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

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.

We might not have seen these people in a long time, you might feel timid, and a bit left out standing there in your finest. At that time, it can be hard to start a conversation. People have different personalities, needs and ways to communicate. But why is it so hard to move from awkwardness to an interesting and stimulating conversation?The Get-to-Know-Each-Other Book is your friend in need when you want to get in the swing of things socially. It will create laughter, recognition, discussion, and new knowledge. And the reward will be that good feeling of togetherness.

Bjørg Vik’s Way

Lars Vik

Few Norwegian authors of the 20th century left more of a mark on their society than Bjørg Vik. In eleven short story collections, five novels and numerous plays, she explored women’s lives and the background to their experience like no other writer. In a warm portrayal of his mother, Lars Vik offers us an honest and intimate portrait of the author, public figure, and private person that was Bjørg Vik, based on her journals, letters and countless conversations with those around her. The book offers a wealth of new information about one of Norway’s most important cultural figures. Between her life and her writing, the book portrays a person of uncommon calibre, who had huge ambition and made an enormous impact. But it also shows the price of success.

The Secret Life of the City

Hanna Bjørgaas

Hanna Bjørgaas is a biologist who spends her days among the penguins and whales in the Antarctic, one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. The tourists she guides pay immense sums to travel there and encounter nature as they will never experience it anywhere else in the world. Or will they? Here is the starting-point for her project: to walk out of her door and take a non-judgemental interest in the nature she encounters over the course of a year. Can she experience nature in the city? The majority of Europe’s population live in towns or densely populated areas, and city nature is the nature most people will encounter. In this book, Bjørgaas tracks down the most fascinating specialist knowledge available to us about the species and nature in cities. But the book is also a declaration of love to the biologists and experts who share their knowledge with commitment and enthusiasm.
