Romantik: fantasy og overnaturligt

Naturens lys er en moderne klassiker i dansk faglitteratur. Bogen er både en kritisk gennemgang af den naturforståelse, der dominerede det 20. århundrede og samtidig en afdækning eller genopdagelse af en række forestillinger om natur, der er blevet afvist eller undertrykt op gennem historien. Det viser sig, at denne understrøm af forskellige natursyn og videnstraditioner er en del af filosofiens og videnskabernes historie og en stadig kilde til fornyelse og inspiration. Naturens lys er en fascinerende fortælling om en levende natur og mennesket som indfoldet heri med både krop og sjæl og ånd. Gennem bogens kapitler kommer den fortrængte historie til orde som en fortløbende fortælling, der lodder dybere og dybere og samtidig taler direkte ind i vores egen tid. Aksel Haaning (f. 1959) er uddannet som mag. art. i middelalderens latin fra Københavns Universitet, ph.d. i Science Studies fra Roskilde Universitet, hvor han er lektor i Filosofi- og videnskabs- historie. Naturens lys. Filosofi og kosmologi i middelalder og renæssance 1250-1650 er en medrivende fortælling om glemte verdensbilleder og fortrængte vidensformer, hvad man i digtning og filosofi, i videnskab og religion, kaldte verdenssjælen (anima mundi), kvintessensen, livets rod eller jordens ånd (spiritus mundi) og naturens lys (lumen naturae). Værket viser, at disse traditioner bestræber sig på at forklare og formulere en forbindelse mellem menneske og natur, mellem legeme og sjæl, og beskriver samtidig, hvordan alting er forbundet i et større hele; tankeformer, der gennem senere århundreder kom til at stå i skyggen af fortællingen om menneskets herredømme og naturen som råstof eller materiel ressource.

A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis. Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . . Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was . . . Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory . . . alone with the wolf.
