Nineteenth-century Britain witnessed a dramatic increase in its urban population, as a hitherto largely rural economy transformed itself into an urban one. Though the political and social issues arising from these events are well-known, little is known about how the British legal process coped with the everyday strains that emerged from the unprecedented scale of these changes. This book explores the river pollution dilemma faced by the British courts during the second half of the nineteenth century when the courts had to confront the new incompatible realities arising from the scale of untrea

How does modern science bear upon such ultimate questions as the origin of the universe and the existence of God? "Cosmos, Bios, Theos" is a portfolio of opinions and arguments from 60 scientists, including 24 Nobel Prize winners, on the relationshiip between the scientific enterprise and the religious view of reality. "Cosmos, Bios, Theos" makes no claim to being a representative survey - the scientists were chosen because they were believed to be at least open to the possibility of a religious view of reality. But their specific views turned out to be surprisingly diverse, and often both original and persuasive. All but a few of the contributions take the form of the scientist's sometimes detailed - replies to the following six questions - what do you think should be the relationship between religion and science?; what is your view on the origin of the universe - both on a scientific and - if you see the need - on a metaphysical level?; what is your view on the origin of life - both on the scientific level and - if you see the need - on a metaphysicla level? what is your views on the origin of "Homo sapiens?"; how should science - and the scientist - approach origin questions, specifically the origin of the Universe and the origin of life? Many prominent scientists - including Darwin, Einstein and Planck - have considered the concept of God very seriously. What are your thoughts on the concept of God and on the existence of God? The contributors are astronomers, mathematicians, physicists, biologists, chemists, and philosophers. They include - Sir John Eccles, Antony Flew (in a debate with H.D.Lewis and Hugo Meynell), Robert Jastrow, b.D.Josephson, Henry Margenau, Sir Neville Mott, Arno Penzias, Ilya Prigogine, Abdus Salam, Arthur Schawlow, George Snell, Victor Weisskopf, and Eugene Wigner.

I 2016 er det presidentvalg i USA. En ny president skal velges etter Barack Obama. Av de 43 presidenter USA har hatt siden 1789, er det noen få som har satt varige, politiske spor etter seg. De aller fleste var tilfredse med å nyte rampelyset, presidentlivet eller lage skandaler. I sin nye bok skriver USA-eksperten Ole O. Moen om de fem presidenter han mener gjennomførte de største forandringer i det amerikanske samfunnet: Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson og Ronald Reagan. Han skildrer deres liv, deres politiske betydning og de omfattende forandringer deres politikk førte til. Ofte var dette store endringer som brøt med fortiden og satte fokus på menneskerettigheter, økonomi og liberalisering av samfunnet. USA ville ikke vært det landet er i dag uten disse fem reformpolitikerne.

The bold and boundlessly original debut novel from the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Synecdoche, New York. LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE • “A dyspeptic satire that owes much to Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon . . . propelled by Kaufman’s deep imagination, considerable writing ability and bull’s-eye wit."—The Washington Post “An astonishing creation . . . riotously funny . . . an exceptionally good [book].”—The New York Times Book Review • “Kaufman is a master of language . . . a sight to behold.”—NPR NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND MEN’S HEALTH B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, neurotic and underappreciated film critic (failed academic, filmmaker, paramour, shoe salesman who sleeps in a sock drawer), stumbles upon a hitherto unseen film made by an enigmatic outsider—a film he’s convinced will change his career trajectory and rock the world of cinema to its core. His hands on what is possibly the greatest movie ever made—a three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece that took its reclusive auteur ninety years to complete—B. knows that it is his mission to show it to the rest of humanity. The only problem: The film is destroyed, leaving him the sole witness to its inadvertently ephemeral genius. All that’s left of this work of art is a single frame from which B. must somehow attempt to recall the film that just might be the last great hope of civilization. Thus begins a mind-boggling journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of a psyche as lushly Kafkaesque as it is atrophied by the relentless spew of Twitter. Desperate to impose order on an increasingly nonsensical existence, trapped in a self-imposed prison of aspirational victimhood and degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to re-create the lost masterwork while attempting to keep pace with an ever-fracturing culture of “likes” and arbitrary denunciations that are simultaneously his bête noire and his raison d’être. A searing indictment of the modern world, Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence itself—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.

Den 20. januar 2017 tok Donald J. Trump over som USAs 45. president. Hans forgjengere har vært ulike personligheter. Noen kom fra trange kår, andre var født med en sølvskje i munnen. Noen blir husket av ettertiden - andre blir glemt. Noen havnet i vanære, andre ble ikoner og forbilder. Noen gikk til krig, mens andre skapte fred. Noen ble husket for skandaler i privatlivet, mens andre tilbrakte sine presidentår i politisk strid. Noen bare administrerte USA, andre reformerte verdens eneste supermakt. Professor Ole O. Moen tegner spennende portretter av dem alle - fra George Washington til Donald J. Trump. Les om presidentene fra vår nære fortid: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan og om USAs første ikke-hvite president, Barack Obama, som fikk Nobels fredspris i Oslo i 2009. Les også om nasjonens fedre: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson og James Madison - og om partifedrene Andrew Jackson og Abraham Lincoln. Og les om de ukjente: Zachary Taylor, Rutherford B. Hayes og William Harrison. Og alle de andre. Portrettene i denne boken på 784 sider inneholder fakta, politiske analyser, anekdoter og sitater. Professor i amerikansk kulturkunnskap Ole O. Moen - som har arbeidet med USA som spesialfelt i over 40 år - forklarer også hvilken betydning hver enkelt president hadde for sin samtid.

The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Travel Writing offers readers an insight into the scope and range of perspectives that one encounters in this field of writing. Encompassing a diverse range of texts and styles, performances and forms, postcolonial travel writing recounts journeys undertaken through places, cultures, and communities that are simultaneously living within, through, and after colonialism in its various guises. The Companion is organized into three parts. Part I, 'Departures', addresses key theoretical issues, topics, and themes. Part II, 'Performances', examines a range of conventional and emerging travel performances and styles in postcolonial travel writing. Part III, 'Peripheries' continues to shift the analysis of travel writing from the traditional focus on Eurocentric contexts. This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of developments in the field, appealing to students and teachers of travel writing and postcolonial studies.
