Working with Rock Art
This volume contains cutting edge contributions that consider new approaches to three areas: the documentation of rock art; its interpretation using indigenous knowledge; and the presentation of rock art. Working with Rock Art is the first edited volume to consider each of these areas in a theoretical rather than a technical fashion, and it therefore makes a significant contribution to the discipline. The volume aims to promote the sharing of new experiences between leading researchers in the field. While the geographic focus is truly global, there is a dominant north-south axis with strong representation from researchers in southern Africa and northern Europe, two leading centres for new approaches in rock art research. Working with Rock Art opens up a long overdue dialogue about shared experiences between these two centres, and a number of the chapters are the first published results of new collaborative research. Since this volume covers the recording, interpretation and presentation of rock art, it will attract a wide audience of researchers, heritage managers and students, as well as anyone interested in the field of rock art studies.

Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
<p>The magical Peter Pan comes to the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael. He teaches them to fly, then takes them through the sky to Never-Never Land, where they find Red Indians, wolves, Mermaids and... Pirates. The leader of the pirates is the sinister Captain Hook. His hand was bitten off by a crocodile, who, as Captain Hook explains 'liked me arm so much that he has followed me ever since, licking his lips for the rest of me'. After lots of adventures, the story reaches its exciting climax as Peter, Wendy and the children do battle with Captain Hook and his band.</p><p>Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy who never grows any older. He escapes his human form and flies to Kensington Gardens, where all his happy memories are, and meets the fairies, the thrushes, and Old Caw the crow. The fairies think he is too human to be allowed to stay in after Lock-out time, so he flies off to an island which divides the Gardens from the more grown-up Hyde Park - Peter's adventures, and how he eventually meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by Arthur Rackham.</p>

Imitation in International Relations : Observational Learning, Analogies and Foreign Policy in Russia and the Ukraine
Imitation and emulation are mechanisms of competition in international relations that are theoretically posited but empirically diffuse. Goldsmith provides a trenchant overview of the extant literature and evidence, finding that specification and operationalization problems may explain the disconnect. Providing a distinctive and generalizable approach drawing on concepts from psychology and organizational behavior, this book refines theories of foreign policy to include observational learning to identify when imitation is likely and what behaviors are most imitated. Both statistical and case s

Cracking Complexity
Foreword by: Marshall Goldsmith, #1 NY Times bestselling author, Thinkers50-#1 Executive Coach and the only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the WorldComplexity has met its match! Today, organizations are grappling with ambiguity, volatility and paradox surrounding the challenges they face. This is complexity. But too many leaders approach complexity the wrong way - they push their people harder and harder and tackle problems one-at-a-time over months, sometimes even years and nearly always in a linear fashion. It's like setting a pot of water on "low" and waiting for it to boil. To solve the seemingly intractable challenges that leaders bang their heads against for months - to get the metaphorical water to boil - you must generate a high amount of heat very quickly. In this book, the authors share their proven formula for dramatically shortening the process and solving an organization's toughest challenges in mere days.

Capital
Acclaimed artist Kenneth Goldsmith s thousand-page homage to New York City Here is akaleidoscopic assemblage and poetic history of New York: an unparalleled and original homage to the city, composed entirely of quotations. Drawn from a huge array of sources histories, memoirs, newspaper articles, novels, government documents, emails and organized into interpretive categories that reveal the philosophical architecture of the city, "Capital"is the ne plus ultra of books on the ultimate megalopolis. It is also a book of experimental literature that transposes Walter Benjamin s unfinished magnum opus of literary montage on the modern city, "The Arcades Project," from 19th-century Paris to 20th-century New York, bringing the streets and its inhabitants to life in categories such as Sex, Central Park, Commodity, Loneliness, Gentrification, Advertising, and Mapplethorpe. "Capital"is a book designed to fascinate and to fail for can a megalopolis truly ever be written? Can a history, no matter how extensive, ever be comprehensive? Each reading of this book, and of New York, is a unique and impossible project."

Uncreative Writing
Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confronted with an unprecedented amount of texts and language, writers have the opportunity to move beyond the creation of new texts and manage, parse, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist. In addition to explaining his concept of uncreative writing, which is also the name of his popular course at the University of Pennsylvania, Goldsmith reads the work of writers who have taken up this challenge. Examining a wide range of texts and techniques, including the use of Google searches to create poetry, the appropriation of courtroom testimony, and the possibility of robo-poetics, Goldsmith joins this recent work to practices that date back to the early twentieth century. Writers and artists such as Walter Benjamin, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Andy Warhol embodied an ethos in which the construction or conception of a text was just as important as the resultant text itself. By extending this tradition into the digital realm, uncreative writing offers new ways of thinking about identity and the making of meaning.

Yt etter evne, få etter behov: roman
Kven tar ansvaret ingen eigentleg klarer? I «Yt etter evne, få etter behov» får vi eit innblikk i kvardagen til ein heilt vanleg familie som har slutta å vere vanleg. Lea ligg i senga og spelar Hay Day på iPaden og lurer på om ho har ME. Søstera Rakel balanserer på stram line, med åleineomsorg for psykisk utviklingshemma Benjamin, som Lea ikkje makta å vere mor for lenger. Mor til søstrene, Gudrun, er opptatt med å vere der for dottera Linda og hennar familie. Ein dag då Benjamin skal leverast etter eit avlastingsopphald, er ikkje Rakel der for å ta imot han. Med «Yt etter evne, få etter behov» har Olaug Nilssen skrive ein humoristisk og alvorleg roman, og ei forlenging av tematikken i «Tung tids tale» frå 2017: Kven tar ansvaret ingen eigentleg klarer, i vår individualistiske tid? Og finst det balanse i rekneskapen mellom plikt og fridom blant menneska, ikkje minst blant medlemmane i ein familie? FRÅ BOKMELDINGAR: «Sylskarpt familieportrett [...] Ein knallsterk roman om kva som skjer når behovet sprengjer alle rammer [...] svært underhaldande» Marta Norheim, NRK «så nådeløst og forståelsesfullt skrevet at leseren gisper etter luft.» Bjørn Gabrielsen, DN «Sterk og viktig lesing [...] Et av bokhøstens høydepunkt!» Janne Bjørgan, BA «et sterkt driv og en kraft» Guri Hjeltnes, VG «rasende og humoristisk med noe viktig på hjertet» Gro Jørstad Nilssen, BT «et glitrende godt portrett av en familie på bristepunktet.» Maya Troberg Djuve, Dagbladet «en familieroman om evige verdier som ansvar, oppofrelse, tro og kommunikasjon» Frode Johansen Riopelle, Morgenbladet «drivende, spissformulert, og humoristisk» Astrid Fosvold, Vårt Land «et varmt blikk både for dem som orker og de som ikke orker.» Anne Merethe K.

The beekeeper of Aleppo
'This is a novel of international significance. Courageous, provocative, haunting, it will open our eyes' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz In the midst of war, he found love In the midst of darkness, he found courage In the midst of tragedy, he found hope What will you find from his story? Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all - and perhaps this is the hardest thing they face - they must journey to find each other again. Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling. - - - - - - - 'This book dips below the deafening headlines, and tells a true story with subtlety and power' Esther Freud 'A beautiful novel, intelligent, thoughtful; and relevant. I'm recommending this book to everyone I care about. So I'm recommending this book to you' Benjamin Zephaniah 'This compelling tale had me gripped with its compassion, its sensual style and its onward and lively urge for resolution' Daljit Nagra 'Powerful, thought-provoking and beautifully crafted' Choice Magazine
