Overbetjent Camille Verhoeven er lykkelig gift med den vakre Irène og skal snart bli far. Men tilværelsen blir vendt fullstendig på hodet da han blir satt til å oppklare et ekstremt brutalt dobbeltdrap. Verhoeven har aldri fryktet de uvanlige sakene, men denne etterlater ham alene ansikt til ansikt med en morder som ser ut til å ha forberedt alt. Pressen er raskt og skadefro på banen og setter særlig Verhoeven i et dårlig lys. Så skjer et nytt drap. Mye tyder på at det er en sammenheng. Og mens offentligheten følger saken med argusøyne, starter en duell mellom to menn. Bare én av dem kan komme ut som vinner - den som har minst å tape ...

Hvem kjenner egentlig Alex? Hun er vakker. Sexy. Tøff. Er det derfor hun er blitt kidnappet, innesperret og utsatt for det utenkelig? Overbetjent Camille Verhoeven og hans menn famler i blinde: ingen mistenkte, ingen ledetråd, og håpet svinner fra time til time. Det eneste de vet, er at en kvinne er blitt revet vekk fra fortauet på en gate i Paris og kastet inn i en hvit varebil. Men når politiet finner ut av hvor hun har vært innestengt, er situasjonen langt ifra den de trodde. "Alex" er thrilleren som får det til å gå iskaldt nedover ryggen din. Det handler om morderisk galskap og er drevet av en djevelsk logikk. Du legger den ikke fra deg. "Ja, jeg vet det er en klisjé, men søren heller: Jeg må være så ærlig å si at denne franske kriminalromanen var det svært vanskelig å legge fra seg før den var ferdiglest. (...) Det er en frivol galskap i denne typen krim som gjør en blasert anmelder henrykt og optimistisk: Det går an å fornye krimlitteraturen. (...) Ah, det er godt å få en pause fra nordisk krim, engelske landsbymord og amerikanske superhelter." Lars Helge Nilsen, Bergens Tidende "Mørk, fransk juvel. (...) en perfekt syntese av et enkelt, impresjonistisk språk og en genialt uttenkt intrige. (...) «Alex» er en smart roman, en klok roman. (...) Franske Pierre Lemaitres første krim er nesten nødt til å bli en av 2015s beste." Ola A. Hegdal, Dagens Næringsliv

The book describes a formalised and implemented parser for Norwegian which is related to Government and Binding Theory (GB theory). Particular attention is paid to empirical phenomena which have been problematic for many parsing systems for natural language (e.g. parasitic gaps, crossing dependencies, extractions from relative clauses). The relation between the GB model and theoretical constructs from GB on the one hand and the processing system (the parser) on the other is another issue discussed at length in the book.

This book introduces international bureaucracy as a key field of study for public administration and also rediscovers it as an essential ingredient in the study of international organisations. To what extent, how and why do international bureaucracies challenge and supplement the inherent Westphalian intergovernmental order based on territorial sovereignty? To what extent, how and why do international bureaucracies supplement the existing international intergovernmental order with a multi-dimensional international order subjugated by a compound set of decision-making dynamics? International bureaucracies constitute a distinct and increasingly important feature of public administration studies. However, the role of international bureaucracies has been largely neglected in most social science sub-disciplines. This book takes a first step into a third generation of international organisation (IO) studies. It will be of immense value to academics in politics and international relations as well as practitioners in public administration in domestic governments and international organizations.

Torbjorn L. Knutsen introduces ideas on international relations expressed by thinkers from High Middle Ages to the present day and traces the development of four ever-present themes: war, peace, wealth and power. The book counters the view that international relations has no theoretical tradition and shows that scholars, soldiers and statesmen have been speculating about the subject for the last 700 years. Beginning with the roots of the state and the concept of sovereignty in the Middle Ages, the author draws upon the insights of outstanding political thinkers - from Machiavelli and Hobbes to Hegel, Rousseau, and Marx and contemporary thinkers such as Woodrow Wilson, Lenin, Morgenthau and Walt - who profoundly influenced the emergence of a discrete discipline of international relations in the twentieth century. Fully revised and updated, the final section embraces more recent approaches to the study of international relations, most notably postmodernism and ecologism.

Waterfronts, the unique places where land and water meet, are a finite resource, embodying the special history and character of each city. The last decades have witnessed profound changes along abandoned or underused waterfronts, bringing in new pedestrian areas, new business opportunities, and new vitality. This trend is accelerating in cities around the globe. WaterfrontPromenade Design seeks to answer to the question of how we can go about rejuvenating waterfronts by promoting good landscape planning and design. In total, 34 great waterfront design practices were selected from all over the world, each with their own unique way of solving the problems posed by their allocated sites, social conditions, and public policies. All resulted in more vibrant, accessible, resilient, and culturally rich public spaces, attuned to these needs. In order to strengthen the waterfront's coherence and connection, this book pays special attention to the design of traversable space along waterfronts, ensuring that promenades are maintained as pedestrian and cyclists-friendly zones. Based on in-depth analysis, this book provides useful design and planning approaches for professionals, decision-makers, and scholars.

This book provides a framework for evaluating big data and cloud computing based on how they evolve to fit users' needs in developing countries in key areas, such as agriculture and education. The authors discuss how this framework can be utilized by businesses, governments, and consumers to accelerate economic growth and overcome information and communication barriers. By examining the ways in which cloud computing can drive social, economic, and environmental transformation, readers gain a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges these technologies offer. The authors also provide an authoritative and up-to-date account of big data's diffusion into a wide range of developing economies, such as Brazil and China, illustrating key concepts through in-depth case studies. Special attention is paid to economic development in the context of the new Sustainable Development Goals formulated by the United Nations, introducing readers to the most modern standard of economic evaluation. Students of information management, entrepreneurship, and development, as well as policy makers, researchers, and practitioners, will find Big Data and Cloud Computing for Development an interesting read and a useful reference source.

Metaethics is the inquiry into the nature of morality (or ethics, I use the words 'morality', 'morals', and 'ethics' as synonyms). When we pass moral judgements, what kind of claims are we then making? I speak of this as the semantic metaethical question. a re there moral facts, to be discovered by us and existing independently of our thoughts and conceptualisation? I speak of this as the ontological or me- physical metaethical question. a nd, if there are, can we know about them; and, if we can, how do we get this kind of knowledge? I speak of this as the epistemic metaethical question. a ll these metaethical questions, the semantic, the ontological, and the epistemic ones, are raised and discussed in this book, but they are not the core questions raised. I have been more concerned with another kind of questions, which deserve to be called metaethical as well: what are the problems of morality? a re there many different moral questions, or, do they all, in the final analysis, reduce to only a few, or perhaps just one? t his question is of special importance to a non-naturalist objectivist and realist like the present author, who believes that we do make truth-claims when we pass moral judgements and who believes that there is a truth in these matters so that we must face the possibility that even our most cherished moral judgements may be false.

The poems in Russell Thorburn's Somewhere We'll Leave the World are fluid and masterful with a flow that captures an authentic consciousness. These poems breathe and allow the reader breathing room. Powerful images and deft endings arrive like the best kind of emotional left hook-the kind that leaves you wanting more.This book is for long-walkers and dreamers who don't mind the cold or heat or the miles ahead. The reader is taken on a journey through snowy woods, stopping to confront a wolf or meet with Jim Harrison. Divided into four sections, Somewhere We'll Leave the World draws on the poet's own experiences while imagining chance encounters with fictional characters and personal heroes. Before long, it is obvious to the reader that every moment is up for grabs-a late night viewing of Hell Is for Heroes, a drive down Woodward Avenue in a friend's Volkswagen, a hike through the Mojave National Preserve. Through the book's filmic scenes, imagine Wim Wenders behind the camera as the poet re-creates the scenes of his own life. In good company with the likes of Charles Bukowski and James Wright, Thorburn tips his hat to those who have come before him, while blazing his own winding and fantastical trail. This thoroughly unique poetry collection gives us an honest and lyrical assessment of national wounds. Fans of surreal poetry will relish Thorburn's work.
