Elsewhere, you'll discover neighbourhoods you might not know much about but should really consider staying in: Tokyo's grungy Koenji, barnacle-clung Wapping and Rotherhithe in London, and Staten Island's North Shore in New York City. For each neighbourhood, there are out-of-the-ordinary recommendations for eating, drinking, partying and where to delve into local culture.
All of them are hand-picked by experts who know these cities inside out, and they're accompanied by maps to orient you in these exciting districts.

Seeds of Terror
Ordinær pris 149,00 krSeeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about the West's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn billions of pounds every year off the opium trade. With the breakneck pace of a thriller, author Gretchen Peters traces their illicit activities from the vast poppy fields of southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders, from drug convoys armed with Stinger missiles to the money launderers of Karachi and Dubai. Based on hundreds of interviews with Taliban fighters, smugglers, and law enforcement and intelligence agents, Peters makes the case that we must cut terrorists off from their drug earnings if we ever hope to beat them.

Smugler eller grenselos? på innsiden av vår tids største folkevandring
Ordinær pris 399,00 krHver eneste dag blir flyktninger og andre migranter smuglet over noen av verdens farligste grenser. Hva er det som gjør at millioner av mennesker legger sitt eget og sine barns liv i hendene på menneskesmuglere for å la seg frakte over snødekte fjellkjeder, glohete ørkener og åpne hav?
Hvem er bakmennene, og kvinnene, som muliggjør disse reisene, og hvor går grensen mellom menneskesmugling og menneskehandel? Stemmer egentlig det bildet politikere og media har skapt av smuglere som utelukkende onde og skruppelløse?
I Makedonia kjører et 80 år gammelt ektepar syriske flyktninger over grensen, skjult under falske høyballer på lasteplanet sitt. Gjennom Sahara kjører akademikeren Abeo turister om dagen og flyktninger om natten. I Middelhavet loser en gammel fisker mennesker bort fra tvungen internering skjult i fiskebåten sin og i Libanon har etablerte reisebyråer endret kundegruppen sin.
I Libya er slavemarkedene i full drift, torturen en del av hverdagen og menneskerettigheter brytes uten at noen reagerer. Hvordan ender norske skattepenger i hendene på libysk milits?
I over tjue år har Kristina Quintano fulgt menneskesmuglere i og rundt Middelhavet. Med denne boken trekker hun paralleller mellom vår tids menneskesmuglere og fortidens grenseloser.
Smugler eller grenselos? På innsiden av vår tids største folkevandring tar oss med på innsiden, til dem som muliggjør vår tids største folkevandring. Dette er et unikt portrett av de smuglerne politikerne vil til livs.

The Book of Vanishing Species
Ordinær pris 399,00 krOur Earth is more beautiful and more diverse than we can possibly conceive of. The Book of Vanishing Species is a stunning homage to the planet's most mysterious, bizarre and wondrous creatures and plants. Their stories are captivating, from the eyeless and tiny dragonlike olm to the hawksbill turtle, whose gender will be determined by the temperature of the sand it is born in.
These species may have survived for hundreds of thousands of years by cleverly adapting to their environments, but their future remains far from certain. The book brings to life red cranes as they dance and bow for the sheer joy of movement, trees that breathe out a haze of misty atmosphere for insects that only feast on one kind of flower, a deep-ocean snail quietly building its shell from iron... and each one of them is illuminated with an exquisite illustration.
As you turn the pages, there emerges a network of life that stretches across and around the planet in a dazzling web of existence. This is both a love letter to life on Earth, and an urgent summons to protect what is precious and lovely in this world.
