I alla tider har människor försökt förklara det de inte förstått. I gammal folktro kunde saker som naturfenomen och olyckor förklaras med väsen. Folktron hjälpte människor att förstå och hantera det skrämmande och okontrollerbara i livet. Så uppstod berättelser om väsen som troll, mylingar och maror. Här presenteras tolv väsen ur den nordiska folktron, med fakta, förklaringar om vad de kan ha betytt för människor som levde förr och med varsin sägen som har berättats om dem. Det är läskigt, sorgligt, roligt och lite snuskigt! Här finns också fakta om magiska växter och magiska föremål som sägs ha kunnat hjälpa mot faror och sjukdomar. Spännande och faktaspäckat för mellanstadiebarn!

Texten är skriven av Ingela Korsell och faktagranskad av etnologiprofessor Ulf Palmenfelt och har maffiga färgillustrationer av Reine Rosenberg.

Till den här boken finns en lärarhandledning och ett quiz.

Boken är en självbiografi, som beskriver min livsresa som HBTQ person.

Författaren leder läsaren i bevis vem som var gärningsman vid mordet på statsminister Olof Palme. Vittnespsykologiska utvärderingar har gjort på Lisbeth Palme, Anders Björkman och delvis på Leif Ljungqvist vittnesutsagor. Gärningsmannen berättar själv om konstruktionen på sitt falska vittnesmål. Författaren har gjort en vittnesanalys på gärningsmannens utsagor under total lögnhypotes. Flera kapitel handlar om gärningsmannens motivbild som denne själv får berätta om. Boken går djupt in i gärningsmannens psyke, både före och efter dådet. Författaren visar på hur en ny tolkning av vittnesutsagor binder gärningsmannen till brottet.

Författaren är medium och präst. Denne återger mördarens egen berättelse. Gärningsmannen berättar om till exempel varför han inte sköt ett tredje skott mot Lisbeth Palme. Mordet löstes efter 40 år.

"Bibeln avslutas med en magnifik final i Uppenbarelseboken – Guds slutliga ord fram till herren Jesu återkomst.” Reine Toth "Vem har inte gått vilse i Uppenbarelseboken? Märkliga syner, symboler och siffror – för att inte tala om de många tolkningarna. Kanske inte så konstigt att många bibelläsare förpassat Uppenbarelseboken till avdelningen ’Glömda böcker’. Men min övertygelse är att Uppenbarelseboken behöver återerövras som ett levande tilltal från Gud. Reine Toths lättillgängliga och sunda guide kan förhoppningsvis bidra till detta." Mikael Tellbe Docent i Nya testamentet, lektor vid Örebro Teologiska Högskola och pastor inom Evangeliska Frikyrkan (EFK). Författare till bl a Lammet och odjuret: en guide till Uppenbarelseboken (Libris) Bibelguiden ger vägledning in i Nya testamentets böcker. Serien är en hjälp för den som vill utveckla sin relation till Bibeln – till djupare förståelse för vad texten betydde för de ursprungliga mottagarna och djupare efterföljelse i det egna livet. Utformningen med korta kärnfulla kapitel och ett omfångsrikt frågematerial gör att den lämpar sig väl både för bibelstudiegrupper och enskild bibelläsning. Seriens författarskara utgörs av unga ledare inom den svenska kristenheten.

`Dear sister!' said Charles IX, `there is blood on your sleeve!' `And what consequence is that, Sire,' said Marguerite, `if I have a smile upon my lips?' Saint Bartholomew's Day 1572. Paris is awash with the blood of Huguenots slaughtered by order of Charles IX. Or perhaps of Catherine de Medicis, one of history's great monsters? Or the ambitious Duke de Guise? Or the Duke d'Anjou, soon to be the reluctant King of Poland? The answer will be found in the secret passageways of the Louvre and the torture chamber of the fortress of Vincennes. It takes an iron nerve and a cool head to survive. Young Henry of Navarre has both in abundance, but he has more: he has his Queen, the beautiful, cultured Margot. Staking all on love and losing, she remains defiant in defeat. La Reine Margot (1845) is a novel of suspense and drama which recreates the violent world of intrigue, murder and duplicity of the French Renaissance. Dumas fills his canvas with a gallery of unforgettable characters, unremitting action and the engaging generosity of spirit which has made him one of the world's greatest and best-loved story-tellers. This revised edition of the classic translation of 1846 is richly annotated. An introduction sets Dumas and his work in their literary, historical and cultural context.

This book brings together an ensemble of leading voices from the fields of economics, language policy, law, political philosophy, and translation studies. They come together to provide theoretical perspectives and practical case studies regarding a shared concern: translation policy. Their timely perspectives and case studies allow for the problematizing and exploration of translation policy, an area that is beginning to come to the attention of scholars. This book offers the first truly interdisciplinary approach to an area of study that is still in its infancy. It thus makes a timely and necessary contribution. As the 21st century marches on, authorities are more and more confronted with the reality of multilingual societies, and the monolingual state polices of yesteryear seem unable to satisfy increasing demands for more just societies. Precisely because of that, language policies of necessity must include choices about the use or non-use of translation at different levels. Thus, translation policy plays a prominent yet often unseen role in multilingual societies. This role is shaped by tensions and compromises that bear on the distribution of resources, choices about language, legal imperatives, and notions of justice. This book aims to inform scholars and policy makers alike regarding these issues.

Exploring the Implications of Complexity Thinking for Translation Studies considers the new link between translation studies and complexity thinking. Edited by leading scholars in this emerging field, the collection builds on and expands work done in complexity thinking in translation studies over the past decade. In this volume, the contributors address a variety of implications that this new approach holds for key concepts in Translation Studies such as source vs. target texts, translational units, authorship, translatorship, for research topics including translation data, machine translation, communities of practice, and for research methods such as constraints and the emergence of trajectories. The various chapters provide valuable information as to how research methods informed by complexity thinking can be applied in translation studies.Presenting theoretical and methodological contributions as well as case studies, this volume is of interest to advanced students, academics, and researchers in translation and interpreting studies, literary studies, and related areas.

This volume highlights a range of perspectives on the ways in which complexity thinking might be applied in translation studies, focusing in particular on methods to achieve this. The book introduces the topic with a brief overview of the history and conceptualization of complexity thinking. The volume then frames complexity theory through a variety of lenses, including translation and society, interpreting studies, and Bible translation, to feature case studies in which complexity thinking has successfully been or might be applied within translation studies. Using complexity thinking in translation studies as a jumping off point from which to consider the broader implications of implementing quantitative approaches in qualitative research in the humanities, this volume is key reading for graduate students and scholars in translation studies, cultural studies, semiotics, and development studies.
