De senaste hundra åren är det i hela världen fler obeväpnade än väpnade revolutioner som lyckats. I vågor har dessa enorma rörelser sköljt över länder och kontinenter. Fackföreningsrörelsen Solidaritet i Polen, oppositionen mot Marcos i Filippinerna, de stora omvälvningarna i Östeuropa 1989 liksom den arabiska våren är exempel på att ickevåldskamp fungerar.    

Detta har gjort den amerikanske fredsforskaren Gene Sharps (1928-2018) teorier om ickevåldskamp mer aktuella än någonsin. 

Hur ickevåldskamp fungerar är den första introduktionen till Sharps tänkande på svenska. Boken är en sammanfattning av hans praktiskt inriktade ickevåldsteori och diskuterar närmare tvåhundra olika ickevåldsmetoder. Hur ickevåldskamp fungerar inleds med en introduktion till Sharps tänkande av ickevåldsaktivisten och fredsforskaren Jörgen Johansen.

Den avslutas med en längre intervju med Gene Sharp som diskuterar hans livsgärning och ickevåldsmetodernas historiska betydelse och framtida möjligheter. Intervjun genomfördes av Jörgen Johansen och Stellan Vinthagen, aktivist och professor i sociologi, ickevåldskamp och civilmotstånd vid University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA.

Gene Sharp erhöll år 2012 The Right Livelihood Award för att han "utvecklat och formulerat ickevåldsmotståndets grundläggande principer och strategier och stött deras praktiska tillämpning i konfliktområden världen över".

The Genus Citrus presents the enormous amount of new knowledge that has been generated in recent years on nearly all topics related to citrus. Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles and understanding of citrus biology and behavior, the book provides a comprehensive view from Citrus evolution to current market importance. Reporting on new insights supported by the elucidation of the citrus genome sequence, it presents groundbreaking theories and fills in previous knowledge gaps.

Because citrus is among the most difficult plants to improve through traditional breeding, citrus researchers, institutions and industries must quickly learn to adapt to new developments, knowledge and technologies to address the biological constraints of a unique fruit-tree such as citrus. Despite the challenges of working with citrus, tremendous progress has been made, mostly through advances in molecular biology and genomics. This book is valuable for all those involved with researching and advancing, producing, processing, and delivering citrus products.

It is estimated that as many as fifty percent of patients initially diagnosed with major Unipolar depression (UP, MDD) will subsequently incur a manic episode or discover a past subtle episode and will have had Bipolar depression rather than MDD. The average Bipolar individual suffers with episodic symptoms for ten years before receiving an accurate diagnosis. As many as 16 million individuals in the United States will have a Bipolar episode in their lives, diagnosed or not. With the recognition of these growing numbers of patients with a Bipolar Disorder, it is imperative that patients are diagnosed and treated earlier, accurately and efficiently.�� Untreated Bipolar usually gets worse.

Bipolar aims to improve recognition, acceptance, and compliance. Dr. C. Raymond Lake applies two different approaches , comprehensive research and case studies, to the understanding of Bipolar Disorders,� presenting basic, selected Bipolar data including history, diagnostic criteria, definitions of terms, and classifications, as well as management and treatment strategies to help the reader fully comprehend the disorder. In addition, case studies provide the reader with real-life examples to help increase recognition of various Bipolar presentations beyond the stark black-and-white diagnostic criteria of the DSM and ICD.

Biotechnology Applications in Forestry: Forest Microbiology, Volume Four in the Forest Microbiology series, is a comprehensive exploration of harnessing the unique attributes of the microbes in the forest biome and their tree hosts. The book introduces the basics of genomics, applied bioinformatics and next generation sequencing, providing a firm foundation before moving to specific approach, application and use chapters. Further sections explore opportunities through the use of genetics to expand or improve on many of these positive attributes of forest trees and associated organisms, including adaptation to climate change as well as resilience to biotic and abiotic stressors.Novel techniques and current advances in the application of modern biotechniques in tree health protection, mushroom technology, biological control, biochar, bioenergy, Isolate & strain selection, metabolic engineering and commercial application relevant for forest ecosystem are also addressed.
