The realm of Northland, somewhere between the nine ancient worlds and still full of magic, is difficult to reach, but for those who really want to travel so far, there might be a way. After Ragnarok, there was the rebirth of the next world of Midgard/Earth. In a great slide, Storegga, a piece of the first world, Northland, slid into the space between the nine ancient worlds. Northland is a bridge to all nine worlds of Yggdrasil Circle, and the Northlanders, who possess many odd skills, magic, strange knowledge, and hidden talents, have casual contacts with the old world. The ancient law of Northland is its essence. There is also an old contract and oath of nonintervention in Midgard. Not keeping this oath might destroy all there is. However, sometimes it is difficult to keep it. The time changes, and the circle of the nine ancient worlds will exist only in the dreams and longings. Power and knowledge are always dangerous as the Mage of Storegga says when standing on the Storegga Cliff high above the vortex of Maelstrom and looking over the Grey Ocean of Northland. What you want to know now you might not want to know tomorrow.
Drawing on a wide variety of modern and classical sources and multiple disciplines, this book presents hypothesizes about the relationship between human language and thought to brain specialization. The authors focus on aphasia-language disorder resulting from local brain damage and show that the clinical aspect represents not only loss of function of the damaged area, but also results from the interaction between damaged and intact areas of the brain.
Why has there been uneven success in reducing air pollution even in the same locality over time? This book offers an innovative theorization of how local political incentives can affect bureaucratic regulation. Using empirical evidence, it examines and compares the control of different air pollutants in China-an autocracy-and, to a lesser extent, Mexico-a democracy. Making use of new data, approaches, and techniques across political science, environmental sciences, and engineering, Shen reveals that local leaders and politicians are incentivized to cater to the policy preferences of their superiors or constituents, respectively, giving rise to varying levels of regulatory stringency during the leaders' tenures. Shen demonstrates that when ambiguity dilutes regulatory effectiveness, having the right incentives and enhanced monitoring is insufficient for successful policy implementation. Vividly explaining key phenomena through anecdotes and personal interviews, this book identifies new causes of air pollution and proposes timely solutions. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
