Get clean

Caroline Heyerdahl

A neat, tidy, clean home is essential in Scandinavia, where we spend most of the dark, cold winter months inside. Cleaning is often associated with chemical detergents, but you don't have to fill your home with fumes and toxins to keep it spotless. In Get Clean, Caroline Heyerdal shows you the Scandinavian method of natural cleaning - meaning you won’t have to hold your breath while getting the job done. You’ll learn how to tackle dust, stains, nasty smells and toxins with simple steps. Caroline Heyerdahl knows how to get that t-shirt back to a bright white, and how to get rid of the stink in your laundry machine. You will find recipes for products you can make at home, with ingredients from your kitchen cupboard. She also shows how using weather, such as sunlight or freezing temperatures, can become part of your cleaning routine. The result? A better indoor climate, a better conscience and a better mood. Get Clean is a fun, inspiring and practical book that teaches you how to clean effectively and environmentally friendly, the Scandi way. With this book, you will gain more time and energy to do what you like best – which probably isn’t cleaning.

Our Honour and Our Fear

Abid Raja

A topical and deeply personal book shedding light on several aspects of one the greatest societal challenges of our time. At a young age, Abid Raja and his father were estranged. Now, as an adult, Raja accepts his father's plea for reconciliation, and a new world opens up for him. Relatives he has not seen for 16 years embrace him, and invite him back into a community that, as an integrated Norwegian, he had long ago opted out of. It starts with a wedding in Pakistan, and ends with invitations from uncles, aunts and cousins ​​across Europe. The experience is a wake-up call, which makes Raja wonder what his life could have been if his father had chosen another country to migrate to when he left Pakistan in the 1970s. In the bestselling book My fault, Raja brought the readers inside his childhood home in Oslo. This time he travels to notorious ghettos, hospitable homes as well as the gilded corridors of power in England, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Denmark. In a Europe that has become polarized, he encounters people working for and against migration. He also encounters very different solutions to the challenges with integration. After this, Abid Raja sees his own country with new eyes. How could he have been blind to these issues? Is there still time to turn the tide, before the Norwegian integration project finally falters? And what challenges do Muslim boys and girls who grow up in Norway face today? There might be some answers in his own reconciliation, in the communities he meets - and in the story of his mother, who fell between two worlds. Who lived behind closed curtains in her Oslo apartment, and who is now buried in a cemetery in Mohri Sharif. «What distinguishes Raja from other travel writers, such as Morten Strøksnes, Erika Fatland, Åsne Seierstad, and recently also historian Nils Rune Langeland, is precisely the fact that he is the child of immigrants with a Muslim background.»NRK, five/six stars «Abid Raja is precise and strong here, pointing out a new challenge that everyone should take seriously.»DAGBLADET, five/six stars

“I Am an Alcoholic. And I Think You Are, Too”

Gunn-Helen Øye

Outwardly, she was a successful professional who celebrated job success with champagne. At home, Gunn-Helen Øye was an exhausted mother who secretly drank Martini from coffee cups. She went from managing work and toddlers with a glass of wine on Monday and two glasses of wine at a work party on Tuesday to losing control of her “cool lifestyle”. Everything started to revolve around the drinking. “Why didn't you tell me?” Øye asks now. “After all, you were the people closest to me; my partner, parents, siblings, friends and colleagues.” Now, thirty years since Øye stopped drinking alcohol, she still celebrates her sobriety anniversary, the decisive moment when she checked into rehab. In this book, she shares her powerful story and, as a trend researcher, examines the role that alcohol plays in today’s social culture and the explosive power of unconscious habits.

40 Weeks, A Human Pregnancy and 81 Other Ways to Reproduce

Anna Blix

It takes 40 weeks to grow a human baby. Along the way, the relationship between the foetus and the pregnant woman bears resemblance to that of a parasite and its host. One takes and takes, while the other continue to give, risking their health in the process. Anna Blix takes the reader on a personal, investigative, and deeply fascinating journey through each of the 40 weeks in a human pregnancy. Parallelly, for each week, we meet other creatures who have just delivered their next generation into the world. The bacteria E. coli has multiplied by two within 20 minutes. An Eastern grey kangaroo is pregnant for just 5 weeks before giving birth to a baby the size of a bean, which then crawls into its pouch to grow. And the birds with the longest incubation period of all, the wandering albatross, is done with their incubation period after only 10 weeks. Why do we as humans carry our babies inside our bodies for so long, and is there a reason that we are throwing up and feeling nauseous? Are there better ways to reproduce? And does any living creature reproduce in a stranger way than us humans? This book gives evolutionary comfort throughout the troubles of pregnancy, and an explanation as to how we ended up here: as the smartest species with the most tiresome, but nonetheless not such a bad way to reproduce. «There is no better literature than great non-fiction. Written by specialists who are unbound by strict terminology or publication pressure, but in a liberal and relaxed language. The biologist, journalist, writer and columnist Blix is incredibly good here. […] the most amazing stories about mating, pregnancy, gender and sexuality.»DAGBLADET, six/six starsExtremely funny about difficult births«.. my judgement is that this is the best book I've read so far this year. The combination of well-written text, a good frame story and incredible facts about weird pregnancies, is simply put a winner. I'm unsure if I'll have the pleasure of reading anything better this year.»AFTENPOSTEN Anna Blix glows as the feminist David Attenborough«But in Anna Blix's book, the emotionally anchored philosophizing about the drastic life change is non-existent. Here it is about the physical and concrete work, and it is both highly entertaining and educational - and not least a solid feminist work. Rearranged organs, twisted stomach, compressed bladder, flaming heartburn and skeleton sliding apart. Ah, it's a joy to read. (...) Blix is a master at making complex science understandable to regular people.»KLASSEKAMPEN One of Aftenposten's best books of 2023«This is an incredibly funny book about births in the animal kingdom.»

Instruction Manual for Everyday Sex

Siri Dalsmo Berge

Sex is an important part of a relationship. Some believe it is the very glue in the relationship, but do you know what the key to good everyday sex over time is? It is neither technical skills nor synchronized orgasms that are most important. Couples who have good sex over many years primarily have a solid friendship at the bottom. A friendship characterized by mutual trust and admiration. And then they prioritize sex. Even though they are busy and have a thousand irons in the fire, they choose to spend time being intimate with each other. They make room for it, because they have experienced that everyday sex strengthens their closeness and sense of belonging. In Instruction Manual for Everyday Sex, GP and couples therapist Siri Dalsmo Berge guides you through common sexual concerns and problems as she does in consultations with patients. She combines medical knowledge and up-to-date research on sexuality and health with good, well-documented advice on how you can increase your sexual well-being and intimacy with your partner in everyday life. The quality of your close relationships is the most important factor that affects how long you live. Physical intimacy and sex are an important part of this, and a good sex life contributes to better health, while problems with sex or difficult sexual experiences create ill health. In other words, good everyday sex is good for you.

Your Will Be Done

Anne-Britt Harsem

Anne-Britt Harsem approaches the free churches in Norway to uncover the neglect, manipulation, and conspiracy theories (brainwashing) which children and teenagers are exposed to. This story is based on conversations with a woman who at a young age was pulled into the Pentecostal environment against her will. The day-to-day consisted of revival meetings, doomsday prophecies, physical punishments, speaking in tongues, spirit and demon exorcism to mention a few. A gifted child who spent all her energy on surviving. This book uncovers what goes on behind the scenes in some of these closed congregations. Norwegian free churches have essentially been protected, despite several children being exposed to neglect in these environments. The story shows what kind of power the preachers have over the congregation, what kind of damage this can cause on a young mind, and how it can affect your life as an adult. The children risk developing post-traumatic stress disorder, which causes poorer quality of life and in the worst cases disabilities as an adult. A quietly insisting and upsetting book about a person who spent all their power daring to live.
