Soil to Foil
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also ubiquitous in the modern world, from aircraft to soda cans. A dizzying number of consumer and industrial products employ aluminum, typically alloyed, because of its availability, versatility, and malleability. Today, how efficiently we use—and reuse—aluminum is vital to addressing key environmental challenges and understanding humanity’s fraught relationship with the earth. Soil to Foil tells the extraordinary story of aluminum. Saleem H. Ali reveals its pivotal role in the histories of scientific inquiry and technological innovation as well as its importance to sustainability. He offers compelling portraits of the scientists and innovators who discovered new uses for this remarkable element, ranging from chemistry and geoscience to engineering and industrial design. Ali argues that aluminum exemplifies broader lessons about stewardship of nonrenewable resources: its seeming abundance has given rise to wasteful and

Ska Vi Dansa? - Ska Vi Dansa?
I mitt hemland har vi ett kulturarv som få vill prata om, ett fenomen som heter Bacha Bazi. Fenomenet går ut på att vuxna män rekryterar unga pojkar till något som kan liknas med dansande prostitution. Få vet vad det egentligen innebär, men jag vet tyvärr det. Att bli rekryterad är enligt mig inte ett sätt att överleva på utan mer en strategi för att dö lite långsammare. Min bok är ett försök till att rikta den missriktade skammen och rätt håll ,för som det är nu är skammen riktad mot de arma pojkar som inte hade något val.
Jag Står Inte Ut Men Jag Slutar Aldrig Kämpa! - Jag Står Inte Ut Men Jag Sl
Det är om natten som ångesten kryper ut ur min kropp och tar stryptag om min hals. Andningen blir tung och ångesten trycks ner i bröstet som ett ankare sjunker ner till havets botten. Det är när nattskräcken kommer lika pålitligt som vinterkylan i Jokkmokk som min hjärna ofrivilligt spelar upp minnen som får mig att sakta självdö. Minnen om övergrepp och död. Det finns bara en sak som får mig att fortsätta kämpa när min hjärna och kropp bara vill ge upp. Det är min längtan efter att få vara värd livet. Det är samma stjärnhimmel i Sverige som i Pakistan så varför gör vi skillnad på människor bara för att de är födda på olika geografiska platser? Jag heter Muhammad och jag är också värd livet!
