I Beowulfs spår
Sagan om Beowulf är ingen saga. Kvädet är en berättelse som handlar om personer som funnits i verkligheten på Gotland under 400- och 500-talet. Författarna Hans Wanneby och Rikard Evertsson pusslar ihop bitarna från kvädets gåtfulla innehåll och skapar en helhet som tidigare inte presenterats. Nu får draken och monstret sin förklaring och den fysiska miljön runt kungshallen på Stavgard levandegörs. Genom att vandra i Beowulfs spår, ger de platserna i kvädet nytt liv och sammanhang. Gotlands bildstenar får en ny innebörd vad gäller tolkningen av vår gemensamma historia. Hans Wanneby är historiker och guide på vikingagården Stavgard, Rikard Evertsson arbetar som lantmätare.
Jews and Samaritans
Winner of the R.B.Y. Scott Award from the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies Even in antiquity, writers were intrigued by the origins of the people called Samaritans, living in the region of ancient Samaria (near modern Nablus). The Samaritans practiced a religion almost identical to Judaism and shared a common set of scriptures. Yet the Samaritans and Jews had little to do with each other. In a famous New Testament passage about an encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman, the author writes, "Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans." The Samaritans claimed to be descendants of the northern tribes of Joseph. Classical Jewish writers said, however, that they were either of f...
The Call of Moses and the Exodus Story
Jaeyoung Jeon examines and assesses recently suggested models for the formation of the Pentateuch through a redactional-critical analysis of the Call of Moses (Exod. 3-4) and the Exodus story (Exod. 5-13). He observes that Exod. 3-4 was formed through a series of stages of Deuteronomistic composition and redaction, to which some post-Priestly additions were made. Comparative analysis suggests that the elements of Deuteronomistic formation precede P and that the direction of influence is from the non-P narrative (Exod. 3-4) to the P call narrative (Exod. 6). Jeon also shows that although some of the literary layers in Exod. 3-4 extend through the Exodus story (Exod. 5-13), the present form of the latter has been shaped by a post-Deuteronomistic but pre-Priestly composition based on an earlier proto-Exodus story. He therefore concludes that the Pentateuch or Hexateuch might be the product of a more complicated process of development than the current models describe.

Mosh Potatoes
Divided into “Opening Acts” (appetizers), “Headliners” (entrees), and “Encores” (desserts), Mosh Potatoes features 147 recipes that every rock ’n’ roll fan will want to devour—including some super-charged Spicy Turkey Vegetable Chipotle Chili from Ron Thal of Guns N’ Roses, Orange Tequila Shrimp from Joey Belladonna of Anthrax (complete with margarita instructions), Italian Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs from Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society (a homemade family dish), Krakatoa Surprise from Lemmy of Motörhead (those who don’t really like surprises may want to keep a fire extinguisher handy), and Star Cookies from Dave Ellefson of Megadeth. Mosh Potatoes comes with a monster serving of backstage stories and liner notes, making this ideal for young headbangers, those who still maintain a viselike grip on the first Black Sabbath album, and everyone who likes to eat.
ESP in European Higher Education
The Bologna Reform has been implemented in a large part of the European Union and it is time to take a short pause to reflect over some of the lessons learned up to now. The aim of this book is to share experiences and reflections on English for Specific Purposes pedagogy in Western European higher education. Taking as a starting point the development of the EU policies during the past couple of decades and their national implementations, the chapters in this book provide various perspectives, both theoretical and practical, on the ways in which the reform has been implemented and its effects on the teaching of ESP. Experiences of developing programmes and courses incorporating Content and Language Integrated Learning and Autonomous and Lifelong Learning are described, as well as Problem-Based Learning and Process-Genre Pedagogies. The book also includes chapters on the crucial, but often neglected issue of teacher support in meeting the challenges of teaching content through the medium of English.

Contributors employ both quantitative and qualitative analytical methods, and make use of state-of-the-art software for analyzing multimodal features of discourse. The chapters in the first part of the volume focus on the multimodal featur...
Döden är bara början
Amanda Serner gjuter svarta betongsuggor i en ateljé i Kreuzberg. Hennes morfar vadar genom taggtråd i helvetet. En gyllene skalbagge klättrar upp mot taket i Hauptbahnhof. Och någonstans i den stora staden öppnar sig ett torg mellan grustäckta ruinberg. Berlin sommaren 2017 är en stad där verkligheten börjar rämna.

Under villorna vid Wannsee skymtar ett svart citadell. Ett gammalt sjukhus byggt av änglar rymmer hemligheter från tiden när konstnärer arbetade för att riva murar och trotsa makten. Dit kommer en svensk skulptör för att söka ett nytt uttryck. Istället finner hon vägen ner i Inferno. Döden är bara början är en skräckroman om konst och fallande murar, baserad i världen från det klassiska rollspelet KULT och skriven av författarna till spelet.
