I forbindelse med sitt 150-årsjubileum i 2002 har Den Polytekniske Forening bedt fire kjente forfattere om å skrive hver sitt essay. Oppgaven har vært å belyse drivkreftene bak utviklingen i Norge de siste 150 årene og gi oss tanker om hva de neste tiårene kan bringe. - Hva har drevet utviklingen av Norge de siste 150 årene? Hva kom først, ideene eller ny teknologi? - Vil utviklingen av superteknologier føre til at mennesker av vår type relativt snart dør ut . for å bli erstattet av "Robo sapiens"? - Vi er blitt stadig rikere her i landet, men har vi det godt? Vil vi i så fall fortsatt oppleve bedre livskvalitet? - Grunnloven har i dag tapt det meste av sin rettslige kraft, Stortinget er i praksis tilnærmet suverent. Vil vi egentlig ha en grunnlov? Fakler . om vitenskap og samfunn er en bok som stimulerer til debatt, og som er i tråd med slagordet til Den Polytekniske Forening: "Den første plog må være tankens."

<p>Jurister tänker ofta på grundlagen enbart i rättsligt avseende. I Sverige har debatten tidvis givit intrycket att de viktigaste frågorna i den konstitutionella debatten gäller domstolarnas roll, inte minst lagprövningsrätten och regeringsformens krav att grundlagsstridigheten måste vara "uppenbar". Detta perspektiv är alltför snävt för att förstå grundlagens roll i samhället.<br> Politiker och samhällsvetare betraktar ofta grundlagen i ett renodlat politiskt perspektiv. Men om grundlagen endast uppfattas som ett slags politiskt program blir den lätt perifer i människors medvetande. En grundlag som inte kan åberopas av enskilda medborgare förlorar i folklig förankring och kan därför knappast tjäna som ett effektivt redskap för politisk handling.</p> <p>Grundlagens roll i samhället kan bäst förstås om både politiska och rättsliga perspektiv uppmärksammas. Därför innehåller boken bidrag från både jurister och statsvetare. Den bidrar till forskningen om konstitutionella förhållanden i Norden. Tyngdpunkten ligger på grundlagens roll inom områden där domstolar har lite eller inget att säga till om: Hur avgörs grundlagens innehåll i dessa fall? Vilken betydelse får argumentation om grundlagens innebörd?</p> <p>Eivind Smith är professor i offentlig rätt vid Universitetet i Oslo.</p> <p>Övriga författare: <i>Sverre Blandhol, Thomas Bull, Jens Peter Christensen, Matti Niemivuo, Trond Nordby, Fredrik Sterzel, Stig Strömholm, Palle Svensson, Kaarlo Tuori<i></i></i>

The single most influential culinary trend of our time is fast food. It has spawned an industry that has changed eating, the most fundamental of human activities. From the first flipping of burgers in tiny shacks in the western United States to the forging of neon signs that spell out "Pizza Hut" in Cyrillic or Arabic scripts, the fast food industry has exploded into dominance, becoming one of the leading examples of global corporate success. And with this success it has become one of the largest targets of political criticism, blamed for widespread obesity, cultural erasure, oppressive labor practices, and environmental destruction on massive scales.

INGEN FIENDTLIGE HENSIKTER Historien om det tyske overfallet på Bergen 9. april 1940 Den første meldingen om at fremmede krigsskip trengte seg inn på Bergens krigshavn ble mottatt på Marineholmen kl. 01.00. Det tyske overfallet var i gang. Fra minutt til minutt tar forfatteren leserne med på utviklingen av angrepet og de norske mottiltakene. Begivenhetene utløste en krise. Som så ofte før dekket ikke eksisterende planer den situasjonen som oppsto. Her kom de norske offiserene til kort. Forfatteren trekker frem en rekke nye opplysninger som viser at det ikke sto så dårlig til med det norske forsvaret som vi tidligere har trodd. Viljen til motstand var imidlertid ikke like sterk hos alle. Gjennom bruk av rapporter, dagbøker og andre kilder kommer man aktørene tett inn på livet. Leserne må være forberedt på en detaljrikdom som blir gjort gjenstand for en systematisk analyse. Forfatteren er ikke redd for å gå nye veier i beskrivelsen av det som skjedde i de tidlige morgentimene en tirsdag for over 80 år siden.

Explores the rich and varied LGBT cinema and television of Mexico since the new millennium.Queer Mexico: Cinema and Television since 2000 provides critical analysis of both mainstream and independent audiovisual works, many of them little known, produced in Mexico since the turn of the twenty-first century. In the book, author Paul Julian Smith aims to tease out the symbiotic relationship between culture and queerness in Mexico. Smith begins with the year 2000 because of the political shift that happened within the government-the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was voted out of national office after over seventy years in power. Judicial and social changes for LGBT Mexicans came in the wake of what was known at the time as simply ""the change"" (""el cambio"") at the start of the millennium, bringing about an increased visibility and acknowledgment of the LGBT community.Divided into five chapters, Queer Mexico demonstrates the diversity of both representation and production processes in the Mexican film and television industry. It attempts also to reconstruct a queer cultural field for Mexico that incorporates multiple genres and techniques. The first chapter looks at LGBT festivals, porn production, and a web-distributed youth drama, claimed by its makers to be the first wholly gay series made in Mexico. The second chapter examines selected features and shorts by Mexico's sole internationally distributed art house director, Julian Hernandez. The third chapter explores the rising genre of documentary on transgender themes. The fourth chapter charts the growing trend of a gay, lesbian, or trans-focused mainstream cinema. The final chapter addresses the rich and diverse history of queer representation in Mexico's dominant television genre and, arguably, national narrative: the telenovela. The first book to come out of the Queer Screens series, Queer Mexico is a groundbreaking monograph for anyone interested in media or LGBT studies, especially as it relates to the culture of Latin America.

Aromatic, refreshing, delicious and a feast for the eyes, the generously-sized and creatively garnished `gin tonica' Spanish-style drink is taking the cocktail world by storm.Spaniards love their gin and tonics. In Spain, the bartender doesn't ask you what you want to drink, he asks you how you want your gin and tonic prepared. This simplest of drinks - just gin, tonic, ice and a garnish - is now considered the national drink of Spain. The trend started in the north of Spain, in Basque country, where you can walk into a bar and upon ordering you are presented with a cart teeming with gin and tonic options to create your very own bespoke drink. A beautiful cocktail with a variety of herb and flower garnishes, a Spanish-style gin and tonic or `gin tonica', is made with a premium gin and the best quality tonic water, combined with bitters and various herbs, spices, flowers and fruits that will complement the botanicals of a specific gin. It is served over ice in an oversized balloon glass - the idea being that the shape enables the drinker to enjoy all the lovely aromas their drink gives off. For a cocktail with only two ingredients, the flavour potential is staggering! Making a gin tonica is an intricate process, sometimes taking a barman as long as 15 minutes to deliver the ideal drink. The ice has to be dense so that it melts slowly, the glass might be spritzed with a fine layer of citrus oil, chilled to perfection, with the tonic poured in delicately. No detail is ignored, the wait is part of the experience, and the result is absolutely delicious. Attention to detail and respect for the classic is what truly elevates the Spanish gin tonica above all others. With more gin brands and styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 inspired recipes here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover the joy of the gin tonica - saludos!

At present, `naturalism' is arguably the dominant trend in both Anglo-American and European philosophy. Owing to the influence of the works of W.V.O. Quine, Wilfred Sellars, and Hillary Putnam, among others, naturalism both as a methodological and ontological position has become one of the mainstays of contemporary analytic approaches to knowledge, mind and ethics. From the early 1990s onward, European philosophy in the English-speaking world has been witnessing a turn from the philosophies of the subjects of phenomenology, hermeneutics and existentialism and a revival of a certain kind of vitalism, whether Bergsonian or Nietzschean, and also of a certain kind of materialism that is close in spirit to Spinoza's Ethics and to the naturalism and monism of the early Ionian thinkers. This book comprises essays written by experts in both the European and the Anglo-American traditions such as John Sallis, David Papineau, David Cerbone, Dan Zahavi, Paul Patton, Bernhard Weiss, Jack Reynolds and Benedict Smith, who explore the limit of naturalism and the debate between naturalism and phenomenology. This book also considers the relation between Deleuze's philosophy and naturalism as well as the critique of phenomenology by speculative realism. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies.

In recent years American foreign policy has taken a unilateralist turn. Confident of Americaa s economic supremacy and cultural magnetism, the Bush administration has embarked on an ambitious mission to further American interests and reshape global order. In this compelling and insightful book, Christian Reus--Smit offers a sustained critique of the Bush Doctrine and its impact on the United States and the world community. Far from being a realistic response to the challenges of the post--September 11 global order, Reus--Smit contends that the current neo--conservative approach to foreign policy is deeply idealist and naive. He argues that the quest to re--establish US hegemony in the contemporary world is based on a flawed understanding of the nature of power and the complexities of the global system. This has led Washington to pursue policies ill--suited to addressing current sources of global disorder, such as intra--state conflict and transnational violence, inequality, alienation and environmental degradation. If this trend continues, Reus--Smit warns that it will have serious implications for global order and justice in the 21st Century.
