Dette er historien om Snartemosverdet – et av Norges flotteste gravfunn. Sverdet ble funnet i en germansk høvdinggrav i 1933. Det var dekorert med norrøne guder og monstre, og i graven fant man også et vevet bånd, kanskje bandolæret, med hakekors. Det ble lagt merke til utover Norges grenser – ikke minst i Tyskland. Kort tid etter den tyske invasjonen i 1940 troppet en av de fremste nazi-arkeologene, SS-offiseren Herbert Jankuhn, opp i Oldsaksamlingen. Han informerte om at norsk arkeologi nå stod under SS’ beskyttelse. Det ble snart klart hva «beskyttelsen» innebar. Kirke- og undervisningsdepartementet ønsket utlevert en gjenstand «for et bestemt formål». Nemlig SS-fører Heinrich Himmlers forestående Norgesbesøk. Det ble starten på en fem år lang kamp om Snartemosverdet og Norges kulturarv. På den ene siden stod norske og tyske nazister. De ville utnytte fortiden og bruke den som propaganda. På den andre siden en gruppe usannsynlige helter: Norske arkeologer som ville sikre den norske kulturarven og beskytte fortiden mot misbruk.
First published in 1980. This volume is an account of the withdrawal of the United Nations Emergency Force leading to the Six-Day War of June 1967 or the Sinai blunder.
Lie Detection and Criminal Interrogation is a comprehensive guide to the techniques and methods used by law enforcement professionals to detect deception and extract information from suspects during criminal investigations. Written by Fred Edward Inbau, a renowned expert in the field of criminal justice, this book covers a wide range of topics related to lie detection and interrogation, including the history and evolution of these techniques, the science behind them, and the legal and ethical considerations that must be taken into account when using them in criminal investigations.The book begins by providing an overview of the different types of deception and the various ways in which they can be detected, including through the analysis of verbal and nonverbal cues, physiological responses, and behavioral patterns. It then delves into the various methods of interrogation, including the Reid Technique, the Kinesic Interview, and the Cognitive Interview, and provides practical guidance on how to apply these techniques effectively in real-world situations.Throughout the book, Inbau emphasizes the importance of ethical and legal considerations when using lie detection and interrogation techniques, and provides guidance on how to ensure that these techniques are used in a responsible and effective manner. He also discusses the potential limitations and pitfalls of these techniques, and provides advice on how to avoid common mistakes and errors.Overall, Lie Detection and Criminal Interrogation is an essential resource for anyone involved in law enforcement or criminal justice, as well as for anyone interested in the science of deception and the art of interrogation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Understanding of polymer interactions is important for effective processing of plastics and their blends, mixing with nanoparticles, and understanding of their mechanical and physical (e.g., electrical) properties. This book describes a new physics of interactions in polymers that challenges existing theories, and explains the concept of entanglement in a very different way.Rheology is formulated with different parameters defi ning the physics of dual-phase and cross-dual-phase. The rubbery behavior of thermoplastics is explained quite differently to conventional theory.Rheo-fluidification experiments which are applicable to industry (injection molding, extrusion, sheet forming, etc.) are described and analyzed, including molding under conditions of reduced viscosity (up to several hundred percent). The application of this theory to industry has already been proven by a number of successful derived inventions.
This book focuses on the characterization of the amorphous phase of polymers, whether they are pure amorphous or semi-crystalline ones, above Tg or below Tg, by studying the relaxation of dipoles and space charges naturally found in their structure after they have been activated by the application of a voltage field. The experimental deconvolution of the relaxation modes responsible for internal motion in the amorphous phase is coupled with a mathematical procedure (Thermal-Windowing Deconvolution-TWD) that leads to the understanding of their coupling characteristics which, it is shown, relate to the state of the material itself, for instance its non-equilibrium state or its internal stress for matter belonging to interfaces between aggregated or dispersed phases. Describes quantitatively the Thermal Stimulated Depolarization techniques of polymer characterization (TSD, TWD), i.e. how to decouple the relaxation modes collectively interacting (interactive coupling) and relate it to the thermodynamic properties of the amorphous phase. Understands the results of depolarization in terms of the new physics of polymer interactions: the Dual-Phase model, here applied to the dipoles-space charge dynamics. Provides a roaster of CASE STUDIES: practical applications of the TSD and TWD characterization techniques to describe coupled molecular motions in resins, medical tissues, wood, blends and block copolymers interfaces, rubbers, can coatings, internal stress in molded parts, etc

The updated second edition of best-selling Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogation and Confessions teaches readers how to identify and interpret verbal and nonverbal behaviors of both deceptive and truthful people, and how to move toward obtaining solid confessions from guilty persons. The Reid Technique is built around basic psychological principles and presents interrogation as an easily understood nine-step process. Separated into two parts, What You Need to Know About Interrogation and Employing the Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation, this book will help readers understand the effective and proper way that a suspect should be interrogated and the safeguards that should be in place to ensure the integrity of the confession.
I think this is an amazing piece of work. The language is voluptuous, sinuous, rich in colour and delicious play of and on words...an astonishing virtuoso symphonic stream. The passion of it is head-on and the pain and sensuality in startling measure and degree. I revelled.Graeme Fife -WriterMythic, magical and poetic, Girl takes us on an extraordinary journey through loss and transformation. At once an oneiric coming of age novel and an exploration of the violence of sexism and colonialism, Girl is an intense and unique read."Jan Fortune -Author and Editor at Cinnamon Press--
