Описание: Large projects financed by the EU are always evaluated. But are these evaluations looking for long-term effects? It is no simple task to capture effects of programmes and projects. One reason is that these effects may be of many different kinds -- unexpected, non-intended, surprising, hidden and sometimes outside the goal area. Capturing these types of effects has proved to be very important in assessing the value of the programmes. This book describes the results of a number of analyses of development work in large projects and programmes -- in organisations, at the regional level, in national programmes etc. Conclusions are drawn from theoretical analyses, as well as from an extensive and broad range of empirical studies. The book is intended for those working with development, both in the private and public sectors, but also managers, evaluators and researchers. It can be used in education programmes of different kinds -- in a number of areas of higher education and in training of project workers and project owners.

Commanders is a collection of biographies about American generals. It takes a look at American history from the Civil War to the Gulf War by telling the stories of the generals commanding the wars - from Lee to Schwarzkopf.
Written as popular history, each general is individually described. Author Lennart Svensson does everything from telling anecdotes, reflecting on culture, war and history, to musing over operational details, meticulously narrating each general's story. Commanders provides "good stories, well told" in the genre of the historical essay. At the end of the book there is also a chapter examining topics such as the mirroring of American wars in literature and film.

Описание:
Ernst J nger - A Portrait is a book about Ernst J nger (1895-1998), Germany's greatest author since Goethe. This is a popular J nger biography for the English speaking world, a personal portrait painted by an avid J nger reader. The book starts out with a thorough biography of J nger's life. Then the author examines the controversial aspects of the man, and discusses J nger's role as an outsider, mentioning the reception of his works in the modern post-war era.
After examining J nger's books on war, the author proceeds to describe J nger's other literary works such as The Adventurous Heart, On the Marble Cliffs, Heliopolis, and Eumeswil. Moreover, there are chapters on J nger's perception of art, history, and philosophy. There are also sections on J nger as a Science Fiction author, and comparisons between J nger and other authors, both dead and living.
In the introduction to Ernst J nger - A Portrait the author states that:
"My aim in this study has been to look at what J nger represents rather than at what he is, in this respect striving to highlight the fruitful aspects of his work, the neglected sides such as the esotericism and the idealism, the vitalism and the life-affirming traits. At the same time I don't deny that J nger in the 20s was a radical nationalist dealing with fire; I have chapters covering that too. Wishing to write a book that's simple and hands-on I sport "simple but not facile" as my ideal."
About the Author: Born in the north of Sweden in 1965, Lennart Svensson took a BA in Indology in Uppsala 1998. While working as a freelance writer he published the novels Antropolis and Camouflage. Ernst J nger - A Portrait is his debut in English.

Описание:
Borderline: A Traditionalist Outlook for Modern Man is an ambitious attempt to create a synthesis of everything. Borderline aims to unite Man with God, Action with Being, East with West, and Mind with Matter. Borderline successfully fuses ethics with ontology, the detail with the whole, body with soul, and reason with intuition.
It is the integration of the traditional with the modern, the active with the inactive, and the spirit with the symbol. In Borderline author Lennart Svensson shapes the Traditionalist and Perennial world-view into a form which is suitable for contemporary living, fusing together the cultural spheres of art/religion and science, into a holistic and spiritual philosophy. Borderline tries to rectify the rift between the famed "two cultures" of C. P. Snow which have constructed a false dichotomy between the technological-scientific and the humanistic-philosophical fields of research. Borderline also contains chapters on Plotinus and symbolism, a criticism of scientific reductionism, and a look into "the metaphysics of physics." The book also features essays on the integral world-view of Jung and Nietzsche, along with Rudolf Steiner's Christology and notes on "an ethics based on ontology." The study also presents some conceptual aspects of artists like T. S. Eliot, Caspar David Friedrich, and Edith SOdergran - the Finnish-Swedish poet who was "more Nietzschean than Nietzsche himself."

Описание:
Following his English language literary debut Ernst J nger - A Portrait, author Lennart Svensson concentrates his focus on another controversial character, Richard Wagner. In Richard Wagner - A Portrait Svensson offers a well-rounded biography of Richard Wagner's life and work. As a long-term admirer of Wagner's music, Svensson is also unafraid to look at the controversial aspects of the composer's life - including his relations with Friedrich Nietzsche and the influence his music would come to have in German Nationalist circles and in the work of the Italian poet d'Annunzio.
In addition to relating the personal history of Wagner in the biography, Svensson also examines the compositions themselves, such as:
The Fairies
Rienzi
The Flying Dutchman
Tannhauser
Lohengrin
Wieland the Smith
Tristan and Isolde
The Master-Singers of Nuremberg
The Ring of the Nibelung
Parsifal
Svennson's new biography on Wagner also provides an in-depth analysis of the themes that Wagner chose to work with in his compositions; forbidden love, Teutonic mythology, the Grail saga, and tragedy.
Lennart Svensson holds a BA in Indology and his previous works include Antropolis and Camouflage. Ernst J nger - A Portrait was his debut in English.
