Det finns musik överallt – om man bara lär sig hur man lyssnar.
Efter en svår bilolycka kan Annie inte längre spela på sin flöjt och drar sig undan från musiken hon alltid har älskat. I stället lever hon i en värld av tystnad, arg på sin mamma som orsakade bilolyckan och arg för att hon inte kan spela längre. Då träffar hon Noah, som visar henne en familj koltrastar undangömda i busksnåren nära deras hyreshus. Koltrastarnas vackra sång väcker något inom Annie och hon börjar må bättre, tills ett nytt hot dyker upp och koltrastarna är i fara ...
En lättläst, poetisk bok om kärleken till musiken, om förlåtelse och om att hitta en ny mening med livet efter omvälvande händelser.

Helena Falkenskjöld, den äldsta dottern i en adlig och välrespekterad familj, har blivit inbjuden till sin första bal.Med sina blott arton år betraktas hon som en fulländad dam redo att träda ut i samhället. Hon är vältalig, konstnärlig, intelligent och har en talang för pianospel, för att inte nämna att hon är en skönhet. Hon är väl medveten om alla dessa charmiga attribut och när hon ger sig ut för att söka efter en make, börjar hon leta efter någon som kan mäta sig med henne själv. Men hennes stolthet och fasta övertygelse om att hon förtjänar den bäste mannen, leder henne till ett misstag som inte med lätthet förlåts av alla. Hennes nyvunna väninnas broder, herr Oxenberg, tycks ha fått Helenas karaktär klart för sig och är inte villig att skänka Helena sin förlåtelse. Hur mycket hon än försöker att vinna hans vänskap, verkar han fast besluten att hata henne, och i sinom tid tröttnar hon på att göra sitt yttersta för att vara honom till lags.
I skymundan av balen är den första delen i Familjen Falkenskjöld, en serie om romantik i det tidiga 1800-talets Sverige.
Edla Lowbrink föddes den 11:e september 2004.

Novellen Efter balen har beröringspunkter med flera av den ryska författargiganten Lev Tolstojs mest kända verk, däribland Krig och fred och Anna Karenina. Också detta är en berättelse om Ryssland, om kärlek och ytterst om människans natur. Efter balen var avsedd som en protest mot mänsklig råhet och grymhet och från början tänkt att publiceras i en bok till hjälp för de judar som drabbats av pogromen i Chisinau 1903. Men Tolstoj hann inte färdigt i tid och novellen kom att tryckas först 1911, året efter hans bortgång. Efter supén dansade vi den utlovade kadriljen och trots att jag var, som det då kändes, oändligt lycklig, så växte min lycka bara mer och mer. Vi sa inte ett ord om kärlek. Jag frågade varken henne eller ens mig själv huruvida hon älskade mig. För mig var det tillräckligt att jag älskade henne. Och jag fruktade bara en sak: att något skulle skämma min lycka.
Lev Tolstoj (1829-1910) är en av den ryska litteraturens giganter med framgångsrika verk såsom den episka romanen Krig och fred (publicerad mellan 1865 och 1869) och Anna Karenina (i svensk översättning 1885). Tolstoj var även en framstående novellist och det finns ett dussintal noveller publicerade. Novellix ger nu ut Efter balen i nyöversättning av Alan Asaid.
Novellix ger ut små, snygga böcker med en novell per bok. Både klassiker och nyskrivet - allt ifrån Virginia Woolf till Håkan Nesser! Samtliga böcker med originalomslag av svenska formgivare, illustratörer och konstnärer. Novellix-novellerna säljs både styckvis och förpackade i fina presentaskar.

Very English Deceit
The Secret History of the South Sea Bubble and the First Great Financial Scandal
Häftad, Engelska, 2009

The paperback of the critically acclaimed popular history book: the story of the South Sea Bubble which in Balen’s hands becomes a morality tale for our times. A classic collision of political ambition, mercenary greed and financial revolution.The early years of the 18th-century produced two great monuments: one, Christopher Wren’s new cathedral of St Paul’s, an enduring testament to principled craft and masterful construction; the other, an empty fraud of such magnitude that its collapse threatened to overturn monarchies and governments. Its failure delayed the introduction of modern market economies by two generations. Yet the full scale of this monumental deceit was quietly covered up and hidden, its enduring legacy a poorly understood colloquialism: the South Sea Bubble.It was all planned by one ambitious promoter, who had decided to launch ‘a company for carrying on an undertaking of great advantage, but nobody to know what it is’. This eighteenth-century mission statement has now acquired an almost uncanny resonance: these words could aptly have been applied to the bursting of the internet bubble and the collapse of Enron. With the financial scandals that have beset global companies recently, such as Rank Xerox and Worldcom, this tale is all the more relevant today.Balen reveals the full story of corruption and scandal that attended the birth of the first shareholder economy, and with it uncovers a parable for our times.

Professionalism entails the conduct, aims and qualities that characterise a profession. The term is also used to describe education and training standards for the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a specific profession. In practice, professional standards of practice and ethics are agreed upon and maintained by recognised associations. In the past, professionalism has not occupied a central place in built heritage discussions, policy and research. Recent changes in terms of public attitudes and sustainability concerns have had a cumulative impact on the requirements for professionalism in the built heritage sector. The future success of the sector will depend on the availability of adequate professionals and an appropriately skilled workforce. In practice, the built heritage sector involves much more than interventions to conserve, preserve, rehabilitate or restore a heritage structure. Bringing a project to fruition begins with the formulation of a policy, proceeds to the design and execution of intervention strategies and ends with ongoing maintenance of heritage structures and related future programming. This process requires sufficient interactions between different professionals to obtain a common vision and hold that vision throughout a project. At the same time, the sustainability of the sector is also defined by effective governance, societal support and cultural rationales. Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector contains reports on the lectures of the international conference organized by the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (Leuven, Belgium, February 5th-8th, 2018). The contributions in this volume meet the increasing demand for shared information to support the transition towards a more sustainable conservation process. The volume consists of three main parts that deal with practice-led research or scientific research: "Profiles and capacities", "Education, training and quality labels", and "Obstacles and changes".

The concept of preventive conservation has successfully introduced the knowledge that "prevention is better than cure" into the built heritage sector. The benefits of this approach are the cost-effectiveness, the improved protection of heritage values, the reduced risk for accumulating deterioration and additional damage, the prolongation of the physical service life of buildings and building parts and the empowerment of local communities in dealing with heritage. Increasingly, arguments rise against reactive treatment patterns, which result too often in postponed interventions and increasing costs for restoration.WTA-Nederland-Vlaanderen, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation and the Civil Engineering Department of KU Leuven jointly organised an international conference on preventive conservation approaches - including climate and damage monitoring - and how to implement these monitoring tools within a systemic approach. The conference took place in context of the international WTA days, 3-5 April 2019, and the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO Chair on Preventive Conservation, Monitoring and Maintenance of Monuments and Sites (PRECOM³OS).The contributions meet the increasing demand for information, case studies and practical examples to support the transition towards more preventive rather than reactive conservation actions. The volume aims at academics and professionals involved or interested in the conservation of buildings, building parts and heritage.

This text has been written as a practical guide, based on the author’s experience over the last 40 years of daily clinical practice and aiming to place the modern approach to the management of infertility in the context of sound theory and evidence-based therapy. It provides the reader with a comprehensive classification of the causes of infertility, their investigation, and their management. This new edition covers many advances in the understanding and management of infertility and other updates to practice--for example, a greater understanding of the pathophysiology of ovarian aging and ovarian reserve testing; the classification of disorders of ovulation and management of polycystic ovary syndrome; the refinement of regimens for superovulation, improved embryo culture systems, and the use of artificial intelligence for the selection of embryos; assessments for endometrial receptivity and management of recurrent implantation failure; pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) as a therapeutic tool opening up the possibility for aneuploidy screening; as well as the latest thoughts on nutritional health, periconception care, and the exciting new world of the microbiome.

Infertility around the Globe
New Thinking on Childlessness, Gender, and Reproductive Technologies

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This exceptional collection of essays breaks new ground by examining the global impact of infertility as a major reproductive health issue, one that has profoundly affected the lives of countless women and men. Based on original research by seventeen internationally acclaimed social scientists, it is the first book to investigate the use of reproductive technologies in non-Western countries. Provocative and incisive, it is the most substantial work to date on the subject of infertility. With infertility as the lens through which a wide range of social issues is explored, the contributors address a far-reaching array of topics: why infertility has been neglected in population studies, how the deeply gendered nature of infertility sets the blame squarely on women's shoulders, how infertility and its treatment transform family dynamics and relationships, and the distribution of medical and marital power. The chapters present informed and sophisticated investigations into cultural perceptions of infertility in numerous countries, including China, India, the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Egypt, Israel, the United States, and the nations of Europe.Poised to become the quintessential reference on infertility from an international social science perspective, "Infertility around the Globe" makes a powerful argument that involuntary childlessness is a complex phenomenon that has far-reaching significance worldwide.

2018 Choice Outstanding Academic TitleHonorable Mention, 2019 Herndon Book Prize - (SEM-GST)A Queerly Joyful Noise examines how choral singing can be both personally transformative and politically impactful. As they blend their different voices to create something beautiful, LGBTIQ singers stand together and make themselves heard. Comparing queer choral performances to the uses of group singing within the civil rights and labor movements, Julia “Jules” BalÉn maps the relationship between different forms of oppression and strategic musical forms of resistance. She also explores the potential this queer communal space creates for mobilizing progressive social action. A proud member of numerous queer choruses, BalÉn draws from years of firsthand observations, archival research, and extensive interviews to reveal how queer chorus members feel shared vulnerability, collective strength, and even moments of ecstasy when performing. A Queerly Joyful Noise serves as a testament to the power of music, intimately depicting how participation in a queer chorus is more than a pastime, but a meaningful form of protest through celebration.

It has been almost two decades since conditional cash transfer programs first appeared on the agendas of multilateral agencies and politicians. Latin America has often been used as a testing ground for these programs, which consist of transfers of money to subsections of the population upon meeting certain conditions, such as sending their children to school or having them vaccinated. Money from the Government in Latin America takes a comparative view of the effects of this regular transfer of money, which comes with obligations, on rural communities. Drawing on a variety of data, taken from different disciplinary perspectives, these chapters help to build an understanding of the place of conditional cash transfer programsin rural families and households, in individuals’ aspirations and visions, in communities’ relationships to urban areas, and in the overall character of these rural societies. With case studies from Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia, this book will interest scholars and researchers of Latin American anthropology, sociology, development, economics and politics.

The Future of the Past is a biennial conference generally carried out during the commemoration date of the incorporation of Santa Ana de Los Ríos de Cuenca Ecuador as a World Heritage Site (WHS). It initiated in 2014, organized by the City Preservation Management research project (CPM) of the University of Cuenca, to create a space for dialoguing among interested actors in the cultural heritage field. Since then, this space has served to exchange initiatives and to promote coordinated actions based on shared responsibility, in the local context. The third edition of this conference took place in the context of the 20th anniversary of being listed as WHS and a decade of CPM as the Southern host of the PRECOM³OS UNESCO Chair (Preventive Conservation, Maintenance and Monitoring of Monuments and Sites). For the very first time, and thanks to the collaboration with the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation of the University of Leuven (Belgium), the conference expanded its local scope. On this occasion, contributions reflected round a worldwide challenge in the cultural field: revealing the paths towards participatory governance of cultural heritage. Participatory governance is understood as institutional decision-making structures supported by shared responsibilities and rights among diverse actors.

Pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) is recognized as a specialist area and clinicians working in PAG need specific expertise. A wide spectrum of conditions needs to be addressed, ranging from simple disorders which respond to basic treatment to complex congenital anomalies with a genetic origin and life-long health consequences. Investigations must be appropriate and treatment should reduce symptoms and distress whilst optimizing gynecological and reproductive potential. Centered upon a series of common clinical presentations, this book includes stepwise guidance on the initial investigations, management, and treatment options. Guidance is supported by the most up-to-date evidence-base, written by clinicians with dedicated clinical and research experience in PAG. New techniques - such as laparoscopic surgery - are included and the importance of the psychological assessment of children with specific PAG disorders is highlighted. The book also includes an authoritative chapter on safeguarding - recognizing the unique opportunity for gynecologists in child protection.
