Winner of the British Fantasy Award! Nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award! Find out if five Dereks are better than one in Nino Cipri's Defekt, the sequel to Finna, the surrealist world-hopping adventure. Derek is LitenVärld's most loyal employee. He lives and breathes the job, from the moment he wakes up in a converted shipping container at the edge of the parking lot to the second he clocks out of work 18 hours later. But after taking his first ever sick day, his manager calls that loyalty into question. An excellent employee like Derek, an employee made to work at LitenVärld, shouldn't need time off. To test his commitment to the job, Derek is assigned to a special inventory shift, hunting through the store to find defective products. Toy chests with pincers and eye stalks, ambulatory sleeper sofas, killer mutant toilets, that kind of thing. Helping him is the inventory team — four strangers who look and sound almost exactly like him. Are five Dereks better than one?

Wooden buildings housed the majority of Swedish urban populations during the early modern era, but many of these buildings have disappeared as the result of fire, demolition, and modernisation. This book reveals the fundamental role played by the wooden house in the formation of urban Sweden and Swedish history.

“A magical anti-capitalist adventure.” —Annalee Newitz Nino Cipri's Finna is a rambunctious, touching story that blends all the horrors the multiverse has to offer with the everyday awfulness of low-wage work. It explores queer relationships and queer feelings, capitalism and accountability, labor and love, all with a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange. When an elderly customer at a Swedish big box furniture store — but not that one — slips through a portal to another dimension, it’s up to two minimum-wage employees to track her across the multiverse and protect their company’s bottom line. Multi-dimensional swashbuckling would be hard enough, but those two unfortunate souls broke up a week ago. To find the missing granny, Ava and Jules will brave carnivorous furniture, swarms of identical furniture spokespeople, and the deep resentment simmering between them. Can friendship blossom from the ashes of their relationship? In infinite dimensions, all things are possible.

The FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN BIOOHE1IUCAL SOCIETIES, which came into being just over three years ago, will have a profound impact on the development of biochemistry in Europe and in the rest of the world. For this reason, the Council of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY has viewed the growth of the Federation with considerable satis faction. Closer cooperation among European biochemists was set in motion through the initiative of the BIOOHEMICAL SOCIETY several years ago to hold an annual joint meeting with some of its sister societies on the Continent. With considerable foresight the BIOCHEM ICAL SOCIETY eventually proposed the setting up of a federation of biochemical societies in Europe, a proposal that was warmly endorsed by representatives of several Continental societies. The first meeting of the Federation was held in London in the Spring of 1964. I had the privilege to attend the second (Vienna) and third (Warsaw) annual meetings and was much impressed by the rapidly growing attendance and by the quality of the scientific sessions. Upon kind invitation as president of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY I also had the privilege to attend the Federation Council meetings and to participate in the discussions that led to the decision to found a EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF BIOOHEMISTRY, a move that I enthusiastically supported and encouraged on behalf of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY.
