40 WEEKS, A HUMAN PREGNANCY AND 81 OTHER WAYS TO REPRODUCE It takes 40 weeks to grow a human baby, and along the way the relationship between the foetus and the pregnant woman bears resemblance to that of a parasite and its host. One takes and takes, while the other one almost dies in the process. Why do we as humans carry our babies inside our bodies for so long, and is there a reason that we are throwing up and feeling nauseous? Are there any better ways to reproduce? Does any living being reproduce in a stranger way than us humans? Throughout the 40 weeks of a human pregnancy we meet another being who’s finished reproducing each week. The 40 uker, en menneskegraviditet og spotted hyena gives birth after only 16 81 andre måter å få barn på weeks, but she has to give birth through 148 x 210 mm / 248 pages a penis-shaped clitoris, which cracks open during labour. Do they have it easier? The common Surinam toad doesn’t have a uterus, but instead has evolved to have a swollen piece of skin on their backs where the eggs sink in. This way she can carry the offspring with her, instead of leaving the eggs in the water. Are there any signs that it’s actually quite clever how the human body handles it? This book gives evolutionary comfort throughout the troubles of pregnancy and an explanation as to how we ended up here, as the smartest species with the most tiresome, but nonetheless not such a stupid way to reproduce.

Excerpt from 40 weeks: Week 8 The Giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) lies motionless in her cave. She’s stuck her eggs to the roof, they hang down in big clusters, there are a hundred thousand of them. She measures four metres from the end of one tentacle to the other, she is long as a station wagon, and weighed up to 50 kilos when she crept into the cave eight weeks ago. Since then, she has not eaten, not gone outside, not done anything except watch over the eggs. The only movement she makes is to blow water over the eggs with her big siphon, the tube she usually rapidly squeezes water through to shoot her body through the ocean. She makes sure the eggs get enough oxygen, that parasites and algae don’t stick to them. With her sensitive suction cups she strokes the eggs, feeling them carefully, taking care that also those in the centre of the cluster get fresh water. Slowly she starves as she sacrifices everything for the eggs, for the babies, she will lay there until they hatch in about 4-5 months, the amount of time it will take depends on how warm the water is. Does she get hungry, does her digestive system protest when she doesn’t give her body nutrition? I’m lying in my own cave, my dark bedroom. I am an octopus whose only purpose is to take care of my offspring, the embryo inside me. I vomit to make sure no parasites get near my egg, I stroke my hands carefully over my belly, I will lay here for a long time still. I should feel happy there’s a new human growing in my belly, thankful that it’s going well so far, but I can’t. To feel nauseated is not like feeling a little pain in the foot, something I can distance myself from, dull with painkillers and still function. The nausea ruins everything I try to do, and no matter what I do it won’t disappear. I cannot think when I feel nauseated, I cannot take care of my three-year-old while I’m vomiting, I cannot have conversations with my partner while I wait for my stomach to turn inside out again. I can only lie completely still and hope it passes.

There is no better literature than great non-fiction. Written by specialists who are unbound by strict terminology or publication pressure, but in a liberal and relaxed language.

TRACKING THE WOLVERINE

Chasing the animal, the purpose and the memories in a diminishing nature

One day in February 1972 Dag O. Hessen is on a ski trip with his father in the mountains, when they come across a wolverine track in the snow. The young Dag convinces his father to follow the trail, but after half an hour of searching, the imprints of the predator disappear down a steep passage and they have to give up on their hunt. 50 years later he’s back at the same place to pick up on the trail of the animal that escaped him. His father is now long gone, but the mountains are still there. And somewhere out there is a wolverine. The wolverine, and the desire to meet the wild animal, is the framing of the story Jervesporet: Jakten på dyret, meningen og minnene i en taking place in the mountainous nature. krympende natur 130 x 205 mm / 224 pages But this is also a story about time passing and changes we cannot prevent. About everything that slips through our fingers. The things we cannot completely catch and tame: A childhood long gone, close family members who have passed, the wild nature and a natural diversity which is about to weather away. And at the bottom of all of this lies a deep affection and respect for nature and biology, presented by one of Norway’s most respected non-fiction authors.

Excerpt from Tracking the Wolverine: The sky above us is white, below us the snow is white, and these two variations on white meet at the horizon. Brilliant white. The sun is starting to make its comeback after the winter, and is detectable through the white cloud cover. There are clusters of scrawny mountain birches, further down birch forest, then below us a fir-clad valley and in the distance beyond a view of the mountain peaks in the north-west. Father and I are in the mountains. It is the winter holidays and we’ve walked from the cabin, through the forest and off any ski paths, as we have so often. We cross a set of fox tracks, in a dip with willow thicket the grouse have embroidered their prints in the snow, interrupted by hare tracks. Here the grouse have had their roosts, partly buried, partly covered by the night’s light snowfall, before they shook off the snow at sunrise, breakfasted on winter buds, leaving behind nothing but wing prints as a farewell gesture in the fresh snow. The winter mountains stand silent and still, there is little to see, but these tracks tell a mute story of who’s been here, and on rare occasions a dramatic hunting story, with trails of blood in the snow. But mostly it’s just white. Then we cross some tracks unlike any usually found here. The prints are of massive paws, and they run in a straight line from the horizon in the north and disappear over the gentle mountain ridge to the east. “Bear,” I say. “Wolverine,” says my father, who is widely knowledgeable and also a vet. The largest Mustelid in Norway, he says, a relative of the snow weasel and stoat, but with the appearance of a small bear. A creature few ever get to see, and such compact ferocity and strength that there’s barely anything equals it. It doesn’t recoil from the steepest gorge, or a lynx or wolf or bear, and it can take down a reindeer many times its own weight, before biting off its head and hanging it up high in a tree - like a trophy. It has jaws that can chew frozen flesh or crush even the strongest thighbone, and it’s a perpetual motion machine that can go on and on. In short, the wolverine is way off the scale, says my father, a pragmatic man with no taste for dramatic exaggeration.

THE NEW FISH

A global history of salmon farming In the early 1970s, a group of scientists wanted to make more food for the world. They looked to the sea. They sampled genes from 41 Norwegian and Swedish rivers, and designed a salmon that was fatter, more docile, and faster growing. This was the beginning of a new industry, salmon farming. The industry spread from coastal Norway to all corners of the Globe. Jobs were created, business boomed, salmon farmers became filthy rich. A new type of food, the salmon sushi, spread across the world. But as soon as the new fish was let loose in nature, unexpected things started to happen. Wild salmon stocks disappeared, diseases spread in the salmon farms, salmon louse swarmed, and the new industry became highly contested.

In a prize-winning, five-year investigation, the authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli take a closer look at the global salmon industry. For the first time, the whole story of salmon farming has been told. The result combines nature writing from Norwegian fjords with classical muckraking and character-driven literary non-fiction. The authors start out with a question: What happens when you place a new animal in the fjords? This book gives you the answer. '... 365-page exposé in the vein of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring ...' NEW YORK TIMES 'Lies and torture – This book about salmon farming is exceptional investigative journalism.' DAGBLADET  'This is top-class journalism. They ask open questions without moralizing, with an underlying critical gaze.' VÅRT LAND

Excerpt from the Prologue, The New Fish

We thrash about and are a danger to ourselves and to the rest of the life that surrounds us, wrote biologist Edward O. Wilson, who says that today’s world resembles a Star Wars-like civilization with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. “Apart from the fact that we mostly behave like monkeys and have a limited life expectancy, we are godlike,” Wilson writes. With this kind of mentality, our intelligence and creative urges can also be our enemy. This is thematized in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In these works, man uses his brain to create something new and innovative – but the results are terrifying. Goethe describes the tragedy of development, where great ambitions for society upset nature’s balance. For Shelley, the new creature ultimately becomes a monster. On the other side of this cautious attitude is the engineer-like optimist; our intelligence has taken us this far – so it can therefore also be our salvation. Problems are solved with new research and innovation. If the air gets too hot, we’ll invent technology to slow down the heating. If the atmosphere is filled with CO2, we’ll capture and purify more CO2. If there are fewer wild animals to eat, we must produce more domestic animals or change our eating habits. And with fewer fish in the ocean, we have to create new fish to eat. Yes, the fish – shouldn’t we also domesticate the fish?

Stories from an Heir

Haakon 151 x 226 mm / 560 pages

For the past two years, journalist and author Kjetil S. Østli has spent a lot of time with H.R.H. Crown Prince Haakon. The result is a book where the heir to the Norwegian throne himself tells the stories of his childhood, the freedom of studying in California, when he met his wife Mette-Marit, about life as a father, his burning wish to change the world, and about growing older. We accompany him to his secluded family home at Skaugum and to the Royal Palace, to his cabin in the Norwegian Mountains, and on road trips with the Crown Prince himself behind the wheel. We travel to a NATO exercise, to Oslo's east side, and to Windsor Castle. Haakon - Stories from an Heir is an unusually frank, modern, funny and multifaceted portrait of a coming king.

«After grandfather died, we drove from Kongsseter to the Royal Palace. That's when I saw all the candles outside. First a few candles, then more and more, they grew to an ocean. (...) We stood in the windows and watched it. We saw people slowly approach. Everything was very quiet. We saw them light candle after candle. It moved me to stand there in the palace window and see the palace square shining.» Will be known as a masterpiece in the genre of royal biographies 'Although the two have become well-acquainted through this long process, where Østli also has followed the Crown Prince to work and to the cabin and into the mountains, they’ve held the distance that’s completely necessary for this to be a critical, yet close portrait.

THE DAY MY GRANDFATHER died I had been traveling to Hemsedal for a ski trip. I was seventeen. A friend of mine had a driving license and it was to be my first ski-weekend without adults. We had rented a little apartment, and I remember the sense of freedom and excitement on the way to the mountain. When we arrived I thought about Grandad. Not long after that the telephone rang. It was my father. "Your grandfather is very ill. You need to come home, I don't think he’ll be with us much longer." [...] It was Calle who told me. That’s why my father wasn't there. He had gone to make a speech to the country. The family gathered round to watch his speech on the television. He had just lost his father but still had to make a speech. It made a huge impression on me, how he managed it and the way he did it. There we were in this upsetting situation, with so much happening at once emotionally, and yet his role obliged him to do this. We watched the speech on TV. You are impressive, I thought. I remember when my father came back. He gave me a hug and looked at me. Then he said: “How is the Crown Prince?” I’ll never forget that. It was his way of confirming that it had now become so. That King Olav was dead, he was King, and I was Crown Prince.

BEFORE THEY GROW UP

An Attempt to Understand What Children Are Are our children small wonders and mysteries or just stepping stones to adulthood? How have we perceived and treated children throughout history? And how can we get closer to our own children before they grow up? Birger Emanuelsen investigates and explores our perceptions of children. Through a wealth of sources, he writes about the value and importance of children, how we decide how to treat them, and what it really means to be a parent.

Før de forsvinner 130 x 205 mm / 286 pages

Before They Grow Up is a wellinformed documentary novel about the responsibility parents have to prepare their children for the world, and how they can approach doing this. But it is also an up close and personal tale about one of the most fundamental questions of life: What is a child?

Birger Emanuelsen (b. 1982) made his author debut in 2012, and has received several awards for his novels. He's from Southern Norway, where he lives with his wife and three kids. Before they grow up is his first non-fiction book.

Excerpt from Before they grow up, translated by Diane Oatley

So, what is a child? One author who has addressed this subject is the Irish playwright George Bernhard Shaw. In his essay collection Treatise on Parents and Children from 1910, he poses the question that is the starting point for this book. In the section titled “What is a child?” he writes “An experiment. A fresh attempt to produce the just man made perfect: that is, to make humanity divine.” The aspiration Shaw writes about here offers one of the answers in which I often seek refuge: being a parent is, in one way or another, about creating the perfect human being, or at the very least, the perfect childhood. On the surface, this aspiration is replete with promise, not least because it touches upon both the enormity and the possibilities inherent to a new life. Yet the answer also conceals a plethora of sins. The idea of a child as incomplete, as an “experiment” is the same idea that allows us to behave in the most ruthless manner in our interactions with children. Side by side with the perception of the child as something divine that appeared in our world as if out of a hallowed mist, lies an excuse for treating children as we see fit. We use the child as a laboratory for our own ideas and interests. As a battlefield for our own conflicts and crises. Because the child is not solely a child. Children are also our perceptions about the future – and our reckoning with the past. There are different ways of understanding what a child is and I will explore a number of these in this book. At the same time, there are obviously different ways of being a parent.

PARENTING POWER

The Method That Strengthens Your Relationship with your Child

Marco Elsafadi

As a parent you can help your child develop a strong and positive mindset. You can offer help to handle difficult emotions. You can parttake the good times and support the child’s curiosity as it explores the world. But how do you lay the groundwork for this good communication, and how can you strengthen it? In Parenting Power, youth worker Marco Elsafadi offers you the tools you need to get closer to your child. He shares his very best techniques on how to meet and understand your child in the best possible way – as well as how you can recognize the pitfalls when they first appear. It really all comes down to investing the Foreldrekraft time and effort – what you put into your 148 x 210 mm / 256 pages relationship with your child while they are still living at home. Which questions should you ask, and which conversations should you have? The fights between parent and child can seem unnecessarily large if you don’t understand each other when situations arise. When you take their feelings seriously, your child will learn that they can come to you and share news, get support and comfort. Their safe haven. If the child feels loved, prioritized, and acknowledged, the desire to explore will come naturally and the chances that they will become a confident and independent young adult is high – which again will create strong and healthy relationships with other children and adults. Marco Elsafadis’ reflective, whimsical, and warm style of narration will both engage and touch anyone who reads this book. His goal is to help you become a calmer, more confident and harmonic parent, whose appropriate and constructive reactions become a natural part of your reflexes. By following his methods, you will be able to better connect with your child – right now, but also later in life.

Marco Elsafadi (born 1976) is a Palestinian refugee who arrived in Norway with his family in 1987. He was a professional-level basketball player and represented the Norwegian national team for 12 years. In 1993 Marco began his involvement with children and young adults, and in 2002 he established the organization New Page, which up until 2011 worked with youths in difficult situations: drug problems, skipping school, leisure problems and violence. Today he's the leader of UNIFY, a foundation which works preventatively and is forward-looking by offering to follow up youth groups through weekly activities and environmental therapeutic meetings.

Sex is an important part of a relationship. Some believe it is the very glue in the relationship, but do you know what the key to good everyday sex over time is? It is neither technical skills nor synchronized orgasms that are most important. Couples who have good sex over many years primarily have a solid friendship at the bottom. A friendship characterized by mutual trust and admiration. And then they prioritize sex. Even though they are busy and have a thousand irons in the fire, they choose to spend time being intimate with each other. They make room for it, because they have experienced that everyday sex strengthens their closeness and sense of belonging.

A Knitter’s Year contains a total of 30 patterns, many of them new and exclusively designed for this book. Knitted clothing has become important for many people in a time of increasing focus on slow fashion and sustainability. Because we take extra good care of clothes we make for ourselves, choosing materials and colours we are fond of and will want to wear for a long time. And because a person who knits knows how much work goes into every single piece of clothing.

Ida Wirak Trettevik (b. 1989) is the woman behind Witre design, a website of knitted clothes and patterns. She is followed by more than 30,000 Instagram users. The first patterns launched in 2018, and from the start, Witre design has been about finding a modern expression for knitted garnments and designs, creating patterns that will inspire to knit one's own wardrobe – piece by piece. A strong motivation behind the concept is also to help knitters create pieces of good quality and longevity, adjusted to the individual knitter's own preferences.
