The Sword of Justice
"When gangster lawyer Thomas Eriksson, renowned defender of the guilty, is found brutally murdered in his own home the police face a rare problem. Finding a suspect isn't difficult, but narrowing down the long list of people who wanted Eriksson dead might be... High on the list is the celebrated Detective Superintendent Evert Bockstr m, in charge of the investigation. Unfortunately for him a high profile case really gets in the way of his routine, namely avoiding the office, keeping work to a minimum and steering well clear of his inept colleagues u aside from the attractive ones, of course. Luckily, by virtue of his questionable contacts, Bockstr m has an unequalled skill for having the guilty handed to him on a plate. All he has to do is break every rule in the book u and receive a healthy wad of cash for his trouble. But this time he's in for a surprise because even Bockstr m couldn't have predicted where this trail would lead, or how far from comfortable he might be at its end."
Nature Doesn't Care
In Roland Persson's public commisions the vanity of existence has a somewhat longer lifespan, illusive though it may be. With his imagery, Persson makes full use of the rooms he is provided with and allows his own contributions to the environment to relate to the surroundings in manner that heightens both the sculpture as well as the context. The realistic method offers endless opportunities to gain access to and displace the context in question. The absurd traits seen in Persson's sculptures made for gallery exhibitions are further enhanced in the public works, where the contrast and counteraction constitute the point of attack in relation to the environment.

Decentralised Government in an Integrating World
The book offers a comprehensive empirical analysis of the determinants of changes in the distribution of expenditure and revenue-raising powers among fiscal tiers in OECD countries. Using a new indicator of fiscal decentralisation which accounts for subnational decision-making autonomy, common decentralisation trends are investigated. Then, empirical evidence from panel analyses is provided for the role of costs, preferences and institutions in explaining fiscal federal structures, and for the impact of economic and political integration on the degree of government decentralisation, particularly among EU countries. Finally, the historical experience of Germany is used to explore long-term developments in the public sector.

Ultrasound B-mode Imaging: Beamforming and Image Formation Techniques
Ultrasound medical imaging stands out among the other diagnostic imaging modalities for its patient-friendliness, high temporal resolution, low cost, and absence of ionizing radiation. On the other hand, it may still suffer from limited detail level, low signal-to-noise ratio, and narrow field-of-view. In the last decade, new beamforming and image reconstruction techniques have emerged which aim at improving resolution, contrast, and clutter suppression, especially in difficult-to-image patients. Nevertheless, achieving a higher image quality is of the utmost importance in diagnostic ultrasound medical imaging, and further developments are still indispensable. From this point of view, a cruc...
The Dying Detective
Retired Chief of the National Crime Police and Swedish Security Service Lars Martin Johansson has just suffered a stroke. He is paying the price for a life of excess - stress, good food and fine wine. With his dangerously high blood pressure, his heart could fail at the slightest excitement. In the hospital, a chance encounter with a neurologist provides an important piece of information about a 25-year-old murder investigation and alerts Lars Martin Johansson's irrepressible police instincts. The period for prosecution expired just weeks earlier and that isn't the only limitation. Lars Martin Johansson is determined to solve the atrocious crime - from his deathbed. The inimitable style, distinct voice and dark humour of Leif GW Persson, along with the fascinating exploration of a long-cold murder case, serves to make The Dying Detective a true masterpiece of the genre.
The Way of Florida
Relentless, urgent and above all musical, this expertly crafted debut novel recasts the tragic story of the failed Narváez expedition--a calamitous attempt to establish Spanish colonies along the Gulf Coast--in bracing, beautiful language. A timely narrative of botched colonialism, The Way of Florida radically reimagines the parameters and responsibilities of the historical novel. Of the 300 crew sent inland to explore, only four survived an eight-year ordeal. Their story comes down to us via La Relación, the official report published in 1542, as well as many other subsequent retellings. Persson's The Way of Florida is arguably the most linguistically rich, sinuous, and maybe even heroic.
The Plant Cytoskeleton
This detailed volume explores the development of technologies and protocols that are currently being used to understand the nature and activities of the plant cytoskeleton. A focus for many of the chapters is on sample preparation, as the quality of plant organ/tissue preparation, from single to multicellular samples, determines the quality of the data. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, The Plant Cytoskeleton: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers interested in or starting to be interested in plant cell and molecular biology research.
