    "The practice of neurocritical care is sobering in one way and exhilarating in another. Perhaps the best demonstration of what we do,can do or should do to tip the scale is already in the Emergency Department, because acute neurologic disease typically is there seen first. There are numerous acute neurologic problems seen every day and so for emergency physicians the recognition of a serious neurologic disease must be an essential part of their expertise. Be that as it may, neurologists (and neurointensivists) are consulted freely because there is a sense that acute neurologic disease will worsen (and sometimes very quickly). In some patients the presenting emergency is already critical and unquestionably life-threatening. Acute neurologic conditions can appear anywhere in the hospital, but this chapter introduces the emergency department (ED), with all its complexities, as seen from a neurologist's perspective."

    Robert Kane is one of the most prominent contributors to debates on free will over the last 50 years. Here he discusses the evolution of his views since his 1996 volume The Significance of Free Will, and provides responses to some of the latest critical literature on them. He explains significant changes to his views on free will and related notions of moral responsibility, agency, and other related topics. He connects his ideas on free will to ethical thought, and to key ideas in the philosophy of religion. The volume is accessible to those not already familiar with the free will literature, while also developing novel and complex ideas on difficult subjects.

    264,95 kr.

    In Wars of Ambition, Afshon Ostovar explores America's decline and Iran's rise in the Middle East since 9/11 and through 2023. It examines America's involvement in the region, Iran's counter to it, and how their clash for a new regional order became entwined in a broader, more complex struggle involving multiple regional and foreign powers. In telling that story, Ostovar shows how the battle for the Middle East reflects the politics and dividing lines of an emergent multipolar world.

    In The Grammar of Status Competition, Paul David Beaumont tackles the question of what status is and how to measure it in the field of international relations. Given states, statesmen, and citizens care about and pursue status despite its difficulty to assess, Beaumont argues that we can study international status hierarchies via states and citizens themselves who also grapple with this same status ambiguity. Advancing a new theoretical framework for investigating how theories of international status (TIS) inform policy making, this book will be useful to IR scholars and students looking to make sense of how states construct and compete in hierarchies of their own making.

    In The Political Economy of Climate Finance Effectiveness in Developing Countries, Mark Purdon contributes to broader debates on the international climate cooperation by evaluating how three different climate finance instruments have been undertaken in three countries--Tanzania, Uganda, and Moldova--and evaluates their effectiveness in actually reducing emissions. He shows that the effectiveness of climate finance tools depends on the interaction between a nation's development policy paradigms and its interests in other sectors of their economies. Purdon's findings further inform the design of international and transnational efforts to engage developing countries on climate change mitigation by emphasizing the importance of domestic politics and the state.

    Reading Miscellany in the Roman Empire interprets Aulus Gellius' second-century text, the Noctes Atticae, as a fundamentally literary collection that offers a profound meditation on the experience of reading and literary culture at the height of the Roman Empire. Incorporating textual analysis alongside narratology-informed approaches, Scott J. DiGiulio investigates the strategies used by Gellius to innovate within the Latin literary tradition and provides a framework for interpreting this text's perceived disorder on its own terms.

    This book offers the first detailed reception history of adaptations of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations from 1800-2020. By focusing on ways the piece has been arranged, transcribed, and reworked, or quoted in in film, dance, literature, visual art, and digital media, it reveals changing views about the role of the composer and score that have impacted recent performance practices and notions of the work concept. Beyond this, it features the work of composers, many from underrepresented backgrounds, who have recently deconstructed Bach by reimagining the subjects, compositional procedures, and forms, using contemporary compositional approaches.
