En dag bestämmer sig Karl Fredrik för att försöka vilja sluta röka. Han inser att det kommer att bli svårt att helt ge upp lasten som ger honom livslust, men han ska åtminstone bli varse de negativa hälsoeffekterna. Det första som påverkas när man röker är ju flåset – därför utvecklar han metoden ”mikrojogging”. Han börjar springa regelbundet, men aldrig mer än 14 minuter. "Den joggande rökaren" är en samling reflektioner och anteckningar från olika joggingpass i alla typer av väder. Under löpturerna tänker Karl Fredrik på tillvaron, relationer, saker han kämpar med och det som ger honom aptit på livet. Boken är en en varmt mänsklig motvikt till hälso- och träningshetsen, men också en personlig hyllning till löpning som kostnadsfri och demokratisk aktivitet. Karl Fredrik Mattsson är copywriter, författare och joggande rökare. Han väckte stor uppmärksamhet med konstprojektet ”Kungaexperimentet”, där han förfalskade ett antal enkronor som hånade kungen.

Violent Extremism: A Nordic Outlook illuminates the global issue of violent extremism, with a particular focus on Sweden and the Nordic countries. This concise volume leverages empirical research to uncover the mechanisms and dynamics driving violent extremism, setting itself apart in a field often criticized for a lack of data-driven analysis. The contributors employ unique Nordic data to offer insights on violent extremism, examining its organization, the evolution of extremist groups, online presence, and societal impact. Aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities of violent extremism, the contributions draw on several social science perspectives to enhance prevention and intervention strategies. This approach not only enriches our grasp of extremist organizations and individual paths in to or out of extremism but informs effective counter measures. Essential reading for policymakers, researchers, and security professionals, this volume offers practical, empirical insights on tackling a pressing challenge in societies around the globe.
Until his early retirement at age 50, Hasse Ekman was one of the leading lights of Swedish cinema, an actor, writer, and director of prodigious talents. Yet today his work is virtually unknown outside of Sweden, eclipsed by the filmography of his occasional collaborator (and frequent rival) Ingmar Bergman. This comprehensive introduction—the first ever in English—follows Ekman’s career from his early days as a film journalist, through landmark films such as Girl with Hyacinths (1950), to his retirement amid exhaustion and disillusionment. Combining historical context with insightful analyses of Ekman’s styles and themes, this long overdue study considerably enriches our understanding of Swedish film history.
