August Nordenskiöld (17541792) förkroppsligade orden fantast, svärmare och entusiast i deras vildaste mening.

Han firade franska revolutionen genom att dansa på Bastiljens ruiner. Ändå hade han bara ett år tidigare utklädd till bonde hade svettats i ett alkemistiskt laboratorium vid Drottningsholms slott för att tillverka guld åt kung Gustav III. Dessutom spann han i hemlighet planer på att tillverka så mycket guld att hela penningsystemet omstörtades.  Han skrev frenetiskt: om bergsbruk och simning, men allra helst om alkemi, Swedenborg, magi och annan mystik, som hans farbror initierat honom i. Han försökte slutligen att starta en frihetlig utopi i Sierra Leone, där han insjuknade och avled.

Det har skrivits många uppsatser och böcker om August Nordenskiöld, han har varit karaktär i flera romaner och inspirerat till konstprojekt. Men hans egna texter har varit svåråtkomliga, och flera av skrifterna har legat opublicerade i dammiga källararkiv, fram tills nu.

I den här volymen har idéhistorikerna Kell Lekeby och Carl-Michael Edenborg samlat, översatt, introducerat och kommenterat större delen av Nordenskiölds tryckta och otryckta skrifter: uppsatser, skisser, brev med teorier om allt från könsdriften som magins urkraft, detaljerade planer för det perfekta samhället, anvisningar för att krossa penningtyranniet, radikala tolkningar av Swedenborgs lära till simkonst.

Jag har varit så många kvinnor. Elín och Ellen. Elín, en 70-årig rekvisitamakare, mästerlig på avsågade noshörningshorn, kinetiska boaormar, autentiska ärr från syra. Ellen, ett ungt stjärnskott vars pjäs just ska uppföras på en av landets största teatrar. De har träffats förut, Elín och Ellen, men den ena minns inte och den andra har länge försökt glömma. Nu möts de igen, med dramat som fond. Ett drama om sjukdom, ålderdom, alkoholism och vilsenhet. Deras öden speglas i varandra. Ska verkligheten hålla eller falla samman runt dem?Elín, diverse är en skarpsinnigt sammanvävd berättelse om mödrar och döttrar, våld och trauma, makt, glömska och isolering. Boken tilldelades Isländska litteraturpriset 2017, Isländska kvinnolitteraturpriset 2018 och nominerades till Nordiska rådets litteraturpris 2019. Kristín Eiríksdóttir (f. 1981) räknas som en av de mest inflytelserika isländska författarna i den yngre generationen idag.

"[...] ett stycke befriande och vildsint och bångstyrigt berättad litteratur [...] Kristín Eiríksdóttir skapar ett laddat och David Lynch-liknande kammardrama som inte liknar någonting annat den här bokhösten."- Yukiko Duke, Vi Läser

"[...] när man sent i boken får syn på alla små textskulpturer tillsammans, förvandlas de plötsligt till en berättelse som hänger samman, där liv pulserar. Tills det hela, som trots allt enbart är språk, löses upp i något som kan vara ett döende, utplånande av ord och tankar [...] för er som kan tänka er att ta ett kliv över i något extra och speciellt, som gäckar givna förväntningar, är det bara att läsa."- Maria Schottenius, Dagens Nyheter

"Eiríksdóttirs mindre tillrättalagda stilideal är drastiskt och kantigt, och erbjuder en unik blick på världen."- Björn Kohlström, Bernur

"[...] låter med glasklar skärpa läsaren förnimma demensens alla förödmjukelser."- Anne Marie Lundström, BTJ

"[...] aldrig tråkig, aldrig slentrianmässig, alltid djärv."- Isak Adolfsson, Kulturdelen

Breeding Sorghum for Diverse End Uses is a comprehensive overview of all significant global efforts for the genetic improvement of sorghum, a major crop of many semi-arid nations that is suitable for a huge range of uses, from human food, to biofuels. Split into two main sections, the book initially reviews the genetic suitability of sorghum for breeding, also providing the history of the genetic improvement of the grain. Finally, other sections look at specific breeding programs that could be improved in a number of areas, including human food, animal feed and industrial usage.

Readers in academics, research, plant genetics and sorghum development will find this resource of great value. In addition, it is essential reading for engineers who utilize sorghum for food, feed and industrial materials in industry.

The Diverse Faces of Bacillus cereus elucidates all characteristics of this microorganism, from its environmental and ecologic relevance, to its veterinary involvement, its clinical settings, most common B. cereus associated food poisoning episodes, and the newest airway disease pictures mimicking the inhalation of anthrax.

Due to its environmental distribution, B. cereus may cause serious, even fatal human diseases. The organism shows many diverse faces, as it is not only a veterinary pathogen, but also used as a biocontrol agent to control vegetable decay due to its natural antimicrobial properties.

Once considered as a mere colonizer or contaminant, Bacillus cereus is nowadays acquiring increasing importance as an agent of nosocomial infections. The book's target audience is familiar with this opportunistic pathogen and will benefit from this clear compendium on the classical and molecular techniques and procedures that may be adopted or followed to correctly identify this intriguing multi-faceted microorganism.

Translating Diverse Environmental Data into Reliable Information: How to Coordinate Evidence from Different Sources is a resource for building environmental knowledge, particularly in the era of Big Data. Environmental scientists, engineers, educators and students will find it essential to determine data needs, assess their quality, and efficiently manage their findings. Decision makers can explore new open access databases and tools, especially portals and dashboards. The book demonstrates how environmental knowledgebases are and can be built to meet the needs of modern students and professionals. Topics covered include concepts and principles that underpin air, water, and other public health and ecological topics. Integrated and systems perspectives are woven throughout, with clues on how to build and apply interdisciplinary data, which can increasingly be obtained from sources ranging from peer-reviewed research appearing in scientific journals to information gathered by citizen scientists. This opens the door to using vast amounts of open data and the necessary quality assurance and metadata considerations for their countless applications.

Diverse Pathways to Parenthood: From Narratives to Practice is a timely contribution to the study of reproduction and parenthood.
