        Drømmer om storhet

        by Pål H. Christiansen

        Drømmer om storhet is about a down-on-his-luck 40ish writer obsessed about Paul Waaktaar-Savoy of the rock group a-ha. Hobo has published a few books and poems in the past and now works as a proof-reader for a newspaper. He aspires to write a Nobel Prize winning literary novel, but has a loose grip on reality. He selects Paul Waaktaar-Savoy as his idol, as someone like him who struggled from a little known country to break out on the world scene. Hobo has a penchant for words. His favorite book is the dictionary and, of course, he plays Scrabble with his girl friend Helle. He and his odd friends make for a humorous story laced with actual tidbits about a-ha.

        The Libya War

        The use of rhetoric and deception to destroy a state

        by Ola Tunander

        The war in Libya has become a humanitarian disaster. This book reveals the dishonest methods that were used to influence world opinion to accept the need for a “humanitarian intervention” in Libya in 2011. It draws a picture of an operation in which a number of actors collaborated towards a common goal: to oust Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi . In 2011, the news media reported that Gaddafi had launched a genocide. Today we know that this claim was false. This book explains what actually happened during the war in Libya, and how everyone was deceived.

        Yellow Book

        by Zeshan Shakar

        Mani is a recent economics graduate and has just got a job at the Ministry of Childhood and Adolescence. He’s a young man who lives with his father in an apartment in Haugenstua, a 1960s tower-block development in north-eastern Oslo, and he has a girlfriend he thinks he’s going to marry. He would have preferred to put his skills to use in the private business sector, where prestige and money count, since he is painfully aware that both his girlfriend and the environment around him only see the “public sector” with disdain. It doesn’t pay well either. His new working life implies adjusting to a new set of values in which an old apartment in the city’s old town is coveted more than Mani’s new, expensive apartment in Skillebekk, and in which Mani’s regular kebab shop is “genuine” and ranks higher than the Theater Café. At the same time, Mani becomes a proud contributor to the great common project called The State. Yellow Book is a novel about class and belonging, about the lives we live and what frames them. It is also a tale about where we come from and where we’re going. It’s a long way from Haugenstua to the heart of government.

        The Industrial Green Game

        Implications for Environmental Design and Management

        by Deanna J. Richards, Editor, National Academy of Engineering

        Industrial ecology is a concept that has emerged in response to growing public concern about the impact of industry on the environment. In this framework the natural flow (or circulation) of materials and energy that takes place in biological ecosystems becomes a model for more efficient industrial "metabolism." What industrial ecology is and how it may be applied to corporate environmentalism are the subject of The Industrial Green Game. This volume examines industrial circulation of materials, energy efficiency strategies, "green" accounting, life-cycle analysis, and other approaches for preventing pollution and improving performance. Corporate leaders report firsthand on "green" efforts at Ciba-Geigy, Volvo, Kennecott, and Norsk Hydro. And an update is provided on the award-winning industrial symbiosis project in Kalundborg, Denmark. The Industrial Green Game looks at issues of special concern to business, such as measuring and shaping public perceptions and marketing "green" products to consumers. It offers discussions of the appropriate roles of government and private business.

        With the past as a mirror

        by Terje Tvedt

        World History. With the past as a mirror is a formidable work. It is a story that takes us back 5,000 years and up to the present day. From the first civilizations in Asia and the Middle East, through the magnificent Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire 500 years ago, to the Industrial Revolution, the colonial era and US dominance, up to today’s uncertainty of China's role, climate and the future of civilization. Throughout this journey, Tvedt shows why civilizations have arisen, empires have perished and how the present can reflect the past. This is a book that provides new insights into the long lines of history and at the same time sheds a clearer light on our chaotic times. In his book, Professor Terje Tvedt asks the big question as to why the world has become what it is. He does so at a time when fundamental doubts are being raised all over the world about many of the explanations that have dominated in recent centuries. He shows how knowledge of world history is absolutely necessary to understand the present, and how stories about the past and present mirror each other. With an infectious enthusiasm, Terje Tvedt shares his endeavour to understand some of the long lines of world history. He also makes clear how such insights affect how we understand our own time and whom we have become.

        by Lene Lauritsen Kjølner

        "Sort gryte" is the seventh novel in the Olivia Henriksen-series. A series the author Ingvar Ambjørnsen described as: "Lene has created her own genre in norwegian crime."

Some compare her novels to Alexander McCall Smith, Alan Bradley, Maria Lang and the great Agatha Christie. "The frontman in the death metal-band Frityricom is found dead in a jetty at Ankerholmen. The band participates at the Dark Night-festival. Olivia Henriksen mysteriously stumbles into the case thanks to her brother Oskar, a musician, and her hunky lover, Torstein, which is a local policeman. Olivia has a parallel case going on - one which involves burlesque-dancers and possibly sexual harassment. Who has done it? The womanizing agent? A member of a competing metal band?The ambisious parents of the child star? Or is someones troublesome lovelife a motive? Olivia solves the case, in her usually energetic style."
