtil upublicerede udgravningsdata fra Bahrains gravhøje inkorporeres i studiet for at skabe et velunderbygget og diakront billede af udviklingen i gravarkitektur, dødsritualer og den social organisation i perioden 2200-1600 f.Kr. Der fremlægges inskriptioner, som demonstrerer, at de gravlagte konger var af amoritisk afstamning. Studiet afslører, at det ved A’ali begravede amoritiske dynasti fremkom sammen med byggeriet af enorme monumentale højgrave i en de facto kongegravplads omkring år 2000-1900 f.v.t., samt at de definitivt tabte grebet om magten omkring år 1700 f.Kr.

  • - Look up the evidence yourself
    by Peter Gøtzsche
    £5.49

    ‘You do not ask a barber if you need a haircut.’ Most people have heard this expression or something similar. Yet we willingly allow our doctors to subject us to various diagnostic investigations and treatments which may be financially beneficial for themselves. Healthcare is riddled with financial conflicts of interest, and even when your doctor does not directly benefit, there are many other reasons you should be on the alert. In good faith, doctors use many treatments which do not work, and since all treatments will cause harm to some patients, doctors do harm to many people. Therefore, you must look up evidence in order to protect yourself against being harmed. Harm is usually caused by drugs but can also be caused by, for instance, infections, surgeries, Chinese herbs, electroshock, diagnostic testing, and admission to hospitals - dangerous places because of the many errors made there. This book is intended to be a self-help guide to finding the most reliable evidence about diagnostic methods and healthcare treatments. It is written for everyone, even doctors and other health professionals who, like patients, can feel lost when looking for answers to the most pertinent questions on the Internet. – Peter C. Gøtzsche

  • - Textual and Archaeological Approaches to Secrecy
     
    £10.49

    Secrecy and the act of concealing and revealing knowledge effectually segregate the initiated and the uninitiated. The act of sharing or hiding knowledge plays a central role in all human relations private or public, political or religious. This volume explores the concept of secrecy and its implications in Antiquity, Late Antiquity and the Renaissance in eleven cross-disciplinary contributions using both textual and archaeological sources. By exploring the revealing and concealing of knowledge across different social contexts, time frames and geographical locations, the book provides insight into the concept of secrecy and its potential for illuminating the agendas behind identity constructions, political propaganda, literary works, religous practices and shared history.

    „V zimě zavíralo se záhy. Trvávalo čtyry hodiny, než všichni usnuli. Před tím hluk, křik, chechtot, nadávky, řinkot řetězů, dým, smrad, oholené hlavy, cejchované tváře, hadrovité šaty, všechno osypané nadávkami, zdarebačené... ano, tuhý má člověk život! Člověk jest bytost ke všemu přivykající a myslím, že právě to jest nejlepší jeho definice. "Zápisky z mrtvého domu (1862) je román Fyodora Dostojevského s tématikou koncentračního tábora odehrávájící se v gulagu na Sibiři. Jednalo se o jeden z prvních publikovaných příběhů o tomto tématu, který vychází ze čtyř let nucených prácích, kterými si musel Dostojevskij projít ve vězení v Omsku.Tento příběh se soustředí na Alexandra Petroviče Gorjančikovema, gentlemana poslaného do gulagu, který se snaží najít své místo v tomto novém prostředí. Ostatní vězni kteří pocházejí z jiné sociální třídy jsou proti němu. Ale s časem se věci změní, stejně jako i on sám.Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevskij (1821-1881) je ruský spisovatel. Je považován za jednoho z nejvýznamnějších ruských romanopisců všech dob. Inspiroval se mimo jiné i Friedrichem Nietzschem a Jean-Paulem Sartrém.

    This book will help you navigate in the bewildering and often contradictory flood of information about vaccines. There is substantial misinformation about vaccines on the Internet, particularly from those who reject all vaccines, but also from official sources, which are expected to be neutral and objective. The book is based on the best available evidence, and Professor Gøtzsche explains when and why we should not have confidence in the science and official recommendations. Some vaccines are so beneficial - and have saved millions of lives – that we should all get them; some are so poor that many healthcare professionals do not use them for themselves or their families; and some are in-between. We must evaluate carefully each vaccine, one by one, assessing the balance between its benefits and harms, just as we do for other drugs, and then form an opinion about whether we think the vaccine is worth getting or recommending to other people. The book focuses on measles, influenza and HPV but discusses also childhood vaccination programmes and whether mandatory vaccination can be justified. Raising critical questions to vaccines is essential because there are still many unresolved issues. For example, we know virtually nothing about what happens when we use many vaccines and what the long-term effects are on the immune system.

  • - eSports’ incredible journey from dingy basements to sold-out arenas
    by Markus Bernsen & Danny ‘zonic’ Sørensen
    £10.99 - 14.49

    Danny "zonic" Sørensen is head coach of Astralis and one of the most winning Counter-Strike gamers of all-time. In ‘Zonic’ he shares the incredible story about how esports went from dingy internet cafés to become a Billion-Dollar industry of sold-out arenas, fanatical fans and greedy money men. Zonic has played a key role on the journey. With Astralis, he helped build a professional organization where psychologists, dietitians and physiotherapists coach and develop the players. With four Major wins, Astralis is the most winning team in the history of Counter-Strike, and esports teams all over the world are now copying their methods. Danny Sørensen did not take an easy road to the top of professional gaming. Growing up in a run-down area south of Copenhagen, computer games were his way out of crime, and he later had to fight his way past scammers, rivalling gaming clans, Russian oligarchs, teammates' betrayal and charges of cheating to get to the dominant position Astralis now holds. 'Zonic' is also the first behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a major esports brand. We hear about the players’ intense training schedule, huge cash prizes, internal strife, rivalry with other teams and the many power struggles in the rapidly growing market for esports.

    £6.99 - 10.99

    Adolf Verlof runs a sex shop in 1880’s London, but his real profession is even shadier. He’s a so-called "agent provocateur" for the Embassy, whose mission it is to infiltrate and spy on a relatively harmless group of anarchists. His employers are impatiently waiting for the group to do something radical enough that they can use it as an excuse to harden their actions against the many socialist and anarchistic groups that are sprouting up around the country. To move things along, they order Verlof to get the group to plant a bomb at Greenwich Observatory, a place that symboles world order. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in that language after settling in England. His most famous novel is "Heart of Darkness" (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea.

    Bob Dylan’s songs have been the subject of countless interpretations. In fact, Dylan’s work is one of the fastest-growing research areas within the humanities, and the interest has increased dramatically since Dylan’s receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.There is a distinguished history of scholarly work on Dylan. Textual scholars focus on Dylan’s lyrics, parsing out their verbal artistry and identifying their numerous and farflung sources.Historians and biographers try to clarify the details of Dylan’s life and the chronologies that link him with other notable figures and movements. Social scientists have focused on the cultures inspired by Dylan, the institutions and communities of fandom and appreciation which surround him.NEW APPROACHES TO BOB DYLAN break down the disciplinary silos that have kept these lines of work separate, to think about how lyrics, performances, personal history, and mass movements all coincide and shape one another. NEW APPROACHES TO BOB DYLAN is edited by Anne-Marie Mai and contains 16 essays and an interview with Horace Engdahl, The Swedish Academy. Among the contributors are Stephen Greenblatt, Sean Latham, Nina Goss, Johnathan Hodgers, Michael Gray and Gisle Selnes.

Det er mænd, der lever i et evigt opgør: med havet, med hinanden og med de kvinder, de elsker, men først og fremmest med deres egne mørke sider.Havet kræver sin pris af mænd som den fandenivoldske Laurids, der efter et tabt søslag aldrig bliver den samme igen. Og sønnen Albert, der på Stillehavet leder efter sin forsvundne far, men i stedet kommer hjem med et skrumpehoved. Og Knud Erik, som med hovedet fuldt af Alberts skrøner bliver stillet over for et moralsk umuligt valg i Anden Verdenskrig.

  • - Science, technology, society
    by Claus Bossen, Casper Bruun Jensen, Peter Danholt, et al.
    £17.49

    Science Technology Society-studier (STS) forsøger at afdække og beskrive de ofte meget brogede relationer mellem mennesker, ting, videnskab, teknologi og organisation. Der er tale om en forholdsvis ny videnskabelig strømning, der går på tværs af en række traditionelle skillelinjer. Fællesnævneren er, at der ikke sættes skarpe skel mellem videnskab, teknologi og samfund. STS-studier bliver således mere og mere aktuelle i en tid, hvor blandt andet it, bioteknologi og nye organisationsformer ændrer vores måde at opfatte verden på.Introduktion til STS er den første danske grundbog om dette nye felt. Bogen giver en pædagogisk introduktion til STS-studier og den forskelligartede og ofte vanskelige primærlitteratur, der kendetegner feltet. Forfatterne præsenterer blandt andet socialkonstruktivistiske tilgange til videnskab og teknologi, gennemgår aktør-netværksteori og beskriver etnometodologiske, feministiske og posthumanistiske perspektiver på STS-studier.Introduktion til STS henvender sig til undervisere og studerende inden for en bred vifte af fag - fra ingeniør- og sundhedsuddannelserne over sociologi og samfundsfag til filosofi, psykologi og kulturstudierne på universitetet.

    I en skov tæt på hvalsø finder en skovarbejder liget af en kvinde, men hvem er hun? Ifølge retsmedicinerne har hun ligget i skoven et døgns tid, og et stort ar over den ene side af ansigtet burde gøre det nemt at identificere hende. Men ingen har meldt hende savnet, og hun matcher heller ikke nogen på politiets liste over efterlyste personer. Efter fire dage er kriminalassistent Louise Rick - nu leder af Den Særlige Eftersøgningstjeneste - stadig på bar bund. Først da hun beslutter at offentliggøre et foto af kvinden, får hun et spor at gå efter: En ældre dame mener, at det må være Lisemette, som hun for mange år siden passede på en af Åndssvageforsorgens institutioner. Men da Louise opsøger den nu nedlagte institution for at tjekke journalerne, venter der hende en overraskelse. For fortiden viser sig at have en uventet forbindelse til nutiden, og Louise får travlt med at optrevle, hvad der er sket, før det er for sent. Opklaringsarbejdet ripper op i gamle sår – også for Louise, der konfronteres med begivenheder, hun har gjort alt for at glemme.
