Emma loves music. She loves the boom boom boom of a good bass beat. She loves the stomp stomp stomp her feet make when she dances. She loves to rock out with her mom, her dad, and her little sister. And she loves to twang, strum, and thrum on her guitar.

Teorien om ingenting handler om alt det, der ikke er noget - i hvert tilfælde ikke noget, vi rigtigt forstår. Universet er stort, og i forhold til pladsen er der forsvindende lidt i det store vakuum. Det synlige stof, vi kender og selv er lavet af, er små bølger i kvantefelter og fylder kun omkring fem procent af universets hele, mens det mørke stof og den mørke energi fylder resten. Oven i købet tyder alle observationer på, at universet udvider sig, så det synlige materiale kommer til at fylde mindre og mindre i forhold til ‘ingenting’, som der på sin vis bliver mere og mere af.

It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they’re not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harboring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un. Yikes! Soon Allan and Julius are at the center of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump.

Några småpojkar som är ute och leker i skogen hittar en död kvinna. Kvinnan har blivit strypt, hennes kläder är sönderrivna och allting tyder på att det är ett sexmord. Den enda ledtråden efter mördaren tycks vara den röda Golf som setts lämna området strax efter mordet. Kvinnans mobiltelefon saknas, och kommissarie Johan Axberg och hans kollegor vid Sundsvallspolisen har inte mycket att gå efter när de tar upp jakten på mördaren. Samtidigt har Axbergs bäste vän läkaren Erik Jensen fått personliga problem.

Överläkaren Erik Jensen försvinner obegripligt i kulverten under en nattjour på Sundsvalls sjukhus. Kommissarie Johan Axberg kopplar snabbt ihop fallet med psykiatrikern Thomas Hoffman, som försvann spårlöst på samma plats tre dygn tidigare. När Hoffman senare hittas brutalt mördad i ett skogsparti tyder allt på att han har hållits fången i ett par dygn för att sedan bli ihjälslagen. I både Hoffmans och Jensens fall har gärningsmannen lämnat efter sig en dominobricka.

Oft werden wir im Alltagsstress von unseren Gefühlen übermannt und wissen nicht, wie wir mit unseren Ängsten umgehen oder unsere innere Stärke wiederfinden können. Hier kann die stoische Philosophie eine große Hilfe sein. Schon in der Antike war sie eine der erfolgreichsten lebensphilosophischen Schulen. Um 300 vor Christus von Zenon von Kition gegründet und von großen Denkern wie Seneca, Mark Aurel und Epiktet vertreten, ist sie bis heute unschlagbar in ihrer stringenten Art, Gelassenheit und Gleichmut gegenüber den Untiefen des Lebens zu vermitteln.

The Earth is dying. For centuries, the continents have been sinking into the oceans. What is left of them has turned into a burning desert. In the 24th century, the last humans live in tightly-packed domes. Outside, agonizing heat death awaits. But, there is a glimmer of hope: Lumera. The humans have founded a colony in another solar system and made a fragile peace with the Kidj'Dan, an alien race living there.

A couple of jerks wake me up at the crack of noon. Seems my klepto uncle stole an ancient deck of Tarot cards from a high-powered wizard, and too many losers want to ruin my day to get them back. The cards are cool, so I check them out, but my magic-happy cousin, Sabrina, tells me I'm not supposed to touch them. Oops. Too late. Now the damn cards are tuned to me, and if someone else wants to use them, I have to die. Why couldn't she have led with that information?

Escaping through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several deaths, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent but very human police.

Math and science require a heightened state of concentration. It needs rational, sequential, and analytical ways to solve issues. The prefrontal cortex of your brain, which sits just below your brow, is thought to be involved in concentration when you're in focused mode. Mathematical ideas are often more abstractly encoded than those of common language, and it is possible that humans have not developed through millennia to manage them. Because of their abstraction and encryption, it's possible to think about math and science, but it takes more time and effort to do so.

The thoughtful and revealing memoir from one of the world's most recognisable women, renowned for her bold risk-taking, multiculturalism and activism. I am a product of traditional India and its ancient wisdom, and modern India and its urban bustle. My upbringing was always an amalgamation of the two Indias, and, just as much, of East and West.

On June 14, 2007, the king and the prime minister of Sweden went missing from a gala banquet at the royal castle. Later it was said that both had fallen ill, but the truth is different. The real story starts much earlier, in 1961, with the birth of Nombeko Mayeki in a shack in Soweto. Nombeko was fated to grow up fast and die early in her poverty-stricken township, be it from drugs, alcohol, or just plain despair. But Nombeko takes a different path.
