Our Earth is more beautiful and more diverse than we can possibly conceive of. The Book of Vanishing Species is a stunning homage to the planet's most mysterious, bizarre and wondrous creatures and plants. Their stories are captivating, from the eyeless and tiny dragonlike olm to the hawksbill turtle, whose gender will be determined by the temperature of the sand it is born in.

These species may have survived for hundreds of thousands of years by cleverly adapting to their environments, but their future remains far from certain. The book brings to life red cranes as they dance and bow for the sheer joy of movement, trees that breathe out a haze of misty atmosphere for insects that only feast on one kind of flower, a deep-ocean snail quietly building its shell from iron... and each one of them is illuminated with an exquisite illustration.

As you turn the pages, there emerges a network of life that stretches across and around the planet in a dazzling web of existence. This is both a love letter to life on Earth, and an urgent summons to protect what is precious and lovely in this world.

Synes du at livet er best ute? Da er denne boka for deg. Friluftsliv handler om gleden i å forlate det moderne livs komfort, om bare i noen timer. I skog og mark, eller på fjellet, er man fri til å være den man er.

Friluftslivet består i å komme seg bort; bort fra jobb og hverdagsliv og sosiale krav. Det handler om å puste fritt, om frihet, enkelhet, rom for tanken, og om å være glad naturen.

I «Livet er best ute» tar Peder Anker oss med på en personlig vandring gjennom friluftslivets historie, kultur og filosofi. Det går for det meste gjennom et mykt lettgått terreng, med en og annen bratt utfordrende skrent. For det må til for å nå fjellets topp. Og der tar vi en pause og hviler tankene. Dette er en vardet tur fra start til slutt, med noen avstikkere til fine utsiktspunkter. God tur!

Through his bold flavours at the eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant, Niklas Ekstedt ignites our primal fire-side instincts. His abandonment of modern technology may be a little difficult to replicate in your own kitchen, but his spirit will convince you to get back to basics where you can.

The restaurant, Ekstedt, is at the very heart and centre of the book, providing the foundation for Niklas' stories of seasonal, and regional, traditional Swedish cooking. Dishes from the restaurant, and in the pages of this sumptuous book, include braised lamb shoulder with seaweed butter and wild garlic capers, juniper-smoked pike and perch, ember-baked leeks with charcoal cream, pine-smoked mussels, and wood-oven baked almond cake.

Stunning photography from David Loftus brings Niklas' recipes and the Nordic seasons to life.

Jordkloden med sine fjell, sletter og havbassenger har alltid vært under endring, drevet av kontinentbevegelser, vulkaner og istider. Men i dag er det menneskets aktiviteter som bidrar mest til endringene på jordoverflaten. Spor i stein gir et sveip over jordklodens dannelse, oppbygging og de geologiske prosessene. Mennesket har lært å utnytte de geologiske ressursene til råvarer, matproduksjon og energi. I utgangspunktet til glede for menneskeheten, men etter hvert også til stor skade for vårt bomiljø. Hvor mye natur må vi ofre for å gi flest mulig et verdig liv? Denne boka legger fram de faglige premissene som er en forutsetning for å kunne treffe kloke beslutninger om vår og våre barns fremtid.
