Using France as a case study, contributors from around the world explore the factors that create violent extremists, including criminogenic needs, violence-supportive cognition, religious beliefs, identity uncertainty or fusion, the quest for significance, and social and political influences. They present a multidisciplinary and evidenced-based analysis of how and why violent extremism has reappeared as a contemporary issue and provide theoretical and practical approaches to responding to and, when possible, intervening, using radicalization programs, deterrent and preventive legislations, prison segregation, and permanent monitoring.

If Cesare Borgia cared for any living thing we are unaware of it. That he had Caligulan incestuous relations with his sister is attested to by several sources. That he killed his own brother Juan was witnessed by a man present as Cesare had the lad's body thrown into the Tiber (''Giving the orders in Spanish, Sire, was a man on a white charger, dressed all in black, the horse's hooves and his spurs were of silver''). He spoke filthy barnyard vernacular Italian, but was nonetheless called charming by most who knew him. He raped anything that caught his eye, including the Countess Caterina Riario Sforza de' Medici (''At least she won't be lacking for sex, '' said a French captain as Cesare led her away). It was during an orgy that he murdered seventeen-year-old Astorre Manfredi, said to have been the most beautiful boy in Italy. He assassinated several of his sister Lucrezia's lovers and husbands, acts of violence that would relegate Clockwork Orange to the realm of a tale for infants.Never the fool, Cesare meticulously planned for the coming death of his father, Pope Alexander VI, by amassing wealth and arms. What led to his undoing made an ending not even a Hollywood production could have envisioned.Cicero stated that he could make no claim to originality, but that his life's purpose was to popularize the genius of others. This is exactly my aim in writing this fully-illustrated book, the discovery of Cesare and his times, through the exploration of the narrow window the past offers us

I Violen från Flen står den svenska bokhandelskulturen i centrum. Leif Olsson beskriver både de viktigaste händelserna bokhandelns historia från 1400-talet till nutid och ger detaljerad information om enskilda boklådor i Sverige från 1800-talet till idag. Varje län har sin egen krönika över bokhandelshistorian och boken innehåller även ett heltäckande register över samtliga läns bokhandel från 1800-talet till 2024. Johan Svedjedal skriver i sitt förord att ”precis som Selma Lagerlöf lät sin Nils Holgersson flyga över hela det svenska landet tar Leif Olsson i Violen från Flen med läsaren på en rundtur över en nation där villkoren för bokhandeln kunde se oerhört olika ut i glesbygd och lärdomsstäder, på öar och fastland, i de långa vintrarnas landskap och andra delar av landet”. Leif Olsson (f. 1934) har arbetat inom bokhandeln sedan början av 1970-talet. Han är regelbunden skribent i branschmedia och har deltagit som rådgivare i flera offentliga utredningar. Han har behandlat Stockholms bokhandelshistoria i Bokhandelns historia i Stockholm (2022). Violen från Flen är en fortsättning på denna undersökning. Tillsammans täcker de bägge böckerna bokhandelns historia i hela Sverige från 1800 till nutid.
What if there were video games that weren't about killing things? The world's biggest entertainment medium has come under decades of scrutiny because of its violent content. But here's a little known fact: from the very beginning, non-violent video games have done as much, if not more, to shape the industry than violent ones. The Best Non-Violent Video Games is the first ever guide to the full breath of interactive entertainment. Discover the true variety the medium has to offer and learn how developers constantly find new ways to engage people by challenging their minds, testing their reflexes, and even tugging at the heartstrings. Take a journey through more than three hundred video games, stretching back to the very dawn of the industry and extending right up to modern day indie hits. You'll learn more about the origins of some of gaming's biggest franchises, discover underrated gems from developers of all sizes, and perhaps even find some new favourites. Written by a journalist with over 15 years of industry experience and more than 30 years of gaming experience, this guide is for anyone seeking something truly different from the video games space without dealing with guns and gore, or those simply looking for a change of pace.
