'Risk Governance is a tour de force. Every risk manager, every risk analyst, every risk researcher must read this book - it is the demarcation point for all further advances in risk policy and risk research. Renn provides authoritative guidance on how to manage risks based on a definitive synthesis of the research literature. The skill with which he builds practical recommendations from solid science is unprecedented.' Thomas Dietz, Director, Environmental Science and Policy Program, Michigan State University, USA 'A masterpiece of new knowledge and wisdom with illustrative examples of tested applications to realworld cases. The book is recommendable also to interested students in different disciplines as a timely textbook on 'risk beyond risk'.' Norio Okada, Full Professor and Director at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Japan 'There are classic environmental works such as The Tragedy of the Commons by Hardin, Risk Society by Beck, The Theory of Communicative Action by Habermas, and the seminal volumes by Ostrom on governing the commons. Renn's book fits right into this series of important milestones of environmental studies.'Jochen Jaeger, Professor at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada 'Risk Governance provides a valuable survey of the whole field of risk and demonstrates how scientific, economic, political and civil society actors can participate in inclusive risk governance.' Jobst Conrad, Senior Scientist, Social Science Research Center Berlin, Germany 'Renn offers a remarkably fair-minded and systematic approach to bringing together the diverse fields that have something to say about 'risk'. Risk Governance moves us along the path from the noisy, formative stage of thinking about risk to one with a stronger empirical, theoretical, and analytical foundation.' Baruch Fischhoff, PhD, Howard Heinz University Professor, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA 'I cannot describe how impressed I am at the breadth and coherence of Renn's career's work! Written with remarkable clarity and minimal technical jargon...[this] should be required reading in risk courses!'John Graham, former director of the Harvard Risk Center and former deputy director of the Office of Budget and Management of the Unites States Administration This book, for the first time, brings together and updates the groundbreaking work of renowned risk theorist and researcher Ortwin Renn, integrating the major disciplinary concepts of risk in the social, engineering and natural sciences. The book opens with the context of risk handling before flowing through the core topics of assessment, evaluation, perception, management and communication, culminating in a look at the transition from risk management to risk governance and a glimpse at a new understanding of risk in (post)modern societies.

«Jeg har tenkt å gjøre denne boka så morsom som jeg kan.» Det er utgangspunktet når John Cleese endelig har bestemt seg for å skrive om sitt mangslungne liv. Dette er historien om hvordan en høy, tynn unggutt fra Weston-super-Mare i sørvest-England ble en selverklært legende. På veien dit beskriver John Cleese de første nervepirrende sceneøyeblikkene, det mildt sagt avvikende familielivet, den første yrkeserfaringen som lærer i fag han ikke hadde peiling på og møtet med mannen som skulle bli skrivepartner i over tjue år, Graham Chapman. Reisen fortsatte med manusskriving for storkanoner som Peter Sellers, David Frost og Marty Feldman, for så å kulminere med etableringen av Monty Python. Underveis deler John Cleese sine tanker om komediens natur, vannskiens forbannelse, betydningen av å kunne den engelske kongerekken på rams og andre mer eller mindre vesentlige temaer. John Cleese er like slagferdig og humoristisk på trykk som i levende live og det er bare å glede seg for alle som setter pris på stor humor. " ... mannen er morsom - og hans utstrakte selvironi gjør dette til underholdende lesning" Sindre Hovdenakk, VG "Livlig, latterlig underholdende og til tider eksplosivt morsomt!" Sunday Express "Ofte hysterisk, av og til poetisk og alltid ettertenksom ... En morsom bragd." The Herald

Dette er den første boka om Hannibal "The cannibal" Lecter. En seriemorder er løs. Han biter, kvester og dreper på bestialsk vis. Han er den røde drage.

Patrick Bateman er en på alle måter vellykket 26-åring fra New York. Men han er også drapsmann. En psykopatisk massemorder som mishandler og dreper med kaldt blod, på samme pedantiske måte som han utfører morgentoalettet. Romanen er et oppgjør med en livsstil og et samfunn på vei mot undergangen.

Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother's death, intent only on wrapping up that dismal part of her life. There is nothing here for her; she wonders if there ever was. The house of her childhood is stuffed full of useless things, her mother's presence already fading. And perhaps, had she not found the small stash of letters, the truth would never have come to light. 40 years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet but for the tireless wind that circles her as she hurries further into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea. She has no sense of where she is going, only that she must keep on. This compelling new novel confirms Graham Norton's status as a fresh, literary voice, bringing his clear-eyed understanding of human nature and its darkest flaws.

The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama; and yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke - a former love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village's dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated PJ struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his life, he unearths a community's worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regret. Darkly comic, touching and at times profoundly sad. Graham Norton employs his acerbic wit to breathe life into a host of lovable characters, and explore - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human.
