Fra ITM: This is the third set of artwork for Great Britain that we have published and the first that is completely our own artwork (the previous versions were joint ventures). In mapping, as in life, one has to differentiate between the political entity known as the United Kingdom and the geo-political reality of Greater Britain, which includes the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and various assorted entities that are loosely attached to the UK by history. We have tried, in this edition, to combine a detailed road map with a touristic sites map. Given that Britain is both densely covered by thousands of narrow laneway passing themselves off as sub-B level roads and by having the greatest treasure trove in the world of castles, manor houses, gardens, museums, and interesting places worth visiting, and the task of portraying all this information becomes formidable. To keep the map from becoming too cluttered, we had to compromise, so if you don’t find the little laneway leading to your favourite pub in Devon, sorry. We've done our best to portray Britain as positively as possible, so if you're hankering to visit Foula Island, it's on the map!

City map Zurich and Road map Northern Switzerland.

Switzerland is a lovely country to visit, albeit rather expensive, and is conveniently located in the heart of western Europe. Zurich, as a city, is not only commercially important but is a lovely city to visit and enjoy. The Old Town is a walking paradise, with stores intermingled with squares and churches, and the hilly nature of the city brings photographic images to the forefront with each turn of a corner. ITMB publishes a separate map of Geneva on one side and all of Switzerland on the other side.

For this title, we have expanded the scale and filled the reverse side with and easy-to-use regional map of North-western Switzerland, combining the city with its hinterland. Being a rather small country, this results in a map covering most of the country, from Lausanne in the southwest and Basle on the north to Chur on the east and Montreux in the south, so the far east and south of the country are excluded.

Fra ITM: As a worldwide mapping firm, ITMB has, of course, published wall maps of the world, but until now, we have not been able to offer a convenient folded version of the world. This map portrays the world politically, with large countries showing provincial/state boundaries, as well as a good selection of cities. A map of the world involves a certain amount of political juggling in order to be acceptably accurate while noting areas of political sensitivity Thus, Ukraine is shown with its traditionally accepted borders, despite Russia’s incursions, Gaza is far too small to show, but we do name Palestine. Taiwan is in a different colour than mainland China, Western Sahara is noted by colour but not named as it doesn’t exist except in the fevered imaginations of certain countries, and the Gulf of Mexico has its normally-accepted name. Antarctica, unfortunately, does not show well. Basic time zone clocks are noted at various parts of the margin, and Spitsbergen is noted by its Norwegian name of Svalbard. Apologies for any inadvertent errors, but it is extremely difficult to prepare a map of the entire world that doesn’t offend somebody. Suggested improvements are welcomed.

Side 2 is very interesting, in that it shows the flags of all accepted countries in the world, alphabetically arranged, with the location of each entity noted as to where it is on the map side, along with basic information as to area, capital city, and population. This last aspect is as good as census information can provide. India remains the most populous nation on earth, with China a close second and the USA a distant third. Canada, as usual, is the largest country in the free world, with a population density that is one of the lowest in the world.

En perle av en bok fra en av Sveriges aller fineste forfattere!

kke noe sted i Sverige har så rik fauna av sommerfugler som Stockholms skjærgård. Forfatter og entomolog Fredrik Sjöberg har gjennom arbeidet med denne essaysamlingen funnet alle sammen. "Mine studier har beregenet at det totalt finnes 78 ulike dagsommerfugler i Stockholms skjærgård. Rikdom kan måles på mange vis. Denne er en av de aller beste", sier Sjöberg selv. Selv om boka skildrer alle sommerfuglene som finnes i skjærgården, er den ikke en feltguide, men en samling personlige fortellinger som lokker, forundrer og er full av kunnskap. Boken er dessuten rikt illustrert med akvareller fra tidlig 1800-tallet.

«Ingen mann er en øy handler om gjenoppbyggingen av Utøya. Jørgen Watne Frydnes ble ansatt for å lede dette arbeidet. (...) AUF ville 'ta Utøya tilbake' het det allerede i 2011. (...) Det de unge som overlevde massakren ikke tenkte på, var hvordan planene virket på foreldrene som satt igjen uten barn. (...) Frydnes skriver om disse konfliktene på en god og varm måte. (...) Boken blir dermed en interessant studie i vår kollektive sorgprosess.»
Gunnar Kagge, Aftenposten
Etter angrepet på Utøya 22. juli 2011 var AUF fast bestemt på «å ta øya tilbake». Det skulle vise seg å bli en komplisert prosess. De fysiske og psykiske skadene var enorme, og protestene var ofte voldsomme.

Etter angrepet på Utøya 22. juli 2011 var AUF fast bestemt på «å ta øya tilbake». Det skulle vise seg å bli en komplisert prosess. De fysiske og psykiske skadene var enorme, og protestene var ofte voldsomme. Denne umulige oppgaven ble i all hovedsak lagt på en persons skuldre, Jørgen Watne Frydnes.

Ingen mann er en øy gir oss et unikt innblikk i hvordan den konfliktfylte prosessen har vært for tusenvis av etterlatte, pårørende og overlevende, med en liten øy i Tyrifjorden i sentrum. I dag er Utøya, med daglig leder Jørgen Watne Frydnes i spissen, i toppsjiktet av historieformidlingssteder i verden. Det nye Hegnehuset, som omkranser det gamle Kafebygget der 13 mennesker ble drept, er flere ganger kåret til et av verdens viktigste nye bygg.

I Ingen mann er en øy blir leseren tatt med på ettertenksomme gåturer rundt Utøya gjennom fire årstider, der det vakre og det grusomme går hånd i hånd, og der fortiden avdekkes lag for lag. Hvordan har det vært mulig å skape noe meningsfylt ut av det meningsløse?

Bli den beste versjonen av deg selv som løper! Uansett om du springer 3 kilometer eller 5 mil vil denne boken forandre ditt syn på løping og gi deg en dypere motivasjon og mening i det du gjør.

Emelie Forsberg er profesjonell fjelløper og verdensmester i sin sport. Men det som først og fremst gjør henne til en inspirasjon for andre, er hennes enorme løpeglede. Sky- og trailrunning handler om så mye mer enn å løpe i fjellet. Det handler om en livsstil og en måte å forholde seg til livet, løpingen og naturen, om storheten i det uendelige så vel som i det lille. Om letthet og lek, om hengivenhet. Om at vegen tross alt vanligvis er viktigere enn målet, og at det i blant gir så mye mer å ikke ta den enkleste ruten.

I boken Sky Runner deler hun sine erfaringer som løper på toppnivå, i tillegg til øvelser, teknikktips og matoppskrifter. "Vi er alle skapt til å springe - det er bare å sette den ene foten foran den andre." Emilie Forsberg bor tett på fjellet i Rauma i Møre og Romsdal, sammen med kjæresten Kilian Jornet. Han av verdens mest meritterte fjelløpere og har tatt bokens spektakulære bilder.

I sin nye bok analyserer professor Ole O. Moen USA slik verdens eneste supermakt nå fremstår under president Barack Hussein Obama - både i lys av vår samtid og USAs særegne historiske tradisjoner. Presidentvalget i 2008 var på flere vis begynnelsen på et nytt kapittel i USAs moderne historie. Moen beskriver de nye trekk som nå avtegner seg i den politiske og kulturelle hverdag.

Denne boken forteller historien om dette landet i en ny og annerledes tidsalder. Det er sterke bånd som knytter Norge til USA. En naturlig konsekvens av dette er at de fleste nordmenn mener seg å kjenne USA. Onkel Sam er en gammel kjenning, men vår generelle innsikt i amerikansk kultur og politikk er relativt overflatisk. Denne boken er et bidrag til en bedre forståelse av dagens amerikanske samfunn.

«Salongen i Jerusalem» er en fortelling om maktkampen i Palestina fra første verdenskrig og frem til staten Israel ble opprettet i 1948. Først er det en kamp mellom Det osmanske riket og Tyskland på den ene siden og Det britiske samveldet på den andre. Senere ble det borgerkrig mellom sionister og palestinaarabere. Begge sider gjorde opprør mot britene som styrte Palestina fra 1917. Boka forteller også en eventyrlig historie om en kristen sekt, American Colony, som slo seg ned i Jerusalem på 1880-tallet. Det var maktkamp mellom sektens leder, norskfødte Anna Spafford og den svenske pastor Olof Henrik Larsson. Senere mellom Annas datter Berta og andre svensker i denne kristne kolonien.

Seeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about the West's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn billions of pounds every year off the opium trade. With the breakneck pace of a thriller, author Gretchen Peters traces their illicit activities from the vast poppy fields of southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders, from drug convoys armed with Stinger missiles to the money launderers of Karachi and Dubai. Based on hundreds of interviews with Taliban fighters, smugglers, and law enforcement and intelligence agents, Peters makes the case that we must cut terrorists off from their drug earnings if we ever hope to beat them.

During his campaign for the presidency, one of Donald Trump's signature promises was that he would build a "great great wall" on the border between the US and Mexico, and Mexico was going to pay for it. A year and a half into his term, with only a few prototype segments erected, the wall is the 2,000-mile, multibillion-dollar elephant in the room of contemporary American life. In The Great Great Wall, architectural historian and critic Ian Volner takes a deep dive into the story of Trump's wall.

Volner follows the conception, selling, design, and construction (or lack thereof)of this expensive and consequential barrier, giving readers a detailed look at what's happening in Washington, DC, and along the border. He also travels far afield, to China, the Middle East, Northern England, and back to our border to examine the barriers we've been building for centuries. Why do we build walls? What do they reveal about human history? The Great Great Wall is an absorbing, smart, and timely book on an incredibly contentious and newsworthy topic.
