Vivi är sju år och expert på att dagdrömma. Alla säger att hon är i sin egen värld , men hon brukar bara sitta och fantisera om hur världen skulle kunna se ut.
En dag börjar Vivi fundera på hur det skulle vara om alla hade samma namn. Tänk, till exempel, om alla hette Orvar. Brevbäraren skulle bli alldeles snurrig! Och hur skulle uppropen i skolan se ut? Helknäppt!
Ur BTJ's recension
"[...] Anette Eliasson debuterade 2024 med bilderboken Tänk om alla hade jättelånga rumpor![...] I den nya tänk-om-boken Tänk om alla hetter Orvar! funderar hon på hur det vore om alla hade samma namn.[...] De proffsigt välgjorda bilderna är kul, uttrycksfulla och med lagom mycket att titta på.[...] I tilltalande utformning bjuder boken på en lättsam tankelek, som kan sysselsätta läsaren ett tag."

"Mökk!" Barnet sträcker ut sin lilla knubbiga hand, som för att gripa tag i det överväldigande mörkret omkring henne, känna på det, bekanta sig med det, införliva det i sina sinnen, sin kropp, sin verklighet. Barnet är ett år gammalt, och det färdas genom mörkret på sin moders arm, med de små armarna lindade om hennes hals och med näsan inborrad i hennes hår som luktar som av blommor mitt i detta kalla obegripliga …
"Mökk!" Barnet försöker igen, det sträcker ut sin lilla hand impulsivt, som för att fånga en handfull av detta överallt varande mörker. Det är skrämmande, detta mystiskt ogripbara, men barnet är buret. Det färdas mjukt gungande genom mörkret i sin moders trygga famn.
Föga anar barnet att det alldeles på egen hand måste röra sig fram genom detta otäcka i det liv som ligger framför det. Att det måste röra sig bort från sin moder och på darrande ben gå ut i världen. Ensam.

Jag har alltid irriterat mig på de populärvetenskapliga tolkningarna som bibehållet och förstärkt mystiken i kvantteorin hellre än att göra ett försök att förklara. Kvantfysik är den vetenskap som varit mest användbar, har haft störst betydelse inom vitt skilda områden och är samtidigt den mest förbryllande av alla. Den sägs vara så obegriplig att vår hjärna inte kan förstå den. ”Den som inte blir illa berörd av kvantfysiken har inte förstått den”, är ett citat från en av de stora pionjärerna inom denna teori. Den strider helt mot sunt förnuft. En partikel påstås befinna sig på två ställen samtidigt, om en partikel påverkas vet en tvillingpartikel i andra delen av universum det i samma ögonblick utan att det färdats någon information däremellan. Elektroner kan vara både partiklar och vågor och en katt kan samtidigt vara både levande och död! På kvantnivå uppför sig materien tillsynes absurt; men du är uppbyggd av dessa absurda partiklar och du använder kvantfysiken dagligen då all modern elektronik utnyttjar dess revolutionerande rön från början av förra seklet. Jag ska förklara denna teori och avslöja många av myterna. Och jag ska också presentera en lösning. Att ge sig på den svåraste teori vi känner och som till och med Einstein gick bet på var så grandiost hybrisaktig och en så vansinnig idé att jag bara inte kunde låta bli.

För ganska länge sen fanns en pojke som kände sig ensam och lite ledsen. Han var rödhårig och fräknig. Bestämd och envis. Han hette Vincent. br> Vincent tyckte om blommor och småkryp. Han kunde namnen på alla skalbaggar, samlade och sorterade dem i små askar. Han tittade noga på saker. Noga och länge. br> ?Kom in och ät!? ropade Vincents mamma, men han hörde inte. Vincent hade fått syn på en myrstack och stannade ute för att se när myrorna byggde sitt hus. br> Så börjar boken HAN HETTE VINCENT. Den handlar om konstnären Vincent van Gogh, född den 30 mars 1853. Vi får följa honom från barndomen till hans alltför tidiga död 1890, se ett antal av hans konstverk och lära oss mera om hans dramatiska liv. br> HAN HETTE VINCENT är den första boken i en tänkt barnboksserie om kända konstnärer. Annette Wilhelmsson har skrivit texten, som har som mål att locka barnen till ett konstintresse och eget skapande. Illustrationerna är gjorda av Jens Ahlbom, som bland annat ritat Mulle Meck och Jonatan på Måsberget..

"His books are all action, unfolding with a laconic efficiency that would make his killers proud."—The EconomistMartin Terrier is a hired killer who wants out of the game—so he can settle down and marry his childhood sweetheart. After all, that's why he took up this profession! But "the company" won't let him go: they have other plans. Once again, the gunman must assume the prone firing position. A tour de force, this violent tale shatters as many illusions about life and politics as it does bodies. Jean-Patrick Manchette subjects his characters and the reader alike to a fierce exercise in style.This tightly plotted, corrosive parody of "the success story" is widely considered to be Manchette's masterpiece, and was named a New York Times "Notable Book." The Prone Gunman is a classic of modern noir."For Manchette and the generation of writers who followed him, the crime novel is no mere entertainment, but a means to strip bare the failures of society, ripping through veils of appearance, deceit, and manipulation to the greed and violence that are the society's true engines."—Boston Globe"There's not a superfluous word or overdone effect . . . one of the last cool, compact and shockingly original crime novels Manchette left as his legacy to modern noir fiction."—New York Times"For the first time readers can experience in English translation the masterful thriller considered Manchette's finest, proof positive that the French knew what they were talking about when they labeled this sort of novel 'noir'."—Publishers Weekly"This superbly muscular translation of the late French mystery writer Jean-Patrick Manchette's most celebrated work, The Prone Gunman, is the third volume issued [by] City Lights Noir. The series may prove to be the most needed contribution to contemporary fiction by any publisher in a good long while."—The San Francisco ChronicleJean-Patrick Manchette was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing and reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the 1970s and early 80s, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction author of that time. His stories are violent, existentialist explorations of the human condition and French society. Jazz saxophonist and screenwriter, Manchette was also a left-wing activist influenced as much by the writings of the Situationist International as by Dashiell Hammett. Jean-Patrick Manchette's Three to Kill as well as the movie tie-in The Gunman are also published by City Lights Publishers.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - The extraordinary rediscovered novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude-a moving tale of female desire and abandon
Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.
Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart.
Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love-an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

What Will Work
Fighting Climate Change with Renewable Energy, Not Nuclear Power
Häftad, Engelska, 2014

What Will Work makes a rigorous and compelling case that energy efficiencies and renewable energy -- and not nuclear fission or "clean coal" -- are the most effective, cheapest, and equitable solutions to the pressing problem of climate change. Kristin Shrader-Frechette, a respected environmental ethicist and scientist, makes a damning case that the only reason that debate about climate change continues is because fossil-fuel interests pay non-experts to confuse the public. She then builds a comprehensive case against the argument made by many that nuclear fission is a viable solution to the problem, arguing that data on the viability of nuclear power has been misrepresented by the nuclear industry and its supporters. In particular she says that they present deeply flawed cases that nuclear produces low greenhouse gas emissions, that it is financially responsible, that it is safe, and that its risks do not fall mainly on the poor and vulnerable. She argues convincingly that these are all completely false assumptions. Shrader-Frechette then shows that energy efficiency and renewable solutions meet all these requirements - in particular affordability, safety, and equitability. In the end, the cheapest, lowest-carbon, most-sustainable energy solutions also happen to be the most ethical.This urgent book on the most pressing issue of our time will be of interest to anyone involved in environmental and energy policy.

Three-fourths of scientific research in the United States is funded by special interests. Many of these groups have specific practical goals, such as developing pharmaceuticals or establishing that a pollutant causes only minimal harm. For groups with financial conflicts of interest, their scientific findings often can be deeply flawed.To uncover and assess these scientific flaws, award-winning biologist and philosopher of science Kristin Shrader-Frechette uses the analytical tools of classic philosophy of science. She identifies and evaluates the concepts, data, inferences, methods, models, and conclusions of science tainted by the influence of special interests. As a result, she challenges accepted scientific findings regarding risks such as chemical toxins and carcinogens, ionizing radiation, pesticides, hazardous-waste disposal, development of environmentally sensitive lands, threats to endangered species, and less-protective standards for workplace-pollution exposure. In so doing, she dissects the science on which many contemporary scientific controversies turn. Demonstrating and advocating "liberation science," she shows how practical, logical, methodological, and ethical evaluations of science can both improve its quality and credibility -- and protect people from harm caused by flawed science, such as underestimates of cancers caused by bovine growth hormones, cell phones, fracking, or high-voltage wires.This book is both an in-depth look at the unreliable scientific findings at the root of contemporary debates in biochemistry, ecology, economics, hydrogeology, physics, and zoology -- and a call to action for scientists, philosophers of science, and all citizens.
China's New Red Guards
The Return of Radicalism and the Rebirth of Mao Zedong

Ever since Deng Xiaoping effectively de-radicalized China in the 1980s, there have been many debates about which path China would follow. Would it democratize? Would it embrace capitalism? Would the Communist Party's rule be able to withstand the adoption and spread of the Internet? One debate that did not occur in any serious way, however, was whether Mao Zedong would make a political comeback. As Jude Blanchette details in China's New Red Guards, contemporary China is undergoing a revival of an unapologetic embrace of extreme authoritarianism that draws direct inspiration from the Mao era. Under current Chinese leader Xi Jinping, state control over the economy is increasing, civil society is under sustained attack, and the CCP is expanding its reach in unprecedented new ways. As Xi declared in late 2017, "Government, military, society and schools, north, south, east and west-the party is the leader of all." But this trend is reinforced by a bottom-up revolt against Western ideas of modernity, including political pluralism, the rule of law, and the free market economy. Centered around a cast of nationalist intellectuals and activists who have helped unleash a wave of populist enthusiasm for the Great Helmsman's policies, China's New Red Guards not only will reshape our understanding of the political forces driving contemporary China, it will also demonstrate how ideologies can survive and prosper despite pervasive rumors of their demise.

This is an extensive survey and critical examination of the literature on the use of expert opinion in scientific inquiry and policy making.Cooke considers how expert opinion is being used today, how an expert's uncertainty is or should be represented, how people do or should reason with uncertainty, how the quality and usefulness of expert opinion can be assessed, and how the views of several experts might be combined. He argues for the importance of developing practical models with a transparent mathematical foundation for the use of expert opinion in science, and presents three tested models. Detailed case studies illustrate how they can be applied to a diversity of real problems in engineering and planning.

Shrader-Frechette offers a rigorous philosophical discussion of environmental justice. Explaining fundamental ethical concepts such as equality, property rights, procedural justice, free informed consent, intergenerational equity, and just compensation--and then bringing them to bear on real-world social issues--she shows how many of these core concepts have been compromised for a large segment of the global population, among them Appalachians, African-Americans, workers in hazardous jobs, and indigenous people in developing nations. She argues that burdens like pollution and resource depletion need to be apportioned more equally, and that there are compelling ethical grounds for remedying our environmental problems. She also argues that those affected by environmental problems must be included in the process of remedying those problems; that all citizens have a duty to engage in activism on behalf of Environmental Justice; and that in a democracy it is the people, not the government, that are ultimately responsible for fair use of the environment.

Pollution annually kills hundreds of thousands of people. In a brilliant, disturbing, yet readable book, Shrader-Frechette shows why this environmental epidemic continues. Campaign contributors, lobbyists, and special interests often control information by capturing media and even science itself. Yet Shrader-Frechette puts the blame - and the solution - on the shoulders of ordinary citizens. Calling for a new "democratic revolution." Arguing that justice requires us each to become he change we seek, she offers many concrete proposals for reform - many based on American Public Health Association recommendations.

The Handbook of Experimental Economic Methodology, edited by Guillaume R. Fréchette and Andrew Schotter, aims to confront and debate the issues faced by the growing field of experimental economics. For example, as experimental work attempts to test theory, it raises questions about the proper relationship between theory and experiments. As experimental results are used to inform policy, the utility of these results outside the lab is questioned, and finally, as experimental economics tries to integrate ideas from other disciplines like psychology and neuroscience, the question of their proper place in the discipline of economics becomes less clear.This book contains papers written by some of the most accomplished scholars working at the intersection of experimental, behavioral, and theoretical economics talking about methodology.It is divided into four sections, each of which features a set of papers and a set of comments on those papers. The intention of the volume is to offer a place where ideas about methodology could be discussed and even argued. Some of the papers are contentious---a healthy sign of a dynamic discipline---while others lay out a vision for how the authors think experimental economics should be pursued. This exciting and illuminating collection of papers brings light to a topic at the core of experimental economics. Researchers from a broad range of fields will benefit from the exploration of these important questions.

In China's New Red Guards, Jude Blanchette illuminates two trends in contemporary China that point to its revival of Mao Zedong's legacy--a development that he argues will result in a more authoritarian and more militaristic China. Ever since Deng Xiaoping effectively de-radicalized China in the 1980s, there have been many debates about which path China would follow. Would it democratize? Would it embrace capitalism? Would the Communist Party's rule be able to withstand the adoption and spread of the Internet?
