Hannah Bjørgaas

THE SECRET LIFE OF THE CITY Hanna Bjørgaas is a biologist who spends her days among the penguins and whales in the Antarctic, one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. The tourists she guides pay immense sums to travel there and encounter nature as they will never experience it anywhere else in the world. Or will they?

Here is the starting-point for her project: to walk out of her door and take a non-judgemental interest in the nature she encounters over the course of a year.

Can she experience nature in the city?

The majority of Europe’s population live in towns or densely populated areas, and city nature is the nature most people will encounter.

Byens hemmelige liv 130 x 205 / 240 pages

NORLA S EL EC T ED TITLE

In this book, Bjørgaas tracks down the most fascinating specialist knowledge available to us about the species and nature in cities. But the book is also a declaration of love to the biologists and experts who share their knowledge with commitment and enthusiasm.

AU T U M N 2021

Hanna Bjørgaas holds an MA in biology from the University of Oslo and additional education in outdoor life. With her competence from biology’s traditional disciplines, such as botany and ornithology, she works with communication and interdisciplinary collaborations, for instance with architects and artist. Bjørgaas has a wide and varied experience in conveying the joy of nature to others. She has worked as a tourist guide in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. She has held several field courses and guided trips focusing on plants, fungi and lichen for institutions and organisations such as the University of Oslo and the Norwegian collective organization for biodiversity. She has also worked with small-scale farmers in Brazil, written several popscience articles, and contributed to arrange conferences on ecology and farming. Biology has become more of an obsession than a vocation for Bjørgaas, who admits to feeling a bit naked without a pair of binoculars and a magnifying glass hanging at her neck.

Excerpt from The Secret Life of the City

I have always lived in the city, and I love it. It’s where I feel at home – where I have friends and work and good opportunities for hanging out. The centre of Trondheim, where I grew up, was full of nagging seagulls, and dandelions that we’d plait into wreaths. But nature – that felt like something far away. And I became fascinated by it, and my fascination led me to studying biology, which led to fieldwork, excursions, and very often work out in the wilderness. Biology led me to many of the world’s most untouched places, where I walked round – my eyes like saucers and ears like conch-shells – binoculars and loupe at the ready, ready to absorb every impression, learn and understand.

Why had I never devoted the same amount of time and effort to the nature in the city I lived in?

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 Scotland, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands.

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 prizewinning, five-year investigation, the authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli now 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 nonfiction. The authors start out with a question: What happens when you place a new animal in the fjords? This book is the answer.

‘I am wildly excited. This book will leave a mark.’

KJERSTI SANDVIK, FISHING REPORTER AND AUTHOR ‘Entertaining insight into an industrial adventure, but unfortunately as depressing as losing a big salmon.’

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?

Abid Raja

MY GUILT Norwegian Minister of Culture Abid Raja has been called loud, dominant and a poser.

But his life has in large parts been the opposite: Hiding pain and the handicap he was born with. Hiding from the violence and the bullying. And hiding his feelings for his one true love.

His feeling of guilt – a mixture of shame and fear, has stopped him from acknowledging many of the other feelings he as a person is equipped with.

The only thing he at one point was feeling was rage and anger.

Min skyld 130 x 205 mm / 240 pages

When he, as a grown up, sought help from a female psychologist to find a way to control his temper, she asked him: "Do you have any idea about where this anger comes from? Is there something else in your life that is the real issue that spark this anger?"

This is the brutally honest story about Abid Raja's turbulent journey to rise above his class, his year long fight to be with the woman he loves and the painful liberation from shame, guilt and exclusion.

THE FALL OF THE PATRIARCHY Through history feminists have been ridiculed and harassed all around the World. In the 18th Century well known feminists where decapitated in the guillotines, and in the 19th Century the Suffragettes were thrown in jail. In our time feminist activists are imprisoned in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Feminists are labelled as moody, angry and unattractive. Still, new generations are daring to proudly call themselves feminists.

WOMEN IN BATTLE 150 years of freedom, equality and sisterhood

150 years ago, women and men led very different lives. Women could not vote or make their own money. They had no control over their own bodies. The father would make a womans decisions until she was married. Then her husband would take over.

This changed when women began to organize. In this book writer Marta Breen and illustrator Jenny Jordahl tell the story about the women´s movements many dramatic battles.

Breen and Jordahl have c­ ooperated about a number of book projects, amongst others The F word. 155 reasons to be a feminist a title for which they received the Norwegian Cultural Ministry nonfiction award in 2015, and the bestseller 60 Women you should have known (2016).

LIFE What is life and how did it come about?

In Life, Dag O. Hessen tries to build a bridge between the existential wonder we all feel and the prominent scientists who have attempted to give us concrete answers to these vast questions. The result is an ambitious but fittingly unpretentious and engaging tale of the jaw-dropping series of chances that led to the diversity of life on Earth today.

Life is a plea to the reader to be grateful for the winning ticket that every one of us has drawn, and a hope that a greater understanding of the millions of flukes that resulted in the planet’s diversity will also give us a stronger motivation to protect it.

THE WORLD AT THE TIPPING POINT How bad can it get?

70 000 years ago, there existed a species, comprised of scattered populations of a few hundred individuals each, who generally lived peaceful lives in a corner of Africa. Today, that species consists of 9 billion individuals, and it has begun to fundamentally alter the planet. The species in question is us.

What we are doing to the earth, can be registered on a geological timeline showing hundreds of thousands of years.

So extensive are the emissions of climate gases and the reduction in biodiversity that we caused, during only a brief moment in the long history of the earth.

Dag O. Hessen, professor of biology at the University of Oslo, is not one for mincing his words. science, not fearmongering, he explains the contemporary state of nature and climate – and how badly things may turn out. The great risk factor is the different feedback loop mechanisms that will intensify the changes.

2070 The route to avoiding climate change runs from now to 2070. In 50 years’ time, the green revolution must have happened. In 50 years’ time, we must be fossil-free. That’s how simple it is. And yet, so incredibly difficult.

In this book, Samset shows us how we ended up where we are today, explains the models and climate systems we need to grasp, and gives us hope for the road ahead. If we read the expert literature about climate change we’ll find no shortage of material for fire-andbrimstone sermons. But dystopias won’t inspire us to face the future. So this is a climate book that doesn’t deal with worst-case scenarios (although they are mentioned), but focuses instead on offering hope.

We’re taken on a journey to 2070, following one of the routes we can choose to take to avoid the worst consequences of climate change while also building a sustainable world.

Bjørn H. Samset is a physicist and climate scientist, and is head of research at the CICERO Centre for International Climate Research. Samset is an active science communicator and contributor to the climate debate as well as being a lead writer on the UN Climate Panel and a columnist for Norwegian weekly, Morgenbladet.

HISTORY OF THE PATH A Journey on Foot

The first thing humans did when they climbed down from the trees of the African savannah, 200,000 years ago, was move about. We were nomadic, we had no concept of residence. We walked, and from that the first footpaths emerged. Footpaths came before everything else, before tools, fire, religions and the formation of society.

Footpaths appeared and vanished, and new ones came along; myriads of stories, spun around the earth like the thread in a ball of yarn. I dream about footpaths.

How many have I walked? Hundreds, maybe thousands. I remember them all, clearer than almost everything else I’ve seen or experienced, better than people I’ve ever met.

History of the Path is a tale of movement and sense of orientation, migration and shortcuts, about the migration routes of birds and animals, about the landscape's significance to our lives, about our inherited need to move around, and about what we have lost in an age where everyone sits in an office, drives a car and navigates using GPS.

ADHD

Seven Roads to Fresh Understanding

ADHD – 7 veier til ny forståelse 140 x 210 mm / 232 pages

ADHD is often defined as a psychiatric disorder, but physician and author Kristin Leer, who has ADHD herself, as well as children with ADHD, cannot see ADHD as the diagnosis of a disease.

For the author, it was a relief to find out that she had ADHD. Had she realised earlier that the cause of so many challenges and sorrows – at school, in her professional career, in personal relationships – could be summed up in four simple initials, she would have been spared much frustration and anxiety. ADHD is something you can live with. What’s more, it can sometimes have some surprisingly positive sides.

However, ADHD may also make life feel like an uphill struggle, and the range of functional impairments can be extensive.

The book offers a new perspective on how to understand ADHD, reviews diagnostic criteria and treatments, and offers excellent everyday coping strategies. A better life is possible when ADHD is diagnosed than when it isn’t.

Kristin Leer studied medicine in Warsaw and did her residency at Oslo University Hospital, Aker. This is where she discovered her interest in psychiatry and abandoned her dream of becoming a surgeon. Kristin is a specialist in psychopharmacology and psychiatry, has extensive experience of addiction psychiatry and has taught nurses, and community and social workers about ADHD.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON CHOLESTEROL More than 600,000 Norwegians use cholesterol-lowering drugs to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Does everyone benefit from using them? Could many people avoid the side effects by using food as medicine? And is there really a link between high cholesterol, constricted blood vessels and heart failure?

Nytt blikk på kolesterol 151 x 226 mm / 272 pages

These questions and many more are answered in A New Perspective on Cholesterol, where doctors Erik and Sofie Hexeberg take a deep dive into the role of cholesterol for a healthy heart and give us a new understanding of the causes of cardiovascular disease—the second most common cause of death in Norway.

Sofie and Erik Hexeberg are doctors, dietary experts and authors. They run Dr. Hexeberg's Clinic in Tønsberg and Bærum and are particularly concerned with how patients can improve their health through dietary changes.

A NEW LOOK AT AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES Many who have one or more autoimmune diseases, will hear their doctors say that their diet won’t affect the disease. However, it does! Those are the words by doctors Sofie and Erik Hexeberg, who specialize in treating autoimmune diseases with the help of dietary changes.

You can get rid of chronic inflammation and improve your everyday life with less medication – and maybe even get completely well – by eating antiinflammatory foods. The authors present a new and groundbreaking look at autoimmune diseases and their possible causes. They share the stories of patients who have improved their lives by changing their diets.

Nytt blikk på autoimmun sykdom 151 x 226 mm / 256 pages

The authors propose a model where any food protein could elicit an immune response in a susceptible individual and thereby trigger an autoimmune disease.

For instance, coeliac disease is often regarded as a 'model disease' for autoimmune diseases. But as removal of gluten protein from the diet cures the patient, the disease is not truly 'auto'-immune in any sense. The identification of these specific food proteins forms the tailored diet advice to the patient - advice to eliminate specific food proteins from the diet. Additionally, the diet advice in this book is also based on other general anti-inflammatory diet advice.

The following illnesses have their own chapters in the book: Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis, Celiac disease, Type 1 diabetes, Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism), Hashimoto’s disease (hypothyroidism), Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple sclerosis (MS), Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and Psoriasis. Irritable bowel syndrome is also covered.

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. A Knitter’s Year is a result of this: the desire to knit your own wardrobe, with clothing for every season.

The book covers a whole year, and the photos show Ida and her family in well-known locations in Oslo and eventually at their new home on the island of Engeløya in Nordland, northern Norway.
