Friction

Øyvind Kvalnes

Friction is the form of dissent which leads to better decisions and results. Friction is a social phenomenon. It occurs everywhere humans meet. It provides useful resistance, and handling friction in a good way is crucial to avoid an argument escalating into a conflict leading to crimes or large lawyer’s bills. Through this book the reader becomes better equipped to understand what friction really means, why we need it and what is needed in order to mobilize the friction and keep things on the right keel. Friction is necessary to achieve good and correct results and decisions. Through current conflicts and examples from science, philosopher Øyvind Kvalnes shows how important voices of dissent are in order to achieve a good result. Without opposite opinions and dissent we cannot learn anything. This is however a power that needs to be controlled. Boundless friction can be scary and paralyze people from fear.

A Year of Birds

Torbjørn Ekelund

Sometimes you discover something new, or see something familiar in a new way. The space expands. The world gets bigger. A curtain is pulled aside, and you see into a parallel universe. With these words, a journey begins. Not across continents, but into the small things that surrounds us. When epilepsy forced journalist and amateur ornithologist Torbjørn Ekelund to abandon his plans for a globe-spanning bird book, his world shrank to the local woods of Maridalen, his garden, and a small cabin by the sea. But in that shrinking, something expanded. Told through a series of diary entries over the course of a year, A Year of Birds follows Ekelund’s growing awareness of the birds around him. At the beginning of the year, he knows almost nothing about birds. By the end of the year, he knows a little more. He watches blackbirds and bullfinches, observes gulls and geese, and lets the ordinary transform into the extraordinary through simple, sustained attention. This is a book about birds but also about perception, limitation, and the beauty of staying still. It is about discovering nature not in far-off landscapes, but right where you are. With warmth, humour, and a quiet existential undertone, A Year of Birds invites us to look more closely, live more attentively and see the world anew.

Bird's-Eye View

Dag O. Hessen

Bird's-Eye View is a fascinating journey through two centuries of landscape changes and human intervention, seen through the eyes of migratory birds. By following their routes from 1825, 1925 and 2025, we get a unique and dramatic insight into how the landscape has changed over time, into the fragility and durability of nature, and how humans have shaped life on earth. Written by award-winning author and biologist Dag O. Hessen, the book combines scientific facts with gripping stories about bird species and their incredible migrations, and gives us a deeper understanding of nature's beauty and vulnerability. With a focus on European landscapes and birds of paradise, as well as personal stories from the rugged west coast of Norway, this is a book that informs and inspires. Bird's-Eye View is a tribute to the world of birds and a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural landscapes for future generations. «It is well-written, easy to read and fascinating - despite the fact that the content shows a bleak development. Hessen has a warmth towards nature, this time the migratory birds, and it is written with love, fond memories, recognisable depictions of bird sounds around us, bird boxes, hunting for beautiful bird eggs.»VG, five/six stars «Dag O. Hessen's book about the birds' threatened life is unique knowledge dissemination.» Klassekampen «A skilled and clear communicator.»Stavanger Aftenblad, five/six stars «The lives of birds are secretive – and precious. That is the feeling I am left with after reading biology professor Dag O. Hessen's book, which is perhaps not so much written for bird enthusiasts, as for readers who admittedly like birds, but who lack a bird book and binoculars – and who need to be initiated into their world.»Harvest

Ocean All Around

Kirsti MacDonald Jareg

Ocean All Around erases all national borders, and draws a living portrait of the North Atlantic ocean; the historical, cultural and genetical melting pot that shares a Norse and Celtic heritage. The reader gets up close and personal with the island people and their traditions, myths and histories, triumphs and tragedies which show how nature and ocean has shaped – and still shapes – life on the islands. For as long as people have inhabited the North Atlantic coast, they have shared the deeply human urge to explore the unknown. Humans should perhaps have been born with gills and webbed feet, because as soon as given the chance, they would sail out to sea, risking their lives. Before the current maps and borders were drawn, people would go island hopping between Norway and Shetland, Orkney and the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, Ireland, the Faroes and Iceland without having to think of passports and custom controls. They braved the waves in log boats, light currachs, clinker-built ships, fishing boats and schooners. They traded with each other and married each other, inspired each other or repressed each other. Islands are communities in miniature. When you’re surrounded by ocean as far as the eye can see, islanders are in the same boat, so to speak. They all depend on each other. To live on an island can be claustrophobic, romantic, windy, grim, lonely, frustrating, peaceful – but never boring.

No One Thinks Alone

Bjørn Gregory-Stærk

Is it too difficult in modern society to change your mind? Or too easy to simply adopt the mindset of those around you? Bjørn Stærk went from being deeply religious to becoming a Christian-friendly atheist in his youth. He later became a right-wing populist blogger, but moved towards the political center. He was on the verge of becoming a climate skeptic, but is today involved in the Green Party. In this book, he explores the question "What does it mean to change your mind?" What triggers a change of mind in ourselves and others, how does the change occur, and can we become better at it? Based on his own experiences, a diverse research literature and conversations with people such as Sidsel Wold, Paul Chaffey, Emil Erstad and his own father - who is a Christian conservative - Stærk takes the reader on a journey that challenges popular myths, such as that changing your mind is unusual or that people are too easily influenced. We think together with the groups we feel at home in, for better or for worse.

Nothing Will Ever Be The Same

Gaute Børstad Skjervø

“For a long time, the adults believed that reason had won. That war was a thing of the past. That the future automatically meant democracy, freedom and peace. They told us the world would improve on its own. That idea is extremely naive. And it has cost our generation dearly,” writes Gaute Børstad Skjervø. He was just 16 years old when he survived the 22 of July terrorist attack by hiding in a crevice on the Utøya island. One of the older youths—just 20—told him that, being the youngest, he had to hide deepest in the crevice. Later, they swam for their lives as gunshots echoed across the island. After 22 July 2011, Skjervø became an involuntary expert on extremism and fascism. Today, he is the leader of the Norwegian Labour Youth Party (AUF) and one of the most promising young politicians in Norway. He still carries in him an anger which he wants to use to fight against the forces that took the lives of his friends, and to fight for the community. This is his personal story. A young man’s political awakening. And his powerful answer to the young people and parents who fear for the future: «I have seen the darkest in people, but also the brightest.» «AUF leader Gaute Børstad Skjervø writes well about a generation shaped by the crises of the 2000s – and their naive parents.»DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV «A razor-sharp political message in book form.»VG
