WOOF

Tor Åge Bringsværd

“God created all the world, heaven and water, moon and sun. He created the human beings and the birds and the animals. But he did not create the dog. He had one already.”Words of Indian wisdom.Award-winning writer Tor Åge Bringsværd has written a great many novels, short stories, dramatic works and picture books. Now, he is in the news again with WOOF, a book about the dog as it appears in adventure stories, myths and fairy tales from around the world."I didn’t want this book to be about the history of the dog, or a list of the different kinds of dog. People looking for helpful instructions about how to care for a dog or tips about how to teach a dog to fetch sticks have picked up the wrong book. Instead, I have decided to concentrate on all the myths, stories and curious traditions in which this fascinating animal features," Bringsværd tells us about his book.In WOOF, you will find dog creation myths, narratives about the dogs that belonged to gods and witches, the story told by the Nyanga people in Congo about how the dog gave us fire, the Inuit adventure tale about the woman who married a dog and the saga that tells about the dog who became king here in Trøndelag.Bringsværd selects his material from religion, philosophy, myths, comics and films – and from all the corners of the world and all times. Here, we can learn about the many dog languages, and about the dogs who stalk starry skies and fairy tales and hell itself. Most of all, we will learn about the mysterious interconnectedness between two animals , who have wandered on Earth side by side for as long as anyone can remember – the dog and the human being.

COOKING FOR ONE

Adam Bjerck / Kim Arne Hammerstad

This is the cookbook for those cooking for one!Adam Bjerck says that even if you are dining alone, you should dine healthy and well!This is a must-have cookbook for anyone living alone, with recipes for one protion of food. It focuses on fast - and not to expensive - courses that make the cookbook perfect for busy everyday life. Practical week menus make it easy to plan and shop, and make sure that you do not end up with unused ingredients in the fridge. The recipes can of course be doubled - for couples or that extra guest. This book has a great concept: Recipes for dinners for one person, along with a shopping list for the whole week. The book covers 15 weeks with four meals per week, and at the back of the book you can find recipes for smaller dishes like soups, salads, breakfast/lunch, smoothies and baked goods. The shopping list is written so you should only have to shop once a week to get everything you need – and also so you can avoid wasting any leftovers. The book is very clear, with a table of contents that lays things out week by week and two recipe indexes at the back of the book: one sorted alphabetically and one sorted by theme/category. All of the dishes seem feasible to make, you’ll want to cook for yourself, and it’s easy to follow the recipes. This book hits the nail on the head with its concept! Six out of six stars VG

Anorectic

Ingeborg Senneset

An honest, unflinching and unsentimental account of the illness from the inside.How does a patient with anorexia and obsessive-compulsive disorder experience psychiatry? What kind of battles are fought inside a person that wants to end an illness that since childhood has acted as a lifeline and the same time been a lethal threat? What does it take to let go? How much does weight really matter? Through admissions to three different psychiatric facilities for a total of three years, Ingeborg Senneset documented the slow task of regaining control over her own life. Through meetings with the best and the worst sides of health care, paradoxes and conflicts both on an interpersonal and private level, we get the whole story. Anorectic is an honest, ruthless and unsentimental depiction of the inside of the illness and the hospitals by an author that has the unique combination of being a patient, journalist and nurse. "It is not a matter of writing less about eating disorders, as some people has suggested, but simply about writing better. The hard topics should be brought into the light, with all it´s complexity. Writing better means staying away from idealising and romanticising eating disorders, and rather bring out the dry, boring and dangerous facts in a precise way and using a clear language. This book i guaranteed to be free of romanticising."Finn Skårderud, Psychiatrist, professor and writer. "Heartbreakingly insightful, mercilessly self-exposing and brilliantly written about suffering from anorexia. (...) All together a useful book in the treatment of all sorts of compulsive disorders. Ingeborg Senneset is ruthlessly self biographical. Some parts are tragically funny, others will make you cry blood. Every word teaches us something. " Six stars out of six! ADRESSEAVISA "Ingeborg Sennesets dark howl from hell has despite all the pain and anxiety become a documentary that work like a guiding light for all those others. (...) Relatives, therapists and anyone who has ever wondered how this sickness is experienced. Anyone with the slightest fragment of empathy in them should read this book, to understand more about mental illness."AFTENPOSTEN"A merciless, unpleasant and intense story. Ingeborg Senneset writes in a way that makes us want to read. And hopefully there is something to learn."MEDIER24.NO

COLORS FOR THE PEOPLE

Dagny Thurmann-Moe

Did you know that gray cars crash the most and that red cars crash the least? That white, which is used more and more often in both institutions and schools, increases stress, decreases concentration and is a catalyst for headaches? What are colors, why do we need them and what do we use them for? In this book, color expert Dagny Thurmann-Moe battles against an increasingly more colorless existence. She shows us how Norway has gone from being colorful and full of impressions to being a landscape of gray and white, even in the summer. In the first part of the book, she gives an introduction to what colors are, why people need colors, and what we use them for. She explains what a color palette is and how to use it. In the second part, she envisages the use of color in architecture, public spaces, public institutions and on cars. Finally, she shows how we can use colors inside our houses and in our wardrobes, and that colors have a natural place – no matter what style you wish to have.

Kingdom of Frost

Bjørn Roar Vassnes

An award-winning science journalist explains what Earth's frozen waters tell us about the past, present, and future of humanity. "The Kingdom of Frost," or what scientists call the cryosphere, refers to all of Earth's frozen waters. Glaciers, ice caps, and fields of Arctic snow—the cryosphere is vital to our survival. It supplies us with water and helps cool cities from Bangladesh to Bangkok, Los Angeles to Oslo. In this captivating, eye-opening account, esteemed Norwegian writer Bjørn Vassnes interweaves brilliant climate reporting with the fascinating story of Earth's frozen world. He draws on cultural history and anthropology to tell us how the cryosphere once helped to spark life on Earth—and how it continues to sustain us despite its shrinking size. And he answers pressing questions such as: What will happen if it all disappears? ‘Vassnes never get high pitched, there is no alarmism, and no rhetoric about how we are standing at the edge of the abyss. In a hushed manner and with a steady pen, he still makes us aware of the seriousness. Underway to this seriousness we have joined him on an educational journey in the Kingdom of frost.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

Tire Change

Vigdis Hjorth

The man in front of her was sitting very still on a rock smoking a Prince cigarette, now slightly smiling, with his elbows on his knees and his legs opened wide. Apart from their difference in size, he didn't really measure up to her, so why was she interested in him? But that’s something, anyway, she said to herself; she wasn’t going up the hierarchy, like most women, but down the opposite way. Is it so easy, so childish? To do the opposite? What was she after? She was having a break. From herself, from work, the past, the future, her life. Putting off difficult things, demanding things, have a break, rest at his place. It won’t solve the problem. And he isn’t even aware that there’s a problem. That she is not accountable for her actions at the time of the crime, on the run, that he is a kind of shelter. Tire Change (Hjulskift) is a love story about Truls, a car salesman, and Louise, a professor of literature. It’s an intelligent and humorously told story of an encounter between two people who come from opposite ends of the cultural spectrum. "I can do nothing but to bring out the superlatives (…) She dissects difference in class, love, intimacy, art and life in a pure, simple and extremely precise language."DAGBLADET "Hjorths latest publications portraits ever better dilemmas about living a life in the upper cultural layers of the Norwegian middle class. She writes thought provokingly and entertaining (…) Her books is amongst the best that is published in Norway today."KLASSEKAMPEN Rights sold to Denmark, Poland and Sweden.
