Svenska noveller från Almqvist till Stoor vänder sig till både den nyfikna och experten och kan ses som en systerbok till Svensk poesi som gavs ut 2016. Mer än nittio noveller, såväl kanoniserade klassiker som bortglömda pärlor, av kända och okända författare, har samlats av redaktörerna Ingrid Elam och Jerker Virdborg. En bok att läsa och behålla för alla tider.

ELEKTRONIK HAR INGET IMMUNFÖRSVAR Det är något som inte stämmer med de allt fler trasiga telefonerna som har lämnats in för reparation runtom i landet. De är stendöda. Samtidigt börjar en rad oförklarliga händelser i samhället avlösa varandra. Ett fabrikationsfel i bilarnas mikrochips förvandlar snabbt vägarna till bilkyrkogårdar. Tågen drabbas av elfel, hyllorna i affärerna gapar tomma, sommarförkylningarna blir allt segare och strömavbrotten blir en del av den nya vardagen. På Karlsborgs flygplats står elitsoldaten Gustaf Silverbane redo för utlandsinsats när något går fruktansvärt fel och ett eldsken fyller himlen. Survivalisten Filip Stenvik får se sin tidigare hånade hobby förvandlas till blodigt allvar. I den tilltagande ovissheten driver polisen Peter Ragnhell sina redan okonventionella metoder för brottsbekämpning till sin spets. Samtidigt gör programmeraren Anna Ljungberg en upptäckt som hotar att förändra förutsättningarna för allt mänskligt liv på jorden. Eller är det redan för sent? Efter ännu ett strömavbrott förändras allt. Den mörka hösten går in i en stjärnklar vinter där kaos råder och få överlever. Stjärnklart är första delen i en ny efterlängtad serie av författaren till Midvintermörker och Midsommargryning.

A number of genes have been identified that are associated with an increased body mass index (BMI), the standard measurement of obesity. By analyzing these genes, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of what causes obesity and develop ways to tackle the problem. The study of genes and obesity could lead to new treatments.�Genes and Obesity�reviews the latest developments in the field.

Online Counseling gives practical insight into how professionals can translate and extend their practice to the electronic online medium. The volume provides an overview of current research on the use and effectiveness of counseling online and data on the idiosyncrasies of online behavior and communication. The practical aspects of and skill sets required for counseling online are discussed at length, as are technological, ethical, legal and multicultural issues, treatment strategies, and testing and assessment.

Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics merges two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics and Advances in Optical and Electron Microscopy.

This series features extended articles on the physics of electron devices (especially semiconductor devices), particle optics at high and low energies, microlithography, image science and digital image processing, electromagnetic wave propagation, electron microscopy, and the computing methods used in all these domains.

Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. Originally widely known as the "Willardson and Beer" Series, it has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. The series publishes timely, highly relevant volumes intended for long-term impact and reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field. The volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in academia, scientific laboratories and modern industry.

Produced by microbes on a large scale, methane is an important alternative fuel as well as a potent greenhouse gas. This volume focuses on microbial methane metabolism, which is central to the global carbon cycle. Both methanotrophy and methanogenesis are covered in detail. Topics include isolation and classification of microorganisms, metagenomics approaches, biochemistry of key metabolic enzymes, gene regulation and genetic systems, and field measurements. The state-of-the-art techniques described here will both guide researchers in specific pursuits and educate the wider scientific community about this exciting and rapidly developing field.

Volume 40 of the Advances in Child Development and Behavior series includes 10 chapters that highlight some of the most recent research in the area.A wide array of topics are discussed in detail, including Perspectives on Attachment and Social Cognition Across Generations; Developmental Perspectives on Vulnerability to Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Youth; Development of Future Thinking, Planning, and Prospective Memory; and Family Relationships and Children's Stress Responses.

Each chapter provides in-depth discussions and this volume serves as an invaluable resource for Developmental or educational psychology researchers, scholars, and students.

Brought to you by Penguin.This Penguin Classic is performed by Royce Pierreson, star of Line of Duty, Our Girl and The Witcher. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Michael Alexander. Beowulf is the greatest surviving work of literature in Old English, unparalleled in its epic grandeur and scope. It tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, who has laid waste to the great hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, then with Grendel''s avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side. And it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in a transient world."Alexander''s translation is marked by a conviction that it is possible to be both ambitious and faithful [and] ...communicates the poem with a care which goes beyond fidelity-to-meaning and reaches fidelity of implication. May it go on ... to another half-million copies." - Tom Shippey, Bulletin of the International Association of University Professors of English© Michael Alexander 2003 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
