Det här är historien om bondflickan som blev miljardärsfru, om läkaren som blev dödssjuk. Det är historien om att kämpa för att rädda världen samtidigt som man kämpar för att rädda sitt eget liv. Detta är historien om Gunhild Stordalen. År 2014 diagnostiserades Gunhild Stordalen med den obotliga sjukdomen systemisk skleros. Fram till dess hade hon trott att hon skulle ha ett helt liv på sig att göra skillnad, nu hade hon i värsta fall bara några år kvar att leva.
Den stora bilden är Gunhild Stordalens egen berättelse om sin kamp för överlevnad och för en bättre värld. Men boken är också en hyllning till livet. Och kärleken.

Allvarligt talat: Berättelser om livet utforskar det allvarliga från olika tider och sammanhang. Betydelsen av ordet allvarligt följer tre linjer. En rör människans existens, helt enkelt meningen med livet. I alla tider har denna fråga varit aktuell. En annan klargör hur sjukdom och död har gripit in i och vänt upp och ned på människors liv. Smärtorna inför insikten om livets förgänglighet bär tidlöshetens tecken, om än uttrycken varierar. Allvarets tredje betydelse poängterar orättvisa samhällsvillkor och rädslan inför genomgripande förändringar.
Boken är en historisk resa, från antiken till vår tid. Olika tider skapar varierande former av allvar. Resan påminner om att det djupt mänskliga kan kännas igen från en tid till en annan.
Författarna är alla verksamma forskare i humaniora. Här samlas historiker, litteraturvetare, religionshistoriker, musikvetare, språkvetare, konstvetare, antikvetare och arkeologer för att utforska livets och samhällets allvar. Forskarna studerar dödens symbolik i skiftande tider och pekar på hur rädsla för sjukdom och död alltid har varit aktuell. De visar hur könsnormer i högre grad begränsat kvinnor än män, hur det förflutna uttolkas genom manliga glasögon och vilka skeva uppfattningar som nutiden därför har. De framhåller också den oro som djupgående samhällsförändringar, krig och andra trauman har fört med sig. Biografiska perspektiv används för att komma nära det allvarliga i livet.
Genom bokens alla aspekter på mänskligt allvar kan vi få nya kunskaper om historiens och livets skiftande förutsättningar. Budskapet är tydligt: humaniora är på allvar.

Before the rise of Pop Art proper, Alex Katz developed an iconic style of figurative painting in the early 1960s— influenced by film, television, and billboard advertising. Seemingly detached and incredibly stylish, he created portraits of the New York scene as well as idyllic landscapes. Printmaking plays an equally central role in Katz’s work. He uses lithographs, etchings, silkscreens, woodcuts and linocuts to reproduce, reflect and further reduce his bold aesthetic, while retaining the radiant color characteristic for his paintings. Since the first edition in 2011, Katz has almost doubled his output of prints—this timely new edition includes his complete prints, cutout editions, artists’ books, and also lists his works of applied art like book illustrations and public art projects. New essays and interviews with the artist give profound insights into the work of one of the foremost American artists of the present.

This story is a micro-historic narrative about an individual’s human destiny in an institutional setting, which aims to offer an insight into a sanatory stay about ninety years ago, described by a young woman, 19 years old, suffering from tuberculosis. She described her stay at the sanatorium in personal letters to her family. Mainly, two themes are illustrated, the care routines and her friendship relations that developed during her stay. Her described stay and treatment is discussed in relation to Goffman’s concepts of a total institution, social relations between staff and patients and stigma, Foucault’s concepts disciplinary techniques and bio power, as well as Parsons’ sick role. In the letters, the treatment of the sanatorium is presented as an interplay between the medical treatment with focus on the best for the single patient, the nursing staff and the daily routines. Besides, despite being a patient she saw herself as a student even in the future rather than a sick person. Important for her personal well-being was her fighting spirit, her social relations with other patients and the emotional support from her family. Described in letters is a world of women.

Women in Power profiles 22 world leaders who have held the top positions of political power since 1960. Each chapter is devoted to a region of the world. In addition to providing an overview of the political careers of the women who emerged as leaders in these regions, the authors examine the political systems of each region in terms of the involvement of women in politics.Biographies of these political leaders are embedded within regional analyses that reveal not only the personal circumstances that each woman faced in her quest for power but also the political milieu from which she emerged. We learn about the obstacles as well as the advantages these women faced, and we derive insights into the structures that exist in our own societies regarding the power relations between men and women. Women in Power also devotes a chapter to differing theories of women's leadership and various theories of feminism around the world. Finally, in an effort to understand how the United States can appear to be the bastion of women's liberation around the world and yet have only 15 percent representation of women in power and no female president to date, the authors explore prospects for the upcoming 2008 U.S. presidential election and discuss potential candidates.

Nature, Temporality and Environmental Management
Scandinavian and Australian perspectives on peoples and landscapes

How are different concepts of nature and time embedded into human practices of landscape and environmental management? And how can temporalities that entwine past, present and future help us deal with challenges on the ground? In a time of uncertainty and climate change, how much can we hold onto ideals of nature rooted in a pristine and stable past? The Scandinavian and Australian perspectives in this book throw fresh light on these questions and explore new possibilities and challenges in uncertain and changing landscapes of the future.This book presents examples from farmers, gardens and Indigenous communities, among others, and shows that many people and communities are already actively engaging with environmental change and uncertainty. The book is structured around four themes; environmental futures, mobile natures, indigenous and colonial legacies, heritage and management. Part I includes important contributions towards contemporary environmental management debates, yet the chapters in this section also show how the legacy of older landscapes forms part of the active production of future ones. Part II examines the challenges of living with mobile natures, as it is acknowledged that environments, natures and people do not stand still. An important dimension of the heritage and contemporary politics of Australia, Sweden and Norway is the presence of indigenous peoples. As is clear in part III, the legacies of the colonial past both haunt and energise contemporary land management decisions. Finally, part IV demonstrates how the history and heritage of landscapes, including human activities in those landscapes, are entwined with contemporary environmental management. The rich empirical content of the chapters exposes the diversity of meanings, practices, and ways of being in nature that can be derived from cultural environmental research in different disciplines. The everyday engagements between people, nature and temporalities provide important creative resources with which to meet future challenges.

The first comprehensive presentation and discussion of Jeremy Bentham's contributions to international relations theory.Bentham is best known amongst political theory scholars as most of his brilliant work addresses legal theory, reform, and the ideal relationship between the governors and the governed. This new text rectifies many of the erroneous assumptions made about Bentham's contributions to the field, and critically examines his place within the confines of the liberal theoretical tradition, arguing that Bentham's preoccupation with security resulted in often conflicting and inconsistent ideas about the conduct of nations in the international realm. International relations scholars have long needed clarification and an accurate presentation of Bentham's work, but additionally, his constant struggle to ensure security of expectation resulted in a striking ambivalence about world politics and how states ought to engage them. Bentham's work was pivotal to the development of the international climate we now face - he coined the word 'international' - and was one of the first thinkers to consider the globalized community that we see before us. He also struggled, sometimes in vain, to reconcile such a globalized community with the need to ensure security. His struggle was essentially no different than that facing international relations scholars today. Within the context of Bentham's work, this book also addresses the broader context of international relations theory itself, and demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of the international relations theory traditions, in particular, liberalism and realism. This book will be of strong interest to students and scholars of international relations and political theory.

This book critically conceptualises positive security and explores multiple areas in global politics where positive security can be studied as an alternative to the existing understandings and practices of security. Structured through a framework on the practice and ethics of everyday security, the book defines positive security as a focal point of contextual and spatiotemporal moments that emerge through encounters with ‘the other’ in everyday politics. In these moments, an actor can show attentiveness and humility towards ‘the other’. In this book, the authors present their own understandings of positive security, offering an in-depth discussion and analysis of the Global North and South divides, delving into many aspects such as human security, migration, gender, Indigenous issues and perceptions of security in the Arctic, and challenges and tensions for and within NATO. The book concludes by reflecting on the significance of positive security, looking at its application for other current issues, including how to understand and manage new (in)security challenges including hybrid threats and warfare.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, critical security, and peace studies.

Violent conflict, climate change, and poverty present distinct threats to women worldwide. Importantly, women are leading the way creating and sharing sustainable solutions.Women's security is a valuable analytical tool as well as a political agenda insofar as it addresses the specific problems affecting women's ability to live dignified, free, and secure lives. First, this collection focuses on how conflict impacts women's lives and well-being, including rape and gendered constructions of ethnicity, race, and religion. The book's second section looks beyond the scope of large-scale violence to examine human security in terms of environmental policy, food, water, health, and economics.Multidisciplinary in scope, these essays from new and established contributors draw from gender studies, international relations, criminology, political science, economics, sociology, biological and ecological sciences, and planning.

The Routledge Handbook of Arctic Security offers a comprehensive examination of security in the region, encompassing both state-based and militarized notions of security, as well as broader security perspectives reflecting debates about changes in climate, environment, economies, and societies. Since the turn of the century, the Arctic has increasingly been in the global spotlight, resulting in the often invoked idea of “Arctic exceptionalism” being questioned. At the same time, the unconventional political power which the Arctic’s Indigenous peoples hold calls into question conventional ideas about geopolitics and security. This handbook examines security in this region, revealing contestations and complementarities between narrower, state-based and/or militarized notions of security and broader security perspectives reflecting concerns and debates about changes in climate, environment, economies, and societies.The volume is split into five thematic parts:• Theorizing Arctic Security• The Arctic Powers• Security in the Arctic through Governance• Non-Arctic States, Regional and International Organizations• People, States, and Security.This book will be of great interest to students of Arctic politics, global governance, geography, security studies, and International Relations.

This is the first comprehensive exploration of why human security is relevant to the Arctic and what achieving it can mean, covering the areas of health of the environment, identity of peoples, supply of traditional foods, community health, economic opportunities, and political stability. The traditional definition of security has already been actively employed in the Arctic region for decades, particularly in relation to natural resource sovereignty issues, but how and why should the human aspect be introduced? What can this region teach us about human security in the wider world? The book reviews the potential threats to security, putting them in an analytical framework and indicating a clear path for solutions.Contributions come from natural, social and humanities scientists, hailing from Canada, Russia, Finland and Norway. Environmental Change and Human Security in the Arctic is an essential resource for policy-makers, community groups, researchers and students working in the field of human security, particularly for those in the Arctic regions.

Safety by Design
Human-Centered Approaches to AI, Automation, and Remote Operations

Safety-critical systems with more digitalization, automation, and AI require integration of human factors to ensure safety, efficiency, and meaningful human control. Across sectors such as aviation, maritime, energy, transportation, and remote operations, accident investigations repeatedly show that failures often stem not from technology alone but from inadequate scoping, poor human-centered design, alarm overload, fragmented automation, and organizational conditions that leave operators unprepared during critical situations. Disasters such as the Boeing 737 MAX accidents demonstrate how safety can be compromised when humans and systems are misaligned, while successful recoveries (such as the US Airways Flight 1549 landing on the Hudson River) show the vital role of design-supported human performance in demanding conditions.Safety by Design: Human-Centered Approaches to AI, Automation, and Remote Operations explores the relationship between human capabilities, organizational readiness, and complex technical systems. It offers best practices for designing safety-critical systems that integrate human factors from concept to operation. The book introduces Meaningful Human Control, a framework ensuring humans retain authority, awareness, and intervention ability, aligning with emerging EU AI regulations. Readers will learn practical methods to design systems with usability, transparency, and oversight, alongside insights into automation, accident analysis, and supporting operators under stress. These principles help create safer, more resilient, and trustworthy systems.This book has been written for human factors students and specialists, system designers, engineers, safety professionals, regulators, and project managers working on safety-critical applications involving automation, AI, or remote operations.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a creative commons (CC BY) 4.0 license.

Understanding Civil-Military Interaction
Lessons Learned from the Norwegian Model

A novel examination of civil-military interaction in particular between militaries and humanitarian actors, in light of the so-called 'Norwegian model' that espouses a clear divide between political and humanitarian (or military and civilian - the model is in fact unclear) actors, while maintaining a tight coordination between them. The Norwegian government has significantly reduced their own military's capacity in the field of civil-military interaction, raising the question as to whether knowledge and skills in this field are necessary. Using a multi-actor security framework, this book examines whether or not the Norwegian government is correct in its assumptions (about both the model and civil-military knowledge amongst military personnel) and concludes that the Norwegian model is a well-meaning but inefficient and problematic model in reality. Although the case study focuses on Norway, the lessons learned are relevant to all nations engaged in civil-military operations.
