Before we can answer the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence, we must answer the question: "What is intelligence"? With this as his starting point, Norway's best-known investigative journalist approaches one of the most important and mythical phenomena of our time. Vassnes shows how real intelligence - like real creativity - is deeply connected to the human, and cannot be reproduced or replaced by computers. As always, the author links a number of subject areas, art and history in a book that is as well written as it is thought-provoking about one of the most important topics of our time.

Carbohydrate intolerance/insulin resistance has become increasingly widespread. It is a precursor to diabetes, and Branæs thinks we need to talk more about this condition. In this book, The Carb Trap, you will learn to understand how carbohydrates take control of you, and how you can take the necessary steps to improve your health.

The serious injuries were one thing, but even more unbearable was the grief over all the plans and dreams that were now unattainable. Patients told her how they had let life pass them by, planning for a quieter future where they could enjoy themselves. One day she decided that she wasn’t going to end up like that. She had to live now. Jannicke Øien is an adventurer and wilderness guide. Live Outside, Live Now is a tribute to the wild and untouched beauty that surrounds us. It contains personal reflections and stories about her experiences in nature, and how nature can affect us as humans. She writes about climbing some of the world’s highest mountain peaks, walking through dense forests and being in contact with the rich diversity of wildlife. We get to go to some of the most incredible places on the planet, such as the Himalayas, Alaska and Kilimanjaro.
