Mihin koulukiusaaminen voi pahimmillaan johtaa? Eletään 1970-lukua. Roihuvuoren koulu tekee syysretken, joka päättyy surullisemmin kuin kukaan olisi voinut odottaa. Yksi koulun oppilaista löytyy vedestä elottomana. Virallisesti kuolema nähdään onnettomuutena, mutta osa oppilaista tietää, millaiset tapahtumat tragedian taustalla todellisuudessa vaikuttavat... Koulun oppilaat Marko ja Säde kasvavat aikuisiksi, mutta molemmat kantavat sisällään salaisuutta. Koulukiusaaminen voi tappaa – he molemmat tietävät sen. Mutta kuka olikaan kiusaaja, kuka kiusattu? Ja miksi kukaan ei puuttunut tapahtumiin ajoissa? Valon pohja on koskettava romaani tärkeästä aiheesta: koulukiusaamisesta ja sen seurauksista. Kirjailija Sari Vuoristo (s. 1964) julkaisi esikoisteoksensa, novellikokoelman Irti, vuonna 1998. Vuoristo on opiskellut Helsingin yliopistossa teatteritiedettä ja uskontotiedettä.

Water in Social Imagination considers how human communities have known, imagined and shaped water – and how water has shaped both material culture and the imagination. Essays from diverse perspectives offer histories of water at different scales – from community water wells and sacred springs to Siberian rivers and the regulated space of the Baltic Sea. From early modernization through Soviet style technological optimism to contemporary environmentalism, water’s ideological uses are multiple. With sustained attention not just to state policy and the technologies of high modernity, but to creative resistance to utilitarian imaginations, these essays insist on fluidities of meaning, ambiguities that derive both from water’s physical mutability and from its dual nature as life necessity and agent of destruction.
Football is a game of numbers--fourth and inches, the three-man rush, a two point conversion, first down. Even with the obvious numbers in the statistics, rules and game situations, the players' uniform numbers themselves have become part of professional football and its lore. NFL players, like modern-day gladiators, are fitted head-to-toe in protective gear, obscuring even their faces from their most loyal fans. They have become largely identifiable through their uniform numbers. You cannot conjure up Larry Csonka without seeing the number 39 crashing through the line of scrimmage, or recall Lawrence Taylor without imagining the fear his 56 inspired in opposing quarterbacks. This comprehensive reference work lists all 32 current franchises of the NFL and includes brief team histories, statistics and interesting facts. Each chapter ends with an all-time numerical roster listing the numbers 1 through 99 (in some cases beginning with 00) and everyone, from Hall-of-Famer to replacement player, who has ever worn the corresponding number for that club. Four appendices are included.
