Selv om de færreste av oss er født med ski på beina, har vi lett for å havne i langrennssporet eller utforløypa når vi vil ut i naturen om vinteren. Men den kalde årstiden er også en fin anledning til å prøve alternative aktiviteter: Padleturer blant fjordens isflak, hundekjøring over endeløse vidder, stormtitting på Vestlandet, full rulle med fatbike gjennom snøen, eventyrlig kanefart inn i trollskogen, og ikke minst kveldsshow med nordlys som underholdning. Samtidig er vinteren som skapt for velvære og det gode liv. Ingenting smaker bedre enn peiskos, flytende badstuer og himmelske måltider etter spreke opplevelser i snø og kulde - enten spaopphold ved et hyggelig høyfjellshotell eller rolige dager i et fiskevær med gourmetmat. Om du ser etter noe mer enn klassisk skiferie, har du altså mye godt i vente også om vinteren. I denne boka får du gode tips til smakfulle overnattingssteder, herlige aktiviteter og behagelige opplevelser fra nord til sør. Vinter er helt konge også for den som trives best uten ski på beina!

Veien forbi klimaendringene løper mellom i dag og 2070. Det er tiden vi har, om vi skal klare selv det løseste av målene vi har satt gjennom Parisavtalen. Om 50 år må det grønne skiftet være gjennomført. Om 50 år skal vi være fossilfrie. Så enkelt er det. Og så utrolig vanskelig …

I denne komplette klimaboken viser en av Norges mest toneangivende klimaforskere hvordan vi er havnet i dagens situasjon. Han forklarer vitenskapen og klimasystemene vi må forstå, viser oss hvor ille det kan gå hvis vi ikke handler, og han gir oss et kart for veien videre. Men aller først må vi lære å snakke sammen utfra en felles kunnskap - uten å gå i skyttergravene.

Bjørn H. Samset tar oss med til år 2070 på en slik måte at vi kan unngå de verste konsekvensene av klimaendringene og bygge en bærekraftig verden underveis.

alpene er våre nærmeste virkelig høye fjell. Et storslått, komplekst og krevende landskap, der vær og forhold skifter konstant. Men I motsetning til I himalaya trenger du ikke ukevis med tilvenning for å tilpasse deg den tynne luften. Alpene bærer på århundrelange fjellsporttradisjoner. Fjellene er forførende vakre, og lett tilgjengelige. I denne boka får du bli med tormod granheim på bestigningen av de 82 høyeste toppene I alpene. Alpenes 4000-metere er en bok om verdien av å sette seg mål, finne gode turkamerater og slå til I rette øyeblikk. Boka er en fantastisk veiviser for alle som vil stryke til fjells I alpene - og andre små og store fjell. Tormod granheim (f. 1974) har tidligere kjørt på ski fra mount everest. Nå har han, som den første fra norden, besteget alle de 82 fjell-toppene over 4000 meter I alpene. Han ble kåret til Årets eventyrer I 2016. «prosjektet er en milepæl I norsk fjellsporthistorie» - juryen, Årets eventyrer «lekent og svært ambisiøst på samme tid.» - aleksander gamme, juryformann for Årets eventyrer 

Experience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.

That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddlesteamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.

Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.

This is the first book to catalog comparative maps and tableaux that visualize the heights and lengths of the world's mountains and rivers. Produced predominantly in the nineteenth century, these beautifully rendered maps emerged out of the tide of exploration and scientific developments in measuring techniques. Beginning with the work of explorer Alexander von Humboldt, these historic drawings reveal a world of artistic and imaginative difference.

Many of them give way-and with visible joy-to the power of fantasy in a mesmerizing array of realistic and imaginary forms. Most of the maps are from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection at Stanford University.

An inspirational and beautifully illustrated book that tells the stories of 80 plants from around the globe. In his follow-up to the bestselling Around the World in 80 Trees, Jonathan Drori takes another trip across the globe, bringing to life the science of plants by revealing how their worlds are intricately entwined with our own history, culture and folklore. From the seemingly familiar tomato and dandelion to the eerie mandrake and Spanish 'moss' of Louisiana, each of these stories is full of surprises.

Some have a troubling past, while others have ignited human creativity or enabled whole civilizations to flourish. With a colourful cast of characters all brought to life by illustrator Lucille Clerc, this is a botanical journey of beauty and brilliance.
