Virus på reisefot
Ordinær pris 379,00 krVet 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!

Walking & Trekking: The Sierra Nevada
Ordinær pris 319,00 krThis guidebook offers a selection of 38 routes from simple day walks, high mountain scrambles to very demanding multi-day treks in the striking Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in mainland Spain. Easily accessible from Granada and Malaga, it is a world of soaring, snow-clad peaks and deep valleys, far removed from the crowded beaches of the Costa del Sol just two hours away. The routes are spread across the national park, with attractive towns and villages such as Trevelez, Lanjaron, Hoya de la Mora and Cumbres Verdes serving as potential bases for a walking holiday.
From more leisurely outings in the Cumbres Verde area to ascents of mainland Spain's highest summit, Mulhacen, there are routes to suit a range of abilities, although most require a reasonable degree of fitness, navigational skill and experience of high mountain terrain. Whilst some of the routes are day or half-day walks, others take advantage of the region's network of mountain shelters or offer an opportunity to wild camp. Also included are three longer traverses: 'Los Tres Picos' (the Spanish Three Peaks - Veleta, Mulhacen and Alcazaba), 'Los Tres Miles' Integral (a multi-day trek covering all the major 3000m peaks in the range) and an overview of the 302km Sulayr GR240.
The walks can be enjoyed most of the year, however conditions may prove too hot at the peak of summer and extra care and equipment will be required in snow or ice: the descriptions assume summer conditions, but include additional notes for winter walking. The guide also includes advice on transport, bases and safety, a tick-list of the 3000m peaks and a Spanish-English glossary.
