Troll: A Love Story
After a night of drinking and romantic failure, young photographer Angel returns home to find a group of teenagers taunting a wounded troll. Moved by its helplessness, he takes the furry little beast into his home, blissfully unaware he has just welcomed chaos into his life.With its eyes full of nocturnal wildfire and powerful aphrodisiac scent, the troll soon casts its odd spell on Angel, who finds himself crossing boundaries he never imagined he would. Intoxicatingly imaginative and strange, Troll: A Love Story is an unforgettable story of the dark, hairy underbelly of human desire.

Kant: Lectures and Drafts on Political Philosophy
This book is the first translation into English of the Reflections which Kant wrote whilst formulating his ideas in political philosophy: the preparatory drafts for Theory and Practice, Toward Perpetual Peace, the Doctrine of Right, and Conflict of the Faculties; and the only surviving student transcription of his course on Natural Right. Through these texts one can trace the development of his political thought, from his first exposure to Rousseau in the mid 1760s through to his last musings in the late 1790s after his final system of Right was published. The material covers such topics as the central role of freedom, the social contract, the nature of sovereignty, the means for achieving international peace, property rights in relation to the very possibility of human agency, the general prohibition of rebellion, and Kant's philosophical defense of the French Revolution.
Queer Attachments
Why is shame so central to our identity and to our culture? What is its role in stigmatizing subcultures such as the Irish, the queer or the underclass? Can shame be understood as a productive force? In this lucid and passionately argued book, Sally R. Munt explores the vicissitudes of shame across a range of texts, cultural milieux, historical locations and geographical spaces – from eighteenth-century Irish politics to Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, from contemporary US academia to the aesthetics of Tracey Emin. She finds that the dynamics of shame are consistent across cultures and historical periods, and that patterns of shame are disturbingly long-lived. But she also reveals shame as an affective emotion, engendering attachments between bodies and between subjects – queer attachments. Above all, she celebrates the extraordinary human ability to turn shame into joy: the party after the fall. Queer Attachments is an interdisciplinary synthesis of cultural politics, emotions theory and narrative that challenges us to think about the queerly creative proclivities of shame.

All My Sons
On a visit to South Africa, Christer Kihlman meets Juan, a young male prostitute, in Buenos Aires. The relationship that develops between them changes his life utterly. This remarkable autobiographical novel is "their" book, the story of the strange and unusually powerful bond that develops between a middle-class, middle-aged Finnish family man and a man of the streets. The subject of enormous controversy on its original publication in Scandinavia, this is a book of ruthless honest and real anguish.
Emergent Quantum Mechanics
Emergent quantum mechanics explores the possibility of an ontology for quantum mechanics. The resurgence of interest in "deeper-level" theories for quantum phenomena challenges the standard, textbook interpretation. The book presents expert views that critically evaluate the significance—for 21st century physics—of ontological quantum mechanics, an approach that David Bohm helped pioneer. The possibility of a deterministic quantum theory was first introduced with the original de Broglie-Bohm theory, which has also been developed as Bohmian mechanics. The wide range of perspectives that were contributed to this book on the occasion of David Bohm’s centennial celebration provide ample ev...
