Harvest Outdoor Handbook

This book is about enjoying the outdoors with children and all the enjoyable, exciting and educational activities you can find there. It comes to us from the editors who publish the magazine Harvest on the internet: Torbjørn Ekelund, Simen Tveitereid, Kjetil Østli and Anders Aakre. Like many others, they have learned by experience that it is often better to be outdoors than in. All age-groups find that crossing the threshold is the longest mile, but once the bags are packed and the troops assembled and the whole family is trotting into the woods, along the shore or up into the mountains, a type of calm settles. Everybody suddenly feels content to be there, and it seems that the children have long forgotten that just a short time ago they were insisting on staying indoors. The aim of this book is to inspire families with small children to go out more – or at least give it a try.

I should have said I love you.

A Road Back from Schizophrenia

Arnhild Lauveng

Arnhild Lauveng spent ten years in secure wards suffering from schizophrenia. She was deeply psychotic, self-destructive and broke glasses and plates to cut herself with the shards. In this book, the author takes the reader into a world of voices and hallucinations, where she is chased by hordes of rats and packs of wolves with yellow eyes and slavering jaws snap at her heels. We learn to understand that these illusions have their own logic and how they can be interpreted – and the author's interpretations are like solutions to small crime mysteries. This is the powerful story of her journey back to reality, assisted by a mother who refused to give up hope, a victory that only a handful believe is possible and that sadly is seldom achieved. Reviews: A Road Back from Schizophrenia is a unique book. About hope and identity [...] the fact that she also brings both humor and irony unto the book is all the more reason to recommend this book.'KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD, Denmark 'If it was up to me, A Road Back from Schizophrenia would be read and discussed in all psychiatric hospitals and institutions in this country. There is much to be gained, no matter what one does for a living.' POLITIKEN, Denmark
