<p>Soon, <i>Cities of Power: The Urban, the National, the Popular, and the Global</i> by Göran Therborn will be on the market. In between <i>Science, Class and Society</i> (1976) and <i>The Killing Fields of Inequality</i> (2013, Swedish translation: <i>Ojämlikhet dödar</i>, 2016) Göran has consistently challenged received wisdom in politics and the social sciences. His <i>Between Sex and Power</i> (2004) is the current global map of family relations and gender equality. With the 1968 article "From Petrograd to Saigon" he laid the foundation for his worldwide reputation as an innovative public intellectual. His critique of the Frankfurt School had repercussions around Europe. Today his work is spread across six continents, Latin America in particular, and has been translated into more than twenty languages.</p> <p>This book is a critical appraisal of the themes Göran Therborn has pursued up till now, and is introduced by Robin Blackburn, for almost twenty years his editor at <i>New Left Review</i>.</p> <p>"Göran's continual alertness to different paths to or through modernity, and to varieties of capitalism, will very soon be tested in a dramatic way."<br/>- Ian Gough, London School of Economics</p> <p>"This is a very important project and Göran richly deserves it."<br/>- Michael Burawoy, UC Berkeley</p> <p>CONTENTS:<br/>INTRODUCTIONS<br/>Robin Blackburn, Göran Therborn and the Old Mole<br/>Sven Hort & Gunnar Olofsson, A Portrait of the Sociologist as a Young Rebel<br/>SECTION I.

Hello. My book is about values and numbers I have a passion for both. It is very difficult to start a successful business without a firm values-based foundation and it is almost impossible to run a successful business unless everyone understands the numbers. Approximately Right shows you how to do this whether youre a start-up or an established company; whether youre 22 or 75. "This book isn´t Approximately Right. It is Absolutely Right". Carl-Henric Svanberg, Ordförande för BP och Volvo, tidigare VD för Ericsson och Assa Abloy "De enkla lösningarna är oftast de bästa. Approximately Right visar hur de kan genomföras på ett handgripligt sätt." Thomas Berglund, VD för Capio och tidigare VD för Securitas "Det här är en managementbok som jag skulle ha behövt läsa när jag var 20 år gammal." Lars Mattsson, Seniorrådgivare på Solberg och tidigare ekonomiskribent

Demographic change is a defining issue of our time. As the worldwide population ages, the healthcare systems of every country will meet challenges of scale in providing for their elderly. <em>Aging with Dignity: Innovation and Challenge in Sweden: The Voice of Elder Care Professionals </em>is a study in the future of elder care through the lens of the Swedish healthcare system.<br/><br/>Over the past year, ACCESS Health has conducted extensive interviews with more than thirty elder care professionals in Sweden. <em>Aging with Dignity </em>collects these in depth interviews alongside summary chapters and analysis.<br/><br/>If a small, wealthy nation like Sweden, with well developed healthcare and social welfare systems, encounters difficulties adapting to demographic change, so too will other nations. By examining Sweden s healthcare coordination, homecare technology, dementia care, and eHealthcare initiatives, <em>Aging with Dignity</em> makes the case for best practices. It is our hope that readers will recognize as universal both the challenges and the innovative solutions presented here.
