D.H. Lawrence remains one of the most popular and studied authors of the 20th century. This book is a comprehensive but easy to use reference guide to Lawrence's life, works and critical reception. The volume has been systematically structured to convey a coherent overall sense of Lawrence's acheivement and critical reputation, but it is also designed to enable the reader who may be interested in only one aspect of Lawrence's career, perhaps even in only one of his novels or stories, to find relevant information quickly and easily without having to read large portions of the rest of the text. The book begins with an original biography by John Worthen, one of the foremost authorities on Lawrence's life and work. The chapters that follow provide separate entries for all of Lawrence's works, except for individual poems and paintings, with critical summaries, discussions of characters, and details of settings. There is also a complete overview of Lawrence and film, with a detailed listing of film adaptations of his works and of criticism relating to them.Each section of the book provides comprehensive primary and secondary bibliographical data, including citations for the most current scholarly studies. Maps and chronologies further trace Lawrence's travels and his development over time.

For thousands of years and across many cultures, mankind has held folk beliefs about the existence of the doppelganger, a German word meaning ""double walker."" According to these beliefs, everyone is thought to have a double, an identical second self that is often the antithesis of one's original identity and is usually considered an omen of misfortune or death. The theme of the double has inspired works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Poe, de Maupassant, Dostoevsky and others, and has been the basis for classic films in the genres of mystery, horror and science fiction.This theme is examined in film noir and neo-noir, with a special emphasis on the works of Alfred Hitchcock. In the realm of horror, films by Mario Bava, Roger Corman, David Crobnenberg, George Romero and other masters of the macabre are discussed. The theme also appears in many science fiction classics, from Fritz Lang's Metropolis to James Cameron's Avatar. Over one hundred films by acclaimed directors such as Robert Siodmak, Don Siegel, John Frankenheimer, Terry Gilliam, Brian De Palma, Roman Polanski and others are analyzed in this critical survey of one of the most enduring and mysterious motifs in cinema history.

This book traces the theory of violence from nineteenth-century symmetrical warfare through today's warfare of electronics and unbalanced numbers.

Denne boken er skrevet for de som arbeider med mennesker og de som utdanner seg til yrker der de skal jobbe med andre. Det er en innføring i profesjonsetikk. I mange år har Paul Leer-Salvesen undervist og veiledet studenter som forbereder seg til et yrkesliv der de kommer tett på andre mennesker fordi de har noe å gi dem: kunnskap, ferdigheter, helsetjenester, omsorg, råd og beskyttelse. I slike forhold er etikk og etisk refleksjon helt nødvendig. For vi bærer alle det moralske ansvaret for det vi gjør mot andre, også på jobben. Boken inneholder etisk teori og øvelser i etisk analyse fordi den er ment å kunne brukes som lærebok på flere profesjonsutdanninger. Derfor vil forskjellige profesjoner komme frem i caser og eksempler: lærer, barnehagelærer, sosionom, barnevernsarbeider, sykepleier, lege, vernepleier, terapeut, politi, fengselsbetjent og advokat. Det er store forskjeller mellom disse yrkene, men det er også likhetspunkter. Dessuten blir det stadig viktigere at profesjonene gjør seg kjent med hverandre og øver seg opp til å samarbeide. Det er ikke minst blitt tydelig i koronakrisen med de store utfordringer den har gitt profesjonene. Paul Leer-Salvesen har skrevet romaner, barne- og ungdomsbøker og fagbøker. Han har jobbet som journalist, forfatter, fengselsprest og professor i teologi og etikk.

Paul Moxnes, professor i psykologi, dukker i denne boken ned i de store spørsmål og konstaterer at personlighet og atferd kan endres og, hvis forholdene legges til rette, skape bedre liv, ledelse og samspill. «Hvem er jeg?» og «Hvem ønsker jeg å være?» er viktige spørsmål for voksne som ønsker å forstå seg selv og videreutvikle seg selv. Siden boken tar for seg store og viktige tema for hver enkelt av oss, blir den lærerik, treffende og utfordrende. Fordi Moxnes i tillegg skriver godt og våger å utlevere seg i så stor grad som han gjør, er boken lettlest. Boken henvender seg til alle som vil lære om ulike sider ved sin personlighet enten det er i privat eller profesjonell sammenheng. Boken vil være nyttig for medarbeidere, ledere, personalansvarlige, coacher og konsulenter som ønsker å forstå og forbedre seg selv og det mellommenneskelige samspillet, og for studenter i psykologi og pedagogikk, lederutdanninger og personaladministrative utdanninger.

Hvem er vi? Hvor kommer vi fra? Hvordan skal vi leve for å handle på beste måte i denne verden? Slike spørsmål har mennesker undret seg over i flere tusen år, og vi stiller dem fortsatt. ?Handling, valg og ansvar undersøker hvilke svar som gjennom historien har blitt gitt på hva det innebærer å være et handlende, velgende og ansvarlig menneske. Dette er noen av de mest sentrale spørsmål i filosofien og filosofiens historie, særlig innen etikken og moralfilosofien. Forfatterne tar for seg tenkere fra hele filosofihistorien: fra Sokrates, Platon, Aristoteles, Aquinas, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Marx, Kierkegaard og Nietzsche, til nyere filosofer som Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, John Rawls og Hans Skjervheim. Hvordan man til forskjellige tider har reflektert over slike problemstillinger, har vært betinget av historiske og samfunnsmessige forhold i samtiden. Denne boken er skrevet ut fra en tanke om at kjennskap til hvordan etiske problemstillinger til ulike tider har vært behandlet, kan bidra til bedre forståelse også av vår egen tid og vårt eget liv.

Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands. In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them. And his journey will change the universe.
