Bronze Age Rock Art in Iberia and Scandinavia
Words, Warriors, and Long-distance Metal TradeRecent research has uncovered new evidence of long-distance interactions between Scandinavia and Iberia during the Late Bronze Age. Advances in various lines of inquiry, such as 3D recording of rock art, iconography, metals and amber sourcing, linguistics, and, to some extent, more indirect indications from human remains, as reflected by strontium and aDNA results, have made this possible. The main goal of this book is to cross reference Iberian Late Bronze Age warrior iconography with Scandinavian warrior iconography. However, we will also account for links based on archeometallurgical evidence, linguistics, and other lines of inquiry, such as Baltic Amber, and metal artifacts. The results have been produced within the framework of the RAW project, an international undertaking funded by the Swedish Research Council. The RAW project is motivated by the discovery of isotopic and chemical evidence for Nordic Bronze Age artifacts made of copper that originated in the Iberian Peninsula. These findings led to re-opening two long known, but poorly explained, phenomena: 1) numerous shared motifs and close formal parallels in the rock art of Scandinavia and Iberian ‘warrior’ stelae, and 2) a large body of inherited words shared by the Celtic and Germanic languages, but not the other Indo-European branches. An integrated explanation for the three phenomena (Iberian metal in Scandinavia, parallels in Bronze Age rock carvings, and Celto-Germanic vocabulary) could now be formulated as a testable hypothesis: an episode in the Bronze Age when materials and ideas were exchanged over long distances between Scandinavia and the Atlantic West, including the Iberian Peninsula.

New York Ghost
Candace Chen arbeitet für einen Verlagsdienstleister am Times Square, zuständig für die Herstellung von Themenbibeln in Asien. So hingebungsvoll folgt sie ihren täglichen Routinen, dass sie erst gar nicht bemerkt, wie tödliche Pilzsporen über New York hereinbrechen, importiert mit billigen Konsumgütern. Während das Fieber rasant um sich greift, bleibt Candace stoisch auf ihrem Posten. Anfragen wollen geschrieben, Deadlines eingehalten, Arbeitszeiten erfasst werden. Geködert von einem Bonus ihres Arbeitgebers, ist sie bald die letzte in ihrem Büro - und schließlich in ganz New York. Die beißende Satire auf den modernen Kapitalismus entwirft ein unheimlich vertrautes Schreckensszenario und fragt erbarmungslos, was uns wirklich wichtig ist.

Leveraging Complexity in Great-Power Competition and Warfare
The authors seek to provide an initial examination of how complex adaptive systems thinking can frame opportunities and challenges of complexity in warfare. They examine how complex adaptive systems thinking can be applied to great-power competition and warfare to aid in understanding how complexity might be exploited to U.S. advantage.
