Revolutionary Desires
Sex on screen is unnecessary, gratuitous, and serves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less and less sexy. Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our minds and bodies to the possibility of new futures, and seduce us towards an expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded, Lingua Franca and beyond, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form’s intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it. Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire for something more?

Kriminalpolitik - Brott & Straff I Sverige Sedan 1965
I Kriminalpolitik. Brott och straff i Sverige sedan 1965 presenteras kriminalpolitikens förändring i förhållande till brottslighetens utveckling. Även om gängrelaterade skjutningar dominerar debatten sedan mitten av 2010-talet, har i ett lite längre perspektiv brottsökningen planat ut, våldsbrotten inte ökat och ungas brottslighet minskat.Kriminalpolitiken har under samma tid påtagligt ändrat karaktär. Den utmärks alltmer av politisering, skärpta straff och en känslomässig snarare än en rationell hållning. Strafflagstiftningens expansion har varit historiskt exceptionell med tre brottstyper i fokus: narkotika, våld och organiserad brottslighet.I denna andra upplaga har utvecklingen uppdaterats vad gäller såväl tabeller och diagram som den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen. Boken har reviderats avsevärt. Analysen lägger nu särskild vikt vid högerpopulismens framträdande och vid välfärdsstatens logik för att förstå utvecklingen mot kraven på alltmer straff, polis och fängelse.Boken riktar sig främst till högskolan. Den är dock också av stort värde för alla som vill sätta sig in i en fråga som kommit att bli en av de mest centrala i samhällsdebatten.

A First Introduction to Quantum Physics
In this undergraduate textbook, now in its 2nd edition, the author develops the quantum theory from first principles based on very simple experiments: a photon traveling through beam splitters to detectors, an electron moving through magnetic fields, and an atom emitting radiation. From the physical description of these experiments follows a natural mathematical description in terms of matrices and complex numbers. The first part of the book examines how experimental facts force us to let go of some deeply held preconceptions and develops this idea into a description of states, probabilities, observables, and time evolution. The quantum mechanical principles are illustrated using applications such as gravitational wave detection, magnetic resonance imaging, atomic clocks, scanning tunneling microscopy, and many more. The first part concludes with an overview of the complete quantum theory. The second part of the book covers more advanced topics, including the concept ofentanglement,
