After the police broke into Martin Bryant's house, a journalist followed them, mentally recording the details she was going to present to the public. The house was neat & fairly normal, except for one room where some magazines were lying on a table, in between two empty chairs. For the past hours, the journalist's imagination had been building a picture of the madman, his childhood and possible motives.The entire media and police juggernaut that was gaining momentum was predicated on the assumption that he had acted alone. *** But if that was true, who had been sitting in the second empty chair? This explosive thriller takes a closer look at Australia's defining massacre, using witness statements and court documents to produce a coherent, plausible narrative that includes more facts than the prosecution case. Anyone familiar with ""Making A Murderer"" will be captivated and horrified by the details of this story, and how the popular media narrative has deviated from the facts.

General Problems

Political Economy

By: Oskar Lange

Political Economy, Volume I: General Problems provides a systematic treatise on political economy. This book discusses the state of economic science and the course of economic development in different parts of the world. Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the social or political economy as the study of social laws governing the production and distribution of the material means of satisfying human needs. This text then examines the basic regularity encountered by political economy in its analysis of the social laws governing human economic activity, which is formed by the dependence of production relations on social productive forces. Other chapters consider the objective character of economic laws. This book discusses as well the concern of economic history in the development of concrete economic progress. The final chapter deals with the differences of opinions and interpretations in the development of science. Economists will find this book useful.

Enjoying Machines

By: Barry Brown,Oskar Juhlin

An argument that pleasure is a fundamental part of why we use technology, and a framework for understanding the relationship between pleasure and technology. The dominant feature of modern technology is not how productive it makes us, or how it has revolutionized the workplace, but how enjoyable it is. We take pleasure in our devices, from smartphones to personal computers to televisions. Whole classes of leisure activities rely on technology. How has technology become such an integral part of enjoyment? In this book, Barry Brown and Oskar Juhlin examine the relationship between pleasure and technology, investigating what pleasure and leisure are, how they have come to depend on the many forms of technology, and how we might design technology to support enjoyment. They do this by studying the experience of enjoyment, documenting such activities as computer gameplay, deer hunting, tourism, and television watching. They describe technologies that support these activities, including prototype systems that they themselves developed. Brown and Juhlin argue that pleasure is fundamentally social in nature. We learn how to enjoy ourselves from others, mastering it as a set of skills. Drawing on their own ethnographic studies and on research from economics, psychology, and philosophy, Brown and Juhlin argue that enjoyment is a key concept in understanding the social world. They propose a framework for the study of enjoyment: the empirical program of enjoyment.

Rome and the Counter-Reformation in Scandinavia: Jesuit Educational Strategy, 1553-1622

By: Oskar Garstein

In this volume the author completes his study of the period of the Counter-Reformation between the years 1537- 1622. On the basis of the original documents he reveals the underground work of the agents of the Counter-Reformation in their attempt to entice eligible students from the far North to study at Jesuit colleges in Dorpat, Vilna, Braunsberg, Prague, Graz, and Rome at the expense of the Holy See with a view to infiltrating them into the body politic of the Scandinavian kingdoms at all levels of society, viz. church, school, state bureaucracy. In his analysis the author attempts to identify the students involved and trace their degree of success.
