WHEN YOU’RE A COP IN THE YEAR 2142, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO TRUST ANYONE . . . NOT YOUR PARTNER, NOT YOUR SPOUSE, NOT EVEN YOURSELF! From rising star Jordan Thomas (Mugshots) and powerhouse artist Daniel Gete (Biker Mice from Mars), the hyper-kinetic, near-future action epic Skin Police returns in a brand-new volume with a no-holds-barred turning point for a world where morally gray law enforcement, black market illegal cloning, and political strife are about to boil over in a hail of gunfire . . . Agents Eckis and Sheen swore an oath to protect the civilian population from the eminent danger of the rogue black market clones known as “Dupes” that can suddenly “pop” without any advance warning—which means any passerby on the street or subway could possibly become an unhinged spree killer on a moment’s notice. In return for their service, however, the public has dubbed Eckis, Sheen, and their fellow agents the “Skin Police”—an insult handed back by a populace unwilling to sacrifice their own civil rights for the agents’ unprecedented duties in light of the Dupe threat. But what if these illegally manufactured clone doppelgängers weren’t as deadly as initially believed? What if they could be saved? And, as the underground resistance movement supporting them grows, what if their leader proves to be someone uncomfortably familiar to the Skin Police? Collects Skin Police 2 #1–4.

Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), and Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), and realized into bloody reality by “all-slaughter” artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), Kano (Gotham Central), Klaus Janson (The Dark Knight Returns), Leomacs (Benjamin), Alison Sampson (Department of Truth), Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls), and many more.

From rising star Jordan Thomas (The Man from Maybe, Mugshots) and viscerally talented artist Daniel Gete (Über) comes a hyper-violent sci-fi/action spectacle that will force you to trust no one . . . not even yourself . . . In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as “Dupes.” Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they're the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they're the "Skin Police." The worst part of the job? It's always the one you least suspect . . . Collecting Skin Police #1–4.

"Exceptional. . . . When It All Burns is one of those books that immerses the reader in the nuances of a world most of us know only through the lens of tragedy and destruction. Thomas' visceral, crystalline prose only adds fuel to the fire." --Los Angeles Times A hotshot firefighter's gripping firsthand account of a record-setting fire season Eighteen of California's largest wildfires on record have burned in the past two decades. Scientists recently invented the term "megafire" to describe wildfires that behave in ways that would have been nearly impossible just a generation ago, burning through winter, exploding in the night, and devastating landscapes historically impervious to incendiary destruction. In When It All Burns, wildland firefighter and anthropologist Jordan Thomas recounts a single, brutal six-month fire season with the Los Padres Hotshots--the special forces of America's firefighters. Being a hotshot is among the most difficult jobs on earth. Thomas viscerally renders his crew's attempts to battle flames that are often too destructive to contain. He uncovers the hidden cultural history of megafires, revealing how humanity's symbiotic relationship with wildfire became a war--and what can be done to change it back. Thomas weaves ecology and the history of Indigenous peoples' oppression, federal forestry, and the growth of the fire industrial complex into a riveting narrative about a new phase in the climate crisis. It's an immersive story of community in the most perilous of circumstances, told with humor, humility, and affection.

Kränkningar kan uppstå i många situationer. Exempelvis att läraren kränker elever, att omsorgspersonal kränker vårdtagare eller att vi blir kränkta på olika sociala medier. I arbetslivet upplever många chefer och skyddsombud att det är svårt att dra gränsen mellan kränkning och arbetsledning. Vågar chefen agera som en tydlig arbetsgivare eller leder det till kränkande särbehandling? Hur ska skyddsombudet agera i dessa frågor? Kan en arbetstagare utsätta chefen för kränkande särbehandling? Vad finns det för skillnader och likheter mellan kränkande särbehandling utifrån arbetsmiljölagen och trakasserier utifrån diskrimineringslagen? Eller är det bara skitprat på jobbet? Detta är en enkel och konkret bok för chefer, skyddsombud och HR-funktioner. Den innehåller beskrivningar av olika dilemman och case, gällande lagstiftning och rättsfall. Boken innehåller också en del praktiska checklistor. Bokens främsta fokus är dels den rättsliga grunden och dels ett proaktivt förhållningssätt för att därigenom förebygga att kränkningar och trakasserier uppstår på jobbet. De senaste åren har mycket uppmärksamhet ägnats åt utredningar kring denna problematik. Förvisso ska utredningar i vissa avseende genomföras men baserat på den rättsliga grunden ska fokus primärt vara på det förebyggande arbetet. Detta är den andra reviderade upplagan med en del nya rättsfall samt förord av Thomas Jordan, docent och tidigare lektor i arbetsvetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet.
