Den amerikanska underrättelsen har upptäckt en oroväckande aktivitet i den ryska flottan. Men det är inte förrän marinofficer Katie Ryan, presidentens skarpsinniga yngsta dotter, får bitarna att falla på plats som de förstår att det handlar om en tungt bestyckad ubåt med en skrämmande stor räckvidd.
Det blir en kamp mot klockan att avgöra var ubåten befinner sig och om den utgör ett hot mot den amerikanska kontinenten. Blir president Jack Ryan tvungen att välja mellan att prioritera nationens säkerhet och sin egen dotter?
Jakten under ytan är en lika nostalgisk som spännande uppföljare till Jakten på Röd Oktober. Som alla Tom Clancys #1 New York Times-bästsäljare i serien är den skrämmande realistisk och aktuell, som hämtad direkt från verklighetens politiska spel mellan stormakterna.
TOM CLANCY slog igenom med Jakten på Röd Oktober 1984. Han skrev inte mindre än 18 New York Times-bästsäljare under sin livstid. Redan 1998 lanserades det första Tom Clancy tv-spelet och efter hans bortgång har varumärket förvaltats med stor framgång. Idag finns hans böcker på över 30 språk, tv-serierna avlöser varandra och spelen släpps regelbundet i nya versioner. Flera av böckerna i serien har på ett nästan skrämmande sätt förutspått världspolitiska konflikter innan de uppstått.
Författarparet BRIAN ANDREWS och JEFFREY WILSON har skrivit flera New York Times bästsäljande böcker tillsammans. Brian Andrews är en US Navy-veteran, kärnkraftsingenjör och ubåtsofficer medan Jeffrey Wilson har en bakgrund som kirurg, marinofficer och pilot. De är som klippta och skurna att förvalta arvet efter Tom Clancy.
Nostalgi vävs samman med en andlös intrig i vad som bara kan beskrivas som en värdig uppföljare till Jakten på Röd Oktober. - The Real Book Spy

Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest animals ever to walk the earth, and they represent a substantial portion of vertebrate biomass and biodiversity during the Mesozoic Era. The story of sauropod evolution is told in an extensive fossil record of skeletons and footprints that span the globe and 150 million years of earth history. This generously illustrated volume is the first comprehensive scientific summary of sauropod evolution and paleobiology. The contributors explore sauropod anatomy, detail its variations, and question the myth that life at large size led to evolutionary stagnation and eventual replacement by more "advanced" herbivorous dinosaurs. Chapters address topics such as the evolutionary history and diversity of sauropods; methods for creating three-dimensional reconstructions of their skeletons; questions of sauropod herbivory, tracks, gigantism, locomotion, reproduction, growth rates, and more. This book, together with the recent surge in sauropod discoveries around the world and taxonomic revisions of fragmentary genera, will shed new light on "nature's greatest extravagances."

One of the apparent contradictions which has puzzled observers of East Asian politics is why, despite the region's considerable economic integration, economic governance institutions remain largely underdeveloped. This book stems from the observation that the study of actual forms of economic governance in Asia has been impeded by the dominance of a ‘regionalism’ problematique. Scholars have focused on the emergence – or not – of regional multilateral institutions, seeking to evaluate these institutions’ capacities to enforce disciplines on Asian states. However, they have also neglected prior, and more pertinent, questions regarding the causal determinants of regional economic governance, which animate the contributions to this collection: What factors shape the scale and instruments of economic governance in Asia; and how and why is economic governance being rescaled between the sub-national, national and regional levels? In the chapters of this book, the contributors explore the social and political struggles over the scale and instruments of economic governance. They identify and explain the emergence of a wide variety of regional modes of economic governance, explain the factors shaping the spatial scale of economic governance in Asia, and discern the patterns of regional integration to which they give rise. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Australian Journal of International Affairs.

Towards Sustainable Well-Being examines existing efforts and emerging possibilities to improve upon gross domestic product as the dominant indicator of economic and social performance. Contributions from leading international and Canadian researchers in the field of beyond-GDP measurement offer a rich range of perspectives on alternative ways to measure well-being and sustainability, along with lessons from around the world on how to bring those metrics into the policy process.Key topics include the policy and political impacts of major beyond-GDP measurement initiatives; the most promising possibilities and policy applications for beyond-GDP measurement; key barriers to introducing beyond-GDP metrics; and complementary measures to ensure new measurements are not merely calculated but taken into account in policymaking.The book highlights a distinction between a reformist beyond-GDP vision, which seeks to improve policymaking and quality of life within existing political and economic institutions, and a transformative vision aiming for more fundamental change including a move beyond economic growth. Illustrating the many advances that have occurred in Canada and internationally, Towards Sustainable Well-Being proposes next steps for both the reformist and transformative visions, as well as possible common ground between them in the pursuit of sustainable well-being.
