Nordisk fluefiske etter laks gir deg en bred, oppdatert oversikt over fluefiskingens hemmeligheter.

Laksefisket utvikles stadig videre, både utstyrsmessig og metodisk, særlig i de nordiske landene. Her får du en bred, oppdatert oversikt over fluefiske etter laks og hvordan utstyr og teknikker tilpasser ulike elver og fiskeplasser. Boken inneholder også en gjennomgang av de laksefluene du bare MÅ ha i flueboksen. Innimellom tar vi del i forfatterens mange skjellsettende opplevelser fra en rekke lakseelver over hele verden. Å jakte på og attrå laks har i dag også et islett av paradoksal sorg over en ressurs som stadig blir mindre og trues av en rekke menneskeskapte påvirkninger.

Vet du hva virus er? I denne populærvitenskapelige og underholdende boken får du bli med på virusenes utrolige reise og lære mer om hva de består av, hvordan de smitter og lager sykdom, og hva som skjer når et virus inntar kroppen.

Virus er enten på reisefot eller så holder de på å pakke bagasjen. De er avlet for å spre seg, og de nøler ikke med å legge ut på langferd mellom kontinentene som usynlige og reiselystne blindpassasjerer.

Virus er forsvinnende små, og koronaviruset SARS-CoV-2 har en diameter på knappe 100 nanometer. Det betyr at en virushær på 10 000 koronavirus som marsjerer på rekke, ikke blir større enn et knappenålshode. Størrelsen til tross, virus kan reise jorda rundt og tvinge en hel verden i kne.

Historien om virus handler vel så mye om sykdommene de forårsaker og skjebnene til menneskene som smittes. I boken kan du blant annet lese om den norske sjømannen som brakte HIV til Norge allerede i 1962, og om Ola Olsen som på grunn av polio lå 26 år i en vippeseng.

Er du redd for virus? Hvis du er villig til å trosse frykten, vil du finne at virusviten er svært nyttig!

Dette er den nye håndboka alle klatrere må ha! Uansett om du er fersk eller erfaren og uansett hvilken gren av klatring du driver med, er Sikker klatring en nyttig bok for deg. Geir Evensen, bokens forfatter, har jobbet med Sikker klatring i over halvannet år, og han ble ironisk nok selv utsatt for en klatreulykke underveis i arbeidet. Boken er bygget på nitidig gjennomgang av over 1000 registrerte klatreulykker i Norge fra de siste 20 årene. I gjennomgangen av dette materialet fant forfatteren ut at klatrere kan havne i farlige situasjoner på grunn av manglende kunnskap, menneskelig svikt eller sløve rutiner.

Boken mener å rette på dette! Med økt kunnskap og bevissthet om sikkerhet i klatring, kan både nye og rutinerte klatrere heve sikkerheten, selvtillitten og eget nivå på klatringen. Boken har et eget kapittel om førstehjelp og redning og et om familieklatring.

Boken har rikelig med informasjon om ulykker og bakgrunnskunnskap og statistikk. Den dekker over alle aspekter ved utstyr og bruk av tau, bremser, bolter og karabiner. Den bruker betydelig med plass på menneskelig faktor og psykologiaspektet ved klatreulykker. Den har også dedikerte kapitler for alle klatredisipliner: Inneklatring, buldring, fjellklatring, sports-, trad- eller isklatring.

Sikker klatring er et oppslagsverk og en lærebok som lærer deg å klatre på en tryggere og dermed mer effektiv måte. Alle aktive klatrere kan regne med å heve nivået sitt noen hakk med riktig bakgrunnskunnskap, gode vaner og rutiner, og detaljert praktisk informasjon.

Journeying by river provides the perfect opportunity to discover new places or see a new side of a familiar destination. Presented here are 50 remarkable and memorable trips chosen because of the stunning scenery they pass through as well as the historic and cultural sites that can be visited from side excursions. Some cover lengthy trips such as a cruise on the Danube that passes through ten countries from its source before emptying into the Black Sea; others are shorter but have a strong, unifying theme, such as Portugal's Douro River that was built on viticulture.

In Southeast Asia, the leisurely pace of a river trip along the Yangtze, Mekong or Ayeryawaddy Rivers allows time to take in the ancient cultures and exotic landscapes. Beautiful countryside, wine-rich valleys and dramatic gorges are the highlights of a river journey; the scenery is constant and ever changing. But as well as the natural wonders, there are also remarkable man-made engineering feats to experience as you pass through intricate lock systems or under state-of-the-art bridges.

All the important landmarks and cities, scenery and architecture are described for each journey, and each one is illustrated with a route map.
