Road to Kashgar: Notes from a walk through China
Lars Ellstrom

This is the story of a unique venture. Between March 2009 and November 2011 Swedish China veteran Lars Ellstr m walked from Beijing to Kashgar in Central Asia. He covered more than 5 000 kilometres through poor villages and newly built boomtowns. From the account of his trek we get to know the changing landscapes and listen to the people he met: farmers, shepherds, entrepreneurs, drivers, Christians, Muslims, school children, teachers and descendants of Genghis Khan. Thanks to his fluency in Chinese and deep knowledge of China's history and society, Ellstr m has been able to put these perspectives in wider and often provocative perspectives. He also presents the reader with fascinating examples of Swedish adventurers in China many years ago. They include the explorer Sven Hedin, the missionary and rancher Frans August Larson, who became a trusted go-between in negotiations between the Chinese and Mongol heads of state, earning him the title of 'Duke of Mongolia', and Lovisa Engvall, a missionary, who learned the Uighur language and lived in Xinjiang for most of her grown-up life. The image of China that Ellstr m presents in this book contrasts with so much of today's superficial reportage. China is not just a country in the process of stupendous economic development but also a land of cultural and political expansion. Historical monuments are reconstructed, not merely to promote tourism but also to implant a partisan interpretation of the past. Ethnic massacres are officially referred to as pacification. Even names of places are changed. All the while, however, discontent is brewing under the surface. The miracle of economic growth is also a country of ever-widening social, geographical and ethnic chasms.
Despite the overuse of the word in movies, political speeches, and news reports, “evil” is generally seen as either flagrant rhetoric or else an outdated concept: a medieval holdover with no bearing on our complex everyday reality. In A Philosophy of Evil, however, acclaimed philosopher Lars Svendsen argues that evil remains a concrete moral problem: that we’re all its victims, and all guilty of committing evil acts.”It’s normal to be evil,” he writes—the problem is, we’ve lost the vocabulary to talk about it.Taking up this problem—how do we speak about evil?—A Philosophy of Evil treats evil as an ordinary aspect of contemporary life, with implications that are moral, practical, and above all, political. Because, as Svendsen says, “Evil should neither be justified nor explained away—evil must be fought.”
Lars Horn's Voice of the Fish, the latest Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize winner, is an interwoven essay collection that explores the trans experience through themes of water, fish, and mythology, set against the backdrop of travels in Russia and a debilitating back injury that left Horn temporarily unable to speak. In Horn's adept hands, the collection takes shape as a unified book: short vignettes about fish, reliquaries, and antiquities serve as interludes between longer essays, knitting together a sinuous, wave-like form that flows across the book. Horn swims through a range of subjects, roving across marine history, theology, questions of the body and gender, sexuality, transmasculinity, and illness. From Horn's upbringing with a mother who used them as a model in photos and art installations--memorably in a photography session in an ice bath with dead squid--to Horn's travels before they were out as trans, these essays are linked by a desire to interrogate liminal physicalities. Horn reexamines the oft-presumed uniformity of bodily experience, breaking down the implied singularity of "the body" as cultural and scientific object. The essays instead privilege ways of seeing and being that resist binaries, ways that falter, fracture, mutate. A sui generis work of nonfiction, Voice of the Fish blends the aquatic, mystical, and physical to reach a place beyond them all.
What is human freedom, and what are its main threats today? These questions and more are discussed in Lars Svendsen's comprehensive investigation of the nature of freedom in contemporary society. Our behaviours, thoughts and actions are governed by a variety of restrictions, deadlines and burdens. Taking a broad approach across metaphysics, politics and ethics, A Philosophy of Freedom questions how we can successfully create meaningful lives for ourselves and others when we are estranged in this way from the very concept of what it means to be free. By tackling such issues as the nature of free agency and the possibility of freedom in a universe governed by natural laws, Svendsen concludes that the real definition of personal freedom is first and foremost the liberty to devote yourself to what truly matters to you. Drawing on the fascinating debates surrounding the possibility of freedom and its limits within society, A Philosophy of Freedom provides an engaging overview of modern philosophical thought on the topic; an accessible and insightful study for academics and general readers alike.
The Wisdom of a Broken Heart contains the essence of the secret teachings taught by Yeshua (Jesus) the Nazarene and Mariam (Mary) Magdalene 2,000 years ago. Over the years, the teachings have been revealed in fragments and scattered glimpses; this book now creates a synthesis of the beautiful wisdom of the complete human being. This beautifully designed hardback gift book with profound content draws on Lars Muhl’s many years of spiritual studies and experiences. In a time when we as humans are being challenged in many ways, Lars stresses that it is through the pain suffered by so many of us, and by understanding its deeper meaning, that we are given a unique opportunity for breakthrough at the spiritual plane. Arranged in an accessible verse form, topics range from the profound energetic exchange that occurs between two lovers (with visualizations to meet Yeshua if you identify as a woman or Mariam if you identify as a man), to using mantras, song and dance in order to reach divine awareness, to numerology and other symbolism. Ultimately, this is a complete guide to living the Law of Light for the benefit of yourself and the wider world. As Lars says: "We are all potential healers, and if there is anything the world needs right now, it is exactly healers."
In this practical guide to attaining your true Divine Identity, Denmark’s leading spiritual teacher Lars Muhl reveals exactly how to connect with your magnificent inner power and attain your highest possible potential. Muhl invites us to join him on a journey to the Qumran Caves in the Judean desert to discover The Book of Asaph. The journey and the sacred text itself offer a breath-taking metaphor for the process of spiritual Enlightenment. Lars Muhl considers The Light Within a Human Heart his most profound and powerful work. It is for all who wish to embrace their endless magic and enter Heaven on earth, remaining beautifully Present despite the inevitable difficulties of life. When we move, breathe and live in our Inner Light, we have returned home.
In the beginning of the winter thaw, Lars Lennart Westin has learned that he will not live through the spring. Told through the journals of this schoolteacher turned apiarist, The Death of a Beekeeper is his gentle, courageous, and sometimes comic meditation on living with pain. Westin has refused to surrender the time left to him to the impersonality of a hospital, preferring to take his fate upon himself, to continue his solitary, reflective life in the Swedish countryside. While he watches his inner landscape reforming, the relentlessly intimate burning in his gut provides a point of psychological detachment. 'We begin again,' he insists, 'we never give up.'

Lars Bockius untersucht in diesem Buch die Frage, wieso mehr als die Hälfte aller M&A-Transaktionen scheitern und welche Rolle dabei kontrollierbare Aspekte beziehungsweise sogenannte weiche Faktoren wie beispielsweise Kultur, Kommunikation, Kompetenzen und Mitarbeiter spielen. Mithilfe eines systematischen Reviews akademischer Arbeiten wird das Zusammenwirken von weichen Faktoren untersucht und die jeweilige Relevanz in den unterschiedlichen Phasen des M&A-Prozesses anhand von zwei aktuellen Fallstudien identifiziert. Dieses Buch dient als Handlungsempfehlung für die deutsche Unternehmenspraxis und als Anregung für weitere Forschungsarbeiten in diesem Themenfeld.

Portfolio Optimization in a Downside Risk Framework

LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
2011

Risk is an essential factor to consider when investing in the capital markets. The question of how one should define and manage risk is one that has gained a lot of attention and remains a popular topic in both the academic and professional world. With substantial evidence that returns are asymmetric and that investors do not exhibit quadratic utility, downside risk has been gaining increasing attention, and numerous magnitudes that capture downside risk are now well known and widely used. The present study considers six different downside risk measures and tests their relationship with the cross-section of returns as well as their performance in portfolio optimization compared to variance. Results from previous studies in this field are quite disparate and the question remains whether downside risk measures lead to more efficient allocations than variance.
