Historien finder sted i de tre dage med mørke, som er beskrevet i bibelen, foruden andre religiøse tekster.Da Cody og Susan vågner op på motorvejsbroen, befinder de sig til deres store overraskelse i et absolut uigennemtrængeligt mørke på trods af, at det er morgen.

The Haukohl Family stands in the wake of a lasting tradition of European and American collecting practices for the benefit of future generations. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Luxembourg National Museum of Art, October 2018 to February 2019. For six generations the Haukohls have collected art, rare books, drawings, sculpture and textiles. It has been the fulfilling result of a Milwaukee-based American Midwestern family who has had equal determination and always with an eye towards acquiring fine art for the benefit of the future generations. This book presents masterworks of Italian painting and sculpture from the 16th through 18th centuries drawn from the largest private American collection of Florentine Baroque painting, featuring works by key artists such as Cesare Dandini, Jacopo da Empoli, and Francesco Furini.
The Chinese artist Deng Guo Yuan has spent his entire life dealing with the theme of the garden. He interprets this theme against the background of the knowledge of the Chinese tradition. In the Chinese philosophy of Daoism it is regarded as a 'way', 'method' or 'principle'. It is the highest reality and the highest mystery, the primordial unity, the cosmic law and the absolute. Text in English and German.
Gottfried Helnwein is known for his hyper-realistic images and his photo portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marilyn Manson and the band Rammstein. In his provocative images, he articulates themes of violence and abuse in ways that are as compelling as they are shocking. In particular, children, whose innocence, naivety and tenderness he brings into focus, are projection surfaces for him. From Wagner and Nietzsche, a stringent arc develops to Hitler’s propaganda machinery, the staged epic mass marches of the SS, and leads in Helnwein’s case not least to his great Carl Barks admiration, whereby he himself fits Mickey Mouse into the context of Nazi rule. This book is dedicated for the first time to this level of reflection in Helnwein’s work and first summarises those dark paintings in which the image is developed out of blackness and deep blue (as a romantic keynote) and leads over to the atrocities of the Nazi regime, in that in particular the experiments on imprisoned persons and those segregated into psychiatric wards underpin the racial ideology. Text in English and German.
Over the past six decades, Sean Scully has been connected with the most diverse geographical locations, be it his many years of living in London, New York, Barcelona, Mooseurach, Berlin or Aix-en-Provence. In addition, he is constantly inspired by international exhibition projects and trips – such as to Morocco, Mexico and the island of Eleuthera. His restless attitude and always being keen to remain on the move, has left deep traces in his artistic work. Géographies therefore, focuses on Scully’s life stages and travels, the places where he lives, works and which particularly inspire him through 35 paintings, as well as watercolours, pastels and drawings by the artist. Many of his abstract compositions reflect his perception of urban space, the dynamic rhythm of the big city or the liberating calm of nature. During the last nine years, Sean Scully has returned to figuration and formed a very personal credo that goes beyond the individual to something more universal. Text in English and German.
Konstnärsparet Unica och Hans hyr ett hus på den franska landsbygden, året är 1957. Tillsammans återskapar de ett av Hans mest iögonenfallande verk från tiden före kriget: En förvriden docka i mänsklig storlek. När Unica trär nålen och syr dockans kappa, dras trådarna genom tid och rum, till ett Berlin i ruiner, och möts i en berättelse om kärlek och ensamhet, om en kvinna som både vill förintas och bli till. Jag, Unica är en roman om den mytomspunna tyska författaren och tecknaren Unica Zürn (1916–1970) och om hennes partner, bildkonstnären Hans Bellmer (1902–1975). Kirstine Reffstrup är författare, född i Danmark 1979. Jag, Unica är hennes debut.
Nachdem am 1. Juli 1997 aus der britischen Kronkolonie Hongkong die Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong der Volksrepublik China wurde, stellte sich die Frage, welchen Einfluss dieser politische Wechsel auf die Rechtssicherheit Hongkongs, insbesondere das bislang angewandte englische Fallrecht nehmen wurde. Die Arbeit untersucht diese Problematik zum einen anhand rechtstheoretischer Doktrinen beziehungsweise so genannter weicher Faktoren wie Rechtssprache und Ausbildung, zum anderen in praktischer Hinsicht anhand des Hongkonger Vertragsrechts und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das Hongkonger Recht langfristig eine eigenstandige Entwicklung nehmen, also weder englisches Recht bleiben noch zum Recht der Volksrepublik China werden wird.
Although now poised for widespread popularity in China, abstract art still has a special status compared to figurative art. Its appeal in recent years has been increased by photographic artist Xiao Hui Wang and installation artist Wang Xiaosong, who seem "Western" in China and "Asian" to the West. Introspection analyses the latest works by these two renowned artists.
Illustrating the diversity of solutions case managers and program administrators have recently developed, Advanced Case Management provides an overview of many state-of-the-art issues. Innovations in outreach, planning, assessment, and service interventions are described, along with culturally sensitive and other alternative approaches to engaging individuals, family members and other natural supports. This skillfully written volume links practice to program description, and highlights new developments in staffing, training, system building, interprogram coordination, and resource control. Many examples are offered from work with youth, the elderly, and mental health populations, as well as other fields of service to demonstrate model approaches and case management's ability to evolve with the changing times. Students and professionals involved in the human services, clinical psychology, counseling/training/small groups, nursing, sociology, and drug and alcohol studies will find Advanced Case Management a useful and helpful guide. "A clear, well-organized, and comprehensive examination of emerging trends and new ideas regarding contemporary case management. Its well-documented chapters explore the multivaried dimensions of this reemerging arena of social work activity. I particularly valued its discussions of interagency linkages and quality assurance strategies and the focus on application of advanced case management principles to the field of aging. This book is a valuable contemporary addition to the practice literature in this area." --Esther G. Sales, University of Pittsburgh "This book represents a significant contribution to the field of case management and really does represent an advancement over more basic treatment of this vital area of human service practice. From my perspective the [book] achieves its objectives of moving beyond the fundamentals of case management to explore, examine, and analyze the themes and issues of case management as it continues to expand. It is certainly a book for the 'nineties.' "There are numerous strengths to this volume. The empirical quality of the volume offers the reader numerous references, examples, and guidelines taken from demonstration projects, model programs, and about implementing some of the key concepts. These key concepts follow from the state-of-the-art and the meta components move the volume beyond a discussion of fundamental practices which make up a lot of the content of more basic texts. "The authors use examples from several domains of case management practice cutting across target populations, service arenas, and age groups. This strikes me as increasing relevance of the text. It is useful as a core textbook in a case management course or as a supplemental text in the various core of advanced courses of different human service disciplines. The book has relevance to social work, nursing, rehabilitation, and medicine, and I will not be surprised to see it on the shelves of my university bookstore when it is adopted by these various disciplines as a text." --David P. Moxley, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan "Overall, I am extremely impressed by the book. It fills a crucial gap in the professional literature. I am not aware of any book like it and yet the need for such a book is abundantly clear. With deinstitutionalization moving into its final phases, case management as a practice modality is now viewed as one of the key interventions to enable severely mentally ill to adjust to living in the community and it is a type of practice that has a wide range of applicability to many client populations. This volume pulls together the state-of-the-art of case management in a clear, highly readable yet comprehensive manner. The tables and figures are excellent--I could imagine them as handouts for a training in case management--in fact the book itself could be used as a professional training manual as well as a supplement for professional practice courses." --Christina E. Newhill, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "Administrators and others experienced in case management could derive an excellent theoretical base for their practice from this book. It provides a wealth of practical ideas and information." --Sally L. Hein, Executive Director, Southern Human Resource Development Consortium for Mental Health "Various dimensions of case management are explored using numerous tables and figures, with detailed information, to enhance each chapter. New and innovative methods that are changing the traditional case management role are discussed. . . . This book is full of information that can help assess and enhance case management services. . . . The authors pull together a great deal of information very neatly. . . . The authors will also raise many questions that will challenge providers of case management services in the future. Raiff and shore offer solutions by raising issues, establishing trends, and anticipating innovative practices for future delivery of services. This is an excellent reference book with ample information for staff training, workshop presentations, and program planning. Those who manage and/or plan case management services would benefit the most from this book and the broad range of in-depth information and ideas if offers." --Peggy Brown, MS, LPC, NCGC Div. Dir., Elder Outreach Svcs., Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association, Journal of Case Mgmt. "This volume provides an excellent analysis of many aspects of practice that are relevant." --Journal of Interprofessional Care
