Robert Langdon is back in the long-awaited new race-against-time thriller from the global bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons . Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she’s been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself. The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown’s first novel for over eight years and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that he holds dear… Praise for Dan Brown: ‘Dan Brown is my must-read’ Harlan Coben ‘Exceedingly clever’ The Washington Post ‘A master of smart thrills’ People Magazine ‘Impossible to put down’ The New York Times ‘Dan Brown is the master of the intellectual cliffhanger’ Wall Street Journal ‘For anyone who wants more brain-food than thrillers normally provide’ Sunday Times ‘Dan Brown has to be one of the best, smartest, and most accomplished writers in the country.’ Nelson DeMille |
3. Conceited - T.L. Smith
|

|
Ariel  I would like to say we were old lovers. That once upon a time he was my everything, and I was his, but that would be a lie. He may have been mine, but I wasn't his. I was his sister's annoying little friend who he didn't even know was in love with him.  Years later, after seeing him again for the first time, nothing has changed. Except now he notices me, and I will do everything in my power to avoid him. Because Falcon is the most conceited man on this planet, and because when he looks at me with steel eyes, my heart still misses a beat.  Falcon I get what I want, and I'm never denied anything either. It's my charm. It's hard to say no to something you never knew you desired until I'm standing in front of you. That's not just who I am, it's what I do. I help men achieve everything they have ever wanted.  Most people would go to great lengths to be near me. Yet, my sweet Ariel, I can't even get her to stay in the same room as me. Maybe it's because I told her I would be the best lay of her life—that has to be it—and once I'm finished with her, she's avoiding being disappointed by every other man for the rest of her life.  It couldn't possibly be anything else, because let's face it, I'm perfect.  *Can be read as a Standalone* |

Instead, she's the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hotdogs. When Eva's impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she's thrust into the spotlight. It doesn't help that said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality, who built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners. Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behaviour, then debrief them on his channel to show he's changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but this could advance her own career... and she wouldn't mind defaming Rylie's good name in the process.

Baker Ritter knew how to pick them. She met the man she thought she was going to marry in middle school, gave him some of the best years of her life, for him to leave her pregnant and alone hours before she’s due to have his baby. To make matters worse, he brings his side chick to the birth, and she’s left with a decision—fight for what she wants, or cut her losses. What she should’ve done was cut her losses. What she does instead is take him back and experiences what it’s like to live in hell. When she’s at the lowest of the low, she calls her dad, an ex-con, who sends the one person he knows that can fix it all. Copper Clayborne. *** Copper Clayborne has no time for nonsense—that nonsense being a woman and a baby. But that woman’s dad saved his life in prison and kept saving it until he was strong enough to save himself. He owes everything to Baker’s dad, so of course he says yes when he asks to let Baker move in with him. That doesn’t mean that he has to have anything to do with her. He’s got a business to fix—then bring down in the most fantastic, public way possible. He’s also got years of celibacy to make up for. He doesn’t have time to fall for the woman and her kid. He certainly doesn’t have the mental headspace to deal with her drama. He gives it his all, but Baker wiggles into his cracked and bleeding heart, and makes herself right at home. Whether he wants her there or not. |

10. Afdelingen for magisk tænkning - Morten Münster
|
|||
|
Velkommen i Afdelingen for magisk tænkning – stedet, hvor ønsketænkning kan erstatte en reel indsats. Hvor kogebøger om kål er det samme som at spise kål, og hvor PowerPoints og elastikker gør en forskel for medarbejdernes sundhedsprognose. I Afdelingen for magisk tænkning er der altid varmt under dynen, men desværre holder selvbedraget os tilbage fra at lykkes – både på arbejde og derhjemme. Så hvordan kommer vi ud af Afdelingen? Ved at omfavne det utrolige potentiale i middelmådighed. Øhh, hvad? Hvem skulle have troet, at middelmådighed får os tættere på alt det, vi gerne vil have? Større mental trivsel, sundere vaner, øget produktivitet, bedre nattesøvn og et længere og lykkeligere liv? Det lyder helt urealistisk. For vi er opdraget til, at vi skal være ekstraordinære. Samfundet råber det, og mange af os går rundt med dårlig samvittighed over alle de ting, vi burde forbedre og alle de steder, hvor vi ikke slår til. Sagen er bare, at det er en rigtig dårlig ide at forsøge at blive ekstraordinær. Og igennem bogen vil Morten Münster tage dig på en underholdende rejse gennem samfundet for at vise, hvordan vores besættelse af det ekstraordinære har gjort os syge, dumme og ineffektive. Men endnu vigtigere får du kuren. Og det er, at du skal omfavne middelmådigheden. Og hvis du lykkes med det, så ender du paradoksalt nok med at blive ret ekstraordinær. I bogen finder du blandt andet ud af: Hvordan man skaber nye vaner, der varer ved Hvorfor de fleste forældre går alt for meget op i opdragelse Hvordan man skaber en bæredygtig karriere uden at brænde ud Hvorfor ’godt nok’ hænger direkte sammen med dit mentale helbred Hvorfor hårdt arbejde er overvurderet, hvis du vil være produktiv Hvorfor folk insisterer på at overkomplicere enkle ting Du skal også høre om banjo-mentalitet, Tanzania-logik og den tankevækkende Niels Hausgaard-regel. Og så kommer Poul Krebs også forbi. I et wingsuit. Det er en lang historie. Du burde virkelig læse den. |

12. Journalkoncept - Jens Sundbøll & Morten Schmidt
|
|||
|
Journalkoncept – speciale- og sygdomsspecifik journaloptag er et interaktivt værktøj henvendt til medicinstuderende og yngre læger som hjælp til en struktureret journaloptagelse, der samtidigt er speciale- og sygdomsspecifikt. Enhver journal skal indeholde obligatoriske elementer, men den gode journal skiller sig ud ved også at være fokuseret – dvs. den inddrager kun relevant anamnestisk og objektiv information. Mange yngre læger går rundt med et journalkoncept i kittellommen. Mange af disse er lavet efter filosofien “Ét journalkoncept for alle patientkategorier”. Fordelen ved dette er at den overordnede struktur er ens for alle patienter. Ulempen er at journaloptagelsen ikke bliver fokuseret i forhold til det enkelte speciale og sygdom. Denne bog kombinerer journalkoncepter på tre niveauer: 1) Det almene journalkoncept , der tjener som basis for de mere specifikke journalkoncepter. 2) Det specialespecifikke journalkoncept , der gør det muligt at optage en fokuseret journal inden for hvert af de intern medicinske specialer. Her er information fra det almene koncept nedtonet og mere specialespecifik information fremhævet.  3) Det sygdomsspecifikke journalkoncept , der udspecificerer subjektivt og objektivt for over 100 af de hyppigste sygdomme inden for de forskellige specialer. Denne information er inkorporeret som touch screen bokse under de specialespecifikke journalkoncepter. |

In this desolate world where the monsters are as beautiful as they are cruel, trust is elusive. They torment her, protect her, and keep her in the dark. But to have any chance of escape, they must stand together. Or fall prey to the evil in the hills of shivers and shadows. |

15. Da Vinci Mysteriet - Dan Brown
|
|||
|
Alle tiders ultimative bestseller! En forrygende krimi, som har taget verden med storm. Under en konference i Paris bliver Robert Langdon, en amerikansk symbolforsker, ringet op midt om natten på sit hotelværelse. Museumsdirektøren på Louvre er fundet myrdet inde på museet, og på gulvet ved siden af ham står der skrevet en mystisk, kodet meddelelse. Langdon får følgeskab af den franske kryptograf Sophie Neveu og sammen kastes de ud i et forrygende opklaringsarbejde. Sagens alvor går i høj grad op for dem da Langdon finder ud af at den afdøde museumsdirektør var medlem af Priory of Sion – en hemmelig loge der eksisterer i virkeligheden, og som Da Vinci i sin tid var medlem af. Langdon og Neveu har med forundring opdaget at mange af de mystiske meddelelser har forbindelse til Da Vincis værker der er fyldt med camouflerede hentydninger til en eksplosiv, men velbevaret hemmelighed. Det står pludselig klart at det ikke alene er en morder Langdon og Neveu er på sporet af, men også en af de største hemmeligheder gennem tiderne – en hemmelighed som er lige så opsigtsvækkende som den er farlig.  Langdon og Neveu hvirvles ind i en hæsblæsende jagt hvor det efterhånden går op for dem at de er oppe mod en yderst magtfuld modstander. Med mindre de kan gennemskue det net af mystiske meddelelser der dukker op, vil ikke alene morderen gå fri – en ældgammel, skæbnesvanger sandhed vil også være tabt for evigt. |

This sweet YA romance is perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenny Han—and is one of the most beloved Wattpad books ever! Moving in with eleven boys was not part of the plan. Jackie's goal is perfection—perfect grades, the perfect look, getting into the perfect school. If she can achieve that, then maybe her too-busy mom and dad will take notice. But when her parents die in a tragic accident, Jackie is shipped off across the country to live with the Walters, her new guardians…who just happen to have eleven sons (plus a daughter who is basically one of the boys). The Walter boys are loud, dirty, annoying—and, okay, some of the older boys might be Greek god level hot, but they don't think a city girl belongs on their horse ranch. How is Jackie supposed to fit into their chaotic world when she needs to keep her parents' memory alive by living up to the promise of perfect? But as Jackie spends more time with the Walter boys, she begins to wonder if the perfection she's always strived for isn't the only way to find love after all.

The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable.   And born of mortal flesh…   Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her, and the support of the wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way—because there can be no retreat this time. Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace.   A great primal power rises…   Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear—to protect those who cannot defend themselves. But war is only the beginning. Ancient primal powers have already stirred, revealing the horror of what began eons ago. To end what the Blood Queen has begun, Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be—what she fears the most.   As the Harbinger of Death and Destruction. |

#1 NEW YORK TIMES READERS BEST BOOK OF THE 21ST CENTURY A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE FOR FICTION THE MULTI-MILLION COPY SELLING AUTHOR BOOK AT BEDTIME ON BBC RADIO 4 AN OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK 'Without a doubt the best book I'll read this year.' KATE ATKINSON 'It's EPIC. Righteously angry, DEEPLY moving and exquisitely written.' MARIAN KEYES 'Daring, entertaining and highly readable.' The Times 'Electrifying.' Daily Mail 'A blaze of a book.' RACHEL JOYCE 'A masterclass.' RICHARD POWERS 'Masterful.' Pulitzer Prize 'Powerful.' Guardian 'A work of genius.' KATE MOSSE ____________ Demon Copperhead is a once-in-a-generation novel that breaks and mends your heart in the way only the best fiction can. Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn't an abstraction, it's neighbours, parents, and friends. 'Family' could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he's willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between. ____________ Readers love Demon Copperhead : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Outstanding . . . I don't know how someone can write a book like this: inhabit a totally different character and create it with such empathy, respect and fullness.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Powerful and brilliant. To immerse yourself in a Kingsolver novel is to put yourself in the hands of a master.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This was one of the greatest books I have read . . . Kingsolver is a magician with words, and her rage quietly seeps from each page.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Raw, angry, starkly beautiful . . . Genuinely one of the best books I've ever read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An incredibly raw and moving read, with a big-hearted hero who will stay with me for a long time.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I cannot overstate how absorbing this book is. It is wonderful and has restored my faith in fiction and novels.' |

One kiss could be the last Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she’s crushed on since forever. Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she’s not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn’t an issue, considering Roth has no soul. But when Layla discovers she’s the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world. Reviews Praise for Jennifer L. Armentrout ‘I hope you guys love this book as much as I do!’ Sarah J.

|

|
Hvad gør det ved et samfund, når det utænkelige rammer? Og hvad gør det ved et menneske, når nogen tæt på viser sig at være en helt anden?      Klokken 04:07 den 10. juli 2016 forlod en lys Hyundai i30 Korsør Station. Føreren havde netop bortført Emilie Meng, og snart ville han slå hende ihjel. I syv år lykkedes det gerningsmanden at undslippe politiet, og først da han i 2023 bortførte en 13-årig pige fra Kirkerup, blev sagen opklaret. For et lokalsamfund var det enden på flere års frygt og utryghed, men for andre var det starten på et mareridt. I 15 år havde Nichlas Kruse kaldt gerningsmanden for sin bedste ven. Nu måtte han og kæresten, Kiri Kamilla Olsen, se i øjnene, at de ikke anede, hvem det menneske, de havde boet sammen med, var. KORSØR 04:07 fortæller Korsørsagen indefra. Vi kommer tæt på et lokalsamfund i undtagelsestilstand, hvor naboer angiver hinanden, hvor unge kvinder lever i frygt, og forældre forbyder deres døtre at færdes nær Korsør Station. Vi kommer tæt på forbrydelserne og efterforskningen og får indblik i en alvorlig kritik af politiets arbejde via ikke tidligere fremlagte sagsakter. Og så kommer vi helt tæt på en dømt serieforbryder gennem to af de mennesker, der kendte ham bedst. Bogens fortæller er TV 2-journalist Ida Marie Lomholt Wismann, som har dækket sagen tæt og har et indgående kendskab til politiets efterforskning og til lokalsamfundet. |

48. Down and Out in Paradise - Charles Leerhsen
|
|||
|
The bestselling, “unvarnished” ( The New York Times ), “engrossing” ( The Guardian ), “gritty, well-researched” ( The Economist )—and definitely unauthorized—biography of the celebrity chef and TV star Anthony Bourdain, based on extensive interviews with those who knew the real story. Anthony Bourdain’s death by suicide in June 2018 shocked people around the world. Bourdain seemed to have it all: an irresistible personality, a dream job, a beautiful family, and international fame. The reality, though, was more complicated than it seemed. Bourdain became a celebrity with his bestselling book Kitchen Confidential . He parlayed it into a series of hit television shows, including the Food Channel’s Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and CNN’s Parts Unknown. But his bad boy charisma belied a troubled spirit. Addiction and an obsession with perfection and personal integrity ruined two marriages and turned him into a boss from hell, even as millions of fans became enamored of the quick-witted and genuinely empathetic traveler they saw on TV. At the height of his success Bourdain was already running out of steam, physically and emotionally, when he fell hard for an Italian actress who could be even colder to him than he sometimes was to others, and who effectively drove a wedge between him and his young daughter. Down and Out in Paradise is the first book to tell the full Bourdain story, and to show how Bourdain’s never-before-reported childhood traumas fueled both the creativity and insecurities that would lead him to a place of despair. “Filled with fresh, intimate details” ( The New York Times ), this is the real story behind an extraordinary life. |

И немного есть на свете книг, которые могли бы столь реально научить нас сознанию изобилия, как эта. |

Close to proving that her current site is significant, she is blindsided when her cousin books her a blind date through an exclusive agency.   Knowing some battles are better left alone, she doesn't expect much… a nice meal and an overnight stay at a fancy hotel… instead, she finds her date is hotter than hades and better yet? He's a werewolf. A lean, muscled, longhaired alpha werewolf she suddenly wants to test all those theories about werewolf stamina with… He wants a woman who doesn't know who he is, he doesn't expect to find his mate.  Werewolf rockstar and lead singer of the Lyric Hounds, Aaron Rixx has it all. Talent, fame, riches… but he'd give it all up for a woman who sees the man and not the rockstar. In a fit of… something, he books a date with an exclusive and very discrete agency.

She's small, curvy, beautiful… and the one thing he never thought he could have: his mate. Now all he has to do is convince her of that.  But missing siblings and car accidents conspire to keep them apart, and he loses her. Can he find his mate again before a crazy fan decides that the best way to remove the competition for his affection is permanently? **Previously released with a different publisher under the title 'Melody's Wolf'** |

Proteinmanifestet er din guide til at forstå, hvorfor protein – og særligt animalsk protein – er nøglen til en sund og stærk krop. Protein er det vigtigste makronæringsstof, det er involveret i stort set alle biologiske processer og det spiller en rolle for mæthed, søvn, humør, hormonbalance, muskelmasse, immunsystem og meget mere. I en tid, hvor vi taler mere om mængden af protein end kvaliteten af det, og hvor plantebaserede erstatninger hyldes uden hensyn til kvalitet eller næringsværdi, stiller denne bog et nødvendigt spørgsmål: Husker vi egentlig, hvad kroppen har brug for? Med afsæt i praksis, biologi og sund fornuft får du indsigt i, hvordan du med fokus på komplet protein kan: Spise dig mæt og tilfreds Bevare og opbygge muskelmasse Fremme sund forbrænding og vægt Opleve mere stabil energi og færre cravings Støtte restitution, hormonbalance og velvære Bogen er både et opgør med ernæringsforvirring og en hyldest til den mad, vi som mennesker trives bedst på. Du får letforståelig teori, brugbare redskaber og 60 proteinrige opskrifter med fokus på naturlige, nærende råvarer. Det er ikke en kur. Det er en tilbagevenden til mad med mening. |

|

|
"A modern classic" Observer "Astonishing and compelling . . . Impossible to put down" Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King Ethiopia, 1982: After a decade of conflict, the government is determined to quash the Eritrean insurgency once and for all. As head of propaganda, it's Tsegaye's job to keep the people onside. When the Red Star Campaign lands him in Asmara, Tsegaye is swept up in the city's nightlife, the bars and coffeehouses buzzing with spies and government agents. But even as Tsegaye begins to fall in love with Asmara ‒ and with bold, dazzling, enigmatic Fiammetta ‒ his misgivings about the campaign grow, and soon his loyalties will be tested to their limit. Tsegaye is confronted with the horror of war when the army attacks the insurgents' mountain stronghold, and encounters betrayals that shake his faith in both the regime and human nature. A masterpiece of Ethiopian literature, Oromay is a thrilling political satire and a turbulent tale of love and war. It became an instant sensation when first published in 1983 and was quickly banned. Baalu Girma vanished in 1984, most likely kidnapped and murdered by the same regime in retaliation for this novel . Translated from Amharic by David DeGusta and Mesfin Felleke Yirgu |

94. Niestosowne zachowanie - Vi Keeland
|

Zwolniona za niestosowne zachowanie. Nie mogłam uwierzyć, kiedy czytałam list w moich rękach. Dziewięć lat. Dziewięć cholernych lat zapracowywałam się na śmierć dla jednej z największych firm w Ameryce, a kiedy wróciłam do domu po tygodniu spędzonym na Arubie, wyrzucono mnie, w dodatku za pośrednictwem listu. Wszystko za sprawą filmu nakręconego, gdy byłam na wakacjach ze znajomymi – prywatnego filmu nakręconego w moim prywatnym czasie. A przynajmniej tak myślałam… Wkurzona otworzyłam butelkę wina i napisałam swój własny list do dyrektora generalnego, miliardera, w którym powiedziałem mu, co myślę o jego firmie i jej praktykach. Nie sądziłam, że faktycznie zareaguje. Z pewnością nigdy nie myślałam, że nagle zostanę korespondencyjną kumpelą bogatego palanta. W końcu zdał sobie sprawę, że zostałam pokrzywdzona, i dopilnował, bym odzyskała pracę. Tylko… to nie była jedyna rzecz, jaką Grant Lexington chciał dla mnie zrobić. Ale nie było mowy, żebym związała się z szefem szefa mojego szefa. Nawet jeśli był absurdalnie wspaniały, pewny siebie i czarujący. Byłoby to całkowicie nieodpowiednie, a nawet… niestosowne. |

99. Overcoming Ambivalence: The Case for Japanese Martial Internationalism - Japan's Contemporary Military Policy Debate, Alternate Strategies and Constitutional Changes for the Self-Defense Forces - Progressive Management

This report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This study seeks to demonstrate that Japan can best satisfy its international security interests by assuming a combatant role in current and future multinational military coalitions. The study labels this alternative military posture “martial internationalism.” An understanding of how Japanese military policy serves its overall international security interests is a central concern of this study. Japan’s international security interests are defined as: (1) shaping a stable international security environment, (2) supporting the United Nations, and (3) upholding the Japan-United States alliance. Factors considered in this argument include trends in Japan’s postwar military policy evolution and recent military activities and developments. The nature of Japan’s current domestic military policy debate is analyzed in terms of relevant political, social, military, and economic perspectives. Regional and international ramifications of a more militarily assertive Japan are explored. The study investigates the potential for martial internationalism to realize Japan’s international security interests and to permit a greater Japanese military contribution to the ongoing War on Terrorism. Finally, the study offers specific recommendations for both Japan and the United States toward implementing this alternative strategic design. I. INTRODUCTION * II. THE EVOLUTION OF JAPANESE MILITARY POLICY * III. JAPAN’S CONTEMPORARY MILITARY POLICY DEBATE * IV. THE CASE FOR MARTIAL INTERNATIONALISM * V. CONCLUSION On one hand, Japan faces considerable domestic and regional opposition to the use of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) in any but the most limited missions. These interests tend to favor a pacifist Japanese military orientation. Conversely, reasoned and legitimate use of its military in support of the interests of the international community presents Japan with a significant opportunity to bolster its prestige and leadership position in global affairs. In spite of this, many people fear that increased military activity could lead to a resurgence of Japanese militarism or, to a lesser degree, a military posture of autonomy. Because of these conflicting influences, Japan remains in a state of virtual paralysis regarding its national military policy - a military posture the thesis labels “static ambivalence.” Yet, history shows that despite this ambivalent attitude, Japanese military policy has evolved significantly since the end of the Second World War. This is especially true in the last ten years. Shifts from Japan’s initial postwar pacifism were few in number but dramatic in their effect, demonstrating a tendency over time toward fewer constraints and greater flexibility of action. During the early years of the Cold War, Japan focused almost solely on economic growth and recovery while only reluctantly succumbing to American pressures to provide for its own defense. When Japan achieved economic power in the 1970s, its military policy became even more connected to the other two pillars of the comprehensive security triad: diplomacy and trade. This forced wider the gap between Japanese and American views of the alliance. Later, Soviet, then Chinese and North Korean security threats prompted Japan to assert itself more in the military arena. These actions brought the nation into greater harmony with American global defense strategies and greatly strengthened the alliance in the 1990s. Finally, with the recent advent of the War on Terrorism, Japan has received a momentous opportunity to reform its military policy and embark on a renewed path toward becoming a “normal” nation. |
100. Design for Repair - Derrick Mead
|
|||
|
Repair is a design constraint and an outcome of product design. It’s also a practical activity performed—or not—on designed objects. Similar skills and understanding are required to design and fix things well, but these shared capacities are applied to very different practical ends. Both agents, the designer and the repairer, seek to solve similar problems, but from opposing starting points, with different goals and limitations. Holistic, empathic thinking is key from either vantage; empathy for the user as well as the object is vital. Design for Repair investigates the historical and current state of repair in material culture as it applies specifically to product designers. The economic, technical, and psychological limitations to making things more repairable are explored, with the electric toaster taken as an example. The repairable products of several designers operating under special contemporary conditions are examined in detail, and the implications that a more repairable material culture might have for issues including personal agency, macro- and microeconomics, and the environment are considered. |
