Kim Jong Un and the Bomb
In 2017, North Korea shocked the world: test-flying a missile capable of reaching the US, exploding the most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in a quarter-century, and declaring its nuclear deterrent complete. Today, Kim Jong Un's growing n...

The New Nuclear Age
The world is entering a new nuclear age. Nuclear weapons are returning to the fore of international statecraft in ways unseen since the Cold War. With major powers like Russia issuing threats of nuclear strikes, China and North Korea continuing to grow their arsenals, and new prospects for proliferation from the Middle East to East Asia, the world has been thrust into a new era of heightened nuclear risk. In this incisive book, international security expert Ankit Panda explores the enduring and emerging factors that are contributing to this new nuclear age. From strained great power ties to complex multipolar dynamics and the precipitous decline of arms control, he shows how our coexistence with the bomb is becoming more complicated and perilous. The prospect of nuclear escalation is again shaping how political decision-makers and military establishments around the world think and act. But unlike the peril of the Cold War, a greater number of nuclear players and a plethora of new

The Hidden Light of Objects
A young girl, renamed Amerika in honour of the US role in the liberation of Kuwait, finds her name has become a barometer of her country’s growing hostility towards the West. A self-conscious Palestinian teenager is drawn into a botched suicide bombing by two belligerent classmates. A middle-aged man dying from cancer looks back on his extramarital affairs and the abiding forgiveness of his wife. A Kuwaiti woman returns to her family after being held captive in Iraq for a decade. The headlines tell of war, unrest and religious clashes. But if you look beyond them you will see life in the Middle East as it is really lived – adolescent love, the fragility of marriage, pain of the most quotidian kind. Mai Al-Nakib’s luminous stories unveil the lives of ordinary people – and the power of objects to hold extraordinary memories.

The untold stories of mountaineering achievements and tragedies - an oral history of the Sherpas.
Unlasting Home
Sara is a philosophy professor at Kuwait University. Her relationship with Kuwait is complicated; it is a country she recognises less and less. Yet since her return from the States eleven years earlier, a certain inertia has kept her there. When she is accused of blasphemy, which carries with it the threat of execution, Sara realises she must reconcile her feelings and her place in the world once and for all. Awaiting trial, Sara retraces the past, intent on examining the lives of the women who made her. She conjures forth her grandmothers - beautiful and stubborn Yasmine, who marries the son of the Pasha of Basra and lives to regret it, and Lulwa, born poor in Kuwait and later swept off to India by her wealthy merchant husband. An Unlasting Home brings to life the triumphs and failures of three generations of Arab women. At once intimate and sweeping, personal and political, it is an unforgettable family portrait and a spellbinding epic tale.

Maktens Signaler- Från Plym Till Naket Huvud
Makthavare talar till oss med sina ord och sina handlingar. Men också med andra signaler som hur de klär sig, uppträder, friserar sig. Och de kan ändra stil. Hur ska vi tolka en president utan slips, en partiledare med märkesväska eller den strängt formelle premiärministern i ett skuldsatt land? Denna essälika bok inleds med ett resonerande avsnitt kring makt och mode. Den tar sitt avstamp lite längre tillbaka i tiden och går sedan vidare till 1800-talet, kostymen, parlamentarismen och demokratin. Förhållandet mellan makthavare och dem som ger dem makt och samtidigt underkastar sig maktens beslut belyses. Fortsättningsvis plockar boken upp udda trådar på varierande teman - slipsen, väskan, badbyxorna och håret för att nämna några. Men även andra fenomen så som queer, följa modet och bilda mode, högtid och vardaglighet tas upp. Boken handlar inte om enstaka personer, men en och annan politiker får träda fram som tidstypiska exempel. En granskande och iakttagande bok som stilmässigt guidar oss igenom historien och visar vad vi har att vänta framöver. Barbro Hedvall är journalist. Hon var verksam som ledarskribent på Dagens Nyheter mellan 1999 och 2009, och var dessförinnan ledarskribent på Expressen. Illustrerad.
