Antologin Jiddisch i Sverige: mir zaynen do samlar 25 berättelser om ett judiskt språk och kultur som vägrar försvinna. En berättelse för varje år som jiddisch varit ett erkänt nationellt minoritetsspråk i Sverige.
Texterna rör sig mellan barndomsminnen och litterära möten, mellan bänkraderna i shul och barrikaderna, mellan Drohobych och Klippgatan. Skribenterna skiljer sig åt i ålder, bakgrund, politisk och religiös övertygelse, men delar insikten att jiddisch på olika sätt har format dem.
Detta är den första av två antologier där jiddischvärlden står i centrum. En plats dit alla är välkomna. Ett ovanligt rum i dessa tider.
Denna volym är tillägnad Salomon Schulman (1947–2024), som med sina berättelser, översättningar och kloka läkarråd lärde en hel generation att älska, käfta och sjunga – på jiddisch – i Sverige.
Författarna är: Sofia Berg-Böhm, Håkan Blomqvist, Dorotea Bromberg, Karin Brygger, Urszula Ulla Chowaniec, Ronn Elfors Lipsker, Sari Feld, Alexander Freudenthal, Marianne Goldman, Danny Gordon, Bernt Hermele, Kenneth Hyltenstam, Erik Joas, Ulrika Knutson, Hannah Laustiola Frydman, Sara Mannheimer, Stefan Mehr, Tommaso M. Milani, Simo Muir, Morton Narrowe, Adriana Savin, Aviva Scheiman, Abbe Schulman, Salomon Schulman, Jan Schwarz och Leif Zern.

Hur kan människor leva tillsammans i en stad även med skillnader vad gäller geografiskt ursprung, traditioner och religion? Göteborg har ända sedan grundandet varit en mångkulturell stad och i historieskrivningen brukar holländarna som byggde staden, de många tyska köpmännen och de brittiska entreprenörerna nämnas.
Men Göteborg har också en lång och innehållsrik judisk historia, inte minst under 1800-talet då judar var högst delaktiga i stadens ekonomiska, kulturella och politiska liv. Plats i staden lyfter fram en för många okänd berättelse om judisk invandring och integration i staden. Frågor om relationer mellan invandrare och mottagarsamhälle är i dag aktuellare än någonsin.
Den judiska invandringen till Sverige har pågått under olika historiska skeden och har också nästan alltid mött motstånd, ibland med uppenbart främlingsfientliga argument. Boken bidrar med historiska perspektiv på frågor som är aktuella även i vår samtid.
I tjugo kortare och längre kapitel belyses såväl judisk, Göteborgs som 1800-talets historia.
Medverkar gör Karin Brygger, Jens Carlesson Magalhaes, Jan Christensen, Kenneth Hermele, Daniel Leviathan, Aviva Scheiman samt Pia Lundqvist som är bokens redaktör.
Plats i staden fick ett hedersomnämnande vid utdelningen av utmärkelsen Årets Göteborgsbok 2023.

Adrenal Thyroid Revolution
A Proven 4-Week Program to Rescue Your Metabolism, Hormones, Mind & Mood

Skickas
A Yale-trained, board-certified family physician with a specialty in women's health and obstetrics delivers a proven 28-day functional medicine program to heal the overwhelmed, overloaded systems, and prevent and reverse the myriad of symptoms affecting the vast majority of women today.Weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions—for years, health practitioners have commonly viewed each as individual health problems resulting from a patient’s genetic bad luck, poor lifestyle choices, or lack of willpower. Patients, too, have turned to different doctors to alleviate their specific symptoms: an endocrinologist for a thyroid problem; a gynecologist for hormonal issues; an internist for weight, diabetes, and high blood pressure; a rheumatologist for joint problems, and even to therapists or psychologists. While these ailments may seem unrelated, Dr. Aviva Romm contends that they are intrinsically connected by what she calls Survival Overdrive Syndrome, a condition that occurs when the body becomes overloaded. SOS can result from childhood survival patterns or adult life stressors that are compounded by foods we eat, toxins in our environment, viral infections, lack of sleep, disrupted gut microflora, chronic inflammation, and even prescribed medications. Two of the systems most affected are the adrenal system and the thyroid, which control mood, hormones, inflammation, immunity, energy, weight, will power, blood sugar balance, cholesterol, sleep, gut health, and a host of other bodily functions. When these systems become overwhelmed they lead to symptoms like hypothyroidism that can develop into full blow illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and heart disease—all of which have medically provable origins in SOS. The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution explains SOS, how it impacts our bodies and can lead to illness, and most importantly, offers a drug-free cure to find the root cause of your symptoms, developed through Dr. Romm’s research and clinical work with tens of thousands of patients. In as little as two weeks, you can lose excess weight, discover increased energy, improve sleep, and feel better. With The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution, you can rescue your metabolism, hormones, mind and mood—and achieve long-lasting health. Based on decades of clinical experience, Dr. Romm’s proven program provides the tools you need to take back your health:Survival Overdrive Syndrome: Learn why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain are not your fault, but are connected to a bodily state of overload called SOS—and how to turn it off.Adrenal and Thyroid Health: Discover the deep connection between your adrenal system and thyroid, and why healing both is the key to rescuing your metabolism, energy, and mood.Hormonal Imbalances: A drug-free plan to address the root causes of issues from PMS and PCOS to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, and restore your natural balance.The 28-Day Program: Follow a simple, proven plan with clear food and lifestyle changes that can help you lose excess weight, improve sleep, and feel like yourself again in as little as two weeks.

This book is the first major essay volume in over a decade to focus on Tudor and Jacobean painting. Its interdisciplinary approach reflects the dynamic state of research in the field, utilising a range of methodologies in order to answer key art historical questions about the production and consumption of art in Britain in the 16th and early 17th century. The introduction sets the tone for the interdisciplinary approach that is taken throughout the volume .It brings together a discussion of the context for the production of painted images in Tudor and Jacobean England with a selection of technical images of twenty paintings that span the period and demonstrate the information that can be gained from material analysis of paintings.In further chapters, leading exponents of painting conservation and conservation science discuss the material practices of the period, using and explaining a range of analytical techniques, such as infrared reflectography and dendochronology. Questions of authorship and aspects of workshop practice are also discussed. As well as looking at specific artists and their studios, the authors take a broader view in order to capture information about the range of artistic production during the period, stretching from the production of medieval rood screens to the position of heraldic painters. The final section of the book addresses artistic patronage, from the commissioning of works by kings and courtiers, to the regional networks that developed during the period and the influence of a developing antiquarianism on the market for paintings.The book is lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, with reproductions of whole paintings and many details selected to amplify the text. It will be an essential source for those working in the fields of art history, conservation and material science, and of interest to lovers of British Tudor and Stuart painting.

New to Penguin Classics, the astonishing story of the Copernican Revolution, told through the words of the ground-breaking scientists who brought it aboutIn the late fifteenth century, it was believed that the earth stood motionless at the centre of a small, ordered cosmos. Just over two centuries later, everything had changed. Not only was the sun the centre of creation, but the entire practice of science had been revolutionised. This is the story of that astonishing transformation, told through the words of the astronomers and mathematicians at its heart. Bringing together excerpts from the works and letters of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton and others for the first time, The Dawn of Modern Cosmology is the definitive record of one of the great turning points in human history.Edited with Translations, Notes and an Introduction by Aviva Rothman

Horror films have exploded in popularity since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, many of them breaking box-office records and generating broad public discourse. These films have attracted A-list talent and earned award nods, while at the same time becoming darker, more disturbing, and increasingly apocalyptic. Why has horror suddenly become more popular, and what does this say about us? What do specific horror films and trends convey about American society in the wake of events so horrific that many pundits initially predicted the death of the genre? How could American audiences, after tasting real horror, want to consume images of violence on screen? Horror after 9/11 represents the first major exploration of the horror genre through the lens of 9/11 and the subsequent transformation of American and global society. Films discussed include the Twilight saga; the Saw series; Hostel; Cloverfield; 28 Days Later; remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and The Hills Have Eyes; and many more. The contributors analyze recent trends in the horror genre, including the rise of 'torture porn,' the big-budget remakes of classic horror films, the reinvention of traditional monsters such as vampires and zombies, and a new awareness of visual technologies as sites of horror in themselves. The essays examine the allegorical role that the horror film has held in the last ten years, and the ways that it has been translating and reinterpreting the discourses and images of terror into its own cinematic language.

The debate about health care reform has gone on for many years. The debate has generated often innovative ideas for reform that transcend national boundaries. For example, proposals have been made for an extension of health insurance with a framework of social protection; progressive development of funding methods; controls on expenditure; bringing benefits into line with what is actually needed; and the application of technological advances.The book concentrates on health insurance policy innovations in selected countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. In addition this book addresses recent institutional economic findings with regard to application of information technology in health insurance systems. Topics discussed include: new approaches in extending coverage in a health insurance system, confronting resource scarcity: innovative strategies, refining benefits to meet current needs, new institutional and administrative frameworks, and transformation through information technology systems. Many of the innovations presented here have already been integrated into existing reforms and the authors refer to concrete developments in individual countries and regions. This book presents those important innovations to social health insurance systems in industrialized and developing countries that have been brought forward in recent years and, as far as possible, already evaluated. In doing so, the intention is to show developments that are valid for more than one country and could have long term impact on health insurance systems. This book is intended to promote deeper exchanges of experience between differing regions, countries, and health insurance systems. In this way it will stimulate ideas for politicians and practitioners, scientists and other experts.

The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented increase in art forgery, caused both by the advent of national museums and by a rapidly growing bourgeois interest in collecting objects from the past. This rise had profound repercussions on notions of selfhood and national identity within and outside the realm of art. Although art critics denounced forgery for its affront to artistic traditions, they were fascinated by its power to shape the human and object worlds and adopted a language of art forgery to articulate a link between the making of fakes and the making of selves. The Deceivers explores the intersections among artistic crime, literary narrative, and the definition of identity.Literary texts joined more specialized artistic discourses in describing the various identities associated with art forgery: the forger, the copyist, the art expert, the dealer, the restorer. Built into new characters were assumptions about gender, sexuality, race, and nationality that themselves would come to be presented in a language of artistic authenticity. Aviva Briefel places special emphasis on the gendered distinction between male forgers and female copyists. "Copying," a benign occupation when undertaken by a woman, became "forgery," laden with criminal intent, when performed by men. Those who could successfully produce, handle, or detect spurious things and selves were distinguished from others who were incapable of distinguishing the authentic from the artistic and human forgeries. Through close reading of literary narratives such as Trilby and The Marble Faun as well as newspaper accounts of forgery scandals, The Deceivers reveals the identities—both authentic and fake—that emerged from the Victorian culture of forgery.

Worlds Apart: Acting and Writing in Academic and Workplace Contexts offers a unique examination of writing as it is applied and used in academic and workplace settings. Based on a 7-year multi-site comparative study of writing in different university courses and matched workplaces, this volume presents new perspectives on how writing functions within the activities of various disciplines: law and public administration courses and government institutions; management courses and financial institutions; social-work courses and social-work agencies; and architecture courses and architecture practice. Using detailed ethnography, the authors make comparisons between the two types of settings through an understanding of how writing is operative within the particularities of these settings. Although the research was initially established to further understanding of the relationships between writing in academic and workplace settings, it has evolved to examining writing as it is embedded in both types of settings--where social relationships, available tools, and historical, cultural, temporal, and physical location are all implicated in complex ways in the decisions people make as writers. Readers of this volume will discover that the uniqueness of each setting makes salient different aspects of writers and writing, resulting in complex, and potentially unsettling implications for writing theory and the teaching of writing.
