For Mick Kennedy, den højrøstede kriminalinspektør fra TILBAGE TIL FAITHFUL PLACE, handler alt om kontrol. Han følger reglerne, og han følger dem slavisk. Det er derfor, han er drabsafdelingens absolut bedste detektiv, og det er derfor, han får tildelt årets mest opsigtsvækkende sag.Ved Broken Harbour i en af de halvfærdige og halvt forladte boligkomplekser i ’luksusklassen’, der er dynget ud over Irland, finder man ligene af Patrick Spain og hans to små børn. Konen, Jenny, er røget på intensivafdelingen. I starten er Mick Kennedy og hans ’rookie’ ikke i tvivl om, at det bliver en nem sag. Men alt for mange småting er ikke til at forklare: de mange babyalarmer, hvis kameraer peger mod smadrede huller i væggene. Filerne, der er slettet fra Spains computer. Historien, Jenny fortalte sin søster, om en gådefuld indbrudstyv, der snød sig forbi husets nye tyverialarm. Og Broken Harbour får også minderne frem hos Mike. Da sagen kommer på alle landets avisforsider ryger hans søster Dina, af sporet igen, og hun vækker noget til live, somMike var overbevist om, han havde fuldstændig under kontrol: hvad der skete med deres egen familie en sommer, de holdte ferie på Broken Harbour. GENSYN MED BROKEN HARBOUR, Tana French’ fjerde krimi om Dublins drabsafdeling, er en atmosfærefyldt og intens spændingsroman, fyldt med velturnerede replikker, overbevisende psykologiske portrætter og en stærk og 'råt for usødet'-skildring af det moderneIrland. "One of the most talented crime writers alive,"skrev Washington Post, da New YorkTimes bestselleren GENSYN MEDBROKENHARBOUR udkom i USA.
Lisbeth Bonde har gennem de sidste 5 år interviewet flere af Danmarks kendte kunstnere. En nysgerrighed efter at føle kunstnerne på tænderne, at se ind i deres atelierer har været en af drivkræfterne bag interviewene. Kunstnerne i denne bog har alle været en slags pionerer. De har rejst og set, de har været i dialog med verden omkring dem. Hensigten med bogen har været at skærpe den historiske hukommelse i en tid, hvor kunsten konstant skifter ham, og tidshorisonten ofte er begrænset til dagen og ugen. Bogen kan fungere som appetitvækker for den nysgerrige læser, der via litteraturhenvisninger kan læse videre om kunstnerne, ligesom den kan give udstillingsgæsten baggrundsviden inden mødet med kunsten.
Overmod og afmagt er beretningen om, hvordan selvsikre embedsmænd og famlende politikere kastede en af landets største og mest komplekse forvaltninger ud i en uheldssvanger forvandling. Den 1. november 2005 blev en skæbnesvanger dag. Den dag gik en gammel embedsmandsdrøm i opfyldelse, da det statslige enhedsskattevæsen og SKAT blev skabt, og Skatteministeriet overtog ansvaret for at inddrive alle offentlige fordringer. Løfterne var store, og forventningerne optimistiske. Danmark ville i løbet af få år få et digitaliseret og højeffektivt skattevæsen, der klarede opgaverne med en brøkdel af de hidtidige omkostninger. Ti år senere så det anderledes ud. Den statslige inddrivelse blev sat i stå, og det elektroniske fælles inddrivelsessystem (EFI) skrottet. Tilliden til SKATs ejendomsvurderinger var væk, og SKAT stod til at blive opløst. Indimellem var gået en periode, hvor Skatteministeriet havde kæmpet med at få virkeligheden til at rette sig ind efter de store planer, og hvor konsulenter leverede dyrekøbte, men letfærdige råd, som ikke holdt. Den ene møgsag efter den anden efterlod indtrykket af en forvaltning i forfald. Overmod og afmagt afdækker den uheldige cocktail af embedsmænds overmod og politikernes afmagt, der førte til SKATs storhed og fald og bogen afsluttes med en række anbefalinger til den nødvendige genopretning.
Et fuldtonet portræt af den mest visionære, dristige og kontroversielle strateg i dansk dagspresse gennem de sidste 40 år. Jørgen Ejbøl.Et humoristisk, generøst og loyalt menneske, som også rummer uhørt brutale sider. En historie om krig og kærlighed i mediebranchen.
Julius Bomholt, socialdemokratisk politiker og forfatter, var en af det 20. århundredes helt store politiske skikkelser. Han var i årtier den drivende kraft i formuleringen af sit partis kulturpolitik og blev i 1961 Danmarks første kulturminister. Det er dog mere mennesket end den politiske udvikling, der er i centrum for Jørn Henrik Petersens fortælling om Bomholt. Han voksede op i et arbejderhjem i Silkeborg og blev teolog. Vi følger ham fra højskoletiden over årene som folketingsmand og byrådspolitiker. Vi møder ham som radiorådsformand under besættelsens svære år, to gange som formand for Folketinget og i knap ti år en meget aktiv undervisnings-, social- og kulturminister. Altid kredsende om, hvordan et fællesskab bygges og altid med det grundlæggende synspunkt, at livsidéen skal omsættes til handling. Bomholt lever sit liv mellem mange spændinger og gennemløber en udvikling fra ”ilter radikaler” over frustration til modenhed – fra ”Arbejderkultur” til ”Kulturen for Folket”. Til sidst hældes han ned ad brættet og må drage hjem til Digterhjemmet i Sønderho med mange planer, men kun et plagsomt år får han, før han dør i Sønderho i 1969.
"Strategic Management of Technological Innovation, 4e" by Melissa Schilling is the first comprehensive and rigorous, yet accessible text for the Technology and Innovation Management course. Unlike other books, Schilling's approach synthesizes the major research in the field, providing students with the knowledge needed to enhance case discussion and analysis. The subject is approached as a strategic process, and as such, is organized to mirror the strategic management process used in most strategy textbooks, progressing from assessing the competitive dynamics of a situation, to strategy formulation, to strategy implementation. As a brief, affordable paperback, it is ideal to package with cases. Recommended case sets from the author are available through McGraw-Hill Create or from the Harvard Business School Case Database.

"This clearly written narrative of the author's recovery from debilitating chronic pain documents the value of a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Her personal story is compelling, the psychology is accurate, her voice is distinct from others in the field and any reader suffering non-structural pain or illness can benefit." David D Clarke, MD - President of Psychophysiologic Disorders Association. Narinder Sheena draws from her personal journey of overcoming chronic pain to empower others. She explores the neuroscience behind pain, emphasising the impact of adverse childhood experiences on the mind. Narinder highlights how unconscious trauma can manifest as physical symptoms and how emotions play a significant role in chronic pain, triggering anxiety and keeping our nervous system in a heightened state. Through her experiences, resources, and tools, she invites pain sufferers to reflect on their own journeys and discover steps toward healing.
'A disturbing descent into a surreal world, written with a deft hand.' Adrian Tchaikovsky, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2016 South America, 1990. Ben Ronson, a British police officer, arrives in a mysterious forest to investigate a spate of killings of Duendes. These silent, vaguely humanoid creatures - with long limbs and black button eyes - have a strange psychic effect on people, unleashing the subconscious and exposing their innermost thoughts and fears. Ben becomes fascinated by the Duendes, but the closer he gets, the more he begins to unravel, with terrifying results... Beneath the World, A Sea is a tour de force of modern fiction - a deeply searching and unsettling novel about the human subconscious, and all that lies beneath. 'Beckett is superb at undercutting reader assumptions with a casual line of dialogue or acute psychological observation: the book reads like Conrad's Heart of Darkness reimagined by JG Ballard.' Guardian

*AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* WINNER OF THE POLITIKEN LITERATURE PRIZE 2024 'Brilliantly rewrites the history of economic thought to place 'her story' at its heart. A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS 'One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century . . . The book about capitalism we didn't know we needed' - Sofie Hagen In 2020, the prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten read an article stating that women were a net ‘deficit’ to society. Women took more than they gave, ‘draining’ the public purse by giving birth and taking parental leave. They contributed less than their fair share in taxes, because they often worked part-time to look after other people at home, or held low-paid jobs in the public sector. Denmark would be richer if women’s lives looked more like men’s, the economic experts concluded. A similar story is told around the globe. How did we get here? In Deficit , Emma Holten traces how economic thinkers – from the Enlightenment onwards – created a value framework that overlooked and neglected ‘women’s work’ and acts of care. She reveals how the economic models that drive political decisions today are just as flawed, giving us unparalleled monetary wealth, but causing deep social harms that are hurting us all. If we cannot properly value the things that matter, how can we build a better future?
1941. Krigen raser. Den 12-årige dreng, Joseph, bliver sendt ind til byen, hvor bombeflyene cirkler på himlen. Der skal han bo med Mrs. F, en brysk kvinde uden meget tilovers for børn. Hendes eneste kærlighed er den nedslidte zoologiske have, hun ejer, og dens mægtige gorilla, sølvryggen Adonis. Joseph er en vred dreng, der føler sig svigtet og forladt. Som ugerne går, afsløres hemmeligheder, og stærke bånd knyttes mellem drengen og den store gorilla, som han er sat til at vogte. Men hvis bomberne rammer, og Adonis sættes fri, vil Joseph så være i stand til at gøre det uundgåelige?
Bestselling author and teacher Natalie Goldberg has been writing for the past fifty years. But at the beginning of the pandemic, she suddenly wasn’t able to write anymore. Her imaginative wellspring had dried up, and she was forced to ask herself: what do I do when what has always worked for me doesn’t work anymore? In this beautifully written, inspiring personal account, Natalie shares her harrowing journey out of creative paralysis and back onto the page. When all of her tried and true methods – meditation, sitting still, writing practice – stopped working, she had to take drastic action. She got into her car and left New Mexico in search of a new inventive source. In her journey through the western states, she visited famous literary sites, searching for the spark that would reignite her ability to write. And, next to Hemingway’s grave, she found it. “Get going,” he seemed to say to her, and she did. Now, Natalie shares her story of traveling through literary and personal memory to clarify her way forward, struggling to make sense of her difficult relationships with parents and teachers, and digging into her long-held grief. Ultimately, she discovers how to write through the emptiness in order to fill up the world with compassion, healing, and renewed liveliness. For anyone struggling to reconnect with their own creative source, Writing on Empty is a gentle and instructive guid back to remembering what truly matters.
"The lessons and the antidotes and the essays that went into Consider This were originally written for The Cult website. The stories that went into Burnt Tongues were exercises based on those lessons. So if you like Consider This, please check out Burnt Tongues and see how those lessons were put into practice." -Chuck Palahniuk Transgressive fiction authors write stories some are afraid to tell. Stories with taboo subjects, unique voices, shocking images-nothing safe or dry. Burnt Tongues is a collection of transgressive stories selected by a rigorous nomination and vetting process and hand-selected by Chuck Palahniuk, bestselling author of Fight Club, as the best of The Cult workshop. These stories run the gamut from horrific and fantastic to humorous and touching, but each leaves a lasting impression. Some may say even a scar.

A panoramic history of rules in the Western world Rules order almost every aspect of our lives. They set our work hours, dictate how we drive and set the table, tell us whether to offer an extended hand or cheek in greeting, and organize the rites of life, from birth through death. We may chafe under the rules we have, and yearn for ones we don't, yet no culture could do without them. In Rules, historian Lorraine Daston traces their development in the Western tradition and shows how rules have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived. Daston uncovers three enduring kinds of rules: the algorithms that calculate and measure, the laws that govern, and the models that teach. She vividly illustrates how rules can change-how supple rules stiffen, or vice versa, and how once bothersome regulations become everyday norms. Rules have been devised for almost every imaginable activity and range from meticulous regulations to the laws of nature. Daston probes beneath this variety to investigate when rules work and when they don't, and why some philosophical problems about rules are as ancient as philosophy itself while others are as modern as calculating machines. Rules offers a wide-angle view on the history of the constraints that guide us-whether we know it or not.
"Det er bare en fase" er Julia Lahmes varme, humoristiske og reflekterede samling af scener og tanker fra et familieliv med teenagere. Hvad stiller man egentligt op, når ens lille barn pludselig ikke længere er så lille mere, men en selvstændig, identitetssøgende og udfordrende teenager fyldt af hormoner og trang til trods? Det sætter Julia Lahme ord på i "Det er bare en fase". Det er en kærlig, personlig og eftertænksom bog om moderskabets og familiens forandringer, når de ældste går fra børn til unge voksne.
The renowned author of The Stripping of the Altars takes a new and controversial look at the reign of England’s “Bloody Mary” The reign of Mary Tudor has been remembered as an era of sterile repression, when a reactionary monarch launched a doomed attempt to reimpose Catholicism on an unwilling nation. Above all, the burning alive of more than 280 men and women for their religious beliefs seared the rule of “Bloody Mary” into the protestant imagination as an alien aberration in the onward and upward march of the English-speaking peoples. In this controversial reassessment, the renowned reformation historian Eamon Duffy argues that Mary's regime was neither inept nor backward looking. Led by the queen's cousin, Cardinal Reginald Pole, Mary’s church dramatically reversed the religious revolution imposed under the child king Edward VI. Inspired by the values of the European Counter-Reformation, the cardinal and the queen reinstated the papacy and launched an effective propaganda campaign through pulpit and press. Even the most notorious aspect of the regime, the burnings, proved devastatingly effective. Only the death of the childless queen and her cardinal on the same day in November 1558 brought the protestant Elizabeth to the throne, thereby changing the course of English history.

Ved havet fra 1978 er en varm og poetisk roman. Særligt bemærkelsesværdig er den måde, hvorpå den henter sin æstetik fra billedmediet. Igennem hele bogen er der i marginen anført eksakte tidsangivelser, som var den en slags filmmanuskript, og i det hele taget er formen præget af et sanseligt, filmisk udtryk. I fortællingen krydsklippes mellem en række personer en sommersøndag ved stranden på vadehavsøen Rømø. Her på denne umiddelbart tilfældige dag udspiller små og store begiveheder sig og blandes med poetiske beskrivelser af havet, stranden og himlen. Gribende er fx skildringen af den unge Biggies faretruende faldskærmsudspring, da han et sted mellem himmel og jord, mellem det rationelt sproglige og det uhåndgribeligt sprogløse, nærmer sig poesiens forunderlige væsen. Ved havet er en munter og imødekommende fortælling om en dag ved stranden, men samtidig en filosofisk roman, der på enestående vis indfanger spændingen mellem menneskelivets timelighed og havet og himlens evighed.Udkommer som del afen serie tekstkritiske Seeberg-udgaver på planmæssigt 11 bind udgivet i et samarbejde mellem Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab og Gyldendal. Serien bringer forfatterens værker nyetableret på baggrund af førsteudgaverne og med indførende noter samt introducerende efterskrifter skrevet af nogle af landets fremmeste kendere af forfatterskabet.

With the help of his sister (and her dad, AKA his boss), he makes a plan to become the king of her heart, including the road trip of a lifetime, and uses the Love Story Bucket List she made as a kid as his road map. Along the way, Zee convinces Zoe to play pretend with him, but can he mastermind his way into keeping her forever and always? The Playlist is a contemporary childhood friends to lovers romance. It's book five in the Springbrook Hills series, but can be read as a standalone. It is a full-length romance with a Happily Ever After that features sexually explicit material and profanity. This book is intended for 18+
The first comprehensive biography of Alice In Chains from its genre-forging years on the hard edge of grunge to the tragic death of lead singer Layne Staley and the band's comeback. Alice in Chains were among the loudest voices out of Seattle. They were iconic pioneers who mixed grunge and metal in ways that continue to influence today's artists, and theirs is a story of hard work, self-destruction, rising from the ashes, and carrying on a lasting legacy. Four years after their first meeting at a warehouse under Seattle's Ballard Bridge, Alice in Chains became the first of grunge's big four - ahead of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden - to get a gold record and achieve national recognition. With the charismatic Layne Staley behind the microphone, they became one of the most influential and successful bands to come out of the Seattle music scene. But as the band got bigger, so did their problems. Acclaimed journalist David de Sola delves beneath the secrecy, gossip, and rumor surrounding the band to tell their full story for the first time. Based on a wealth of interviews with people who have direct knowledge of the band, many speaking on the record for the very first time, de Sola explores how drugs nearly destroyed them and claimed the lives of Staley and founding bassist Mike Starr, follows Jerry Cantrell's solo career and Mike Starr's life after being fired from the band, and chronicles the band's resurrection with new lead singer William DuVall. From their anonymous struggles to topping the charts with hits like "Would?," "Man in the Box," and "Rooster," Alice in Chains reveals the members of the band not as caricatures of rock stars but as brilliant, nuanced, and flawed human beings whose years of hard work led to the seemingly overnight success that changed the music scene forever.

In his monumental 1687 work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known familiarly as the Principia, Isaac Newton laid out in mathematical terms the principles of time, force, and motion that have guided the development of modern physical science. Even after more than three centuries and the revolutions of Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics continues to account for many of the phenomena of the observed world, and Newtonian celestial dynamics is used to determine the orbits of our space vehicles. This authoritative, modern translation by I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman, the first in more than 285 years, is based on the 1726 edition, the final revised version approved by Newton; it includes extracts from the earlier editions, corrects errors found in earlier versions, and replaces archaic English with contemporary prose and up-to-date mathematical forms. Newton's principles describe acceleration, deceleration, and inertial movement; fluid dynamics; and the motions of the earth, moon, planets, and comets. A great work in itself, the Principia also revolutionized the methods of scientific investigation. It set forth the fundamental three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity, the physical principles that account for the Copernican system of the world as emended by Kepler, thus effectively ending controversy concerning the Copernican planetary system. The translation - only edition of this preeminent work is truly accessible for today's scientists, scholars, and students.

En syg ungdom Opioidkrisens danske ansigt Jens er lige blevet student. Han er 19 år, og verden ligger for hans fødder, da han en helt almindelig eftermiddag lader sig overtale til at tage „dol“. „Dol“ er lægemidlet Tramadol. Et opioid, der bruges til at behandle stærke smerter, men som også kan misbruges som rusmiddel, fordi det påvirker centralnervesystemet og kan give et sus af dopamin – en stærk lykkefølelse. Men ligesom de fleste unge ved Jens ikke, hvor hurtig og afgrundsdyb en afhængighed, „dol“ kan føre med sig. På få uger begynder hans krop at skrige på flere piller, og det bliver ved, indtil han falder om efter et flere år langt misbrugshelvede. Med denne bog ønsker Jens at tage ansvar for sin historie. Han vil nuancere den fortælling, andre har om ham og hans generation. Han har mærket stigmaet ved at være stofmisbruger og den isolation, der følger med. Han har løjet, han har svigtet, og han har mistet dyrebare relationer. Han har mærket ensomheden, når han har været i et misbrug, og ensomheden i de perioder, hvor han har været clean. Han har kæmpet sig ud af afhængigheden og er faldet i igen. Mange gange. Han fortæller, hvordan det var. Hvordan det er. Og reflekterer over, hvorfor det skete.

An instant New York Times bestseller--the "insidery, detailed, and absorbing" ( Sports Illustrated ) biography of Nick Saban, the polarizing University of Alabama football coach who not only transformed the college game, but might also be the best ever at winning. As the head coach of the University of Alabama's football team, Nick Saban is perhaps the most influential--and polarizing--man in the sport. His program-building vision has delivered packed stadiums, rabid fans, legions of detractors, countless NFL draft picks, and a total of four national championships, including three in the last five years. He is the only coach in the college football's modern era (since 1936) to win national championships at two different schools. Monte Burke's Saban --the first major biography of the man who has come to epitomize the game--presents this towering figure with a never-before-seen human depth. Though a great deal is known about Nick Saban the coach, not much is known about Nick Saban the man. Little is written about his early climb through the coaching ranks as an assistant in college and in the NFL, or his head-coaching stints at Michigan State and Louisiana State and his struggles as a pro coach with the Miami Dolphins. Through unprecedented interviews with more than 250 friends, coworkers, rivals, former players, and others, Burke reveals the defining moments of the coach's life, including the beginning of his recruiting career at age ten; his dramatic departures from three different high-profile football teams; and the building of championship programs at Louisiana State and Alabama. In Saban , "Burke has written a winning, definitive portrait of a fascinating character.... A no-holds-barred glimpse into the quest for perfection" ( Publishers Weekly ).
Hunden, katten og musen har sluttet fred. Fra nu af skal de være gode venner og ikke jagte hinanden.

From the thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group come lessons on how leading health systems around the world are delivering patient-centered, value-based care by focusing on the health outcomes that matter to patients. To address the growing crises confronting the global health sector, health systems need to deliver better health outcomes to patients for the money spent, an approach known as value-based health care. Contrary to traditional approaches to health-systems reform that emphasize cost containment, value-based health care shifts the focus to continuous improvement in the outcomes delivered to patients. Systematically measuring, tracking, and improving health outcomes over time can have a transformative effect, enabling health systems to: deliver better patient outcomes and overall population health more consistently identify and disseminate best-practice diagnoses and treatments more rapidly control total health-care costs more effectively because unnecessary procedures are eliminated, expensive complications occur less frequently, and repeat treatments are avoided rebuild the trust and motivation of health professionals by aligning system performance goals with professional purpose The only way for the health care sector to sustainably contain costs and fulfill its mission is by putting the patient and the delivery of outcomes that matter to patients at the center of the industry’s efforts and by aligning incentives around the continuous improvement of health outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Designed by thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group as a practical step-by-step guide for clinicians, payers, policymakers, and other industry stakeholders, The Patient Priority features powerful case studies of leading value-based innovators —both public and private, as well as from both high- and low-income countries—that are taking the concept of value-based health care from theory to practice. The book also presents a detailed road map for the comprehensive value-based transformation of national health systems. This book is an indispensable tool to launch a new era of patient-centered innovation, unlock value in health care, and bring about step-function improvements in productivity, performance, and population health.

From the most original and beloved screenwriter of his generation, the complete Oscar-nominated screenplay of Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglorious Basterds . From the brilliant writer/director behind the iconic films Pulp Fiction , Kill Bill, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , comes Tarantino's most ambitious movie: a World War II epic starring Brad Pitt and filmed on location in Germany and France. The action tale follows the parallel story of a guerrilla-like squad of American soldiers called "The Basterds" and the French Jewish teenage girl Shosanna who find themselves behind enemy Nazi lines during the German occupation. When the Inglourious Basterds encounter Shosanna at a propaganda screening at the movie house she runs, they conspire to launch an unexpected plot to end the war. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine -- the leader of the Basterds. Raine is an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down the Nazis. Filled with Tarantino's trademark electric dialogue and thrilling action sequences, Inglourious Basterds is one of the most celebrated films of the twenty-first century.

Explorations of plant consciousness and human interactions with the natural world. From apples to ayahuasca, coffee to kurrajong, passionflower to peyote, plants are conscious beings. How they interact with each other, with humanity and with the world at large has long been studied by researchers, scientists and spiritual teachers and seekers. The Mind of Plants: Narratives of Vegetal Intelligence brings together works from all these disciplines and more in a collection of essays that highlights what we know and what we intuit about botanical life. The Mind of Plants, featuring a foreword by Dennis McKenna, is a collection of short essays, narratives and poetry on plants and their interaction with humans. Contributors include Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of the New York Times’ best seller Braiding Sweetgrass, Jeremy Narby, John Kinsella, Luis Eduardo Luna, Megan Kaminski and dozens more. The book’s editors, John C. Ryan, Patrícia Vieira and Monica Gagliano – each of whom also contributed works to the collection – weave together essays, personal reflections and poems paired with intricate illustrations by José María Pout. Recent scientific research in the field of plant cognition highlights the capacity of botanical life to discern between options and learn from prior experiences or, in other words, to think. The Mind of Plants includes texts that interpret this concept broadly. As Mckenna writes in his foreword, “What the reader will find here, expressed in poetry and prose, are stories that are infused with cherished memories and inspired celebrations of unique relationships with a group of organisms that are alien and unlike us in every way, yet touch human lives in myriad ways.”

Grønland ser sig selv på vej til selvstændighed. Dette billede – og de spændinger, der indgår i det – former trekantforholdet mellem EU, Grønland og Danmark. Danmark har i flere århundreder fyldt rigtigt meget af horisonten, når man fra Grønland ser ud mod verden. Samtidig findes både i Grønland og i Danmark et ideal om, at hvis man er en rigtig nation, så er man et homogent fællesskab med sin egen stat. På den baggrund bliver det afgørende for, at Rigsfællesskabet kan fortsætte, at Grønland har behov for ekstern bistand til sin udvikling frem mod selvstændighed – og at dette behov kan formuleres på en måde, der ikke fremstiller Grønland som et umyndigt barn. Som en del af afkoloniseringsprocessen har Grønland søgt at sprede sin afhængighed af omverdenen. Forholdet mellem Danmark og Grønland er dermed gradvist åbnet. Et centralt eksempel er den serie af retoriske og praktiske ‘suverænitetspil’, der har udspillet sig i trekantforholdet Grønland/EU/Danmark. I forhold til både EU og andre har aktuelle forestillinger om, hvordan klimaforandringerne åbner Arktis for mineraludvinding og handel, givet Grønland nye kort på hånden. Denne bog analyserer disse forandringer i national identitetsdiskurs og praktisk udenrigspolitik ved hjælp af fem greb: Gennem diskursanalyser identificeres de centrale begreber, der organiserer dansk og grønlandsk identitet. Politiske debatter læses som identitetsforhandlinger. Den praktisk-diplomatiske håndtering af modstridende identitetsdiskurser afdækkes gennem kvalitative interviews med politikere, diplomater og embedsmænd fra Grønland, Danmark og EU. Juridiske tekster betragtes som det ‘fastfrosne’ resultat af retoriske og praktiske suverænitetsspil. Endelig udvikler bogen scenarier for fremtiden og udpeger på den baggrund, hvordan rigsfællesskabets overlevelseschance kan bedres, hvis det tænkes som en ‘stadigt løsere union’. Én måde, hvorpå Danmark kan gøre det billede mere overbevisende, er at sætte sit embedsværk og diplomati i Grønlands tjeneste: Danmark må aktivt understøtte arbejdet med at sprede Grønlands afhængighed ud – som det er sket i forholdet til EU. Kun ved at gøre Rigsfællesskabet overflødigt, kan det reddes. Ulrik Pram Gad er lektor ved Institut for Kultur og Globale Studier, Aalborg Universitet. Fra 1998 til 2002 arbejdede han i Nuuk som direktionssekretær i Landsstyrets Sekretariat og som kontorchef i Hjemmestyrets Udenrigskontor. Hans forskning fokuserer aktuelt på postkoloniale relationer mellem Grønland og Danmark, bæredygtighedsbegreber i Arktis, samt på sikkerhedsliggørelse af muslimer.
