Herakles
"Vad är en psykopat? Populärkulturen svämmar över av skildringar av psykopater - ändå är det som att det inte riktigt går in hos allmänheten vad de är för slags varelser. Polletten trillar liksom aldrig ner." Bakom varje legend och myt finns det alltid ett korn av sanning, men det är sällan verkligheten överträffar dikten. Här berättas den sanna historien om Alkides, sonen till en stor krigare som själv ansåg att hans öde var att bli extraordinär. Som barn var Alkides fascinerad av de historier som de resande skalderna förde med sig till den lilla staden där han växte upp. Mest av allt älskade han sägner om hjältar och monster, och hans högsta önskan var att sjä...
Ilion
Melas jumped down from the chariot and stabbed at the man's bleeding belly, so that the bowels became visible and the life breath left his body. He started pulling off the man's well-made armor in shiny leather, but a blow on his shield made him stop. Ialmenus's shadow fell over him. "Do you want revenge or is your mind rather filled with thoughts of booty?" Ialmenus hit his spear on Melas's shield again, and Melas stumbled over and fell on his knees beside the wounded man. He looked up at Ialmenus who was like a black shadow, with the copper-glowing sun in the back. "When Ilion has fallen, you can loot your enemies," said Ialmenus. "When you have killed the men who burned down the house of ...

The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales
Compelling evidence that the events of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey took place in the Baltic and not the Mediterranean • Reveals how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to ancient Greece • Identifies the true geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea and Calypso's Isle in the North Atlantic Ocean For years scholars have debated the incongruities in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, given that his descriptions are at odds with the geography of the areas he purportedly describes. Inspired by Plutarch's remark that Calypso's Isle was only five days sailing from Britain, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer's epic tales originated not in the Mediterranea...
Red Gas
This book applies a systems and risk perspective on international energy relations, author Per Högselius investigates how and why governments, businesses, engineers and other actors sought to promote – and oppose– the establishment of an extensive East-West natural gas regime that seemed to overthrow the fundamental logic of the Cold War.
Europe’s Infrastructure Transition
Europe's infrastructure both united and divided peoples and places via economic systems, crises, and wars. Some used transport, communication, and energy infrastructure to supply food, power, industrial products, credit, and unprecedented wealth; others mobilized infrastructure capacities for waging war on scales hitherto unknown. Europe's natural world was fundamentally transformed; its landscapes, waterscapes, and airscapes turned into infrastructure themselves. Europe's Infrastructure Transition reframes the conflicted story of modern European history by taking material networks as its point of departure. It traces the priorities set and the choices made in constructing transnational infrastructure connections - within and beyond the continent. Moreover, this study introduces an alternative set of historically-key individuals, organizations, and companies in the making of modern Europe and analyzes roads both taken and ignored.
Energy and Geopolitics
The idea that energy shapes and is shaped by geopolitics is firmly rooted in the popular imagination – and not without reason. Very few countries have the means to secure their energy needs through locally available supplies; instead, enduring dependencies upon other countries have developed. Given energy’s strategic significance, supply systems for fuels and electricity are now seamlessly interwoven with foreign policy and global politics. Energy and Geopolitics enables students to enhance their understanding and sharpen their analytical skills with respect to the complex relations between energy supply, energy markets and international politics. Per Högselius guides us through the com...

Salvation and Modernity
"Salvation and Modernity presents an interpretation of the phenomenon of intellectual Christians in contemporary Chinese society, with special focus paid to Liu Xiaofeng, by exploring the main issues of faith, salvation, and the quest for a modern China. Author Fredrik Fallman investigates similar developments in earlier centuries by linking past and present forms of cultural Christian phenomenon and the beliefs and ideas of Liu Xiaofeng and other scholars. Their focus on Christianity implies a criticism of traditional Chinese value systems, in particular Confucianism and Daoism. The introduction of Christian theology and values into Chinese academia is a way of creating greater understandin...
