Chaotic Times

Aina Haugaard / Kaveh Rashidi

Do you sometimes feel trapped in a blur of sleepless nights, cold dinners, and endless worries while everyone tells you to enjoy every moment? You’re not alone! In Chaos Time!, Norway’s most popular general practicioner, Kaveh Rashidi, and midwife Aina Haugaard, parents of three children under five, guide readers through the beautiful, maddening reality of raising small children. With humour, honesty, and science-based advice, they tackle everything from bedtime battles and toddler tantrums to family meals, screen time, and how to stay connected as a couple when life feels like a never-ending circus. Drawing on their medical experience and their own chaotic home life, Rashidi and Haugaard cut through the noise of conflicting parenting advice to help you find your own way — without guilt, pressure or perfectionism. Because while chaos is inevitable, it’s also where connection, laughter and real parenting happen. Chaos Time! reminds us that three quarters of the time we’ll ever spend with our children happens before they start schoo so maybe it’s time to stop counting down and start finding the joy in the mess.

The Female Brain

Ann-Marie de Lange

Our brains are shaped by hormones, yet science has long ignored how profoundly this affects women. In The Female Brain, cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Ann-Marie de Lange explores how hormonal rhythms sculpt the female brain across every stage of life, from puberty and the menstrual cycle to pregnancy, motherhood and menopause. Drawing on new research and personal stories, she reveals the astonishing adaptability of the female brain: how it grows stronger, more complex and more resilient through change, loss and transition. Why do so many women experience brain fog, mood shifts or changes in memory and focus? What really happens inside the brain during pregnancy or menopause? De Lange challenges the long-standing medical bias built on male physiology, offering a new, evidence-based perspective on women’s neurological health. Both enlightening and empowering, The Female Brain combines cutting-edge science with lived experience to show that women’s biology is not a limitation — it is a source of strength. “This book contributes to increase the understanding of how the physical changes experienced by women, affects the psyche. … The author writes about complex topics in a very good way.” SYKEPLEIEN “Ann-Marie de Lange’s book The Female Brain should become common knowledge for all thinking and feeling persons. … Generally, the book is full of perspectives that gives renewed respect for the enormous changes women experience, physically and cognitively. The writer is personal in a way that must have taken courage and is able to reflect upon difficult emotions while drawing on her field of expertise.” FORSKERFORUM “Ann-Marie de Lange writes with that rare combination of the researcher’s precision and the storyteller’s warmth. … The most striking thing about the book may be its respect for the reader. De Lange never underestimates women’s ability to understand complex research, but neither does she drown her language in an academic fog. The language is easy to read, without becoming overly simplified.” APOLLON

Presents new peer-reviewed brain research directly linked to women's life experiences.

Prescription: Play

Charlotte Lunde

Childhood play was a sanctuary. A space where there was only room for joy, not for worries. We all have some memories associated with play. A place, a smell or a song. In an instant, you are back in time. Today, children play less outside – and less with each other. They experience more demands and less freedom than children did a generation ago. More and more children and young people also struggle with health problems and dissatisfaction. Increased knowledge about the importance of play shows that this may be connected. For many children and youths, play has moved into a screen, and AI is now also invading childhood. These are playgrounds that are proving to be threaths to children's safety and health in a way we could never have imagined. All mammals play because play is a prerequisite for health, development and survival. Play develops empathy, curiosity and mental resilience – qualities we presently need more than anything. This means that we as a society must bring free play back into the fight – not only for the health of our children – but for the future of the earth.

Reading Crisis:

Kari Spjeldnæs

The "reading crisis" is a pressing contemporary issue, reflecting declining literacy, shrinking attention spans, and a general shift from books to screens. This book moves beyond typical campaigns, instead exploring the very essence and impact of reading, emphasizing the profound value of engaging with long texts. While not offering a simple solution, it reveals what we're losing in this digital age and provides insights to actions to help us become good readers once more. "'Reading crisis' is, with its many good, platitude-free sentences, excellent research dissemination. That Spjeldnæs spices up her inspiring, little reading book with literary examples is in itself an argument to leave your cell-phone [tucked away]. NRK It takes willpower to read longer texts today "If the ability to focus and read becomes a resource possessed primarily by people with higher education and cultural capital, that's a problem. Both to the knowledge society and to the democracy, says Kari Spjeldnes." krigsvidenskab.dk A book that reminds us of why reading matters "[...]Spjeldnæs points out something highly significant. Reading is not just a past-time or a personal hobby. It's a skill that's foundational for knowledge, reflection and public discourse. [...] As such, it's even more important that somebody still highlights books, recommends reading and contributes to keeping the conversation on literature alive. "Reading crisis" is therefore a thought-provoking book." Rose-Maries litteratur- og filmblogg Reading crisis as contemporary diagnosis "Are there anyone who still doubts that we are facing a reading crisis these days? If you read Kari Spjeldnæs' book on the topic, that doubt will hopefully diminish considerably. [...] Over the course of seven chapters she gives a convincing presentation of the trouble we have gotten ourselves into, why we are there, and what could/should be done to come out of this crisis."

A pen against the plague

Ingeborg Senneset

For more than ten years, Ingeborg Senneset has used her pen and keyboard as weapons to fight against ignorance, science hostility and vaccine resistance. With her background both as a journalist and a nurse, she has taken up the fight against the 'plague', both figuratively and literally - the flood of misinformation, outright lies and unfounded fear that through algorithms ravage the internet and social media. And the specific: pandemics, the spread of infection and unnecessary illnesses that result from vaccine skepticism and unfounded fear of all the new possibilities of modern medicine. And behind it lurks perhaps the most dangerous threat of all: Antibiotic resistance.

My First Seasons: Winter

Cecilie Skog

My First Seasons: Winter is a charming board book for the very youngest readers. What happens in nature during winter? Which birds stay behind, and who made those animal tracks in the snow? Which animals sleep all through the winter, and what can we make out of the snow? These are just some of the things children will learn about in this book.

The Mineral Shortage

Kåre Dahl Martinsen

China's near-monopoly on critical minerals is driving a global scramble. These essential resources fuel both the West's green transition and its defense industries, prompting intense US focus on deposits in Ukraine and Greenland. However, a critical fact is often overlooked: Norway holds significantly larger mineral reserves than both these nations combined. This places Norway squarely in the center of an escalating international resource race, with major implications for its future. Discover how this new geopolitical reality unfolds, why minerals are the currency of tomorrow, and Norway's crucial, unexpected role in shaping the global power landscape. A vital read for understanding the nexus of energy, security, and international relations.

The Gateway to the North

Dag Kullerud

It is an interesting paradox that Norwegians and Danes cross each other's borders millions of times a year, yet knowledge of each other seems to be diminishing. Dag Kullerud has reflected on this for four decades, and his observation is clear: The distance is growing, and knowledge is disappearing. In Norwegian media, Denmark is often associated with holidays, Copenhagen, Legoland, beer and red sausages. We rarely see mention of the country's history, the community we have, or current politics. This can lead to a somewhat limited image of our neighbor to the south. The Gateway to the North is an invitation to greater understanding. Dag Kullerud's book is an attempt to bridge this gap. Instead of accepting the distance, Kullerud invites us to a journey of discovery across established notions. The book explores questions such as: Why do we primarily travel to Northern Jutland, but overlook Southern Denmark? What significance do the areas south of the Kongeåen – the Wadden Sea coast, South Jutland – have for our common history? Here you will find unique stories about war and culture, and about the commitment of Norwegians to the Danes during the turbulent times of the 19th century. The Gateway to the North functions as both a travel guide and a history book, with a focus on hidden places and translated stories. Along the way, the author reflects on an important question: Can a deeper knowledge of each other help revive Nordic cohesion in a new era? Welcome to a journey that can broaden your view of Denmark and our common Nordic heritage.

One The Edge of the Abyss

Hans Olav Lahlum

In this book, author and historian Hans Olav Lahlum explains and analyzes the situation in a deeply divided United States, a year and a half after Donald Trump’s major comeback as president – and just months before highly critical midterm elections. President Trump is portrayed by his opponents as an existential threat to democracy and the rule of law. Meanwhile, his supporters depict him as a long-awaited and necessary savior. Hans Olav Lahlum presents an accessible account of the history of democracy and the rule of law in the United States. The book explains the road leading to the current state of affairs and discusses the outlook for the coming years. As part of this analysis, the evolution and current state of both the Democratic and Republican parties are examined. The United States’ current position in the global community is also discussed in light of the legacies of past presidents. Furthermore, the final chapters of the book explore the role of Vice President Vance and the future prospects of the MAGA movement. Is American democracy truly teetering on the brink of the abyss—and are we witnessing the end of the global leadership role the US has held in the West ever since World War II?

Calm / Chaos

Marthe Christine Valle

We live in restless times. Despite prosperity, freedom and knowledge, more of us than ever struggle with anxiety, loneliness and a fragile sense of belonging. Why are we so uneasy, and how can we raise children who can face life’s challenges without escaping into distraction or denial? Calm / Chaos is a powerful and timely book about meeting life’s turbulence with acceptance, clarity and community. Known as both a celebrated artist and activist, Marthe Valle is also a nurse specialising in mental health and addiction. Through her long-running Calm / Chaos programme for schools and parents, developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Women’s Public Health Association, she explores how modern parenting has become dominated by insecurity and performance while core values like resilience, responsibility and connection are quietly eroding. Drawing on years of professional experience, research in psychology and personal stories, Valle offers concrete tools and deep insight into how we can handle life’s inevitable discomforts and teach our children to do the same. She calls on readers to rediscover the power of comunity, to lead with love and strength, and to cultivate calm within the chaos of the modern world.
