Silver Coins of the Muslim Caliphate, Volume I, The Umayyad Dynasty is the first book in a series of at least two books. It is a direct continuation of the book Sasanian Silver Coins (ISBN 978-91-982341-0-7). The time frame for the content of the book is CE 652 to CE 751, so just under 100 years. Both the Arab-Sasanian and the Post-Reform silver coins are covered. An attempt is made to list all combinations of mint and year for this period. Identification tools are provided for reading mint, year of manufacture and any name that may appear on the coin. Arab-Sasanian coins mostly use the Middle-Persian language using the Pahlavi script, while the Post-Reform coins use Arabic. Conversion tables for years of different eras, such as Muslim Era, Yazdgerd Era and Post-Yazdgerd Era to the Common Era are also given. Yngve Karlsson is a private researcher living in Göteborg, Sweden. He is a member of the Oriental Numismatic Society and the Göteborg Numismatic Society. After the release of his first book Sasanian Silver Coins, he has given lectures on Sasanian numismatics in Italy, Belgium, Germany, China and The Netherlands. For many years he has helped metal detectorists, museums and universities with the identification of Sasanian and early Islamic coins. Such coins are found in large numbers every year in the Nordic countries using metal detectors.

Sasanian Silver Coins is a reference book for collectors of Sasanian coins. The main obverse types of the silver coinage are described and the coinage in other metals is outlined. This book fills a gap, as other references available today are either far too detalied and expensive, or outdated. Tables with mint names and regnal years written in Pahlavi script makes it possible for the collector to correctly identify a coin. A summary of the history, religion and language of the Sasanian Empire is also given.

Kim H. M. Fado Forsgren, föddes år 1948 i Göteborg men har levt större delen av sitt liv i Värmland. Som den multikonstnär hon är har hon ägnat sig åt författeri, skulptur i trä och andra material, smyckesdesign och annat.    Fröding har länge varit favoritpoeten och hon har i mycket identifierat sig med och fascinerats av expressiviteten i hans diktning som jordnärheten i språket och det mustiga uttrycket genom att skriva på folkmål. Efter att ha lagt märke till att mycket av hennes konst fått en omedveten anknytning till Frödings verk skrevs denna bok med utvalda illustrerade dikter. Som snabbt kommer att framgå för läsaren är Gustaf Frödings diktning långt ifrån föråldrad eller förlegad men speglar väl moderna företeelser i en ångestfylld värld.

Tamás Nyirkos provides a timely and essential reassessment of the concept of the "tyranny of the majority" for the study of democracy today. The analysis is divided into three parts: the first discusses the "prehistory" of majority tyranny; the second reviews the elements of the "standard theory" in the modern era; while the third deals with the current "postmodern" challenges to the prevailing order of liberal democracy.Combining different elements of theories dating from the Middle Ages to the present, Nyirkos theorizes that while the term "the tyranny of the majority" may be misleading, the threat that tyrannical governments justify themselves by reference to the majority will remain with us for the foreseeable future. He shows how some of the greatest political philosophers of the past – democrats and antidemocrats alike – shared the same fears about the majoritarian principle. The Tyranny of the Majority will offer all those who read it a better understanding of what is meant not only by this term, but also by related terms like democratic despotism, populism, or illiberal democracy. It will be of interest to scholars of politics and international relations, political philosophy, political theology, and intellectual history.

Die gemischte Schenkung gehört zu den "Klassikern" unter den Zivilrechtsproblemen. Als teilentgeltliches Geschäft ist sie zwar privatautonom zulässig und in der Praxis verbreitet. In dem von den Kategorien der Entgeltlichkeit und der Unentgeltlichkeit geprägten System des BGB bildet sie aber einen Fremdkörper, dessen friktionslose Integration trotz eines jahrhundertealten Diskurses bislang nicht gelungen ist. Weiterhin bestehen zahlreiche Streitfragen, die nicht selten von Scheinkonsensen bei der dogmatischen Qualifizierung der gemischten Schenkung oder ihrer rechtlichen Behandlung verdeckt werden. Carsten Meinert schafft in einem ersten Schritt Transparenz und stellt die gemischte Schenkung auf ein sicheres dogmatisches Fundament. Anschließend entwickelt er ein Rechtsfindungskonzept, welches die Interessen der von der gemischten Schenkung betroffenen Personen zu einem angemessenen Ausgleich bringt.
