Gunnar Ericsson är inte lika välkänd som sin syster Astrid Lindgren, men hans korta livsbana, 1906-1974, rymde osannolikt många bedrifter på helt olika områden, både politiska och konstnärliga. Hela sitt liv levde han i nära samspel med sin berömda syster.
I boken skildras det genom brev, bilder och Astrids och Gunnars egna barndomsminnen. De sistnämnda känns igen i Bullerbyböckerna Som riksdagsman motionerade han flitigt, bland annat om Ölandsbro och högertrafik, och han var huvudperson när ett av Europas största politiska ungdomsförbund, SLU, byggdes upp med mer än hundratusen medlemmar.
Den insats han själv värderade högst var jordbrukshjälpen till Finland under andra världskriget. Det gjorde honom till en välkänd person i Finland och nära vän till president Kekkonen De humoristiska årskrönikorna om hans samtid, klädd i vikingatida utstyrsel, Svitjodböckerna, illustrerade av EWK, blev storsäljare under 18 år.
Författare är journalisterna Håkan Larsson från Sverige och Lauri Kontro från Finland, båda med chefredaktörskap och ett antal böcker på sin meritlista, samt Gunvor Ruhnström, som är dotter till Gunnar Ericsson, och hennes man, Leif Ruhnström.

Hur fungerar politiska system? Hur är de uppbyggda och hur skiljer de sig åt länder emellan? Det är några av de många frågor som behandlas i denna introduktion till komparativ politik. Här presenteras grundläggande begrepp och metoder, och jämförelser görs mellan centrala institutioner som parlament, regeringar och statsformer, liksom mellan aktörsgrupper som politiska partier, intressegrupper och medier. Därtill diskuteras former för jämförande analys av medborgares politiska värderingar och beteende.Syftet med boken är att ge läsaren en förståelse för hur politiska system är uppbyggda och fungerar samt hur dessa system varierar världen över. I denna tredje upplaga har de globala översikterna uppdaterats, samt nya forskningsresultat och aktuella utvecklingstrender beaktats.Komparativ politik riktar sig till studenter i statsvetenskap. Boken ger tillsammans med Komparativ politik: Elva politiska system (Studentlitteratur 2022) en fördjupad förståelse för komparativ politik utifrån teoretiska och empiriska perspektiv.

Det offentliga sociala arbetet befinner sig i dag i ett tillstånd som innebär att det relationellt mänskliga, strukturella, förebyggande och lokalt förankrade sociala arbetet inte ges tid eller plats. Ett sådant offentligt socialt arbete får svårt att bidra till social förändring. Bokens författare, både forskare och praktiker, värnar ett visionärt socialt arbete som bygger på värderingar om social rättvisa och mänskliga rättigheter snarare än en organisering som bygger på värderingar om effektivisering, ekonomisering, individualisering och svenskhet. Socialt arbete - rörelse, motstånd, förändring diskuterar, ur olika perspektiv, hur viktigt det är med ett kritiskt socialt arbete i ett sammanhang där människor i stor utsträckning görs till utgiftsposter, mätvärden eller invandrare. Ett annat socialt arbete är möjligt! Boken är lämplig för studenter i socialt arbete, verksamma socialarbetare, politiker och andra som intresserar sig för möjligheten att genom socialt arbete åstadkomma hållbar förändring.

Att äta är inte enbart ett sätt att tillfredsställa kroppens behov av näring. Det har också en viktig kulturell, social och psykologisk betydelse. Vår relation till ätande är sällan oproblematisk. I värsta fall kan ett allt starkare psykiskt lidande ta över och då ta sig uttryck i ätstörningar. Ätstörningar drabbar många tonårsflickor och unga kvinnor, och problematiken har under senare år blivit alltmer uppmärksammad. Både anorexi och bulimi är förknippade med stort personligt lidande, betydande samhällsekonomiska kostnader och risk att dö i förtid.
Intresset för och kunnandet om ätstörningar har vuxit kraftigt under senare år och det har byggts upp en gedigen fond av erfarenhet i Sverige. Denna bok vill presentera dessa kunskaper och bidra till bättre kännedom om olika behandlingsmetoder. Fokus ligger på patienter med anorexi och bulimi samt närliggande kliniska tillstånd.
Boken vänder sig främst till behandlare, t.ex. läkare, sjuksköterskor, psykologer och kuratorer, men även till studenter, utbildare, forskare, sjukvårdspolitiker och beslutsfattare. Den inleds med en allmän bakgrund till ätstörningar, där bl.a. historisk utveckling, frågor om diagnostik, epidemiologi, förlopp och prognos samt etiologi tas upp. Resten av boken ger en orientering om olika behandlingsstrategier, där företrädare för ett brett spektrum av metoder framträder (t.ex. kognitiv beteendeterapi, psykoanalytisk psykoterapi, familjeterapi, kroppsterapi, psykofarmakologi). Behandlingsmetoderna reflekterar en mängd teoretiska inriktningar, har skilda målsättningar och använder sig av olika tekniker.
Samtliga kapitel är författade av framstående experter inom respektive område.

Qualitative diary research is a unique tool with strengths that set it apart from other research methods. The diary prioritizes events embedded in context and time, a perspective that serves to destabilize constants, revealing the complex intersectionality of experience. Over the last several centuries, the mechanics of diary-keeping have evolved from simple records of ephemera into a primary research method. Today both archival and solicited diaries are used by social scientists who employ a range of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method data collection technologies.Researchers may consider the very possibility of conducting a qualitative diary study with some hesitation--in addition to sounding like a good deal of work, the method seems somewhat off the beaten path, a bit mysterious, and even kitschy. With a better understanding of what is involved, those who are considering the method may come to find that a diary study is well worth their while. In Diary Methods, Laurie L. Hyers provides her readers with a wealth of guidance and expert insight to ensure the success of their qualitative diary studies. The history of the diary from cultural phenomenon to social scientific method are explored, followed by a discussion of the use of archival and solicited diaries in qualitative designs, diary data collection and management, qualitative analysis and coding, composition and diary report writing, evaluating diary research, and special ethical considerations when using diaries in research.
Digital Social Work

In a rapidly advancing technological culture, social work practitioners are frequently challenged to invent new strategies to meet client needs and foster social change. Despite the Council on Social Work Education's new standards for technology in social work practice, few schools of social work teach the use of technology for practice, and many instructors struggle with the integration this increasingly necessary dimension into education. Digital Social Work is designed to offer engaging, meaningful, and easy-to-use technology content that can be incorporated into generalist and advanced social work practice courses. The chapters in this volume offer instructors and students insight into the knowledge, skills, and values required of those who practice social work 2.0; by providing concrete examples of technology tools, they complement traditional social work curricula dealing with micro, mezzo, and macro systems. Chapters can be used singly--to augment Practice, Research, or Policy courses--or can provide a format to discuss technology in courses addressing practice with individuals, youth, and families. Virtual worlds, social media, GIS, blogs, and many other technology tools are represented in this collection.

The Red Queen Retail Race: An Innovation Pandemic in the Era of Digitization, considers how innovation through technological change has been transforming the retail sector in different markets, and how such change has been accelerated through the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The book is inspired by Alice's encounters of the Red Queen's race in the classic novel Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll (1871), where 'it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place'. This metaphor is illustrative for the service sector that is in a transition from 'a slow world' towards a Red Queen race, where running faster is not enough by itself. It is changing how a consumer society operates, replacing investment in the physical confines of products, stores, and geographical areas, with investment in the apparently unbounded digital universe of information, relationships, and social networks. Online and mobile services enable new entrants to bypass investments in fixed assets and avoid regulatory issues by employing new business models. By leveraging such advantages, technologically-driven international competition has created substantial challenges for established retailers and service providers in domestic markets across the globe. The result is a reconsideration of the role of place in a digital world.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.This book addresses a simple question: how do Russians understand international law? Is it the same understanding as in the West or is it in some ways different and if so, why?It answers these questions by drawing on from three different yet closely interconnected perspectives: history, theory, and recent state practice. The work uses comparative international law as starting point and argues that in order to understand post-Soviet Russia's state and scholarly approaches to international law, one should take into account the history of ideas in Russia. To an extent, Russian understandings of international law differ from what is considered the mainstream in the West. One specific feature of this book is that it goes inside the language of international law as it is spoken and discussed in post-Soviet Russia, especially the scholarly literature in the Russian language, and relates this literature to the history of international law as discipline in Russia. Recent state practice such as the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia's record in the UN Security Council, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, prominent cases in investor-state arbitration, and the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union are laid out and discussed in the context of increasingly popular 'civilizational' ideas, the claim that Russia is a unique civilization and therefore not part of the West. The implications of this claim for the future of international law, its universality, and regionalism are discussed.

Russia, the Soviet Union, and Imperial Continuity in International Law explores the history of imperial ideas and practices in Russian and Soviet engagements with international law. This volume traces the role of international legal doctrines and arguments in facilitating the expansion of the Russian Empire, their transition into Soviet Russia post-1917, and their use after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. Particular attention is paid to Russian and Soviet international legal doctrines concerning the termination of treaties (clausula rebus sic stantibus), identity and continuity of Russia in the context of state succession, hegemonic doctrines such as the great power status of Russia (or the Soviet Union), and various interpretations of balance of power and spheres of influence, including the doctrine of socialist international law. In building its narrative, the book draws extensively on previously under-studied international law periodicals published in Russia and the Soviet Union, including the Soviet Yearbook of International Law, Soviet State and Law and Moscow Journal of International Law.

Lauri Suurpää brings together two rigorous methodologies, Greimassian semiotics and Schenkerian analysis, to provide a unique perspective on the expressive power of Franz Schubert's song cycle. Focusing on the final songs, Suurpää deftly combines textual and tonal analysis to reveal death as a symbolic presence if not actual character in the musical narrative. Suurpää demonstrates the incongruities between semantic content and musical representation as it surfaces throughout the final songs. This close reading of the winter songs, coupled with creative applications of theory and a thorough history of the poetic and musical genesis of this work, brings new insights to the study of text-music relationships and the song cycle.

Public and Private Modes of Musical Discourse

Public and Private Modes of Musical Discourse brings a new contribution to discussions on the difference between the public and private layers of music, which have often centered on issues of stylistic expression such as genre, performance venue, texture, and phrase organization. Symphonies, for example, have historically been seen as public expressions of grandeur with a festive, powerful musical character, while sonatas were associated with the subtler emotions of chamber music and private audiences.Author Lauri Suurpää offers an alternative starting point for the distinction between these modes, grounding the public-private distinction on structure and expression. Focusing on Joseph Haydn's London symphonies and late string quartets, Suurpää exposes the interplay of details and large-scale narrative and unveils a key aspect of the music – its interactions and dialogues between public and private modes of discourse. In structure, if a musical segment adheres to conventional patterns, it is public; if it deviates from them, it is private. In expression, if a musical topic refers to an object shared by a crowd, such as a fanfare announcing a battle, it is public; if a topic refers to emotions felt by an individual, it is private. With sonata theory, form-functional theory, Schenkerian analysis, hypermetrical analysis, and approaching musical expression from the perspective of topic theory, layers of structure and expression are peeled back. Public and Private Modes of Musical Discourse offers a valuable new way into how we discuss eighteenth-century music.

Our minds are speaking to us in codes: warning, helping, identifying our constantly evolving situations in life. Giving readers the tools to interpret this language and to help them understand that the mind through dreams, this is trying to alert the dreamer to a problem or emotion it wants fixed.

This book collates the main research developments around Lean Construction over the past 25 years with contributions from many seminal authors in the field. It takes stock of developments since the publication of Koskela’s (1992) Application of the New Production Philosophy to Construction and, in doing so, challenges current thinking and progress. It also crystallises theoretical conceptualisations and practically situated learning whilst identifying future research challenges, agendas and opportunities for global collaborative actions.The contributors present the development of Lean Construction as a fundamental part of improving construction productivity, quality and delivery of value to clients and users of built infrastructure. In doing so, the book introduces the reader to the foundational principles and theories that have influenced the way we now understand Lean Construction and has provided very useful insights to students, practitioners and researchers on key junctures over the last 25 years. Highlighting the key contemporary developments and using global case study material the chapters demonstrate good practice but also help introduce new thinking to both lay readers and experienced practitioners alike. This book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in Lean Construction and construction management, providing a general understanding of the area, current state of the art knowledge as well as providing an insight into areas for future research.
