Laura Gustafsson FICTION
HUORASATU
Whorestory is a debut novel that breaks genre boundaries. It hovers between conventional fiction, pornography and chick lit, and is unashamedly over the top in every respect. It raises the middle finger on behalf of all those who have been treated unjustly because of their gender, sexual orientation or social status. First and foremost, the book is a description of how woman was created. Whorestory describes violence against women, but also likens violence perpetrated by men to breeches of animal rights. Despite the weighty subject matter, the novel’s text is light to read: the author combines everyday realism, Greek mythology and fantasy to create a merry mix.
Laura Gustafsson
ANOMALIA
4
Anomalia gives also a voice to those who, for one reason or another, don’t speak or no one listens to. This time, the voice belongs to children, animals and feral children. The book explores issues of human worth and the right to live, but does the human species possess an exclusive right to humanity? Anomalia is a story about humanity in animals and animality in humans. The experience of reading the book hurts, and it shows no mercy for the reader, even during the very last pages. Shutting your eyes is not an option either, for even if the main characters kept quiet, the stones would cry out their story.

FINNISH LESSONS What can the world learn from educational change in Finland Ever wondered how Finland managed to build its highly regarded school system? Look behind the headlines to find out what makes it work and how it evolved. Get the insights and facts you’ll need to contribute to building an effective, low cost educational system at local, national and global level. Pasi Sahlberg recounts the history of Finnish educational reform as only a well-traveled insider can. He details how the Finnish strategy and tactics differ from those of the global educational reform movement, and of the North American reforms in particular. Finnish Lessons goes beyond the facts and figures of Finnish education. Rather than proposing that other nations follow in Finland’s path, Finnish Lessons documents how Finland achieved success without going through the arduous and controversial process of implementing competition, school choice, and testbased accountability. Here parents, educators and policy architects can gain the insight and facts necessary to constructively participate in improving their schools — even in a tightening economy. This book is also a message of hope and encouragement for other nations to find their own way to enact educational reform that works.

100 SOCIAL INNOVATIONS FROM FINLAND One might wonder what a single-chamber parliament, dish drying cabinets and text messaging have in common. Or what the link is between maternity packs, xylitol, the sauna and free school meals. The answer is simple: they are all Finnish social innovations. Finland has significant lessons learned to offer: how a country manage to overcame a ruthless civil war and develope to to a welfare state, how social innovations have led to societal harmony in terms of gender equality, minority rights, free education, and parliamentary democracy and the consequent social stability they create. In Finland, as elsewhere, technical inventions have hogged all the economic limelight, but it is only recently that social innovations have been highlighted as the foundation of societal harmony. Gender equality, free education, universal social security and parliamentary democracy, and the consequent social stability they create, have secured Finland’s welfare. This book, which is both serious and entertaining, presents 100 Finnish social innovations. Available in 22 languages: Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Mongolian, German, Kazakh, Arabic, Tamil and Bengali.

SODANKYLÄ FOREVER
Masters of Cinema Under the Midnight Sun Midnight Sun Forever is the cinematic conversation of all time, based on long, profound, and often riotously funny talks with the best directors in the world – from Michael Powell and Samuel Fuller to Wim Wenders and Abbas Kiarostami, from Francis Coppola and Jacques Demy to Milos Forman – and close to a hundred other raconteurs.

Woodstock is fuckin’ nothing if you’ve been at the Midnight Sun Film Festival. – D. A. Pennebaker in 1987
Five days and five nights in the village of Sodankylä, the heart of Finnish Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle. Where the sun doesn’t set at all in summer. Timeless masterpieces from veteran filmmakers are presented side by side with contemporary films. Leading film critics provide their insight into cinema’s finest classics. Ever since the festival’s origin, its director Peter von Bagh has interviewed the main guests in the famous morning discussions: These sessions form the core of this book.
I hate festivals. The only exceptions are the Midnight Sun Film Festival and a certain Cognac festival. Here I feel I am among friends, among people who love cinema. – Claude Chabrol in 1992

We don’t live in the present alone. The past with all its memories, events and experiences is alive in us. Often, the past is more powerful than the present. – Peter von Bagh in Helsinki Forever Peter von Bagh was a cinema historian, director, screenwriter, award-winning non-fiction writer, radio producer and the editor of the Filmihullu magazine. His main output consists of about 40 non-fiction books, mostly on cinema and history of popular culture, including Elokuvan historia (History of Cinema) and Tähtien kirja (The Book of Stars). His book Kaurismäki Über Kaurismäki (Bonnier Rights Finland) will be published by Alexander Verlag, an extensive artistic work encompassing the life and art of the worldrenowned Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki, and the roots of the cinephilie that moulded him into one of the most personal filmmakers of the world today.

The photographer Jouni Klinga took a cover photo from the end of the beam at the bow of the icebreaker Kontio: I was signalling to the crane-operator while the icebreaker, the size of a block of flats, was rolling on through a broken icefield at 15 knots. On the pack ice, metre-sized chunks flew like flakes as Kontio carved through the virgin ice field. The rumble of the ice-breaker was replaced by the icefield’s remorseless grinding and crashing. I’ll never forget one of the most surreal moments of my career as a photographer.

BRUTE FORCE The story of Finnish ice-breaking Brute Force is an impressively written, lavishly illustrated book about icebreaker ships. It introduces the reader to icebreakers from Finland and other countries and tells about the history of icebreaking equipment.
20
Brute Force is written in a style accessible to the layperson, and covers the milestones in the development of icebreaking technology. Many innovations in the shipbuilding industry have their origins in the specialised area of icebreakers. The world’s largest, most luxurious cruise ships berth using 360-degree azimuth thruster propellers, which were originally developed for icebreakers. The development of technology used in icebreakers, from thousandhorsepower steam-driven icebreakers to modern icebreaking vessels that can go through two-metre-thick polar ice, has required great engineering ingenuity. Available in Finnish and English.

DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? A history of arrogance Ari Turunen’s hilarious book takes the reader to the sources of arrogance and opens up new perspectives on the relationship between cause and effect in events from world history. We all know arrogant, obnoxious know-it-alls from our circle of acquaintances, from work, politics, corridors of power, world history – wherever there has been space for megalomaniacs and ruthless behaviour. There is even a name for this phenomenon: hubris syndrome, a personality disorder concerning the possession of power. Original in Finnish (Atena).

THE SPIRIT OF INTOXICATION History of Drinking Habits
Half of the world’s alcohol is consumed by Europeans. Alcohol is undoubtedly the lubricator in the European cultural heritage. This book takes the reader to short expeditions into the history of intoxication: what has it meant in different eras, what rules and rituals have been involved in getting drunk, and how alcohol has appeared in different European customs. The book reminds us that alcohol has been an essential element in European spiritual life. Drunkenness has inspired literature and arts; it has even been a divine element for many religions and myths. Ari Turunen has an interesting and joyful grasp when he takes his readers through this human history. Original in Finnish (Atena). Foreign rights: milla.karppinen@ intokustannus.fi

BOOK OF POLES Arctic and Antarctic
24
Why is the Antarctic melting slower than the Arctic? What is the northernmost place where you can find a statue of Lenin? Is there anything green in Greenland? The huge commercial fleets are eagerly waiting for the new sea routes, especially the Northeast Passage in the Barents Sea. Technological development, high oil prices and melting of ice due to global warming could allow for exploration in the Arctic. However, there is serious doubt wether the mankind could pay the price in case of a severe accident.
Greenland has been inhabited off and on for at least the last 4,500 years by Arctic peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada. Denmark has established sovereignty over the island. Greenland today is dependent on fishing and fish exports. Despite the fact that melting ice can be perilous for the traditional hunting culture, there are many people in Greenland who actually think melting glaciers could be highly beneficial for Greenland. Timo Forss, Martti Lintunen and Tommi Tukiainen are heroic Finnish travelers and journalists who have been intrepid enough to visit Pyramiden and Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Nuuk in Greenland and Murmansk in Russia. Martti Lintunen went even further; he drove through Alaska and had a pint in a pub in the Arctic. Thanks to Martti Lintunen, an expericed and world-famous photographer, the book is filled with fascinating images. Foreign rights: Iida Simes, iida.simes@rosebud.fi, tel +358 44 2063426.

Hanna Nikkanen
THE WEB RULES Investigative journalist Hanna Nikkanen has written an enlightening, varied book on the sorts of problems that digital internet communications have brought with them. Surveillance technologies used by the security services are expanding more rapidly than the means to shield popular movements from such surveillance, and practices that restrict our fundamental rights are advancing more rapidly than laws to protect those rights. Hanna Nikkanen’s book acts as a prism to open up the multi-dimensional issues – including restrictions on political freedoms, threats to public security, the spread of hate speech, digital class divisions, information leaks, exporting monitoring technology to oppressive regimes and reductions in privacy protection – that have been brought about by ever-increasing online communication and companies to monitor that communication.

PUTIN’S PEOPLE From Crisis to Global New Deal In the West, Vladimir Putin is feared, not loved. He has occupied parts of neighbouring countries, crushed independent media and strangled the fragile Russian democracy in its cradle. But for Renat and Galina in the small town of Shumerlya 600 kilometers east of Moscow this is not what counts. The main thing for them is that their lives have improved under Putin. They have voted for their president, and they say they would vote for him again. Since the large anti-government protests in 2012, Vladimir Putin has turned his back to the urban middle class and followed more conservative, nationalist policies, aimed at consolidating the support of the silent Russian majority outside the big cities. This seems to be paying off, at least in the short run, while the state still can guarantee economic security for ordinary Russians. Available in Swedish (Putins folk, May 2014) and Finnish (Putinin väkeä, September 2014). Fortcoming report book Vi blev ryssar (How we bacame Russians) in January 2015.

Oksana Chelysheva
THEY FOLLOWED ME IN THE STREET
30
“Oksana Chelysheva is a Russian human rights activist, writer and campaigner. A resident of Nizhny Novgorod, she set up a charity to record abuses in Chechnya, the scene of not one but two savage Kremlin wars. In 2006 a court ordered the closure of the Russia Chechen Friendship Society on the spurious grounds of “extremism”. In 2011 Putin enacted an even harsher crackdown on non-governmental organisations. Those that receive funding from the west now officially have to register themselves as “foreign agents”. For Chelysheva, this clampdown was to have profound personal and professional consequences. In her memoir, They Followed Me in the Street, she describes the harassment she experienced first hand from Putin’s secret agents. In 2007 the local bosses in Nizhny Novogorod received orders to halt a “March of Dissent”, a forerunner of the mass anti-Putin street protests that would engulf Moscow and other Russian cities in 2011 and 2012. Chelysheva suddenly found herself in a “spy film script”. Two “heavily built young men” followed her at all times. The following year, 2008, Chelysheva was in Finland when police raided the offices of her human rights group, the Foundation to Promote Tolerance, set up after the Russian Chechen Friendship Soci-

She has not returned to Russia since, leaving behind her mother and teenage daughter. Even in exile, the Kremlin continues to punish her for her human rights advocacy. The book has several colourful vignettes, describing life in Russia, the callous and arbitrary behaviour of state officials, and the rise of a civic movement during the heady perestroika years. It is also very much Chelysheva’s own story, one of exile, separation, and resilience in the face of threats.” Extract from the preface of They Followed Me in the Street by Luke Harding, award-winning journalist and author of best selling book Mafia State: How one reporter became an enemy of the brutal new Russia (Guardian books).

The Great Eurozone Disaster is a valuable resource for both economists and political scientists concerned with modern Europe and worldwide economic and political integration. - H. D. Renning, in CHOICE
The Great Eurozone Disaster demonstrates why Heikki Patomäki is one of Finland’s leading public intellectuals. This compelling and eminently readable book on the Eurozone crisis sides with a revived Keynesianism. It situates economic dynamics in a broader socio-political and above all global analysis that overcomes economistic and nationalist myopia. It engages in a visionary scenariopainting of possible futures that breaks with postWorld War II nostalgia. Patomäki offers a breathtaking perspective that deserves serious consideration by anyone concerned with a progressive and democratic future for Europe in the world. - Magnus Ryner, King’s College London
Heikki Patomäki
THE GREAT EUROZONE DISASTER From Crisis to Global New Deal The last couple of years have seen the eurozone lurch from crisis to calamity. In The Great Eurozone Disaster, Heikki Patomäki dissects the current crisis, revealing that its origins lie in the instability that has driven the process of financialisation since the early 1970s. Furthermore, the public debt crises in the European deficit countries have been aggravated rather than alleviated by the responses of the Commission and leaders of the surplus countries, especially Germany. Providing a captivating narrative about how Europe ended up in its present predicament, Patomäki presents a radical new vision for ‘global economic democracy’ as the only viable way out of the current crisis.

THE WORLD AFTER CHEAP OIL The World After Cheap Oil offers a thorough package of information about oil, its uses and its role in our society’s important sectors. It presents the most prominent substitutes and alternatives, and their limits and promises. It also delves deep into the many risks, problems and mechanisms that can make the world after cheap oil a much more unstable place for nations and humanity as a whole. The book also explains why there has been so little public debate on the subject, and what the future might look like after oil production starts its final, terminal decline.
35
The World After Cheap Oil is a book on oil, its role in our industrialized society, the reasons behind the peaking oil production and why it means the end of cheap oil, and what this all will mean for you and me.
Substantial evidence suggests that we are currently living at the peak of oil production with few prospects for cheap oil ever returning. Yet the media, politicians and regular people have hardly started to talk about what this means. Oil literally runs our societies from transportation to food production to economic activity. Without oil, everything stops. There are powerful arguments that if we fail to increase oil production, we will also fail to grow our economy as a whole. For oil importing western nations the news is bleak, as higher oil prices seem to put a glass ceiling on their economic growth, making current debt problems worse no matter what monetary and economic policies we might choose. Contents of The World After Cheap Oil Introduction 1. Oil 2. The End of Cheap Oil 3. What Instead of Oil? 4. Oil in the Modern Industrialized Society 5.

66 WAYS TO ABSORB CARBON AND IMPROVE THE EARTHS REFLECTIVITY From Reasonable Options to Mad Scientist Solutions The melting of Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, arctic sea ice and Siberian permafrost has caused a rapid shift in the international climate debate. A growing number of leading scientists and governments are now seriously discussing and planning various emergency measures, or geoengineering solutions. Many of the proposed schemes are almost as dangerous as the warming itself, and might actually lead to the end of the world as we know it. Safer and cheaper methods exist, but they have not received as much attention as the Mad Scientist solutions. 66 Ways to Absorb Carbon and Improve the Earth’s Reflectivity is the first book that presents the whole range of existing geoengineering proposals and analyzes the dangers and benefits of each scheme. It also covers a wide range of less known ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Available in Finnish and English.

RETHINKING NUCLEAR POWER Nuclear Electricity and Nuclear Weapons Proliferation (Spring 2015)
40
From the 1950’s until the 1970’s governments and corporations dreamt about nuclear aeroplanes and trains as well as freight and passenger ships powered by small nuclear reactors. The Plougshare programme of the US government searched constructive peaceful uses for nuclear weapons, like excavating canals and the basements of apartment houses and digging mines and gas wells. Project SuperOrion tried to develop a spaceship that would have flown to Proxima Centauri pushed by the detonations of 25 million multi-megaton nuclear weapons. Scientists predicted that electricity provided by nuclear power plants would soon be so cheap that electric meters would become obsolete and unnecessary. Today, everybody understands that such dreams were mere hallucinations, products of an age dominated by an euphoric belief in the limitless possibilities of modern science. Rethinking Nuclear Power asks whether we have already woken up, or whether we are still dreaming. It claims that some of our still existing nuclear programmes are at least as dangerous than the abovementioned earlier proposals.
If we want to produce much more nuclear electricity than we are currently doing, we have to move to breeder reactors that make more nuclear fuel than they consume, because there is not enough (economically available) natural uranium. But if we move to a breeder reactor economy, every transportation of nuclear fuel to a power station provides the terrorist organizations of the future with a new chance of acquiring nuclear weapons. The spread of breeder reactors would also multiply the number of nuclear weapons states. Rethinking Nuclear Power analyzes the political and security choices related to breeder reactors and present kind of nuclear power plants and investigates whether our energy systems really needs nuclear power.

THE OIL PALM CONTROVERSY Problems, Possibilities and Politics Oil palms and other foodproducing palm trees used to be the agricultural mainstay in humid tropics for thousands of years, before the arrival of European colonists, but have since then been largely replaced by westernstyle field farming and cattle raising. Today, extensive oil palm cultivation might offer the most feasible and sustainable way of producing large quantities of biofuels. Unfortunately, many oil palm plantations have been established on the worst possible sites: on tropical rainforest peat massifs, containing vast amounts of organic carbon. The expansion of oil palm plantations in Indonesia has sealed the doom of large rainforest areas in Indonesia and Malaysia. Whole villages have been evicted by infamous paramilitary forces. Plantations established on peatlands have released large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. What kind of palm oil and biofuel policy should we adopt? Should we abandon all the possibilities related to tropical palm trees, or is it possible to produce palm oil in a way that would both alleviate hunger and extreme poverty and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions?

SHIPS, SULPHUR AND CLIMATE Is it a Good Time to Reduce the Sulphur Emissions from Shipping? Sulphur dioxide produced by ships can be harmful for human health when transported by winds over densely inhabited areas. Because of this International Maritime Organization (IMO) decided in 2008 that the maximum allowable sulphur content in ships’ fuel should be reduced to 0.5 per cent by 2020. The present average is 2.7 per cent. But the sulphur spread by ships over the oceans also plays another and very different role: it has a strong cooling impact on our planet. Ships’ sulphur emissions have this far masked a major part of the global warming caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. According to the worst-case scenarios the enforcement of the IMO treaty would roughly double the rate of global warming. Much of the impact would concentrate at the North Atlantic and accelerate the melting of the Arctic pack ice, terrestrial and submarine permafrost and the Greenland ice sheet. This could be dangerous, because the Arctic contains enormous stores of carbon and methane. These frozen greenhouse gas deposits will be released into the atmosphere if the region heats too much.

REBELLIOUS RESEARCH
48
Rebellious research departs from the mainstream social sciences by joining forces with diverse groups of people in the struggle for equality and justice. It takes a stand on social and political issues, is action oriented, and participatory. The concept of ‘rebellious research’ brings together various research traditions, discourses and methods that bind practice and theory into transformative praxis for a better world, such as workers inquiry, critical cartography, public sociology, liberation theology, feminist research and guerrilla history. Rebellious research is a socially committed activity, based on horizontal relations between all those
involved in the research process. The researcher is ethically and politically united with the people and the circumstances in which it takes place and seeks to be effective. The book is a contribution to the debate on what social research should be if it is to be of real value in solving global social and ecological problems. Sample translation in English available.

10 COMMANDMENTS TO THE CHURCH The church has forgotten the political radicalism of Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth was not a lapdog of the mighty and powerful but an insurgent, a liberator of the poor. The Church has distorted the real meaning of the Gospel and tells lies about Jesus. The priest Kai Sadinmaa’s “10 commandments to the Church” is an irresistible book. It is a stumbling block to the establishment. Both believers and non-believers will listen to Sadinmaa’s powerful words. Original in Finnish. 10 commandments: 1. Do not lie about Jesus 2. Stop wooing new members 3. Preach political gospel 4. Quit the investment business 5. Stop favouring the rich 6. Do not bow to power 7. Give up hypocrisy 8. Give up the mass and other forms of magic 9. Let homosexuals love 10. Do not turn the Bible into God

“Chapter 1: Do not lie about Jesus The true Jesus is not the shy, quiet, lamblike Christ described by the church but an untamed and masculine Lion of Judea: he is a man full of defiance and fury. He is not a compromiseprone consensus man but the unconditional master of Nazareth who does not truckle to power and might, does not nod his head, does not bow to every direction condescendingly like a priest so that nobody will be offended. He does not fawn or woo or try to secure a pleasant post before retirement, the taxing right or other perks offered by the church, but leaps straight into the fire without calculating the cost, the pros and cons, caring nothing about his own safety. He gives up everything – family, wife, children, friends, career, success, power, glory, life – but he will not give up freedom. For that he pays the highest price. He fights to the last on behalf of the small man, challenging accustomed practises and traditional habits. He opposes home, religion and fatherland alike so that all people can be sisters and brothers to each other. He does not found a religion but destroys it in the name of the freedom of man, of love, and of God. He tears down oppressing doctrines and dead letters so that we can live, breathe, and love. He attacks the subjugation and enslavement of men. He topples all authorities, breaks fences, crushes prejudices, turns every stone, looks you in the eye, challenges and KAI SADINMAA teases, comes straight writer. is a priest and a o di ra at you, speaks e th of or He is the auth tion and vo De of directly to your nd Ki nt play Differe Redeemer of e Th ay pl e heart through ag st and the own aa has become kn all walls, explaVuosaari.

BUDABEST METRO Budapest Metro is a heavy and hard-hitting non-fiction novel and photographic essay in a collage style. It’s a journey into the deep structures of the cultural history and contemporary life of Budapest. Together with a fascinating gallery of radicals from different times and everyday metro passengers, the book searches for a breakthrough from the vicious circle of our mode of being. Radical construction and movement in the basic structures of the city. The low frequencies in the metro tunnels start to break the apocapitalist order. The underground photographic architecture represents our challenge to create a communal mode of being.
