Forlagets omtale: 

get ready for the sublime beauty of the pacific crest trail. From the mojave desert, through the soaring peaks of the sierra nevada, to canada, traversing the american west is not for the faint-hearted. Pristine mountain lakes, nights under the stars, and spontaneous friendships forged over camp- fires reward hikers who stay the course. Tim voors a passionate long-distance hiker who walked the trail alone over the course of six months details everything you need to know; hiking etiquette, planning food re- supply boxes, and navigating bear territory. Lushly illustrated and featuring spectacular photography, the 2,650-mile (4,265-km) journey comes to life in the great alone.

as much about physical and mental endurance as it is about overcoming loneliness and fear, ultimately the great alone is about the power of the wilderness to restore the human spirit. Voors s infectious enthusiasm invites you to grab a backpack and set off on an adventure to rediscover yourself. The world is waiting.

I sin nye bok analyserer professor Ole o. Moen usa slik verdens eneste supermakt nå fremstår under president Barack Hussein Obama - både I lys av vår samtid og usas særegne historiske tradisjoner. Presidentvalget I 28 var på flere vis begynnelsen på et nytt kapittel I usas moderne historie. Moen beskriver de nye trekk som nå avtegner seg I den politiske og kulturelle hverdag. Denne boken forteller historien om dette landet I en ny og annerledes tidsalder. Det er sterke bånd som knytter norge til usa. En naturlig konsekvens av dette er at de fleste nordmenn mener seg å kjenne usa. Onkel sam er en gammel kjenning, men vår generelle innsikt I amerikansk kultur og politikk er relativt overflatisk. Denne boken er et bidrag til en bedre forståelse av dagens amerikanske samfunn.
