Hyeonseo Lee växte upp under Nordkoreas brutala kommunistregim. Efter 1990-talets hungersnöd i landet började hon tvivla på propagandan och insåg att hon blivit hjärntvättad i hela sitt liv. När hon var sjutton år beslutade hon sig för att fly till Kina. Lee kunde inte återvända hem eftersom hon och hennes familj riskerade fångenskap, tortyr och offentlig avrättning. Hon lärde sig snabbt kinesiska och anpassade sig för att överleva. Tolv år senare återvände Lee till den nordkoreanska gränsen för att göra ett vågat försök att smuggla ut sin mor och bror ur landet och till Sydkorea en svår, dyr och mycket farlig resa. Den internationella bästsäljaren Flickan med sju namn har givits ut i 20 länder och ger en unik inblick i en av världens mest hänsynslösa diktaturer. HYEONSEO LEE växte upp i Nordkorea men flydde till Kina 1997. År 2008 kom hon till Seoul i Sydkorea. Hon är numer en van talare på den internationella scenen och kämpar för mänskliga rättigheter och att förbättra nordkoreanernas svåra situation. Hennes TED-talk har visats nära 9 miljoner gånger. "Det här är en sådan där bok där man i slutet av kapitlen döljer de kvarvarande orden med handen eller bokmärket för att det är så spännande. Det är helt enkelt en bladvändare."Kommunalarbetaren "En på samma gång spännande och gripande biografi."Ölandsbladet "en substansrik och i många avseenden aktuell skildring av tillvaron i en sluten diktatur. Den bjuder också en bitvis fängslande skildring av en oppositionell persons vägran att underordna sig förtryck. Exilens villkor skildras på ett tankeväckande sätt."Signum "Hyeonsoe Lee berättar trovärdigt och levande om sin uppväxt och om vardagslivet i Nordkorea. [Boken] har blivit en internationell bestseller och det är lätt att förstå varför."Arbetarbladet
För länge sedan hittade Morifiskare ett övergivet barn på en flotte. Utan en enda ledtråd om pojkens förflutna hamnade han slutligen under den vandrande vålnadens beskydd, och blev känd i de djupa skogarna som djungelpojken Rex King.
När Kate Sommerset blir kidnappad av piraterna som mördade hennes far vänds hennes värld upp och ner. Hon blir piraternas drottning, och således Fantomens svurna fiende, något som gör deras spirande romans till en livsfarlig lek. Boken är tryckt i en begränsad upplaga om 1000 exemplar.

Co-authored by three prominent philosophers of art, Jazz and the Philosophy of Art is the first book in English to be exclusively devoted to philosophical issues in jazz. It covers such diverse topics as minstrelsy, bebop, Voodoo, social and tap dancing, parades, phonography,musical forgeries, and jazz singing, as well as Goodman’s allographic/autographic distinction, Adorno’s critique of popular music, and what improvisation is and is not. The book is organized into three parts. Drawing on innovative strategies adopted to address challenges that arise for the project of defining art, Part I shows how historical definitions of art provide a blueprint for a historical definition of jazz. Part II extends the book’s commitment to social-historical contextualism by exploring distinctive ways that jazz has shaped, and been shaped by, American culture. It uses the lens of jazz vocals to provide perspective on racial issues previously unaddressed in the work. It then examines the broader premise that jazz was a socially progressive force in American popular culture. Part III concentrates on a topic that has entered into the arguments of each of the previous chapters: what is jazz improvisation? It outlines a pluralistic framework in which distinctive performance intentions distinguish distinctive kinds of jazz improvisation.This book is a comprehensive and valuable resource for any reader interested in the intersections between jazz and philosophy.

An essential text for PA courses on Human Resource Management as well as Public Management and Law, this book illuminates the role of the reasonable public servant, who strives to perform authorized functions efficiently, yet in a manner that aligns with constitutional values embodied in the Bill of Rights. "A Reasonable Public Servant" provides a comprehensive review of Supreme Court opinions in explaining the reasonable conduct of a public servant and the development of clearly established constitutional and statutory rights that a reasonable public servant is expected to observe: property rights; procedural due process; freedom of critical speech; privacy; equal protection; and anti-discrimination laws. The author relies on the Court's opinions as the exemplar of public reason, and pays close attention to the manner in which the Court balances among competing value priorities - for example, the rights of a public servant as an employee as well as an individual citizen, and the efficiency needs of the government as an employer as well as a sovereign state. This book's detailed appendices include the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Evil Relations (formerly published as Witness)

The chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders trial gives his account of the case after more than four decades of silenceDespite standing as chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders trial, David Smith was vilified by the public due to the accusations thrown at him by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady about his involvement in their crimes. Hindley's later confession that she and Brady had lied in an attempt to reduce their sentences did little to diminish the slurs against his name. For over four decades, Smith was asked by writers and film-makers to tell his story. Apart from a handful of brief interviews, he always refused. Carol Ann Lee met Smith during her research for One of Your Own, her critically acclaimed biography of Hindley, following which he finally agreed to reveal all. In Evil Relations (previously published as Witness), interviews, archival research and, most significantly, David Smith's own vivid memoir are fused to create an unforgettable, often harrowing account of his life before, during and after the Moors Murders.David Smith lived in rural Ireland with his wife prior to his death in May 2012. He is survived by four children and several grandchildren. Carol Ann Lee is an acclaimed biographer and has written extensively on the Holocaust. Her most recent publication, One of Your Own, focused on the life and death of Myra Hindley.
