Naked and Alone

Tormod Huseby

Alene naken is an exceptionally warm, tolerant and insightful book about what really controls our behaviour. Tormod Huseby is a psychiatrist deeply engaged with his patients and colleagues. In the book he shows what becomes of our lives when we are not ourselves. Why do we not turn out as we were meant to be, and why as adults do we continue to conceal who we are? The author also explains how we can be affected when other people haven't been able to be their true selves – children, spouses, colleagues or friends. That can lead to weakened self-esteem in those of us who have been rejected by them. We can suffer loss of energy, conflict in relationships at work and worry about our friendships. We may also fear violence and terrorism. Through many stories from his meetings with people – and from his own life – he invites us to reflect on why we are who we are, why we make the choices we do, and how we can make different choices to enable us to find a life where we dare to be fully ourselves. ’Honest, open-hearted and well written reports of some of the problems and people a psychiatrist can meet in his everyday work.’AFTENPOSTEN

British Prime Ministers 1900 to 2015

Øivind Bratberg / Hans Olav Lahlum

Britiske statsministere 1900-2015. Fra Lord Salisbury til David Cameron tells the story of all of the United Kingdom's prime ministers over the last 115 years. The book presents entertaining portraits of the lives of 22 very important politicians, and also explains both the United Kingdom's own development and the country's role in the international community. Readers are invited on an exciting and educational journey through contemporary political history. Through 400 pages we journey from the world's largest colonial empire at the end of the 1800s via two world wars and a cold war in the 1900s up to our century's financial crisis and war against terror – all in the company of still disputed historical figures such as Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. The book brings forth from obscurity both the triumphs and tragedies in the lives and political careers of lesser-known prime ministers. This book will be of great interest to all readers with even a modicum of interest in history, politics or people. Political scientist Øivind Bratberg is one of Norway's leading experts on the United Kingdom, and historian Hans Olav Lahlum is one of Norway's leading mediators of political history.

C - Carbon

Dag O. Hessen

There are good reasons for writing this book with the simple title of C, which is the first and unauthorised biography of carbon, life's central element.Most of the life processes within and around us involve carbon in one form or another. Carbon in pure form can be both graphite in a pencil, and diamond. It is also the starting point for most of the synthetic materials which pervade modern life. However, the essence of Dag O. Hessen's story is the lifecycle of carbon, the important balance between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, between building and burning. This book gives us the basis we need for that understanding. It is an informal, well-informed book written with strong personal commitment by one of Norway's best presenters of research and science.‘This is a brilliant and deep journey into the science, history, and indeed the morality of the Periodic Table's sixth element, carbon. An accomplished scientist and a masterful storyteller, Dag Hessen takes us from the elegance of the Kohi-Noor diamond to the putrescence of cow flatulence, explaining the science behind carbon's connection to our bodies and to our future given it's ongoing impact on global climate. Readers will enjoy the journey while also gaining some philosophical and ethical perspective on the tradeoffs and complexities that are involved as humanity struggles to decarbonize. Carbon – you thought you knew it? Think again and read this book.’ JIM ELSER, BIERMAN PROFESSOR OF ECOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA‘The literary technique is distinctly original. Dag O. Hessen succeeds in creating a piece of accessible literature on the border between science and politics.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

Christian Magnus Falsen

Marthe Hommerstad

When VG newspaper recently listed the most important Norwegians of the last 200 years, Christian Magnus Falsen came second only to Henrik Ibsen. Some claim that he should perhaps have topped the list. Norwegian history would have looked quite different without him. In 1814 he was one of the most influential leaders in the Norwegian independence struggle. He wrote the most important draft of the constitution and was a driving force in the constitutional assembly. But Falsen's story doesn't stop there. Ten years later he was pushed out of his public office by widespread mistrust in parliament. His opponents attacked him, claiming that he had betrayed the democratic ideals of 1814 and had gone into the service of King Karl Johan. When he died at the age of 48 he was marginalised, ill and overlooked. Norwegian historians have been arguing about Falsen's role since his death. Historian Marthe Hommerstad's biography of the statesman gives a more objective but also gentler portrayal. Falsen lived through one of world history's times of great change. The old order was coming to an end and new opportunities were opening up. His life is the story of an old state breaking apart and a new state rising up. This was the age of the revolutions, and Falsen stood in the front rank.

The Untouchables

Ane Bjøru Fjeldsæter

Ane Bjøru Fjeldsæter is a psychologist who has done two tours of voluntary duty as a fieldworker for Médecins sans Frontières in the parts of Liberia and Sierra Leone affected by Ebola. While there, she wrote several accounts of her work with the deadly disease. The story of 5-year old Patrick from Liberia, who amazingly was one of the survivors, has been translated into 20 languages and has become known throughout the world since it was first published in English in The Guardian. In De uberørbare, Fjeldsæter adds stark new human stories to her report. Doctor Fanta, the renowned Congolese senior doctor who may have lost his mind. Ma Boko Dolly, the woman with a moon face and bruises who frightens the nurses by wanting a cuddle. Aisata, the uncomprehending little girl who has to be carried out of the ward where her mother dies. This book gives a hot, topical and gripping insight into the fight against the deadly illness which Fjeldsæter calls ‘the love virus' – the serial killer which is so weak that it can be eradicated by soap and water but whose secret weapon is the affection we show to our nearest and dearest. Ebola is the enemy within, which you pass on to the people who are closest and most sympathetic to you. De uberørbare is not just a story about Ebola, but also an account of how our attitude to events in developing countries affects our capacity to let ourselves be touched. ’…well written, well edited, well informed and full of interesting observations and challenging issues.… The Untouchables is a thoughtful, well written and moving book from one of the darkest corners of the world.’SYKEPLEIEN

The Big Meat Cookbook

Andreas Viestad

This year's book from Andreas Viestad is an inspiring and comprehensive meat cookery book with 200 recipes and tips, together with background information on the animals. This is the book to use to learn to cook perfect roast beef and the juiciest and most tender joint of lamb. It will also encourage and inspire you to use other cuts. Did you know that the most expensive cut isn't always the best? You can make the best hamburgers using brisket and the best casserole using chuck, from the upper back of the animal. If you want to slow-cook meat, there is nothing to compare with shank taken from the lowest part of the leg, which becomes amazingly juicy and tender with slow cooking. This book promotes a thoughtful and balanced consumption, making use of the whole animal and not just the typical beef cutlet. This involves rediscovering old food traditions and developing new ones for our time. The book focuses mainly on pig, cattle and sheep meat with some chicken and shorter sections about other animals including game.

A Good Decision

Nils Tore Meland

Why did I buy a flat with a balcony when I really needed a garage? Which candidate shall I employ? Do we need a turnaround at work? Should I set up this project? These are important questions with major consequences. Decisions are to do with making choices and putting an end to uncertainty and doubt. Unfortunately, an overwhelming mass of good research indicates that more than half of all our decisions turn out badly. Most of us think that it is difficult to make complex choices which involve risk and serious consequences. We put off and wait, or we just leave things as they are. We base our decisions on too much, too little or incorrect information. So we identify too few possibilities and propose inadequate solutions. Or we simply solve the wrong problem. Those who use a little more time, especially at the start of the decision process, identify more opportunities and formulate better solutions. In the whole process they make quicker and better choices, up to six times better in fact. Good decision-making can be both learned and practised to a high standard, and the process can be both exciting and fun. This book will give you seven practical steps towards better decision-making. ’A superbly good book about decision-making. An example for future authors of non-fiction’Elin Ørjaseter ’ … one of the year’s most exciting Norwegian books on management’HR Norge ’… a fantastic book for all who want to develop their skills at making better decisions … which many will get great benefit from reading.’ Hans-Petter Nygård-Hansen ’some of the best I have read on the subject. The book is so elegantly written that the main message never becomes boring.’Edvard Noer Bjørge
