Hvor er de henne?
Denne bog handler i virkeligheden ikke om liv i rummet – eller mere nøjagtigt om liv i vores galakse, Mælkevejen. Den handler om, hvad nogle mennesker troede en gang, hvad nogle mennesker tror eller forestiller sig og endelig om, hvordan videnskabsfolk opstiller betingelser for liv på andre planeter. Langt det meste videnskab bygger på noget, videnskabsfolk før dem har fundet ud af; derfor kan der være en ide i at se, hvordan videnskabsfolk i fortiden og enkelte svindlere i dag har opfattet livet på fremmede planeter. Videnskabsfolk har således skudt den ide, at Jorden har haft besøg fra Venus, ned – alene fordi Venus er alt for varm og ugæstmild. Bogen indeholder stof, som nog...
EN sejlbåd for vindstille
J. P. Jacobsen er en af Danmarks væsentligste forfattere. Han var berømt i sin samtid, oversatte Darwins hovedværker til dansk, og romanerne Marie Grubbe og Niels Lyhne var de mest omtalte udgivelser, da de udkom, ligesom novellen "Mogens" – i hvert tilfælde i bakspejlet – betegnede et skel i litteraturhistorien. Efter sin død blev han en regulær litterær verdensstjerne og var bl.a. Rilkes absolutte yndlingsdigter: «Lev for en tid i disse bøger, lær af dem, hvad der synes Dem værd at lære, men frem for alt, elsk dem».
William H. Johnson
This book brings the story of African American artist William H. Johnson (1901-1970) to light. Born in South Carolina, Johnson moved to New York as a teenager to live with his uncle, working as a hotel porter, cook, and stevedore -- and earning admission to the School of the National Academy of Design, where he won almost every student prize available. A trip to Europe became permanent residence after he married Danish textile artist Holcha Krake. He enjoyed wide success until World War II forced the couple to move to New York. After his wife's death Johnson's physical and mental health collapsed and after 1947 he never painted again. Steve Turner traces the fate of Johnson's huge body of work, indifferently managed for him by court-appointed guardians and the Harmon Foundation.

Om Respect
On Respect is a defense for the right to show resentment, indignation and anger. Lars-Henrik Schmidt criticizes the established 'equality' way of thinking which maintains that everyone has equally much to offer. According to Lars-Henrik Schmidt, respect does not make sense if one is not allowed to show disrespect. By introducing the concept of 'deference', Lars-Henrik Schmidt shows how, fundamentally, respect is not about acknowledging the other, but about respecting the difference to the other. This means, for example, that one must do away with the notion that the various partners in the educational relationship are equals. Respectable respect means that teachers can show disrespect towards students who do not respect the learning environment the teacher is promoting. Like Lars-Henrik Schmidt's other writings, On respect is a social-analytical diagnosis of contemporary society. Among the themes covered are: the rise in decaying values; the lack of standpoints; the joyless society - and a suggestion as to ??how to make respect respectable.
