When We Had Forever
'Captivating and emotionally charged with a storyline you won't see coming. All the stars in the sky.' --MIA SHERIDAN, New York Times bestselling author An emotionally powerful roller coaster of a novel about losing and finding love, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score. Six months after her husband died in a car crash, Mina Drake is still mired in a haze of grief. Reminders of her years with Michael are everywhere, but beneath her heartache lies an even more painful emotion. It's a guilty suspicion she can hardly admit to anyone, even herself--that her marriage was over long before Michael's accident. They were good together once, she's sure of it, sharing a connection so deep that Mina can't understand how it unraveled. That is, until a chance discovery in her husband's office--and the reappearance of Michael's estranged brother, Grayson, a notorious bad-boy photographer--awakens her to possible answers. More shocking still is the pull Mina feels to tattooed, scarred

Om Ickevåld - Tal, Artiklar Och Brev Från Åren 1906-1948
I centrum för Mahatma Gandhis tankar och politiska agerande låg ickevåldet, hans utveckling av den indiska tanken om ahimsa, både som religiöstmoraliskt begrepp och i dess praktiska, politiska tillämpningar. I den här volymen har några av Gandhis viktigaste texter om ickevåldsläran samlats. Urvalet visar två sidor hos Gandhi. Dels den starkt religiösa människan med specifika etiska krav, en moralfilosof, dels den hårdföra realpolitikern som förstod att agera effektivt i svåra lägen, och en föregångsman i den indiska självständighetskampen. Denna enhet mellan liv och lära är kanske det mest karakteristiska hos Gandhi och något som fortsätter inspirera människor världen över. Ickevåldsläran är inte nationellt begränsad, utan siktar till frigörelse och frihet på ett universellt mänskligt och internationellt plan. Med en inledning av Zac O Yeah, författare till Gandhi-biografin Mahatma!, samt med ett efterord av Stellan Vinthagen, doktor i freds- och utvecklingsforskning.
