Against All Odds – Historiske kvinder og nye algoritmer udforsker 24 nordiske kunstneres liv og værker omkring år 1900 gennem banebrydende kombinationer af historisk genindskrivning og ny teknologi. Kvinderne trodsede tidens kønsnormer, dannede egne fællesskaber på tværs af Europa og fik succes mod alle odds. Senere blev flere skrevet ud af kunsthistorien, men hvorfor? Kan man skrive kvinderne ind i den fortælling, der skrev dem ud, uden at ændre den? Læs, hvordan teknologi, kritisk tænkning og kunst forenes i en hyldest til fortidens pionerer. Med tværæstetiske greb, immersive installationer og AI-genererede dialoger udfordrer udstilling og katalog vores forståelse af fortiden og åbner nye perspektiver på kunsthistorien.

Against All Odds – Historical Women and New Algorithms explores the lives and works of 24 Nordic artists around 1900 through pioneering combinations of historical reinscribing and new technology. These women defied the gender norms of their time, formed their own communities across Europe and succeeded against all odds. Later, several were written out of art history. Why? Is it possible to write these women into the narrative that excluded them without changing the story? Discover how technology, critical thinking and art merge in a tribute to pioneers of the past. Through cross-aesthetic approaches, immersive installations and AI-generated dialogues, the exhibition and catalogue challenge our understanding of the past and open new perspectives on art history.

Erminia, a talented chef climbing the celebrity ladder, opens her first restaurant in a Kent market town. Foraging for 'Wild Food' plays a big part in her recipe creations and leads her to an amazing culinary discovery. But, pride and ambition cloud her judgement and Erminia's life starts to spiral downwards after she is professionally and personally humiliated. It is not long before she begins to question the loyalties of her partner Angela, and her kitchen brigade - even her faithful canine companion Bianco is missing. She falls into a state of delirium, much of which is alcohol-induced. Help of sorts finally arrives, but recovery is far from assured. It's a painful journey for Erminia's suffering mind as she attempts to come to terms with the failure of everything she has thought to be true, or considered to be of value. From the food and travel writer, Michael Connor, author of the much acclaimed The Soho Don, May All Your Names Be Forgotten and The Cleansing, comes this powerful portrayal of egos, betrayal, torment, resilience & resolution.

Adopted at Cambridge University Essential Medical Genetics provides students, clinicians, counsellors and scientists with the up-to-date information they need regarding the basic principles underlying medical genetics. It also provides guidance on how to apply current knowledge in clinical contexts, covering a wide variety of topics: from genome structure and function to mutations, screening and risk assessment for inherited disorders. This sixth edition has been substantially updated to include, for instance, the latest information on the Human Genome Project as well as several new molecular genetic and chromosome analysis techniques. In full colour throughout, it includes a number of brand new features, including: a large number of self-assessment questions; 'Essentials' chapter summaries; further reading suggestions; and case study scenarios introducing clinical situations. An invaluable new section gives illustrated practical advice regarding how to choose the best available online genetic databases and also, importantly, how to most easily and most efficiently use them, for a wide range of purposes. Essential Medical Genetics is the perfect resource for a course on medical genetics, and is now accompanied by a regularly updated website and the FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition (upon purchase of the book). The companion website at www.wiley.com/go/tobias features figures from the book in PowerPoint format and a link to the authors' website with regularly updated links to genetic databases and additional self-test questions.
