Victim

By: Jørn Lier Horst,Thomas Enger

&‘ The new novel by the stellar Norwegian crime-writing duo Jorn Lier Horst and Thomas Enger ... tense, brutal and fast-moving' Sunday Times Book of the Month Two years ago, Alexander Blix was the lead investigator in a missing person' s case where a young mother, Elisabeth Eie, had been kidnapped. The case came to a standstill when Blix' s own daughter was killed and he was arrested for avenging her. Blix is a now free man again, but Elisabeth' s kidnapper has found him, leaving evidence of her murder in Blix' s mailbox. The police are unwilling to accept Blix' s help: Even if he was acquitted of his crime, his career in law enforcement is over. But Elisabeth' s murderer continues to pursue him, leading Blix to his new victims, while making it clear that he knows details from Blix' s private life that the former investigator has never shared with anyone... Meanwhile, Emma Ramm has been contacted by a teenage girl, Carmen, whose stepfather has been arrested on suspicion of killing a childhood friend. But there is no body. Nor are there any other suspects... Blix and Ramm can rely only on each other. And when Blix' s fingerprints are found on a child' s drawing at a crime scene, the present comes uncomfortably close to the past. A past where a victim has found their very own form of therapy. And it is clear that someone is watching... Shocking, relentless and unbearably tense, Victim marks the return of the international bestselling, blockbuster Blix & Ramm series from two of Norway' s finest crime writers.

Pygmalion’s Power

Pygmalion’s Power

Romanesque Sculpture, the Senses, and Religious Experience

By: Thomas E. A. Dale

Pushed to the height of its illusionistic powers during the first centuries of the Roman Empire, sculpture was largely abandoned with the ascendancy of Christianity, as the apparent animation of the material image and practices associated with sculpture were considered both superstitious and idolatrous. In Pygmalion’s Power, Thomas E. A. Dale argues that the reintroduction of architectural sculpture after a hiatus of some seven hundred years arose with the particular goal of engaging the senses in a Christian religious experience. Since the term “Romanesque” was coined in the nineteenth century, the reintroduction of stone sculpture around the mid-eleventh century has been explained as a revivalist phenomenon, one predicated on the desire to claim the authority of ancient Rome. In this study, Dale proposes an alternative theory. Covering a broad range of sculpture types—including autonomous cult statuary in wood and metal, funerary sculpture, architectural sculpture, and portraiture—Dale shows how the revitalized art form was part of a broader shift in emphasis toward spiritual embodiment and affective piety during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Adding fresh insight to scholarship on the Romanesque, Pygmalion’s Power borrows from trends in cultural anthropology to demonstrate the power and potential of these sculptures to produce emotional effects that made them an important sensory part of the religious culture of the era.

Vitreoretinal Surgery

By: Thomas H. Williamson

This is the third edition of a highly successful textbook that in many areas has become the preferred book of vitreoretinal surgery. It provides a complete guide to all common vitreoretinal surgical procedures and also covers diagnosis and other aspects of management.

Pierced

A Novel

By: Thomas Enger

If you find out who set me up, I'll tell you what happened the day your son died. That is the message crime reporter Henning Juul--back at work after being terribly burned and scarred for life in a fire that killed his son--receives from the incarcerated former extortionist Tore Pulli. He is convicted for a murder he claims he didn't commit, and he wants Henning to find the real killer. Truth has never meant more for Henning Juul. And when Pulli is found dead in his prison cell--an apparent suicide--Juul decides to dig deeper. He knows the murders Pulli was convicted of do not bear his signature. And Juul is convinced that Pulli would never take his own life. Juul strikes up a fragile partnership with Iver Gundersen, a journalist now living with Juul's ex-wife. They believe that Pulli's death is part of an internal power struggle in the gang world where the desire for serious money is destroying the traditional, honor-based hierarchy. And in order to find the truth he has to dive deep into an impenetrable world surrounded by a haze of myth. Uncovering more questions than answers, Henning soon realizes that he has to find not one but several killers...killers who have never been more dangerous than they are now. This is an sequel to the internationally acclaimed novel Burned: an epic crime drama and one step further towards solving the riddle of who killed Henning Juul's son"--

Objectivity Is Not Neutrality

Explanatory Schemes in History

By: Thomas L. Haskell

Haskell explores topics ranging from the productivity of slave labor to the cultural concomitants of capitalism, from John Stuart Mill's youthful "mental crisis" to the cognitive preconditions that set the stage for antislavery and other humanitarian reforms after 1750. He traces the surprisingly short history of the word responsibility, which turns out to be no older than the United States. And he asks whether the epistemological radicalism of recent years carries the power to justify human rights - rights of academic freedom, for example, or the right not to be tortured.

Physiological, Performance, Growth, Longevity and Ecological Ramifications

By: Thomas T. Samaras

Several books have been published on scaling in biology and its ramifications in the animal kingdom. However, none has specifically examined the multifaceted effects of how changes in human height create disproportionately larger changes in weight, surface area, strength and other physiological parameters. Yet, the impact of these non-linear effects on individual humans as well as our world's environment is enormous. Since increasing human body size has widespread ramifications, this book presents findings on the human species and its ecological niche. its community and how the species interacts with its environment. Thus, a few chapters provide an ecological overview of how increasing human body size relates to human evolution, fitness, health, survival and the environment. This book provides a unique purview of the laws of scaling on human performance, health, longevity and the environment. Numerous examples from various research disciplines are used to illustrate the impact of increasing body size on many aspects of human enterprises, including work output, athletics and intellectual performance.
