Gutta på skauen
Ordinær pris 399,00 kr1. 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».

Guyana
Ordinær pris 299,00 krThis new third edition of Bradt's Guyana remains the only guidebook available to this South American gem, a jungle-clad country teeming with exotic wildlife. Thoroughly researched, easy to use and interesting to read, Bradt's Guyana is written and updated by writers who have lived in and promoted Guyana for many years and is an ideal companion for all travellers, from wildlife watchers to fishermen, anthropologists to conservationists and 'voluntourists'. Guyana is a destination on the rise, described - justifiably - by the tourist board as 'South America Undiscovered'.
This new edition of Bradt's Guyana has been updated to include all the latest developments, ranging from how to see harpy eagles at Warapoka to new culinary experiences, local tour operators, 4x4 self-drive and new hotels. Truly off the beaten track, Guyana is one of the most fascinating and least-known countries in the Americas. It is also the only English-speaking country in South America.
The jewel in its crown is the mouth-droppingly beautiful Kaieteur Falls, which is nearly five times the height of Niagara and the world's tallest single-drop waterfall. Culturally Caribbean, its capital Georgetown is a curious melting-pot of quaint Dutch and British colonial architecture, steel drums, boisterous nightlife, rum shops with world-class rum, cricket and tropical sea breezes. It is also the gateway to the lush interior which is full to the brim with fascinating flora and fauna including monkeys, black caiman, harpy eagles, giant anteaters, otters and the mighty jaguar.
With Bradt's Guyana, discover all of this, plus where to stay in community lodges and see the rainforest through the eyes of Amerindian guides, where to watch turtles nesting on the beach, how to explore the moody Essequibo river (the largest between the Orinoco and the Amazon), and how to visit the million-acre rainforest reserve of Iwokrama for the ultimate authentic wildlife experience. This third edition of Bradt's Guyana is the key book to plan an expedition into its densely forested lush interior, often accessible only by boat or small aircraft, before taking some 'time to lime' in a hammock in one of its tropical waterfront resorts.

Habitats
Ordinær pris 499,00 krDorliExplore the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals that live there. From the depths of the ocean to soaring mountain peaks - via coral reefs, deserts, rainforests, and even cityscapes - discover how unexpected wildlife partnerships make up the habitats plants and animals call home. Each habitat section starts with a fascinating illustration to explain how it works, exploring the combination of conditions, plants, and animals that make it up.
It then delves deeper, telling stories about how the inhabitants interact and find their place in each habitat. Survival strategies can be extreme, including frogs that can survive frozen through winter to emerge unharmed in spring. Vying for resources, plants and animals can work together in intimate partnerships, engage in direct competition - fighting tooth and nail over resources - or adapt in particular ways to find their own niche that only they can exploit.
These intricately balanced systems create an incredible and fascinating variety of life on our planet. So what are you waiting for?

Håndbok for unge antirasister
Ordinær pris 299,00 krHåndbok for unge antirasister av Tinashe Williamson belyser og engasjerer, og oppfordrer til det aller viktigste: nemlig dialog. Gjennom ti kapitler og ti fiktive karakterer svarer Williamson på spørsmål som hva rasisme egentlig er, hvorfor representasjon er viktig og hva man kan si hvis man opplever at noen blir diskriminert mot på grunn av hudfargen sin.
Rasisme er et vanskelig tema for oss voksne å navigere, og for mange er det derfor ekstra krevende å snakke med barna våre om det. For hva skal man egentlig si? Hvor skal man begynne?
Denne engasjerende, inkluderende og lærerike boka er skrevet i "skoledagbokformat" med oppgaver og samtaler som barna lett kan ta med de voksne hjemme eller sammen med klassen på skolen. Målet er å gi stafettpinnen videre til den oppvoksende generasjonen, og få dem til å føle at de har makt til å forandre verden. Sammen står vi sterkere, og bare ved å anerkjenne problemet kan vi få bukt med det.
Dette er en uunnværlig bok for barn fra 9 år og oppover, og den vil fungere like godt hjemme som i undervisningssammenheng.

Havanna taxi - Liv og løgn på det nye Cuba
Ordinær pris 429,00 kr«Dra til Cuba,» sier turistene, «før det er for sent.» «Øya forandrer seg,» sier ekspertene. Men da den norske sosialantropologen Ståle Wig flyttet til Havanna og begynte å kjøre taxi, oppdaget han en annen historie.
Havanna Taxi er den sanne fortellingen om tre enkeltmennesker og en drosje, i skyggen av de store hendelsene på Cuba de seneste årene - tilkoblingen til internett, åpningen mot USA og Fidel Castros død.
Norjes, Linet og Catalina vil gripe mulighetene som nå oppstår. Norjes starter en blogg og kritiserer myndighetene, Linet øyner muligheten for å komme seg ut av depresjon ved å ta et kurs i bedriftsøkonomi, og partikvinnen Catalina vil slå seg opp som taxi-eier sammen med forfatteren. Snart merker de hvordan deres drømmer og initiativ støter mot gamle, inngrodde strukturer. Cubas store forandring er ikke hva den utgir seg for.

Himmelblomsttreet
Ordinær pris 199,00 kr«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. Dette må vi passe på, Yenso, du og jeg, kanskje er det derfor vi sitter her nå, nettopp fordi du og jeg skal passe på denne jungelen som det aller viktigste på hele denne kloden.»
Hoverpersonen i Himmelblomsttreet Jens Oder Flirum - alias Yenso - sitter sammen med kameraten Mino i Amazonas-jungelen. Hensynsløs kapitalistisk utnytting har ødelagt jungelen. Dette skal de bekjempe.

History of Eastern Europe
Ordinær pris 399,00 krA 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

Hold meg til jeg sovner
Ordinær pris 349,00 kr Salgspris 174,50 kr Spar 50%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.
