Alone Together

Tormod Huseby

In an era where we have never been more connected, yet so distanced from one another, psychiatrist Tormod Huseby explores in this insightful book why so many struggle with intimacy, belonging, and genuine connection today. Statistics show that loneliness is a major health risk, affecting seven out of ten students and nearly two million adults. Writing with warmth and wisdom, Huseby explores the many forms this difficult emotion can take: lonely in a crowd, loneliness in transitions, existential loneliness, loneliness in togetherness, or the feeling of standing alone in a competitive, materialistic society. This book is for anyone who wants to understand loneliness, overcome the shame of feeling isolated, and better understand our modern society. Drawing on his many years as a therapist, Huseby shows how feeling lonely actually connects us to the world’s largest community. Through fresh perspectives, he guides us toward building stronger relationships and finding our way back to what we long for most: to belong.

A Brief Introduction to the Gulf States

Jon Nordenson

The Gulf States – namely Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman – have become highly visible in the media in recent years, but also controversial actors internationally. Saudi Arabia and the UAE's warfare in Yemen, the persecution of dissidents, the treatment of migrant workers, and mega-events like the FIFA World Cup are just some of the things that have sparked strong reactions and emotional debates globally. A Brief Introduction to the Gulf States provides a comprehensive account of the history that has led to this point, painting a multifaceted picture of the Gulf States as they appear today. The author explains why and how these countries have gained an increasingly important role in world politics, and what challenges they face, both regionally and internationally. Among other things, the Gulf States are some of the world's largest oil and gas producers, and they must find solutions to climate change and water scarcity, as well as the energy transition that this production forces upon them. At the same time, the countries must contend with both religious and political divisions that threaten their stability.

No Further Than This

Malin Kulseth

Through qualitative interviews with patients, gender researchers, sexologists and activists, Kulseth seeks a nuanced perspective on the gender debate, and explains how historical, religious and political forces shape the discourse. She also asks herself why the public's In No Further Than This, journalist Malin Kulseth explores the intense and polarising debate around transgender rights in Norway and thw world, revealing how this struggle has become a central front in a broader culture war with far-reaching consequences. The book opens with J.K. Rowling and her now-infamous 2019 tweet in support of gender-critical activist Maya Forstater, an act that ignited a storm of backlash and distanced Rowling from much of her fanbase. It soon became clear that, in her feminist view, Rowling saw parts of the trans rights movement as a threat to her own fight for women’s rights. But how did we reach this point? Kulseth also examines the disqualification of boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting from the Paris Olympics, showing how speculation and harassment around gender identity are misused to create fear and division. The book further explores the heated debate surrounding gender-affirming care for children and adolescents and how calls for “more research” are often used to justify restrictions on treatment access. Through in-depth interviews with patients, gender researchers, sexologists, and activists, Kulseth offers a nuanced and balanced perspective on the gender debate. She unpacks the historical, religious, and political forces shaping public discourse and asks why public perception of transgender identities has become so fear-driven. Most importantly, she shows how this toxic rhetoric undermines the sense of safety that all of us rely on in an open, democratic society.

Child Stars

Gudmund Skjeldal

What does the history of sport look like if we start with the children? And what happens to the story of childhood when we enter it through the arena of sport? In Child Stars, acclaimed writer and historian Gudmund Skjeldal uncovers a forgotten part of Norwegian history. The one where children balanced, performed and competed in the cities of the nineteenth century, long before organised youth sports existed. Through vivid storytelling and careful scholarship, he explores how play has never been just innocent fun, and how the modern idea of childhood was shaped by work, discipline and the desire to be useful. Combining the precision of a historian with the reflection of an essayist, Skjeldal asks: do children really benefit from being organised ever earlier? And what happens to play when it becomes performance? Engaging, thought-provoking and beautifully written, Child Stars sheds new light on how childhood, sport and society have shaped one another both then and now.

The Beekeeper's Year

Markus Lohne Hustad

Early spring. The sun breaks through the clouds over a quiet landscape. In the grass stands a green beehive, wrapped like a gift, ready to be opened. This is how the beekeeping season begins – with hope, anticipation, and a touch of reverence. The Beekeeper’s Year is not just a book about bees. It is about nature, belonging and change. After leaving a busy office life behind, Markus Lohne Hustad sets out to understand the fragile harmony between humans and the natural world one hive, one season at a time. Through personal reflections, small triumphs and quiet setbacks, Hustad offers a portrait of a life lived close to the rhythm of the land. From winter’s silence to the first hum of spring, this is a story of renewal, community and the search for meaning in a changing landscape.

A poetic and reflective journey into modern beekeeping

The Fall of the Glaciers

Dag O. Hessen

In The Fall of the Glaciers, it’s the ability ice has to tell a deeper story about who we are, where we come from, and where we are going that forms the nerve of the narrative. Long before becoming one of Scandinavia’s most renowned biologists, Dag O. Hessen spent his summers navigating the crevasses of Norway’s majestic glaciers. Decades later, as climate change accelerates and ancient ice recedes, Hessen returns to these blue cathedrals to confront a profound global phenomenon: the beauty, science, and collective grief surrounding the world’s disappearing glaciers. What can more effectively convey the story of tipping points and a warmer planet than a glacier that melts more in summer than it grows in winter? With The Fall of the Glaciers, Hessen completes a trilogy destined to become a pillar of Norwegian non-fiction, building on Wolverine Tracks (2023) and Bird’s-Eye View (2025). While each book stands on its own, they are bound together by Hessen’s personal and scientific reflections on the natural world and humanity’s place within its accelerating changes. “In a level-headed and knowledgeable manner, Hessen navigates such dizzying spans of time (...) Besides inspired accounts of his own experiences with glaciers, Hessen offers both the history of science and cultural history ... he [elaborates on] how the loss of nature carries cultural and existential dimensions (...)"Morgenbladet “Thorough and frightening about what happens when glaciers around the world melt and disappear (...) The beauty of such in-depth non-fiction is the personal approach to the subject matter, something he also carried off in style in the first two books, Wolverine Tracks and Bird's-Eye View, in what has now, with this release, become a trilogy.”Adresseavisen
