Jonatan Stark sitter med som expert vid en hemlig statlig affärskonferens. Mitt under konferensen kontaktas han av en främling som dödshotar en nära vän. Budskapet är att Jonatan måste se till att konferensen ger önskat resultat - annars dör hans vän. Han inser att krafter han tidigare utmanat har vaknat till liv igen.När reportern Betty Lind intresserar sig för en excentrisk IT-entreprenör som bekostat ett flyktingfartyg på väg till Sverige blir hon kontaktad av Säpochefen. På skeppet tycks det finnas en passagerare som kan vara av största betydelse för fredsförhandlingar i Mellanöstern. När hennes egen och tidningens trovärdighet står på spel måste Betty ta allt större risker.För varje timme som går avslöjar Jonatan och Betty mer av dunkla allianser som tycks sträcka sig långt utanför landets gränser. Alla spår leder till den mystiska passageraren på fartyget. Insatserna är höga: stora affärsintressen står på spel - kanske också rikets säkerhet ...Det blinda spelet är Mark Johnsons uppföljare till Den enkla sanningen, som introducerade den idealistiske Jonatan Stark, som ofrivilligt dras in i gråzonen av svenska statens internationella affärer, och Betty Lind, hans klarsynta kumpan som inte skyr några medel för att avslöja sanningen.
The embodied cognition thesis claims that cognitive functions cannot be understood without making reference to the interactions among the brain, the body, and the environment. The meaning of abstract concepts is grounded in concrete experiences. This book explores the impact of the embodied cognition thesis on the scientific study of film. The authors analyze the main aspects of film (narrative, style, music, sound, time, the viewer, emotion, perception, ethics, the frame) from an embodied perspective. By combining insights from various disciplines such as cognitive film theory, conceptual metaphor theory, and cognitive neuroscience, they show how the process of making meaning in film is embodied and how empathy and embodied simulation play a role in understanding the way in which the viewer interacts with the film.

Is He serious? How is this even possible? What should this look like in our lives? Fortunately, God has a plan for out lives that makes it possible to fully receive and enjoy His love, and offer this same love to others ... but some assembly is required.Humans do seemingly impossible things in operating rooms, athletics, art, and other realms, but doing such things requires considerable training. We cannot just show up, do what we feel like doing, and expect exceptional results. Nor, in a relationship with God, can we do things our way and expect His most profound blessings. God has a plan that is designed to radically transfom the life of every Christian, so that our life resembles Hos and our love resembles HIs.The first of three workbooks for The New Covenant shows us the endpoint God desires to each life and outlines His plan to transform our lives. Before we will do what is necessary, though, we must want the life God offers us. Here we carefully consider the life that can become our life if we follow His plan.

One in a Billion: The Story of Nic Volker and the Dawn of Genomic Medicine

"A riveting scientific detective story" (The Washington Post) by two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who chronicle a young Wisconsin boy with a never-before-seen disease and the doctors who save his life by taking a new step into the future of medicine. In this landmark medical narrative, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Mark Johnson and Kathleen Gallagher share the story of Nic Volker, the first patient to be saved by a bold breakthrough in medicine--a complete gene sequencing, aimed at finding the cause of an otherwise undiagnosable illness. At just two years old, Nic experienced a brief flicker of pain that signaled the awakening of a new and deadly disease, one that would hurl him and his family into a harrowing journey in search for a lifesaving cure. After his symptoms stump every practitioner, it becomes clear that Nic's is a one in a billion case, a disease that no one has ever seen before. As Nic and his family search for answers, the scientific community is racing to bring about the next revolution in medicine--translating results from the Human Genome Project to treatments for actual patients. At the forefront is the brilliant geneticist Howard Jacob, who starts a lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Then Nic's head physician reaches out to Jacob with an unprecedented of idea. A disease like Nic's is likely due to a rare mutation: if they could sequence his genes to try to find the mutation, the boy might live. Jacob doesn't know if he can do it; Nic's doctors don't know if it will even work; and no one knows what else might lie in the Pandora's Box of Nic's genome. But they decide to try--and in doing so, they step into a new era of medicine. One in a Billion is "a compelling story of a modern medical miracle--the first instance of personalized medicine" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) and the birth of a scientific revolution.

Out of tragedy comes a miracle...Miriam's miracle This medical memoir is wrapped in a love story like no other, demonstrating God's love throughout the most desperate moments and a husband's unwavering and decades-long devotion to his wife. Imagine experiencing a work-related injury that spirals into decades of life-altering pain and suffering. Imagine fighting a system that seems stacked against you. And imagine a husband-turned-advocate who documents the ordeal, sharing the raw details of an uphill climb through the halls of medicine and courtrooms. As a wife, mother, and employee, Miriam Johnson's nightmare began with a slip-and-fall accident that set her husband and nine-year-old son on a trajectory of caregiving that they never could have imagined. The Johnson family's story is love personified - a transcendent and stubborn love made possible by faith, courage, and God's ultimate timing. Miraculously, Miriam recovered well after her son was grown and had a family of his own. Her husband, Mark, lovingly recounts the "then" and "now" and shares his dear wife's victory over impossible odds.

People use metaphors every time they speak. Some of those metaphors are literary - devices for making thoughts more vivid or entertaining. But most are much more basic than that - they're "metaphors we live by", metaphors we use without even realizing we're using them. In this book, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning. Bringing together the perspectives of linguistics and philosophy, Lakoff and Johnson offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind. And for this new edition, they supply an afterword both extending their arguments and offering a fascinating overview of the current state of thinking on the subject of the metaphor.

Denne bog vil få læseren til at tænke over sproget på en helt ny måde. For metaforer er ikke forbeholdt poesien eller retorikken, hævder Lakoff og Johnson, de er en del af hverdagens sprog, og de påvirker måden vi tænker, opfatter og handler på. Tag den begrebsmæssige metafor DISKUSSION ER KRIG. Vi siger: ”Jeg slog hårdt ned på alle svage punkter i hans oplæg”, ”Hendes kritik ramte plet”, ”Han skød min teori i sænk”. Men som forfatterne skriver, ”Det er vigtigt at forstå, at vi ikke bare taler om diskussioner vha. udtryk, der har med krig at gøre. Vi kan faktisk vinde eller tabe diskussioner. Vi betragter den person vi diskuterer med, som vores modstander. Vi angriber hans holdninger, og vi forsvarer vores egne ... I den forstand er metaforen DISKUSSION ER KRIG en vi lever med i vores kultur; den strukturerer de handlinger vi udfører, når vi diskuterer.” Lakoff og Johnson hævder dermed, at metaforen er selve grundlaget for vores måde at opfatte verden på. Hverdagens metaforer er fra 1980, men er allerede blevet en sprogvidenskabelig klassiker. Bogen, der nu for første gang foreligger på dansk, er et vigtigt bidrag til hvad der i dag anses for at være den mest produktive metaforteori. George Lakoff er professor i lingvistik ved University of California i Berkeley og forfatter til Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things. Mark Johnson er professor i filosofi ved University of Oregon og forfatter til The Body in the Mind. Sammen har de desuden skrevet Philosophy in the Flesh. Oversat fra amerikansk efter Metaphors We Live By af Ulrik Hvilshøj og Hanne Salomonsen.
