Where Nobody would have Though that Anybody could Live

Oddgeir Bruaset

The book Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu is based on one of the most popular Norwegian TV documentary series of recent times.What is it about this programme that has kept it popular for twelve years? That is the question which this book sets out to answer. We meet people who have chosen a different life, far from the restless urban milieu. People who want a simpler life, but who also have the courage to uproot and actually choose that life. A life where satisfaction with a hard day's work is betterreward than a ‘like' posting on social media.Bruaset writes about eleven places and the people who live there.What these people have in common, is that they have sought and found the good life in a remote place. Encouraging stories and gripping life-histories.

Fun with Yarn in Rosendal

Turid Lindeland

The inspiration for this book came from an old sock pattern and an old hotel in Rosendal in Hardanger. Turid Lindeland has given the traditional patterns a modern twist both in terms of colour and choice of models. Her vision is to be mindful of old handicraft techniques, here in terms of knitting and crocheting, and make durable products suitable for daily wear and tear. Here you'll find patterns for blankets for young and old, socks for big and small, cushions with and without patterns, covers for chairs, photo albums, mobiles, computers and much more. The difficulty level varies from very simple to that which requires a little more time and skill.

Good enough for those Bastards

Anita Krohn Traaseth

Anita Krohn Traaseth is a top manager who is not afraid to tell her story. She defends who she is and says that who you are and what you do is good enough. It is not about being perfect, but about being real. If you're going to reach the top, you need to let go of perfectionism. In this book, Anita Krohn Traaseth writes in a personal and humorous way about her road to the top, about daring to be seen, rising to challenges and embracing working life with all the joy, challenges and possibilities it provides for personal growth. She provides advice for those struggling to find their place between being a manager in an enclosed space and new openness where we cheer one another on and dare to be noticed in both meeting rooms and in public like the fallible people we are. This is a modern management book for those who want it all: a great job and a family. 49.000 copies in print in Norway! Win or disappear ‘Good enough is undoubtedly a useful motto for clever girls of both genders.’ DAGSAVISEN Women reach the top ‘Good enough for those Bastards is in any case a much more truthful and refreshing formulation which permits the disclosure of the arrogance which exists in the career world. It’s impossible not to appreciate Traaseth’s frankness.' DAGBLADET

A Garden Designer’s Approach

Yvonne Dengin

We decorate our terraces and gardens to create ambience and make our mark on the great outdoors, and we extend the season using outdoor seating areas, sheltered terraces, heat lamps and wood burning stoves. Garden centres and interior design shops are full of enticing odds and ends, but when the weather turns it is extra important to maintain a holistic approach to positioning, size, shape, lines and materials. Decorative items should be the icing on the cake and chosen carefully. Some people furnish their gardens with humour and playfulness, others want to create a romantic atmosphere, and others are more concerned with symmetry and order. Dengin describes classic and modern garden design using both formal and more informal approaches, providing tips and advice about which decorative elements are best for you. Look at the bigger picture and how furniture, lighting, water features, pots, plants and decorative elements can come together as a whole. Practical, exuberant and inspiring advice about how to make your garden your own.

A Whole Garden in Pots

Yvonne Dengin

Hele hagen i krukker is a gardening book with a difference – because you don't even need to have a garden! If you only have a patio, whatever the size, you can still create your own garden by planting in pots. Nearly everything you usually find in a garden can also be grown in pots and tubs. Even fruit trees! And it is easy to create your own style – a varied selection of pots and plants can give you everything from a romantic garden with curved lines, lush, oldfashioned geraniums and roses for a stylish garden with simple shapes and ornamental grass in pots. A pot is a sculptural eye-catcher providing opportunities for cultivation, says author Yvonne Dengin, and she's so right!

Hjalmar Dale – The Forgotten Adventurer

Hjalmar Dale – The Forgotten Adventurer

Randulf Valle

In the winter of 1927–28 Helge Ingstad and Hjalmar Dale were fur-trappers in the Canadian wilderness. Four years later Ingstad published Pelsjegerliv and secured his place in Norwegian literary history. The book has been very influential as an inspiration forgenerations of wilderness explorers.This new book about Hjalmar Dale is partly a biography and partly a description of the pioneering time in Canada. Hjalmar Dale lived among the fur trappers and gold prospectors. He was attracted to adventure and he travelled through huge wildernesses by canoe and dog team. The blank spaces on the map disappeared gradually, and Dale's death marked the end of the pioneer time.If Helge Ingstad and Hjalmar Dale had not met, Pelsjegerliv would never have been written. Ingstad might just have come home after two unsuccessful years in Canada. He would never have been to Greenland and never have been District Governor of Svalbard. Many of the people who were inspired by Ingstad might perhaps have led quite different lives. Lars Monsen might never have crossed Canada; Robert Sørlie might never have raced dog teams; and Stein P. Aasheim might have got a proper job. 'Hjalmar Dale from West Norway was Helge Ingstad’s teacher. Randulf Valle’s biography gives a vivid picture of his life as a tracker in the wilderness of Northern Canada a hundred years ago. (…) Hjalmar Dale is the most significant supporting character in one of the most important books in Norwegian literature. So he deserves a biography of his own. Valle’s book can also be read in relation to Ingstad’s Pelsjegerliv (The Life of the Fur Trapper), and the author points out how this book differs from Amundsen’s and Nansen’s books: Ingstad’s book is not about mapping new lands, an era of scientific discovery and the national renown which follows..'DAG OG TID 'Randulf Valle’s book is both authoritative and well-written. It will be of interest to all who want to develop a thorough understanding of how people have done their utmost to explore new regions and make use of the natural resources to be found there. This is both a biography and a cultural history.'GUDBRANDSDØLEN DAGNINGEN 'Randulf Valle’s book about seeking an alternative life in the wilderness is fascinating. Many people know of Hjalmar Dale through Helge Ingstad’s debut book, Pelsjegerliv, published in 1931. Valle achieves a fine balance between good story-telling and accurate history.'NULL
