Er planter bedre problemløsere enn mennesker? Stefano Mancuso mener det, og i Planterevolusjonen gir han en overbevisende vitenskapelig begrunnelse.

Planter utgjør 80 prosent av alt levende på jorden, og likevel er det så lett å glemme at disse små, unnselige organismene ikke bare er ansvarlig for livsviktig oksygen, men også for mye vi tar for gitt i vårt moderne liv: medisin, mat og fossilt brennstoff.

Stefano Mancuso, en av verdens ledende forskere på plantenes nevrobiologi, viser i denne boken plantenes overraskende evne til innovasjon, til å huske og å lære, og dermed vise oss kreative løsninger på de mest presserende teknologiske og økologiske problemer vi står overfor i dag. Til tross for at planter verken har hjerne eller et sentralnervesystem, «leser» de i enda større grad enn dyr sine omgivelser. De utforsker effektivt og reagerer raskt på mulige ytre farer, og takket være deres desentraliserte kommandolinjer er de i stand til å huske tidligere farlige situasjoner og tilpasse seg nye omstendigheter.

Vet 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!

ENGLISH VERSION

Exotic, exciting and different. In this book we have personally selected 55 fantastic hotels from all over Norway - each with its own unique character.
These days the hotel is half the destination to so many of us; we no longer want to stay in sterile and impersonal hotel rooms where everything is so standardised that we hardly know where we are anymore. A holiday isn't just about comfort and the number of TV channels in our room, it's about experiencing places with charm and soul.
A stay in a hotel should be like a break from everyday life, a place where we can enjoy ourselves, relax and recharge. The hotels presented here are all of those things and all have something special to offer, whether it's an exciting history, a creative concept, beautiful views and surroundings, unique design or unusual culinary delights.
They tell stories of royal guests, celebrities, pilgrims and ghosts; they speak of passionate enthusiasts who have made their hotel their life's work and restored and recreated original interiors and atmospheres. They open their doors to give their guests a memory for life.
The book also contains tips, recommendations and descriptions of more than 500 exciting activities and sights around the hotels - and is a great guide to car holidays in Norway.

History is everywhere, and is never as complete as when it can be accessed on a part of history itself. The locomotive is one of the great steps in progress of civilization that undoubtably connects us to land and history that was shaped by the machine itself. Although a basic form of railway, or rutway, did exist in Ancient Greek and Roman times - notably the ship trackway between Diolkos and the Isthmus of Corinth around 600 BC - it would take several thousand years before the first fare-paying passenger service was launched in the early nineteenth century.

Some two hundred years on, it is possible to travel by train to some of the world's most remote and remarkable destinations, and track the many wonderful legacies of the Earth's extensive history - man-made and otherwise. From prehistoric rock formations to skyscraper cities, slow steam engines to high-speed bullet trains, let A History of the World in 500 Railway Journeys be your guide. Through its beautifully illustrated pages, and 500 awe-inspiring railway journeys, you can chart your own transcontinental itinerary through time.

Chug through canyons, steam past ancient monuments, speed through cities, luxuriate in the railcars of presidents and queens, or make express connections between key historical moments or epic eras, A History of the World in 500 Railway Journeys has it all. A must-read for travellers, rail fans and history buffs alike, offering inspiration and information in equal measure.

In 1897 W G Collingwood and Jón Stefánsson undertook a journey to Iceland in order to visit, explore and paint the locations of some of the most prominent sagas of Icelanders. After their return to Britain they wrote an account of their journey which, as they themselves succinctly put it, aimed primarily to be ""a picture book to illustrate the sagas of Iceland"".

A Pilgrimage to the Saga-Steads of Iceland more than fulfilled this modest aim, its text accompanied by more than forty paintings and drawings by Collingwood, a unique record of saga sites and of the Icelandic landscape. Today it is one of the classics of English travel writing on Iceland.

The present volume presents a facsimile of the original 1899 edition of the Pilgrimage, reproducing the volume in its original size, with full-colour reproductions of the original colour plates, and hard-back binding.
