COLORS FOR THE PEOPLE

Dagny Thurmann-Moe

Did you know that gray cars crash the most and that red cars crash the least? That white, which is used more and more often in both institutions and schools, increases stress, decreases concentration and is a catalyst for headaches? What are colors, why do we need them and what do we use them for? In this book, color expert Dagny Thurmann-Moe battles against an increasingly more colorless existence. She shows us how Norway has gone from being colorful and full of impressions to being a landscape of gray and white, even in the summer. In the first part of the book, she gives an introduction to what colors are, why people need colors, and what we use them for. She explains what a color palette is and how to use it. In the second part, she envisages the use of color in architecture, public spaces, public institutions and on cars. Finally, she shows how we can use colors inside our houses and in our wardrobes, and that colors have a natural place – no matter what style you wish to have.

Kingdom of Frost

Bjørn Roar Vassnes

An award-winning science journalist explains what Earth's frozen waters tell us about the past, present, and future of humanity. "The Kingdom of Frost," or what scientists call the cryosphere, refers to all of Earth's frozen waters. Glaciers, ice caps, and fields of Arctic snow—the cryosphere is vital to our survival. It supplies us with water and helps cool cities from Bangladesh to Bangkok, Los Angeles to Oslo. In this captivating, eye-opening account, esteemed Norwegian writer Bjørn Vassnes interweaves brilliant climate reporting with the fascinating story of Earth's frozen world. He draws on cultural history and anthropology to tell us how the cryosphere once helped to spark life on Earth—and how it continues to sustain us despite its shrinking size. And he answers pressing questions such as: What will happen if it all disappears? ‘Vassnes never get high pitched, there is no alarmism, and no rhetoric about how we are standing at the edge of the abyss. In a hushed manner and with a steady pen, he still makes us aware of the seriousness. Underway to this seriousness we have joined him on an educational journey in the Kingdom of frost.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

Tire Change

Vigdis Hjorth

The man in front of her was sitting very still on a rock smoking a Prince cigarette, now slightly smiling, with his elbows on his knees and his legs opened wide. Apart from their difference in size, he didn't really measure up to her, so why was she interested in him? But that’s something, anyway, she said to herself; she wasn’t going up the hierarchy, like most women, but down the opposite way. Is it so easy, so childish? To do the opposite? What was she after? She was having a break. From herself, from work, the past, the future, her life. Putting off difficult things, demanding things, have a break, rest at his place. It won’t solve the problem. And he isn’t even aware that there’s a problem. That she is not accountable for her actions at the time of the crime, on the run, that he is a kind of shelter. Tire Change (Hjulskift) is a love story about Truls, a car salesman, and Louise, a professor of literature. It’s an intelligent and humorously told story of an encounter between two people who come from opposite ends of the cultural spectrum. "I can do nothing but to bring out the superlatives (…) She dissects difference in class, love, intimacy, art and life in a pure, simple and extremely precise language."DAGBLADET "Hjorths latest publications portraits ever better dilemmas about living a life in the upper cultural layers of the Norwegian middle class. She writes thought provokingly and entertaining (…) Her books is amongst the best that is published in Norway today."KLASSEKAMPEN Rights sold to Denmark, Poland and Sweden.
