Tidernas största rymdäventyr som seriebok! På över tvåhundra sidor berättas här historien om Anakin Skywalkers uppgång och fall, från hans tid som begåvad Jedi-lärling till hur han blev en av de mest fruktade utövarna av Kraftens mörka sida. Det är en episk science fiction-saga full av äventyr, dueller med ljussablar och rymdstrider, där Anakins tragiska öde ska visa sig förödande för dem han älskar mest – Obi-Wan Kenobi och Padmé Amidala – och i slutändan för hela galaxen. Här får vi nämligen vara med om den galaktiska republikens förfall till politiskt kaos, och hur den ondskefulle Kejsaren Palpatine manipulerar sin väg till oinskränkt makt.
Star Wars episod I-III är prequel-trilogin till de klassiska filmerna om Luke Skywalkers och rebellernas kamp mot Darth Vader och Imperiet (episod IV-VI). Den grafiska romanen återberättar i serieformat Star Wars-filmerna: ”Episod I - Det mörka hotet”, ”Episod II - Klonerna anfaller”, och ”Episod III - Mörkrets hämnd”.
Den älskade Star Wars-sagan är en klassisk berättelse om kampen mellan gott och ont. Mot en bakgrund av politiska intriger och maktspel utforskas mänskliga teman som förlust, kärlek och lojalitet, och hur våra val kan få en avgörande betydelse.

Contemporary Issues in Islamic Law, Economics and Finance

This book explores how Islam can impact the structures and performance of firms, financial institutions and capital markets across a range of countries and industries.The Islamic finance industry represents an important reality not only because of the oil wealth of the Gulf states, which have fueled demand for such financial services, but also for an increased demand from a growing Muslim population in the West that aspires to express a full and all-inclusive religious identity. The increased demand for Muslim financial institutions has prompted Western non-Islamic firms to begin providing these services in an interesting effort of acculturation to the new plural scenario.By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, which also takes into account the theological, legal and geopolitical framework, the book offers a comprehensive picture of Islamic financial tools, contracts and business opportunities. Drawing on different fields of expertise, it deals with various themes, such as the theological roots of Islamic economics and finance and its geopolitical impact; the EU policy of cooperation with MENA and GCC countries; the instruments of Islamic finance, its legal principle and ability to become an instrument for enhancing business opportunities; the functioning of Islamic banks; the development of capital markets within a financial model influenced by religious constraints and, finally, the new relationships of this religious financial system with Western legal systems. The book thus provides a complete and extensive overview of the practice of Islamic finance through the lenses offered by studies of economics and management.Providing a careful analysis and an integrated framework of geo-economic and political issues, the book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and professionals in International Business, Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management, Law and Religion and Intercultural Studies.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity considers how contemporary cultural and religious diversity challenges legal practice, how legal practice responds to that challenge, and how practice is changing in the encounter with the cultural diversity occasioned by large-scale, post-war immigration. Locating actual practices and interpretations which occur in jurisprudence and in public discussion, this volume examines how the wider environment shapes legal processes and is in turn shaped by them. In so doing, the work foregrounds a number of themes principally relating to changing norms and practices and sensitivity to cultural and religious difference in the application of the law. Comparative in approach, this study places particular cases in their widest context, taking into account international and transnational influences on the way in which actors, legal and other, respond.

A decade after the “Arab springs”, the book aims to provide a concise perspective on the political, social and economic challenges of the southern shore of the Mediterranean a decade after the “Arab springs”. The volume, both from a sociolegal and economic perspective, aims to offer readers an analytical and up-todatepicture of the transformations in several particularly significant countries in the area under consideration. The volume thus covers the entire north African and near Eastern coastal belt, from Morocco to Lebanon, and extends its focus into the Gulf. In particular, keeping in the background the Agenda 2020-2030, the book explores, on the one side, the role of the religious factor in the transformation of the constitutional orders and, on the other, the perspectives of economies of MENA region in the decade that followed the “Arab springs”. In a different way, the Arab springs were characterized, from a constitutional point of view, by the attempt at a different relationship between political power and religion. This new arrangement, particularly evident in the Tunisian Constitution, but not absent in other contemporary experiences, was associated with favorable and expanding economic prospects. The book questions the relevance of this reading and how economic and political factors affected subsequent transformations. The situation of each country is individual in that it differs depending on many factors, starting with historical and geographical factors that have profoundly influenced social, political and economic structures. What is to be expected for the MENA region in the light of Agenda 2020-2030? Which are the major opportunities for growth and reform and which are the main risks? By adopting a multidisciplinary approach this book will offer a comprehensive picture of the main political and economic challenges for MENA region.

This book investigates the role of Islam and religious freedom in the constitutional transitions of six North African and Middle Eastern countries, namely Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, and Palestine. In particular, the book, with an interdisciplinary approach, investigates the role of Islam as a political, institutional and societal force. Issues covered include: the role played by Islam as a constitutional reference – a "static force" able to strengthen and legitimize the entire constitutional order; Islam as a political reference used by some political parties in their struggle to acquire political power; and Islam as a specific religion that, like other religions in the area, embodies diverse perspectives on the nature and role of religious freedom in society. The volume provides insight about the political dimension of Islam, as used by political forces, as well as the religious dimension of Islam. This provides a new and wider perspective able to take into account the increasing social pluralism of the South-Mediterranean region. By analyzing three different topics – Islam and constitutionalism, religious political parties, and religious freedom – the book offers a dynamic picture of the role played by Islam and religious freedom in the process of state-building in a globalized age in which human rights and pluralism are crucial dimensions.

Fuel injection systems and performance is fundamental to combustion engine performance in terms of power, noise, efficiency, and exhaust emissions. There is a move toward electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emissions, but this is unlikely to be a rapid transition, in part due to EV batteries: their size, cost, longevity, and charging capabilities as well as the scarcity of materials to produce them. Until these isssues are resolved, refining the spark-ignited engine is necessary address both sustainability and demand for affordable and reliable mobility. Even under policies oriented to smart sustainable mobility, spark-ignited engines remain strategic, because they can be applied to hybridized EVs or can be fueled with gasoline blended with bioethanol or bio-butanol to drastically reduce particulate matter emissions of direct injection engines in addition to lower CO2 emissions.In this book, Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo provide a full review of spark-ignited engine fuel injection systems. The most popular typologies of fuel injection systems are considered, with special focus on state-of-the-art solutions. Dedicated sections on the methods for air mass evaluation, fuel delivery low-pressure modules, and the specific subsystems for idle, cold start, and warm-up control are also included. The authors pay special attention to mixture formation strategies, as they are a fundamental theme for SI engines. An exhaustive overview of fuel injection technologies is provided, and mixture formation strategies for spark ignited combustion engines are considered. Fuel Injection Systems illustrates the performance of these systems and will also serve as a reference for engineers who are active in the aftermarket, offering detailed information on fuel injection system solutions that are mounted in older vehicles.

This provides a new and wider perspective able to take into account the increasing social pluralism of the South-Mediterranean region. By analyzing three different topics – Islam and constitutionalism, religious political parties, and religious freedom – the book offers a dynamic picture of the role played by Islam and religious freedom in the process of state-building in a globalized age in which human rights and pluralism are crucial dimensions.
