Margaret Mitchell – författare

När elden närmar sig och svälten knackar på dörren finns det bara en sak som betyder något: överlevnad till varje pris. Men hur mycket är man beredd att offra av sin själ för att rädda sitt hem och sitt hjärta?

Följ med till ett Georgia i brand, där den gamla världens eleganta livsstil möter krigets skoningslösa verklighet. Scarlett O'Hara är en viljestark och bortskämd ung kvinna som är van vid att stå i centrum, men när inbördeskriget bryter ut slås hennes trygga tillvaro i spillror. Plötsligt handlar allt om ren överlevnad. På familjens älskade plantage tvingas hon kämpa mot svält, plundring och förlust, samtidigt som hon envist klamrar sig fast vid drömmen om en man hon aldrig kan få.

I denna moderna nyöversättning presenteras den dramatiska berättelsen med en härligt lättläst och flytande text som för läsaren rakt in i händelsernas centrum. Det är en gripande skildring av mänsklig uthållighet och passion i en tid då alla gamla regler har slutat gälla. Möt den charmige men farlige Rhett Butler, den ende som vågar utmana Scarletts hårda yta, och upplev en oförglömlig resa genom ett sönderslaget landskap där hoppet är det sista som överger människan. En berättelse om stolthet, fall och viljan att resa sig igen, nu mer tillgänglig än någonsin tidigare.

Accidents on the road are so common place in our lives today it''''s easy to believe that there are plenty of support systems in place for the victims. Death and injuries on the road are construed primarily as medico-legal phenomena, re-inforced both by the way accidents are described and by issues of insurance and compensation for damage and personal injury. But there are many profound psychological and social consequences that remain underestimated. Margaret Mitchell has compiled this collection from leading researchers to examine this neglected area for the unseen victims: the families who have to cope with bereavement or a disabled relative, the driver who has killed but is medically uninjured. It will be of great direct value to psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals and will serve as a useful reference for those in the legal profession, voluntary associations and those with personal experience of road, traffic, accidents needing advice about where to seek further help.

Remember Me brings together contributors from around the world with unique insight on the ways in which one''s relationship with loved ones continues, endures, and perhaps even grows after death.

Much of the available literature speaks of healthy bereavement as letting go of the deceased and moving forward with life. This new text challenges that notion, discussing the meaning attributed to death and to the anticipation of death.

The living, as presented in these innovative chapters, construct social entities of those who have died, via the carrying out of wishes in the Will; pursuing legal claims; or simply attributing certain desires, emotions, or choices to the deceased reconstitutes them as active, even vital, voices even after biological death. Just as life itself, the end of life and death is an interdisciplinary matter. A clear psychological theme and focus ties together these perspectives under three conceptual areas: the anticipation of death; the social life of the deceased and the legal embodiment of the deceased.
