'Even the biographical individual is a social category', wrote Adorno. ‘It can only be defined in a living context together with others.’ In this major new biography, Stefan Müller-Doohm turns this maxim back on Adorno himself and provides a rich and comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. This authoritative biography ranges across the whole of Adorno's life and career, from his childhood and student years to his years in emigration in the United States and his return to postwar Germany. At the same time, Muller-Doohm examines the full range of Adorno's writings on philosophy, sociology, literary theory, music theory and cu...

I Splitter dras Mikaela Sköld in i ytterligare en dramatisk utredning. En kort dit efter massmorden i Solberga (Ingen ska skonas) har polisen avkrypterat en app som kriminella använder för att kommunicera. I det omfattande materialet gör Stefan Jelinek, Mikaelas vän och kollega, en oväntad upptäckt. I chattarna framträder vad som ser ut att vara planeringen av ett terrordåd där man ska slå till mot hjärtat av Mediasverige. Jelinek misstänker att målet är Nyhetsbyrån och att ett av kodnamnen i chattarna är en anställd. Han övertalar Mikaela att delta i en operation där hon låtsas säga upp sig från polisen för att återvända som journalist. Under täckmantel måste hon ta reda på identiteten på den medhjälpare terroristerna har på insidan. Mikaela tvingas därmed spela dubbelspel, inte bara mot Kim, Mikaelas före detta sambo, utan också mot sin dotter Vanja. Splitter är en gastkramande, explosiv thriller om en sanning under attack. Men också om att våga se sanningen i vitögat.

For Bendelow, a key aspect of this paradigm shift is the development of more sophisticated concepts of stress, which address the intertwining of emotion and embodiment, and emphasise social and material factors alongside biopsychological co...
