This book, originally published in 2013 and richly illustrated with photographs and artwork, was the first to connect all the threads of influence on Tolkien that infused his creation of Middle-earth--from the languages, poetry, and mythology of medieval Europe and ancient Greece and Rome to the halls of Oxford and the battlefields of World War I.

WINNER OF THE 2020 PULITZER PRIZE IN GENERAL NONFICTION"The Undying is a startling, urgent intervention in our discourses about sickness and health, art and science, language and literature, and mortality and death. In dissecting what she terms 'the ideological regime of cancer,' Anne Boyer has produced a profound and unforgettable document on the experience of life itself." -Sally Rooney, author of Normal People"Anne Boyer's radically unsentimental account of cancer and the 'carcinogenosphere' obliterates cliche. By demonstrating how her utterly specific experience is also irreducibly social, she opens up new spaces for thinking and feeling together. The Undying is an outraged, beautiful, and brilliant work of embodied critique." -Ben Lerner, author of The Topeka SchoolA week after her forty-first birthday, the acclaimed poet Anne Boyer was diagnosed with highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. For a single mother living paycheck to paycheck who had always been the caregiver rather than the one needing care, the catastrophic illness was both a crisis and an initiation into new ideas about mortality and the gendered politics of illness. A twenty-first-century Illness as Metaphor, as well as a harrowing memoir of survival, The Undying explores the experience of illness as mediated by digital screens, weaving in ancient Roman dream diarists, cancer hoaxers and fetishists, cancer vloggers, corporate lies, John Donne, pro-pain "dolorists," the ecological costs of chemotherapy, and the many little murders of capitalism. It excoriates the pharmaceutical industry and the bland hypocrisies of "pink ribbon culture" while also diving into the long literary line of women writing about their own illnesses and ongoing deaths: Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker, Susan Sontag, and others.A genre-bending memoir in the tradition of The Argonauts, The Undying will break your heart, make you angry enough to spit, and show you contemporary America as a thing both desperately ill and occasionally, perversely glorious. Includes black-and-white illustrations

Sundhedsret er vokset frem som juridisk disciplin siden 1980’erne og har gradvist udviklet en egen faglig identitet med særlige retsprincipper. Sundhedsretten har rødder i de menneskeretlige principper om det enkelte menneskes værdighed, integritet og autonomi. Samtidig har sundhedsretten tætte relationer til en række velkendte juridiske discipliner såsom forvaltningsret, strafferet, erstatningsret m.m.Bogen undersøger de retlige relationer og problemstillinger, der opstår mellem sundhedsvæsenets aktører. Dette er et bredt felt, som spænder over spørgsmål relateret til sundhedsvæsenets opgaver og opgavefordeling, statens ansvar for kollektiv sundhed og epidemihåndtering, sundhedspersoners rettigheder og pligter samt patienters rettigheder.Patienters rettigheder er en central del af sundhedsretten. Patientrettighederne vedrører en række forskellige temaer såsom patientens ret til behandling, patientens selvbestemmelsesret, det informerede samtykke, anvendelse af tvang, fortrolighed, aktindsigt, klage og erstatning. I bogen diskuteres også særlige emner som børns og voksne inhabiles selvbestemmelsesret, behandlingstestamenter, dødshjælp, organdonation, abort, assisteret reproduktion, sundhedsvidenskabelige forsøg, big data, personlig medicin og nye teknologier i sundhedsvæsenet.Bogens tre forfattere er alle jurister med tilknytning til Københavns Universitet. Mette Hartlev er dr.jur. og professor i sundhedsret. Katharina Ó Cathaoir er ph.d. og lektor i sundhedsret. Peter Jakobsen er chefkonsulent i Patienterstatningen og ekstern lektor i sundhedsret.

"In light of Russia's aggressive 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Goodbye, Eastern Europe is a crucial, elucidative read, a sweeping epic chronicling a thousand years of strife, war, and bloodshed--from pre-Christianity to the fall of Communism--illuminating the remarkable cultural significance and richness of a place perpetually lost to the margins of history. Eastern Europe, the moniker, has gone out of fashion since the fall of the Soviet Union. Ask someone now, and they might tell you that Estonia is in the Baltics, or Scandinavia, that Slovakia is in Central Europe and Croatia is in the Eastern Adriatic or the Balkans. In fact, Eastern Europe is a place that barely exists at all, except in cultural memory. Yet it remains a powerful marker of identity for many, with a fragmented and wide history, defined by texts, myths, and memories of centuries of hardship and suffering. Goodbye, Eastern Europe is a masterful narrative about a place that has survived the brink of being forgotten. Beginning with long-lost accounts of early pagan life, Mikanowski offers a kaleidoscopic tour recounting the rise and fall of the great empires--Ottoman, Hapsburg, and Russian--the dawn of the modern era, the ravages of Fascism and Communism, as well as Capitalism, the birth of the modern nation-state, and more. A student of literature, history, and the ghosts of his own family's past, Mikanowski paints a magisterial portrait of a place united by diversity, and eclecticism, and a people with the shared story of being the dominated rather than the dominating. The result is a loving and ebullient celebration of the distinctive and vibrant cultures that stubbornly persisted at the margins of Western Europe, and a powerful corrective that re-centers our understanding of how the modern Western world took shape"--

A Best Book of 2020: The Washington Post * NPR * Chicago Tribune * Smithsonian A “remarkable” (Los Angeles Times), “seductive” (The Wall Street Journal) debut from the new cohost of Radiolab, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a dark and astonishing tale of love, chaos, scientific obsession, and—possibly—even murder.​ “At one point, Miller dives into the ocean into a school of fish…comes up for air, and realizes she’s in love. That’s how I felt: Her book took me to strange depths I never imagined, and I was smitten.” —The New York Times Book ReviewDavid Starr Jordan was a taxonomist, a man possessed with bringing order to the natural world. In time, he would be credited with discovering nearly a fifth of the fish known to humans in his day. But the more of the hidden blueprint of life he uncovered, the harder the universe seemed to try to thwart him. His specimen collections were demolished by lightning, by fire, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—which sent more than a thousand discoveries, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life’s work was shattered. Many might have given up, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish that he recognized, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that he believed would at last protect his work against the chaos of the world. When NPR reporter Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote in passing, she took Jordan for a fool—a cautionary tale in hubris, or denial. But as her own life slowly unraveled, she began to wonder about him. Perhaps instead he was a model for how to go on when all seemed lost. What she would unearth about his life would transform her understanding of history, morality, and the world beneath her feet. Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail.

The collection of Prophetic sayings known as Sahih Muslim, is the second most authoritative collection in Islam. It is taught all over the world and forms part of every Islamic library - be it personal, local or national - in the world. Once complete, this set of books will be the only English translation of the commentary and hadiths on the market.The compiler of the hadiths, Imam Muslim, is a household name amongst Muslims, who is famed for assessing and collating the most trust-worthy and reliable traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. Very few Muslims in Islamic history come anywhere near his level of influence or importance. The striking feature about this edition is it includes a full commentary. The commentary author Imam Nawawi is another one of the most trusted traditional voices on Islam (in history). This work is recognised by Shafi Muslims, one of the largest groups of Sunni Muslims in the world, as foundational to their school of thought.By translating, the original work and the commentary together, this pioneering work of scholarship will aid understanding amongst interested English readers, whilst also being a desirable book for libraries and academics. Kube is well connected in the Muslim world and will seek endorsements and publicity. Should this book receive strong support it will become the definitive English edition.

Here is an informative introduction to language: its origins in the past, its growth through history, and its present use for communication between peoples. It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages -- Teutonic, Romance, Greek -- helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a language as it is actually used in everyday life.

"On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan 'What starts here changes the world,' he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves--and the world--for the better"

Den sidste kommenterede privatvejslov var udarbejdet af landsdommer E.A. Abitz og udkom i 1981. Selvom privatvejsloven ikke ændres dagligt, er der dog sket en del i de mellemliggende knap 40 år. Der er i denne kommentar taget udgangspunkt i den nye hovedlov fra 2010 med efterfølgende ændringer indtil 2021. Da der trods alt er sket noget siden Abitz’ fremragende værk, er bogen blevet noget større, og en del større end sin forgænger. Bogen er skrevet med henblik på dem der arbejder i vejsektoren, borgere der skal kende deres rettigheder og pligt samt den juridiske sektor.

I de næsten 50 år der er forløbet siden denne bogs første udgave fra 1973, har entrepriseretten udviklet sig kolossalt.8. udgave af denne bog blev hurtigt udsolgt, og det er derfor fundet hensigtsmæssigt at udsende nærværende reviderede 9. udgave frem for et uændret optryk. Den omfattende retspraksis genererer løbende ny viden om entrepriseret. Ud over at ny retspraksis og litteratur er indarbejdet, er hele teksten genskrevet.De første tre udgaver af denne bog byggede på AB 72 og de følgende fire på AB 92. 8. udgave og den nu foreliggende 9. udgave bygger på AB 18.

When you think you're safe, when you think you're all alone, That's when he'll come for you... A silent killer stalks the city, targeting those home alone at night, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the victims. As panic spreads, Detective Inspector Helen Grace leads the investigation, but is herself a hunted woman, her every step shadowed by a ruthless psychopath bent on revenge. As she tracks the murderer, Grace begins to suspect there is a truly shocking home truth that connects these brutal crimes. But what she will find is something more twisted than she could ever suspect --

Hvorfor skal en socialrådgiver vide noget om jura?Kan man ikke bare spørge en jurist?Kendskab til lovgivning og viden om juridisk tænkning er ikke kun for advokater, dommere og andre jurister. Socialrådgivere og mange andre faggrupper skal kende og kunne anvende relevant lovstof, så borgerne kan få den rette rådgivning og støtte, og afgørelserne kan blive korrekte.Jura, forvaltningsret og socialforvaltningsret er derfor en vigtig og obligatorisk del af socialrådgiverstudiet, men også en disciplin som kan virke artsfremmed og vanskelig at trænge ind i for den nye studerende. Denne bog er derfor skrevet for at vække de studerendes interesse for og appetit på faget socialforvaltningsret.Bogen omfatter en introduktion til offentlig ret, som er den del af juraen, hvor socialforvaltningsretten befinder sig. Begreber som retssikkerhed og retskilder bliver gennemgået, og legalitetsprincippet, lovfortolkning og reglerne om saglig forvaltning forklares og eksemplificeres. Bogen gennemgår de retssikkerhedsmæssige krav i forvaltningsloven og den sociale retssikkerhedslov, ligesom offentlighedsloven og databeskyttelseslovgivningen bliver behandlet i hver sit kapitel.Bogen sidste del handler om kontrol med socialforvaltningen og borgernes muligheder for at klage over myndighedernes afgørelser. Her gennemgås emner som administrativ rekurs, tilsynsmyndigheder, Folketingets Ombudsmand og domstolsprøvelse samt mulighederne for at gøre ansvar gældende for fejl begået af offentlige myndigheder.Der er lagt stor vægt på den pædagogiske fremstilling, og bogen er forsynet med mange eksempler, figurer og oversigter, der illustrerer regler og grundsætninger. Hvert kapitel indeholder øvelser og arbejdsspørgsmål, hvor stoffet kan anvendes praktisk, enten i plenum, som gruppearbejde eller som hjemmeopgaver.

Ytringsfrihed og informationsfrihed er to afgørende kendetegn for et demokratisk samfund.Med frihed følger også ansvar, og her dukker straks dilemmaer op, som man kan opleve næsten dagligt: krænkelser af privatlivet; injurier; hadefulde ytringer; mani­pulation; skjult reklame og mange andre problemstillinger, som både er juridiske og etiske.Bogen gennemgår centrale mediejuridiske begreber, vigtige retsregler og etiske ret­ningslinjer. Og den referer en lang række eksempler på afgørelser i konkrete sager.Denne nye og 4. udgave af Oluf Jørgensens klassiker har fået Peter Lind Nielsen som medforfatter, og bogen er udvidet med helt nye kapitler om ophavsret og kommerciel kommunikation. Der er væsentlige ændringer i kapitlet om aktindsigt, som bygger på ombudsmandens praksis efter den nye offentlighedslov, og alle øvrige kapitler er ajourført med nye regler og afgørelser.Mediejura indeholder vigtig viden for alle, der arbejder med professionel kommu­nikation til offentligheden. Journalistik, der skal sikre os uafhængig information. Kommunikation, der skal tjene en virksomhed, en myndighed, et parti eller anden organisation.Alle har brug for klarhed over, hvad man må, og hvad man ikke må. Den klarhed giver Mediejura.Se også websitet med links til retsregler, afgørelser og supplerende information. https://dmjxmediejura.mediajungle.dk/

This is a new English translation of St. Thomas Aquinas's Treatise on Law, found in Questions 90-108 of the First Part of the Second Part of the Summa Theologiae. In fact, it is the only free-standing English translation of the entire Treatise, which includes both a general account of law (Questions 90-92) and also specific treatments of what St. Thomas identifies as the five kinds of law: the eternal law (Question 93), the natural law (Question 94), human law (Questions 95-97), the Old Law (Questions 98-105), and the New Law (Questions 106-108). All other extant editions of Treatise on Law stop with the human law, and are thus approximately one-third the size of the full Treatise. St. Thomas's account of law is firmly embedded within a general moral theory that begins with a rich conception of human flourishing, i.e., the good for human beings (Questions 1-5). This good consists, first and foremost, in our ultimate and intimate union with the Persons of the Blessed Trinity - a union that in our present state we can grasp intellectively and pursue affectively only with God's supernatural assistance. It is within this framework that we order our loves and pursue the more proximate goals they open up to us as human beings in this life. Given the appropriate goals, the next question is how we can get from where we are, in the grips of the consequences of Original Sin, to where we want to be. The answer is: by means of (a) human actions that are good, i.e., rightly ordered toward our ultimate end and (b) the habits that these actions either engender or flow from. In analyzing human actions (Questions 6-21) and their relation to the passions (Questions 22-48), St. Thomas gives a general account of what he calls the 'intrinsic principles' of human actions and their associated habits - both virtues (Questions 49-70) and vices (Questions 71-89). It is only then that he turns to what he calls the 'extrinsic principles' of good human actions, viz., law (Questions 90-108) and grace (Questions 109-114). According to St. Thomas, law, far from supplanting virtue as a basic principle of action, serves as an independent principle of action that complements virtue and is itself capable of being factored into practical deliberation. The reason is that all of God's precepts, prohibitions, and punishments are aimed at promoting the good of the whole universe and, more particularly, the good for human beings, both individually and within the various forms of social life. Because of this, law serves as both a restraint on bad actions and a spur to good action, i.e., a restraint on actions that take us away from virtue and genuine human flourishing and a spur to actions that promote virtue and flourishing. There are many benefits of having the whole treatise rather than just the first few questions, as has been the standard practice in previous editions of the Treatise on Law. To mention just a few of these benefits, the question on the moral precepts of the Old Law (question 100) helps to illuminate in many different ways the earlier questions on natural law and human law (questions 94-97). Again, the questions on the ceremonial and judicial precepts of the Old Law (questions 101-105) demon-strate in depth the symbiotic relationship that St. Thomas takes to obtain between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The questions on the New Law provide an introduction to the Christian way of life that will be described in incomparable detail in the Second Part of the Second Part, the bulk of which is structured around the treatment of the three theological virtues and the four cardinal virtues.

International Human Rights Law provides a concise, wide-ranging introduction for students new to the subject.

An explosive investigation into how the United States of America built one of the largest illicit offshore finance systems in the world. For years, one country has acted as the greatest offshore haven in the world, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit finance tied directly to corrupt regimes, extremist networks, and the worst the world has to offer. But it hasn't been the sand-splattered Caribbean islands, or even traditional financial secrecy havens like Switzerland or Panama that have come to dominate the offshoring world. Instead, the country profiting the most also happens to be the one that still claims to be the moral leader of the free world, and the one that claims to be leading the fight against the crooked and the corrupt: the United States of America. American Kleptocracy examines just how the United States' implosion into a centre of global offshoring took place: how states such as Delaware and Nevada perfected the art of the anonymous shell company; how post-9/11 reformers watched their success usher in a new flood of illicit finance directly into the U.S.; how African despots and post-Soviet oligarchs came to dominate American coastlines, American industries, and entire cities and small towns across the American Midwest; how Nazi-era lobbyists birthed an entire industry of spin-men whitewashing transnational crooks and despots, and how dirty money has now begun infiltrating America's universities, think tanks, and cultural centres; and how those on the frontline are trying to restore America's legacy of anti-corruption leadership - and finally end this reign of American kleptocracy. It also looks at how Trump's presidency accelerated all of the trends already on hand - and how the Biden administration can, and should, act on this tawdry inheritance.

Kompendium i Obligationsret er udarbejdet for at skabe et overblik over pensum i faget Obligationsret, der udbydes på de danske universiteter.Kompendiet er rettet mod studerende på de danske universiteter, som følger faget, men kan anvendes af alle, der ønsker en pædagogisk introduktion til fagets væsentligste principper.Kompendiet anses ikke som en erstatning for fagets pensum, men som et supplement til lærebøgerne. Formålet er at hjælpe jurastuderende med at opnå en bedre forståelse af obligationsretten, herunder at systematisere lærebøgernes indhold gennem en pædagogisk fremstilling og ved hjælp af simple figurer.Kompendiet kan således benyttes sideløbende som supplement til læsningen samt eksamensforberedelsen og er direkte anvendeligt til eksamenen.Endvidere giver kompendiet de studerende en indføring i, hvordan en eksamensbesvarelse i Obligationsret bør struktureres, herunder hvilken struktur, som bør anvendes samt hvilke emner, der er påkrævede i en eksamensbesvarelse.Kompendiet er siden sidste udgave fra 2012 blevet opdateret i henhold til fagets nuværende pensum. Det betyder blandt andet, at indholdet vil basere sig på store dele af Torsten Iversens fremstilling af obligationsretten. Ligeledes vil gældsbrevsloven og læren om ejendomsforbehold i mindre grad end tidligere præge fremstillingen.
