Building the Cycling City
The world is rediscovering the bicycle as a multi-pronged solution to acute, 21st-century problems, including affordability, obesity, congestion, climate change, inequity, and social isolation. The Netherlands has built an accessible cycling culture that cities around the world can learn from. Chris and Melissa Bruntlett share the incredible success of the Netherlands through engaging interviews with local experts and stories of their own delightful experiences riding in five Dutch cities. Building the Cycling City examines the triumphs and challenges of the Dutch while also presenting stories of North American cities already implementing lessons from across the Atlantic. Discover how Dutch cities inspired Atlanta to look at its transit-bike connection in a new way and showed Seattle how to teach its residents to realize the freedom of biking, along with other encouraging examples.
Aspects of Littorinid Biology
Members of the family Littorinidae are among the most widely studied gastropod molluscs and the more questions we answer about this group, the more questions are inevitably posed. Littorinid research spans diverse disciplines, from molecular biology, physiology, ecology, systematics and evolutionary biology to elegant anatomical studies. The papers n this volume reflect the current research being carried out on littorinids, and fall into three broad themes: systematics, ecology, and pollution studies. This book is primarily targeted at the research level, while providing useful information for advanced first-degree students conducting research projects.

Vietnam's Prodigal Heroes
Vietnam’s Prodigal Heroes examines the critical role of desertion in the international Vietnam War debate. Paul Benedikt Glatz traces American deserters’ odyssey of exile and activism in Europe, Japan, and North America to demonstrate how their speaking out and unprecedented levels of desertion in the US military changed the traditional image of the deserter.
Living Shores
Originally published in 1981, Living Shores was for many years the standard reference for marine science students but was also embraced by a popular market for its fascinating insights into marine and coastal habitats and the life they support. After a long absence, this classic has been revived and thoroughly reworked to incorporate the many dramatic changes that our oceans and coasts have undergone over the past few decades. This book is the fi rst of a two volume set, and examines the di_ erent marine ecosystems and how humankind interacts with them. It discusses the evolution of the sea and continents and looks at the ecology of coastal systems, including intertidal zones, beaches, dunes...
Boken om Beck och Sjöwall Wahlöö och tiden som for
Under åren 1965 till 1975 kom författarna Maj Sjöwall och Per Wahlöö ut med tio böcker om kriminalkommissarie Martin Beck. Sviten fick titeln Roman om ett brott och skulle bli banbrytande. Så här kunde deckare skrivas! Så här kunde Sverige skildras! Maj och Per var glödande kommunister, men också ett innerligt kärlekspar. Reportrar som träffade dem hade svårt att skriva artiklarna efteråt, för vem sa egentligen vad? De föll varandra i talet, alltid tillsammans, alltid sammanflätade. Så BOKEN OM BECK är en berättelse om litteraturhistoria, men också en kärlekshistoria. Roman om ett brott skapade det svenska deckarundret. Det är svårt att tänka sig en Wallander, en Salander eller en Van Veeteren utan Martin Beck. Utifrån en mängd intervjuer och hittills opublicerade brev och dagböcker tecknar Johan Erlandsson bilden av ett av svenskt 1900-tals mest betydande författarskap. JOHAN ERLANDSSON är författare och journalist. Han debuterade 2009 med en biografi över Allan Edwall. 2016 kom det historiska reportaget Desertörerna, om de amerikanska Vietnamdesertörerna. Till vardags är han reporter på tidningen Kommunalarbetaren.
