Hav på alle kanter opphever dagens landegrenser og tegner et levende portrett av det Nord-Atlantiske havområdet, denne historiske, kulturelle og genetiske smeltedigelen som deler en felles keltisk og norrøn arv. Leseren kommer tett på øyfolk og tradisjoner, myter og historier, triumfer og tragedier som forteller hvordan naturen og havet har formet, og fortsatt former, livet på øyene.

Så lenge det har bodd mennesker langs Nord-Atlanterens kyster, har de delt den dypt menneskelige trangen til å utforske det ukjente. Det er som om mennesker burde hatt gjeller og svømmehud mellom tærne, for så snart de fikk sjansen, la de ut på havet med livet som innsats. Før nåtidens kart og nasjonale grenser ble til, øyhoppet folk mellom Norge og Shetland, Orknøyene og Hebridene, Man, Irland, Færøyene og Island uten tanke på pass eller grensekontroll. De kastet seg ut i bølgene i uthulte stokker, lette skinnbåter, klinkbygde skip, fiskefartøy og skuter. De handlet med hverandre og giftet seg med hverandre, inspirerte hverandre eller fortrengte hverandre. Under vikingtiden ble øyene også tilknyttet Norge på ulike måter, som skattland under den norske kongen og gjennom erkebiskopen i Trondheim.

Øyer er samfunn i miniatyr. Når man er omgitt av hav på alle kanter, er innbyggerne i samme båt, bokstavelig talt – og mer eller mindre avhengige av hverandre. Å bo på en øy kan være klaustrofobisk, romantisk, forblåst, uhyggelig, ensomt, frustrerende, fredelig – men sjelden kjedelig.

Guidebook to the magnificent Japan Alps, which stretch across the middle of the main island of Honshu, and iconic Mount Fuji. The guide describes nine day-walks and thirteen treks of 2-8 days covering the North, Central and South Alps, as well as the four main routes up Mount Fuji - Japan's highest mountain at 3776m - and a further route on neighbouring Mount Kurodake. The routes visit many of the region's key summits, including several over 3000m.

They are graded according to difficulty, although several entail steep ascents and difficult terrain and a few include scrambling and exposure, calling for a sure foot and a good head for heights. Comprehensive step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by clear mapping. The Japan Alps and Mount Fuji boast a well-developed walking infrastructure, and the routes make use of the many mountain huts and campgrounds, full details of which are given in the guide.

Some also include the opportunity to visit a traditional hot-spring bath for a refreshing soak after your hike. You will find all the information you will need to plan a successful walking or trekking holiday, with a wealth of advice on travel, bases, accommodation and facilities. There are additional notes on plants and wildlife, the history of hiking in Japan and safety in the mountains, as well as full mountain-hut listings and a helpful glossary.

Inspirational colour photography completes the package, offering a taste of the breathtaking mountain vistas to whet your appetite.

The guide also offers comprehensive advice on public transport access and accommodation options, and background notes on each of the featured mountain regions. From narrow ridges to wide glacial valleys and from shimmering fjords to striking alpine peaks, Norway is home to many awe-inspiring landscapes. Throw in the warmth and hospitality of the Norwegian Trekking Association's extensive hut network and you have all the ingredients of a fantastic adventure.

«Vi er to menn. Du er knapt førti, jeg litt yngre. Vi sitter i det grønneste av alt grønt. Hør alle lydene. Det er ingen gråt. Jungelen gråt heller ikke da min landsby ble brent og alle mine døde. Jungelen kan ikke gråte. Jungelen føder stadig nytt liv. Milliarder på milliarder av nye liv.

A Captivating Guide to a Shortened History of Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Moldova, Belarus, and Romania

How much Eastern European history do you know?

The story of Eastern Europe is one of successes and failures, competing interests, and the rise and fall of states and empires. The ancient Greek and Roman empires knew the importance of Eastern Europe for trade and settlement. Later, during the Migration Period, also known as the "Barbarian Invasions," Eastern Europe became the stomping grounds for many people groups. The Visigoths, Huns, Slavs, and central Asian Turkic tribes like the Avars and Khazars all made their way into Eastern Europe.

With so many people moving in, the first states started to rise. Some of them would break apart as soon as they started, while others would form full-fledged empires. The medieval period would see some of the greatest empires of European history, like Kievan Rus, the Bulgarian Empire, Serbia, and the German Crusader states. By the early modern period, these great states would be replaced by Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire.

In the coming centuries, the rise of Russia, Austria, and Prussia would spell doom for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottomans would keep pressing into Eastern Europe. The 19th century would lay the foundations for the outbreak of World War I, which would itself lead to World War II. In the aftermath, Eastern Europe became part of the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the USSR until the fall of communism nearly five decades later. This book extends past contemporary histories of Eastern Europe, which usually end at the fall of the Berlin Wall, to cover more recent events, including the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo and the 2014 Crimean crisis.

In this book, you will learn about:

The Greek and Roman influence in Eastern Europe
The Migration Period, aka the "Barbarian Invasions"
Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire
The Mongol invasions
Christian Europe vs. the Ottoman Empire
The fall of Constantinople
The rise of Russia and its famous rulers, like Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great
The path to World War I and World War II
The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe
The Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism
The conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo
The 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea

It had never been done before. Not in 4000 years of Japanese recorded history had anyone followed the Cherry Blossom Front from one end of the country to the other. Nor had anyone hitchhiked the length of Japan.

But, heady on sakura and sake, Will Ferguson bet he could do both. The resulting travelogue is one of the funniest and most illuminating books ever written about Japan. And, as Ferguson learns, it illustrates that to travel is better than to arrive.

Fire år gammel flykter Lara Rashid sammen med familien sin fra irakisk Kurdistan i 1999 og etter en krevende tid på asylmottak i Nes begynner de et trygt liv på Nesodden. Men snart skal mørke skygger legge seg over det lykkelige rekkehuset de har skaffet seg.
Den 22.juli 2011 blir 18-år gamle Bano, familiens eldste datter drept på Utøya. Fanget i sorg får Lara for seg at hun må overta rollen til storesøsteren. Et valg som får store konsekvenser for hennes eget liv. Hvem er hun nå? Uten Bano? Samtidig er hun fanget i familiens bunnløse sorg. De trodde de hadde kommet til verdens fredeligste land. I stedet har det gode livet de skapte seg blitt en vond drøm både Lara og familien strever med å komme seg ut av.
Hold meg til jeg sovner er en gripende kurdisk familiehistorie, en fortelling om å finne seg selv i sorgen og en bit norgeshistorie vi aldri må glemme.

«En nødvendig bok om tap, identitet og 22. juli. Lara Rashids debut er velskrevet, rørende og svært reflektert. Lara Rashid gir hele beretningen om sitt tap 22. juli en menneskelig autoritet og en historisk dybde som jeg ikke har sett i andre beretninger fra eller refleksjoner rundt det som skjedde. Det mesterlige grepet her, det som virkelig løfter Rashids bok frem som noe helt eget, er at hun tar seg tid til å fortelle om foreldrene og hjemlandet sitt, før hun kommer til den skjebnesvangre dagen. Hold meg til jeg sovner er en nødvendig bok om vi skal komme oss videre, finne nye 'vi'.» Kjetil Røed, Vårt Land.

People say Budapest is the Paris of Central Europe. Maybe that statement is true because it combines a combination of western luxuries, architectural beauty, and cosmopolitan European traditions. But this baroque city is still connected to its Eastern European heritage with the steaming baths, incredibly complex language and lusty cuisine.

Budapest straddles a curve in the river Danube which bisects two distinct parts. The east side is known as Pest and the west side is known as Buda, hence Budapest. It’s a very logical, well laid out city.

Castle Hill is the premier destination for visitors and contains many of Budapest's most important monuments and museums, and great views of Pest across the blue Danube. Pastel houses lining cobbled streets and stone balustrade overlooks give this citadel a fairy tale quality, while bullet holes from the unsuccessful 1956 uprising pockmark many buildings. Michelin Short-Stays Guides are a handy pocket guide with a detachable map to help you get around and explore the city or country that you are visiting.

Presenting the top attractions for a 24-hour visit, a weekend or longer. You'll find a choice of restaurants for any budget. This pocket-size guide helps you do it all with its detailed maps, recommended places to eat and stay, and Michelin's respected star-rating system.
