ville være perfekt i hendes liv, hvis det ikke var for en lille detalje: hun er blind. Alligevel blev hun en selvstændig pige, der selvom vanskelighederne har formået at overvinde det faktum, at ikke kunne se og fører et normalt liv. Men Emily har stadig problemer med kærligheds livet på grund af fordomme mod at blive involveret med mænd, der har en anden livsstil. Men skæbnen ville at hun møder Mathew, hendes yngre nabo: ung, smuk, med tørst for livet. 21, Matt elsker at køre på sin motorcykel, har en tatovering, der fylder hele hans arm og han bliver charmeret af Ems sjældne skønhed. Hun er alt, hvad han nogensinde har ønsket sig, han er det modsatte af alt, hvad hun nogensinde havde forestillet at ønske sig.Most Evil II is Steve Hodel's follow-up investigation (2009-2015) into his father's potential murders and introduces new evidence and additional…
linkage obtained by him over the past six years. Included in that evidence, is the solving of the Zodiac's forty-five year cryptic cipher, which gives us the answer to the question asked in Most Evil, "Were Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac the same serial killer?" The solution of that cipher provides us with the name of San Francisco's most infamous serial killer. However, it is not presented as just another "theory" from some armchair detective, or even from the author himself, a highly respected, veteran LAPD homicide detective. Rather, the solution comes from the killer's own mouth, written in his own hand--it is Zodiac's personally signed confession!By John Balcom. 2011
This new volume of eight short stories, with parallel translations, offers students at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a…
wide range of contemporary literature from the world's most spoken language, without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary. The stories - many of which appear here in English for the first time - are by well-known writers as well as emerging voices. From a story by Li Rui about the honest simplicity of a Shanxi farmer to one by Ma Yuan exposing the seamy underside of contemporary urban society, they are infused with both rural dialect and urban slang and feature a wide range of styles and points of view. Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.By Claudio Ruggeri, Mia Massimo. 2015
Vincent Germano er en lidt gammeldags og intuitiv politimester, som leder en politistation i Castelli Romani, en provinsby syd for…
Rom. Han er født og opvokset i San Francisco, men da han som enogtyve-årig rejser til Italien, tager hans liv en helt anden retning. Det er netop i Castelli Romani, der er skueplads for to situationer, som for alvor sætter Germanos og hans kollegaers dømmekraft på en hård prøve. En "offside" fodbolddommer og sagen om en forsvunden kvinde trækker tråde tilbage til fortidens spøgelser. Germano får brug for al sin medfødte intuition til at løse sagerne. Forude venter politimesteren en spændende jagt og mange søvnløse nætterBy Claudio Ruggeri, Flavia P. 2015

In Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, John Wei brings light to the germination and movements of queer cultures and social…
practices in today’s China and Sinophone Asia. While many scholars attribute China’s emergent queer cultures to the neoliberal turn and the global political landscape, Wei refuses to take these assumptions for granted. He finds that the values and pitfalls of the development-induced mobilities and post-development syndromes have conjointly structured and sustained people’s ongoing longings and sufferings under the dual pressure of compulsory familism and compulsory development. While young gay men are increasingly mobilized in their decision-making to pursue sociocultural and socioeconomic capital to afford a queer life, the ubiquitous and compulsory mobilities have significantly reshaped and redefined today’s queer kinship structure, transnational cultural network, and social stratification in China and capitalist Asia. With Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, Wei interrogates the meanings and functions of mobilities at the forefront of China’s internal transformation and international expansion for its great dream of revival, when gender and sexuality have become increasingly mobilized with geographical, cultural, and social class migrations and mobilizations beyond traditional and conventional frameworks, categories, and boundaries.By John Claiborne Isbell. 2022

Wind Energy for the Rest of Us straddles two—or more—worlds. The book is about wind energy. It’s not just about…
small wind turbines. It’s not just about large wind turbines. It’s about the depth and breadth of wind energy, encompassing more than either type of wind turbine. It includes water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. It’s a sprawling book, one minute discussing how to install small wind turbines safely, the next explaining how farmers in Indiana can earn millions by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines. If it’s a book hard to categorize, that suits its author, Paul Gipe, who likes to think he’s hard to categorize after four decades at the frontiers of renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces a North American audience to the trailblazing electricity rebels who have launched a renewable energy revolution in Europe. The book debunks novel wind turbines their promoters claim will generate electricity “too cheap to meter,” and rebukes revisionist historians who falsely argue that it was the aerospace industry that delivered today’s modern wind turbines. Gipe explains why new wind turbines are part of a silent revolution that is changing the way we use wind energy. This revolution doesn’t garner headlines, but is making wind turbines more cost-effective in more places than ever before, lessening the need for new transmission lines, obviating the need for storage, and fueling rapid growth. Gipe refutes many common myths surrounding wind energy and argues persuasively that wind turbines are productive, effective, and environmentally sound. Gipe argues that wind energy is too important to be left to electric utilities and their subsidiaries alone. Wind energy is also for the rest of us, he says. It is our resource. We can develop it and we can own it--ourselves.By Miriam Godoy Penteado and Ole Skovsmose. 2022
Creating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so…
that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes.By Mo Yan. 1992
Una novela poética y nostálgica en la que Mo Yan muestra su rabia, combinada con una ironía feroz, contra la…
estupidez de la guerra y quienes la libran, y una ternura apasionada por los que la sufren. «El reencuentro de los compañeros de armas» transmite con asombrosa vivacidad los sentimientos de dos veteranos del ejército de las aldeas rurales de la China más profunda. Uno de ellos murió en el frente de forma ignominiosa. El otro llegó a ser oficial. Los dos amigos se reúnen en espacios imaginarios y hablan de la vida, de su infancia campesina, de sus años en los cuarteles, de sus amores frustrados y de las batallas donde, en todas partes, la farsa compite con la tragedia.
