Cyril Tourneur was a significant Jacobean poet and dramatist, yet until now there has been now full scale interpretation of his works. Critics have perhaps hesitated to undertake such a study because much of Tourneur's writing has been regarded as neurotic self-expression rather than art, and almost nothing is known of his life. In this penetrating study, however, Peter B. Murray analyzes the art and relates them to the artistic conventions and the thought of their day. Murray finds that Tourneur was not a neurotic but an objective, artistic craftsman. In both techniques and themes, Tourneur emerges as a defender of Elizabethan ideals-a follower of Spenser and Shakespeare and a supporter of the Anglican center against the extremes of Puritanism and atheism. In his study of The Revenger's Tragedy, commonly attributed to Tourneur, Murray turns up new and possibly conclusive linguistic evidence that the play was written by Thomas Middleton and has therefore discussed it apart from Tourneur's work. Murray's examination of The Revenger's Tragedy shows that its author, like Middleton, is a detached ironist and not despairing and obsessed with vice as he has often been supposed to be.
En närgången tecknad skildring av en våldsam fotbollssupporterPatrik Obilic är i 30-årsåldern och så kallad firmakille i AIK. Det är en ålder då man brukar välja bana och karriär i livet. Men Patrik är nöjd med sin tillvaro som kretsar kring, jobbet som servitör på en populär restaurang, fotbollsmatcher och om kvällarna gå ut på krogen och ragga brudar med polarna.”Vad som än står är” en närgången skildring av en våldsam fotbollssupporters liv, om fotbollsfirmor och supportergäng - en kultur som vi har svårt att förstå, men som finns mitt ibland oss. Det är en bok om manliga relationer, familjeliv, flickvänner och manligt våld. Inför manusarbetet intervjuade författaren och journalisten Cyril Hellman ett tjugotal supportrar, allt lyhört tolkat av serietecknaren Peter Bergting. Stig Larsson skriver i förordet:”De klipp som jag sett har gått rent till. När det hela är över hjälps motståndarna upp på benen. Man förhör sig om de vill ha revansch. För även om du har åkt i backen får du adrenalinskjutsen. Och du bär med dig känslan av att du har stått upp för dina kompisar. För ditt lag.”Inför manusarbetet med För evigt trogen har Cyril Hellman gjort djupintervjuer med ett trettiotal firmakillar från Stockholm och Göteborg. Allt lyhört tolkat av serietecknaren Peter Bergting, som också gjorde Gängkrig tillsammans med Jens Lapidus.

Bonusmaterial Det största derbyt: Mellan Stockholmslagens mest våldsamma supportar och ordningsmakten pågår ett komplicerat spel. Septemberderbyt 2018 mellan AIK och Hammarby är publikmässigt tidernas största derby och Cyril Hellman följde huliganer såväl som polisen inför det i en artikel som ursprungligen publicerades i Café Magasin november 2018. I denna omarbetade version intervjuar han också Djurgårdens och IFK Göteborgs firmakillar och ger oss en historik över svensk huliganism och supporterkultur. Reportaget har som ljudbok varit på topplistorna hos alla streamingtjänster.Då författaren som barn gick i skolan tillsammans med flera av firmornas grundare liksom polischefen som övervakar derbyt blir det ett personligt gonzoreportage om inte bara fotboll utan också klass, ursprung, gemenskap och kärlek till det egna laget.
HTML5 brings the biggest changes that HTML has seen in years. Web designers and developers now have a whole host of new techniques up their sleeves, from displaying video and audio natively in HTML, to creating realtime graphics directly on a web page without the need for a plugin. But all of these new technologies bring more tags to learn and more avenues for things to go wrong. HTML5 Solutions provides a collection of solutions to all of the most common HTML5 problems. Every solution contains sample code that is production-ready and can be applied to any project.

Dessutom en artikel om barns reaktioner på de nya svenska barnserierna samt en förhandstitt på serieromanen För evigt trogen av Cyril Hellman och Peter Bergting. I detta nummer fortsätter vi dessutom med vår nya Aktuellt-avdelning, där sex korrespondenter rapporterar om vad som händer i olika delar av världen. Numret innehåller traditionsenligt också ett stort antal recensioner, ett porträtt av redaktören och serieskaparen Johan Andreasson, med mera.
The solitaire game “The Tower of Hanoi" was invented in the 19th century by the French number theorist Édouard Lucas. The book presents its mathematical theory and offers a survey of the historical development from predecessors up to recent research. In addition to long-standing myths, it provides a detailed overview of the essential mathematical facts with complete proofs, and also includes unpublished material, e.g., on some captivating integer sequences. The main objects of research today are the so-called Hanoi graphs and the related Sierpinski graphs. Acknowledging the great popularity of the topic in computer science, algorithms, together with their correctness proofs, form an essential part of the book. In view of the most important practical applications, namely in physics, network theory and cognitive (neuro)psychology, the book also addresses other structures related to the Tower of Hanoi and its variants.The updated second edition includes, for the first time in English, the breakthrough reached with the solution of the “The Reve's Puzzle" in 2014. This is a special case of the famed Frame-Stewart conjecture which is still open after more than 75 years. Enriched with elaborate illustrations, connections to other puzzles and challenges for the reader in the form of (solved) exercises as well as problems for further exploration, this book is enjoyable reading for students, educators, game enthusiasts and researchers alike.Excerpts from reviews of the first edition: “The book is an unusual, but very welcome, form of mathematical writing: recreational mathematics taken seriously and serious mathematics treated historically. I don’t hesitate to recommend this book to students, professional research mathematicians, teachers, and to readers of popular mathematics who enjoy more technical expository detail.”Chris Sangwin, The Mathematical Intelligencer 37(4) (2015) 87f. “The book demonstrates that the Tower of Hanoi has a very rich mathematical structure, and as soon as we tweak the parameters we surprisingly quickly find ourselves in the realm of open problems.”László Kozma, ACM SIGACT News 45(3) (2014) 34ff. “Each time I open the book I discover a renewed interest in the Tower of Hanoi. I am sure that this will be the case for all readers.”Jean-Paul Allouche, Newsletter of the European Mathematical Society 93 (2014) 56.
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the mathematical theory of the solitaire game “The Tower of Hanoi” which was invented in the 19th century by the French number theorist Édouard Lucas. The book comprises a survey of the historical development from the game’s predecessors up to recent research in mathematics and applications in computer science and psychology. Apart from long-standing myths it contains a thorough, largely self-contained presentation of the essential mathematical facts with complete proofs, including also unpublished material. The main objects of research today are the so-called Hanoi graphs and the related Sierpinski graphs. Acknowledging the great popularity of the topic in computer science, algorithms and their correctness proofs form an essential part of the book. In view of the most important practical applications of the Tower of Hanoi and its variants, namely in physics, network theory, and cognitive (neuro)psychology, other related structures and puzzles like, e.g., the “Tower of London”, are addressed. Numerous captivating integer sequences arise along the way, but also many open questions impose themselves. Central among these is the famed Frame-Stewart conjecture. Despite many attempts to decide it and large-scale numerical experiments supporting its truth, it remains unsettled after more than 70 years and thus demonstrates the timeliness of the topic. Enriched with elaborate illustrations, connections to other puzzles and challenges for the reader in the form of (solved) exercises as well as problems for further exploration, this book is enjoyable reading for students, educators, game enthusiasts and researchers alike.
