The northernmost portion of Canada is enormous in area but very lightly populated. The westernmost portion is Yukon, which is on a different map. The middle portion is the Northwest Territories, with its capital at Yellowknife. This vast territory covers from the 60th parallel to the Arctic Ocean but is mostly inaccessible except by air. A new gravel road has been extended from Inuvik to a small town on the Arctic Ocean known as Tuk (because its full name of Tuktoyaktuk is a bit of a mouthful). One can only reach this road via the Yukon and the Dempster Highway. The normal road access to the main part of NWT is from Alberta, with a paved highway to Yellowknife. An inset of the city is included.

The second side of the map presents Nunavut, Canadas newest political entity, which is celebrating its 25th year of existence this year. Nunavut has no roads except in the few small towns that exist. Its capital is Iqaluit (which means Place of Fish), at the head of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island. This territory covers an expanse much larger than all of Europe, but has only about 30,000 people. Needless to say, the territory struggles to perform essential services. We have added a red-dashed line to show the route of the Northwest Passage, a largely ice-filled channel that is quickly becoming navigable due to global warming. This is a fascinating, off the beaten path type of place, so add it to your bucket list!

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: The West African country of Sierra Leone is one of the hidden gems of Africa. A relatively stable and peaceful country, it moved into independence easily. English remains the common language of communication, which is nice. The only urban area of any size in the country is the Capital, Freetown. The name dates from the time of the American Revolution, where slaves who fought for the British army were given sanctuary far from the rebellious whites determined to re-enslave them. Rather than having a Top Attractions list, we have devoted a considerable amount of space on the country side to note its history and points of interest. Side 2 is a detailed map of Freetown, with an inset map of the nearby Peninsula Mountains. Freetown boasts the largest natural harbour in the world and has a 500-year-old Cotton tree in its town centre. This is definitely a country worth visiting!

The American State of California has almost as many residents as all of Canada. I wonder how many of them are ex-pat Canucks? Regardless, this double-sided map shows the attractions of the state in amazing detail. Side 1 concentrates on the northern half, with a large inset map of San Francisco. A fairly large portion of Nevada shows as well, but with less detail.

Side 2 continues south to the Mexican border and east to Arizona, with a detailed inset map of central Los Angeles included. By the shape of California, all of southern Nevada is included as well, including the all-important wasteland of Las Vegas. All motorways are clearly shown, including those in greater Los Angeles. All state highways are also shown, as well as most secondary connecting roads. Parks, points of interest, beaches, redwood forests, and distances between major communities are also shown. The state is blessed with interesting offshore islands, such as Catalina, San Clemente, and the Channel Islands, all of which are included.

Gunnar Garfors er kjent for å ha reist verda rundt. På sine turar har han møtt menneske frå mange ulike kulturar og samfunn. Når Garfors er på reise, er det nysgjerrigheita som driv han. Hans vennlege og opne vesen gjer at han lett blir kjent med folk der han er.

I boka Ingenstad – på tur til verdas minst besøkte land tek han oss med til dei 20 landa i verda færrast av oss vel å reise til. Han har vevd opplevingane sine saman til ei lett og ledig bok. Vi blir med på ei personleg ferd og kjem tett på menneska forfattaren har møtt i land som Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Nauru, Mauritania og Komorane. Nokre av dei har du knapt høyrt om, andre gir neppe andre assosiasjonar enn krig, terror og elende. I Ingenstad møter du mellom anna ein særs imøtekomande statsminister, verdas beste sjokolademakar og ein mangobonde frå Jemen – landet som ein gong hadde fleire hundre tusen turistar i året.

I ei tid prega av konflikt og krig vil forfattaren inspirere oss til å bli kjent med delar av verda som skil seg frå vår eiga, men som mange knapt vågar å reise til. Kanskje vil ei breiare forståing av andre nasjonar, trusretningar og verdsoppfatningar gjere noko med deg som lesar og korleis du ser på verda. Kanskje ville vår klode kunne bli ein betre og vakrare stad om fleire reiste utanfor eigne komfortsoner.

Ingenstad tek deg med til nokre av dei mest fasinerande stadene i verda.

1. september 1939 gikk Hitler inn i Polen, og andre verdenskrig var i gang. Norge erklærte seg nøytralt, men et halvt år senere, 9. april 1940, invaderte tyskerne likevel landet. Kongen og regjeringen forlot landet for å drive kampen videre fra London.


I årene som fulgte, valgte mange unge norske kvinner og menn å bli del av motstandsgrupper, ofte med stor fare for eget liv. Noen av disse gruppene dro til skogs for å drive motstandsarbeidet derfra. Dette er fortellingen om en slik gruppe.


Boka er skrevet av Loe, Schreiner & Johannessen som er teamet bak NRK-serien «Kampen for tilværelsen».
