Er du bange for mørke
Over hele verden sker der mystiske dødsulykker. I Berlin forsvinder en kvinde på åben gade. I Paris hopper en mand ud fra Eiffeltårnet. I Denver forulykker et lille fly i bjergene, og på Manhattan skyller et lig i land. Tilsyneladende hændelige uheld uden nogen forbindelse, men politiet opdager snart, at alle fire ofre var ansat hos Kingsley International Group (KIG) – verdens største tænketank. Kelly Harris og Diane Stevens – enker efter to af ofrene – mødes i New York, hvor KIG’s direktør, Tanner Kingsley, har bedt om at træffe dem. Han forsikrer dem om, at han vil gøre alt, hvad han kan for at opklare deres mænds mystiske død og beskytte dem. Men måske er det allere...

National Performances
In this book, Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas explores how Puerto Ricans in Chicago construct and perform nationalism. Contrary to characterizations of nationalism as a primarily unifying force, Ramos-Zayas finds that it actually provides the vocabulary to highlight distinctions along class, gender, racial, and generational lines among Puerto Ricans, as well as between Puerto Ricans and other Latino, black, and white populations. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Ramos-Zayas shows how the performance of Puerto Rican nationalism in Chicago serves as a critique of social inequality, colonialism, and imperialism, allowing barrio residents and others to challenge the notion that upward social mobility is equally available to all Americans—or all Puerto Ricans. Paradoxically, however, these activists' efforts also promote upward social mobility, overturning previous notions that resentment and marginalization are the main results of nationalist strategies. Ramos-Zayas's groundbreaking work allows her here to offer one of the most original and complex analyses of contemporary nationalism and Latino identity in the United States.
POLAR NIGHT Marine Ecology
Until recently, the prevailing view of marine life at high latitudes has been that organisms enter a general resting state during the dark Polar Night and that the system only awakens with the return of the sun. Recent research, however, with coordinated, multidisciplinary field campaigns based on the high Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard, have provided a radical new perspective. Instead of a system in dormancy, a new perspective of a system in full operation and with high levels of activity across all major phyla is emerging. Examples of such activities and processes include: Active marine organisms at sea surface, water column and the sea-floor. At surface we find active foraging in seabirds...
