Little Adult

Guro Hoftun

Little Adult is a book for parents who want to be able to let go when their twenty-year-olds leave home to make their own lives. Through many conversations, Guro Hoftun gets close to people and draws a map of the situation of young adults in Norway, what kind of jobs and careers they start, what they struggle with and what they want. And how parents, who nowadays may be closer to their children than ever, handle letting their little adults be independent. In this book, Guro Hoftun sets the stage for an important and timely discussion of young adults who need to find their own way, and dedicated parents who want a good relationship with their adult children.

A Norwegian in Washington

Hans D. Høeg

A Norwegian in the House is the story of the Norwegian who became Chief of Staff for an American Congressman in 2012 and ended up leading a plot to topple the USA’s third most powerful man. When Hans Høeg met a hillbilly by the name of Thomas Massie at the prestigious MiT in Cambridge in 1991, he realised it would be the start of a long and rewarding friendship. What’s more, he decided then and there that he would get on board if his energetic, weather-beaten friend ever decided to embark on an exciting project sometime in the future. But when Thomas’s offer came, more than 20 years later, it was not the entrepreneurial dream Hans had imagined. His outspoken, freedom-loving fellow student from Vanceburg, Kentucky, had thrown himself into politics and had, against all the odds, been elected to represent his district in Congress on behalf of the Republicans. Massie wanted to create one hell of a commotion in Washington and needed a wingman he could count on. His choice fell on a somewhat reluctant Hans from Drammen. Now Høeg tells the incredible story of his years at the heart of the innermost circles of power in the USA. It’s the tale of two engineer nerds’ efforts to understand the political game, their spectacular attempt to overthrow the Republican speaker, John Boehner, and a rude encounter with a self-sustaining system of corruption and bureaucratic chicanery – an ugly culture that was a logical precursor to the tumult of the 2016 presidential election.

Our way out

Kari Løvendahl Mogstad / Selma Løvendahl Mogstad Leraand

Eating disorders affect both genders and all ages. It’s an increasing health and community issue, especially among young people. Doctor Kari Løvendahl Mogstad explores different eating disorders, which signs you should look out for, information about treatment, societal consequences, and new research. She also shares her personal story about when her daughter Selma became ill with anorexia, and Selma offers her own texts which give an insight into the young person’s day-to-day and shows how the disease feels from the inside. The combination of the mother and daughter experience makes this story especially strong and believable. They offer hope to others going through the same, whether as the one suffering the disorder or the relative.

Becoming a Mother

Oda Weider-Krog

“When a child is born, a mother is also born. Into a brand new day-to-day, a whole new life. She’s thrown into an existence one cannot prepare for in advance. It’s as if a line is put down, a line separating the before and the now.” Becoming a Mother is a small book about the biggest experience in the world. Oda Weider-Krog writes about the all-consuming time during the child’s first year, the demanding and the emotional, and the intoxicating feeling of getting to know your child. How many hours does a child need to be breastfed? Are there other mothers out there longing for some alone time and sleep? With warmth and humour she writes about the first months as a new mother, about breastfeeding and blocked milk ducts, changing diapers and endless nights awake, about loneliness, longing and doubt, falling in love and bottomless love – all these precious moments and the chaotic feelings that arrive together when you become a mother.

Putting the Pieces Together

Martin Revheim

Martin’s story is a harrowing tale of failure and betrayal. About growing up with a violent and unpredictable father. About serious neglect and violence that was never discovered. Reality literature is overflowing with stories of sons’ difficult relationships with domineering fathers. This story is also about a father failing in his duty of care, but most of all about a son’s struggle to get out of his father’s shadow. That said, no parent is a monster, and it is precisely the relationship between good and bad memories that leaves children unsure as to whether they want to repair a relationship—an uncertainty that many fight until it is too late. Eia-Revheim depicts the relationship with ambivalence, with love and longing as well as disappointment and bitterness. If you experience a little love, you want more, he writes. Who wouldn’t relate to that?

The Eye

Sara Nøland

The eyes are the body’s unique camera, livestreaming every waking hour to the brain. How in the world do these moist organs, decorated with irises of varying colours, manage this incredible task—that is, seeing? Sight is a bit like love: you don’t know you love it until it’s gone. In reading this book, you will come to realise that the function of the eye plays a key role in our lives. Many people live good lives without sight, but what can be prevented should be prevented. In this book, medical student and researcher Sara T. Nøland describes how vision works in a simple, entertaining and fascinating way, injecting fun facts, the latest and most cutting-edge research, and specific tips and tricks.

2070

Bjørn H. Samset

The route to avoiding climate change runs from now to 2070. In 50 years’ time, the green revolution must have happened. In 50 years’ time, we must be fossil-free. That’s how simple it is. And yet, so incredibly difficult. In this book, Samset shows us how we ended up where we are today, explains the models and climate systems we need to grasp, and gives us hope for the road ahead. If we read the expert literature about climate change we’ll find no shortage of material for fire-and-brimstone sermons. But dystopias won’t inspire us to face the future. So this is a climate book that doesn’t deal with worst-case scenarios (although they are mentioned), but focuses instead on offering hope. We’re taken on a journey to 2070, following one of the routes we can choose to take to avoid the worst consequences of climate change while also building a sustainable world.

ADHD

ADHD

Kristin Leer

ADHD is often defined as a psychiatric disorder, but physician and author Kristin Leer, who has ADHD herself, as well as children with ADHD, cannot see ADHD as the diagnosis of a disease. For the author, it was a relief to find out that she had ADHD. Had she realised earlier that the cause of so many challenges and sorrows – at school, in her professional career, in personal relationships – could be summed up in four simple initials, she would have been spared much frustration and anxiety. ADHD is something you can live with. What’s more, it can sometimes have some surprisingly positive sides. However, ADHD may also make life feel like an uphill struggle, and the range of functional impairments can be extensive. The book offers a new perspective on how to understand ADHD, reviews diagnostic criteria and treatments, and offers excellent everyday coping strategies. A better life is possible when ADHD is diagnosed than when it isn’t.
