The Mystery of School Refusal

The Mystery of School Refusal

Gaute Brochmann / Ole Jacob Madsen

In The Mystery of School Refusal writers Gaute Brochmann and Ole Jacob Madsen tries to get to the bottom of school refusal as a phenomenon. What is going on in our families, at school or in society that makes something that was so easy and obvious just one generation ago is now becoming increasingly impossible for so very many. Before, everyone went to school. Both the good pupils and the not so good pupils. The practical students and the ponderers. Those who had a good life at home, and those who didn´t. Those who played football in the breaks and those smoking behind the shed. There was probably very few who thought of school as great fun, and everybody had something they did not like about school, from moody teachers to rowdy fellow students. From hard subjects to the fact that you must sit still all day long. Still, we went there. All of us. Day after day, year after year. Today this is not the case. A growing number of children are not going to school. They want to. But they just can´t. The phenomenon has spread down the ages, from High School through Junior High and down to Elementary School and it is known as School Refusal. Professional communities now agree that School Refusal is turning into a considerable challenge when it comes to the public health. What has caused this development? And why is it happening now? In this book the authors try to look at what is causing this development. They try to look at it in a wider social perspective, with the stories of the children as a natural point of focus.

The Joy of Saving

Anne Berit Grostad

The Joy of Saving shows you that it is fun to save when you can also spend money on what you want! If you spend your family’s income wisely, curb consumption and look at what you own through economical eyes, your dream holiday and the item at the top of your wish list can be yours without your finances suffering. The Joy of Saving takes you through the three classics—savings accounts, stocks and investment—using blessedly comprehensible language. But first and foremost, it teaches you less obvious ways of saving. About finding the balance between saving, consumption, sustainability and quality of life. About making money choices based on insight rather than fear. And, not least, about teaching children healthy money habits. This book is full of examples from the author’s own everyday life.

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.

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.
