ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Four-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts a glorious tale of identity, resistance, magic and myth. All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading--and destroying the entire universe in the process--the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction. N.K. Jemisin's Great Cities Duology, which began with The City We Became and concludes with The World We Make, is a masterpiece of speculative fiction from one of the most important writers of her generation.
Den söndrade jordens enda kontinent kallas Stillheten. Men jorden är allt annat än stilla: skalv och jordbävningar kommer och går hela tiden. Ibland går jorden in i en Femte Årstid, som kan sträcka sig över flera år. Då antar dessa vulkaniska, seismiska, atmosfäriska och geomagnetiska omvälvningar apokalyptiska proportioner. Genom åren har civilisationen på Stillheten organiserats i ett kast- och rassystem. Utanför det står orogenerna, utstötta ur och förslavade av samhället, men samtidigt nödvändiga för att skydda mänskligheten, eftersom endast de kan påverka och motverka de seismiska krafter som hotar dess överlevnad. Nu råder Femte Årstiden återigen - kommer världen att gå under eller kan någon rädda den?Essun har lyckats hemlighålla för sin man Jija och sin omgivning att hon är orogen. En dag finner hon sin treårige son Uche död - ihjälslagen för att han visat tecken på orogeni. Och den som dräpt pojken är Jija. Han har nu flytt tillsammans med deras dotter Nassun, som även hon ärvt förmågorna. Essun måste hitta sin dotter innan något ont händer henne. Men var ska hon söka?Den femte årstiden är den första delen i trilogin "Den söndrade jorden". Alla tre delarna har belönats med en Hugo Award för bästa roman."en djupt mänsklig berättelse om föräldraskap, vänskap och kärlek. Boken är mer än läsvärd och lär tilltala en väldigt bred läsarskara." BTJ
”Sukupolvensa ansiokkain scifi- ja fantasiakirjailija.” - New York Times”Teoksen maailman ja henkilökuvauksen syvyys saavat lukijan haukkomaan henkeään ja kokemaan, että nyt ollaan elämää suuremman kaunokirjallisuuden äärellä.” - TähtivaeltajaEräänä päivänä kotiin tullessaan Essun saa huomata, että hänen aviomiehensä on murhannut heidän poikansa ja siepannut heidän tyttärensä.

We Will Rise Again: Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest, Resistance, and Hope
N. K. Jemisin; Charlie Jane Anders
Simon Schuster Audio

cd
From genre luminaries, esteemed organizers, and exciting new voices in fiction, an anthology of stories, essays, and interviews that offer transformative visions of the future, fantastical alternate worlds, and inspiration for the social justice movements of tomorrow.In this collection, editors Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz, and Malka Older champion realistic, progressive social change using the speculative stories of writers across the world. Exploring topics ranging from disability justice and environmental activism to community care and collective worldbuilding, these imaginative pieces from writers such as NK Jemisin, Charlie Jane Anders, Alejandro Heredia, Sam J. Miller, Nisi Shawl, and Sabrina Vourvoulias center solidarity, empathy, hope, joy, and creativity. Each story is grounded within a broader sociopolitical framework using essays and interviews from movement leaders, including adrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha, charting the future history of protest, revolutions, and resistance with the same zeal for accuracy that speculative writers normally bring to science and technology. Using the vehicle of ambitious storytelling, We Will Rise Again offers effective tools for organizing, an unflinching interrogation of the status quo, and a blueprint for prefiguring a different world.

Fundamental to the study of any mathematical structure is an understanding of its symmetries. In the class of Banach spaces, this leads naturally to a study of isometries-the linear transformations that preserve distances. In his foundational treatise, Banach showed that every linear isometry on the space of continuous functions on a compact metric space must transform a continuous function x into a continuous function y satisfying y(t) = h(t)x(p(t)), where p is a homeomorphism and |h| is identically one. Isometries on Banach Spaces: Function Spaces is the first of two planned volumes that survey investigations of Banach-space isometries. This volume emphasizes the characterization of isometries and focuses on establishing the type of explicit, canonical form given above in a variety of settings. After an introductory discussion of isometries in general, four chapters are devoted to describing the isometries on classical function spaces. The final chapter explores isometries on Banach algebras. This treatment provides a clear account of historically important results, exposes the principal methods of attack, and includes some results that are more recent and some that are lesser known. Unique in its focus, this book will prove useful for experts as well as beginners in the field and for those who simply want to acquaint themselves with this area of Banach space theory.

This monograph provides a practical definition of terrorism risk, presents a method of estimating it, and demonstrates a framework for evaluating this method. Results support conclusions on how to improve risk-based resource allocation. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for protecting the United States from terrorism. It does so partly through the Urban Areas Security Initiative, though its distribution has been criticized for not reflecting risk. This monograph offers a practical definition of terrorism risk and a method for estimating it that addresses inherent uncertainties. It also demonstrates a framework for evaluating alternative risk estimates. Finally, it makes five recommendations for improving resource allocation.

A continuation of the authors’ previous book, Isometries on Banach Spaces: Vector-valued Function Spaces and Operator Spaces, Volume Two covers much of the work that has been done on characterizing isometries on various Banach spaces.Picking up where the first volume left off, the book begins with a chapter on the Banach–Stone property. The authors consider the case where the isometry is from C0(Q, X) to C0(K, Y) so that the property involves pairs (X, Y) of spaces. The next chapter examines spaces X for which the isometries on LP(µ, X) can be described as a generalization of the form given by Lamperti in the scalar case. The book then studies isometries on direct sums of Banach and Hilbert spaces, isometries on spaces of matrices with a variety of norms, and isometries on Schatten classes. It subsequently highlights spaces on which the group of isometries is maximal or minimal. The final chapter addresses more peripheral topics, such as adjoint abelian operators and spectral isometries. Essentially self-contained, this reference explores a fundamental aspect of Banach space theory. Suitable for both experts and newcomers to the field, it offers many references to provide solid coverage of the literature on isometries.

Naval Law is a comprehensive work focusing on military justice, military criminal and administrative law, international law, and the law of armed conflict in the naval service. Although attorneys and law students may find the text a helpful primer on these topics, the book is primarily intended for use by midshipmen, undergraduates and others interested in military law and the law of war. Actual courts-martial and other legal cases, treaties, statutes, instructions, regulations, and historical events are presented and discussed throughout the book. Throughout the text, issues designed to promote both understanding and critical analysis of the material presented are posed to the reader. The study questions at the end of each chapter are intended to focus attention on fundamental aspects of naval law and to challenge the reader’s understanding of these concepts.
