Treasures of Ancient Egypt is a photographic celebration of the wonders of the kingdom of the Pharoahs, from Tutankhamun's tomb to the pyramids, from ancient papyrus scrolls covered with hieroglyphs to golden amulets in the form of ankhs and scarabs.
The Nigerian Civil War, spanning from 1967 to 1970, garnered significant global attention, especially due to the media's portrayal of suffering children in the seceding region of Biafra and the subsequent humanitarian response. This booklet chronicles a seminar where journalists from Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, who reported from Biafra, shared their experiences and perspectives on the conflict and the humanitarian efforts aimed at alleviating the famine. The discussions captured in this document provide valuable insights into Nordic humanitarianism and its ethical dimensions, with relevance for contemporary global aid initiatives and the involvement of Nordic countries in international humanitarian cooperation.
In 1874, in the wake of the War, erasure, trauma, and namelessness haunt civilians and veterans, renegades and wanderers, freedmen and runaways. Twelve-year-old ConaLee, the adult in her family for as long as she can remember, finds herself on a buckboard journey with her mother, Eliza, who hasn't spoken in more than a year. They arrive at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital's entrance by a war veteran who has forced himself into their world. There, far from family, a beloved neighbor, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives. The omnipresent vagaries of war and race rise to the surface as we learn their story: their flight to the highest mountain ridges of western Virginia; the disappearance of ConaLee's father, who left for the War and never returned. Meanwhile, in the asylum, they begin to find a new path. ConaLee pretends to be her mother's maid; Eliza responds slowly to treatment. They get swept up in the life of the facility-the mysterious man they call the Night Watch; the orphan child called Weed; the fearsome woman who runs the kitchen; the remarkable doctor at the head of the institution. Epic, enthralling, and meticulously crafted, Night Watch is a stunning chronicle of surviving war and its aftermath.
How can we understand Foucault’s work on ancient philosophy, and its practices of truth-telling and technologies of the self? While this late phase in Foucault’s thought has often been seen as marking an ethical turn, away from the explicit political stakes of his earlier works, this book articulates the continuities between his engagement with antiquity and political events in his own present.Beginning with a reinterpretation of the question of early and late style in Foucault’s oeuvre, this investigation provides careful readings of his lectures at the Collège de France, showing how the care of the self – the style of existence – unfolds as a critical project. With the notion of the subject developed in Foucault’s late work, the ancient practices of truth-telling can be articulated with modern economic government, introducing a radically new understanding of the concept of critique.Karl Katz Lydén is a writer and critic, editor of Found Review, Swedish translator of Foucault, and author of Poems and Parables on the Political Utility of Art (Bom Dia Books, 2021).
Just like architecture is spatial, there are spaces inside oneself. We construct them, move through them and let them protect us.Abody Abode is a poignant collection of fragmentary stories and architectural spaces are both memories of emotions and made-up moments. The outcome is a modest but also rebellious anthology that tells a story of modern womanhood.

Hazem är son till en utblottad och förödmjukad bonde. Romanen skildrar hans resa till maktens boningar, där han blir en del av den skoningslösa förtryckarmaskinen. Hazem var egentligen inte ondskefull, men han blev grym på grund av den förnedring och de övergrepp som han - och hans far före honom - utsattes för i byn, där han växte upp och sedan i Damaskus, där han försökte finna en plats där han respekterades. Men staden stötte bort honom brutalt. En kärlekssorg tog honom hårt. När han av en ren slump fick möjlighet att träda in i maktens korridorer tog han chansen. Det dröjde inte länge förrän Hazem blev en fruktad man. Inombords var han full av hat.

Centered around a reflective narrative recounting the experiences of a participatory action research project into leading online small groups for adults in the Church of Sweden Diocese of Stockholm during 2021 and 2022, the dissertation argues for the need to reconceptualize and reemphasize teaching as an important aspect in Christian religious education. Employing creative non-fiction methods, the dissertation aims to broaden the scope of the initial Online Small Groups project, by inviting readers to join into a "learning journey." The narrative account is complemented with more traditional forms of analysis that connect experiences from online small groups in the Church of Sweden to similar research from Anglo-Saxon countries, noting especially how notions of community diverge due to different ecclesiological understandings. Insights are then synthesized into eight teaching strategies aimed at communicating actionable knowledge to small group leaders, before noting how the study complements research on Christian religious education and, particularly, the current debate about learning and teaching in the Church of Sweden.
Vid fyllda 50 år gick jag in i väggen. Byråkratins labyrinter tornade upp sig framför mig. Vart skulle jag nu ta vägen? Hur skulle jag tackla det här? Lite paradoxalt var nog den vardagliga byråkratin en stor bidragade orsak till utmattningen.Jag fick ta till den enda metoden jag hade för att försöka komma tillrätta med mitt liv och min stress. Jag var tvungen att skriva mig ur det. Det jag fick ur mig är en historia som spänner över de senaste 40-45 åren. Jag fick gå tillbaka i mina minnen och skärskåda vad som har lett mig till där jag är idag. Är jag som alla andra? Har jag någon form av bokstavsdiagnos? AST? AD(h)D? Kunde jag hitta de grundläggande orsakerna till varför det blev som det blev?

I have written this rollicking adventure book for older children and young adults in which the main characters travel through time and space.
Growing through rough times is painful, it's difficult, and most often it's not a linear journey. Healing is like growing pains; even though the route hurts at times, it's worth it in the end. This poetry collection is split into three parts; Sprout, Grow, and Bloom. Like the life of a plant we heal trauma through these stages. In the beginning it's challenging, things look darker before we pierce through the dirt. Then follows a rough road of progress and setbacks, victories and failure. A long game of acceptance and endurance. In the end, when the growing pains finally are over, we can bloom and thrive like we were always meant to do. Growing Pains is about healing from the darkness in life and beginning to see the light, growing through the pain, and to notice the small things that make everything worth it. Makes the growing pains worth it.
Vissa drömmar är bra, andra är dåliga. Vissa håller hög kvalitet och andra lämnar en besviken eftersmak. Det spelar kanske inte så stor roll, när det viktigaste är att våga. Att drömma är en samling texter som på ett eller annat vis utforskar drömmar. Hos olika människor, i olika världar och med olika bekymmer. Innehåller blandade texter från de senaste fem åren, som berör allt från inköp av en byrå samt tavlor till att sitta med fötterna i Riddarfjärden, ensam eller med sällskap.
If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate? Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.” Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party. If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny? Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. A modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can’t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel.

Uncover the full story behind the War of the Scaleborn in this official companion novel to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. When the world was young, all life shook before the might of Galakrond, a massive primal dragon whose hunger could not be sated. Five primal dragons rose valiantly beside the titan-forged Keeper Tyr to combat this threat. Though the fight was desperate, Galakrond fell by their teeth and talons, and the five were chosen to become protectors of Azeroth. The titans gifted Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos, and Neltharion with Order magic, transforming them into the Aspects: powerful dragons with command of time, nature, life, magic, even the earth itself. Other primal dragons followed on their path, and, imbued with the titans’ power, the dragonflights rose to shape the world and serve the Aspects.That is the tale the dragonflights have always told . . . but it is not the whole story.For as Alexstrasza and her flights set to reshaping Azeroth, not all of dragonkind sees Order magic as a gift. Spurning the titans’ interference, a group of rebel primal dragons are imbued with the elemental powers of the planet and are reborn as the Incarnates. Led by Iridikron, the Incarnates believe that dragonkind should be subservient to no one. They foment a rebellion against the Aspects: what they are and all they represent.Despite the efforts of Alexstrasza and her primal friend Vyranoth to preserve peace, both sides slip closer to violence, as dragons are forced to choose a side or be swept up in the growing conflict. With battle lines and allegiances drawn, the war among dragonkind shakes the foundation of the world. Both sides realize they will have to make sacrifices to secure the future of their kind, sacrifices that will cascade through the ages.
Two years before the events of Stranger Things: Season 4, Eddie Munson—Hellfire Club leader, metalhead, and Hawkins outcast—has one shot to make it big.Hawkins, Indiana: For most, it’s simply another idyllic, manicured all-American town. But for Eddie Munson, it’s like living in a perpetual Tomb of Horrors. Luckily, he has only a few more months to survive at Hawkins High. And what is senior year, really, but killing time between Dungeons & Dragons sessions with the Hellfire Club and gigs with his band, Corroded Coffin? At the worst dive bar in town, Eddie meets Paige, someone who has pulled off a freaking miracle. She escaped Hawkins and built a wickedly cool life for herself working for a record producer in Los Angeles. Not only is she the definition of a badass—with killer taste in music—but she might also be the only person who actually appreciates Eddie as the bard he is instead of as the devil incarnate. But the best thing? She’s offering him a chance to make something of himself, and all he needs to do is get her a demo tape of Corroded Coffin’s best songs. Just one problem: Recording costs money. Money Eddie doesn’t have. But he’s willing to do whatever it takes, even if that means relying on his dad. Al Munson has just stumbled back into Eddie’s life with another dubious scheme up his sleeve, and yet Eddie knows this is his only option to make enough dough in enough time. It’s a risk, but if it pays off he will finally have a one-way ticket out of Hawkins. Eddie can feel it: 1984 is going to be his year.
