Mini-Adventures

Mikkel Soya Bølstad / Marius Nergård Pettersen

Adventure. What is it really? To walk across Greenland once in the course of your life? To climb mountains in distant lands, cross poles and deserts and paddle dangerous rivers in uninhabited wastelands? Yes. It can be that. But many adventures can also be found right outside your doorstep. They are inexpensive and readily accessible for everybody. We call them mini-adventures. A mini-adventure is a trip of one to three days, based on an imaginative (and often rather crazy) idea which is planned and carried out as an expedition. Nearby. Simple. Exciting. Marius Nergård Pettersen and Mikkel Soya Bølstad set out on the hunt for adventures nearby. They paddle rivers on an airbed, go on a trip between two working days wearing formal suits, carrying everything they need in a briefcase. They buy equipment at a flea market, take a canoe tour of Oslo, follow a district boundary closely, sleep overnight in caves, swim to parties and live for two days on what they can find in the woods. And much more. No project is too strange as they stretch the traditional boundaries of life in the great outdoors and find big adventures in little expeditions, just across the doorstep.

The Money-Go-Round

Silje Sandmæl / Randi Fuglehaug

Has the generation now growing up become used to getting all it asks for? Do we do our children a disservice when we go along with the purchase of over-priced designer label clothes, expensive designer bags and ever more advanced technological frivolities? In this book, economic researcher Silje Sandmæl gives good, practical advice on how we can talk with children about money, from tots arguing about sweets in the shop to when they are leaving home for the first time. She equips us with the tools we need to resist the pressure to buy along the road, and shows us what we ourselves need to do to set a good example. To give children an awareness of their own use of money is to give them a good start in life. Start today! When should children get allowance, and how much should we give them? What should birthday and confirmation presents cost? How can we involve children in family budgeting, how do we encourage saving, and what can we do to steer them away from economic reefs?

Poncho!

Denise Samson

Now it's all about ponchos! This simple garment has become a real craze, and not without reason. A poncho can be thin or thick, with or without a fringe, plain or patterned, an outer garment or something to wear to a party. The design of a poncho offers almost endless possibilities, but the common feature is the simple shape and ease of use. Denise Samson has created a book crammed with crocheted and knitted variations, in all styles and shapes. Many of the ponchos are herown design, but she has also selected her favourites from the Norwegian yarn producers' best patterns. In addition to 35 patterns for ponchos and a couple of beautiful shawls, there are also a few smart accessories to go with some of them, such as matching ear-muffs and mittens.
