Olisitko valmis mihin vain ollaksesi rakastettu? Klassikkoromaanin modernisointi tuo intohimoisen tarinan someaikaan.17-vuotias Célène on oppinut uskomaan aitoon rakkauteen kihlattunsa Pierren kanssa. Muuttaessaan Biarritziin Célène kuitenkin kohtaa maailman, jossa pinta on aitoutta tärkeämpää: ihmisen aseman voi mitata seuraajamäärän perusteella. Lukion kuninkaallisia ovat surffimestari Tristan ja ex-lapsitähti Vanessa. He eivät ole oikea pari, vaan esittävät rakastavaisia kiillottaakseen imagoaan. Julman vedon seurauksena Tristan päätyy viettelemään Célènen. Heidän välilleen syttyy kuitenkin kipinä, jota ei voi kieltää. Romaanin tarinasta on tehty samanniminen Netflix-elokuva.

Military Resilience in a Low-Intensity Conflict: A Comparative Study of New Directions Worldwide, by Rachel Suissa, offers a prognosis for the dilemma of army resilience in the post-modern era. She clarifies the concept of military resilience among the challenges of the twenty-first century, examining how the military model affects resilience, and how those effects are expressed during the management of a given conflict. She investigates the issue through a comparative study of armies and states which have been involved or are currently involved in low intensity conflicts—the countries discussed include France and Algeria, Great Britain and Ireland, Russia and Chechnya, and Israel and the Palestinian authority. Another challenge that Suissa addresses is that of peace coalitions and their organizational resilience. She further discusses the connection between political and military ranks, and under which conditions the former affects the latter. Military Resilience in a Low-Intensity Conflict makes the issues associated with resilience and conflict accessible to both academics and those who might translate its findings into practicable insights.
