Been There, Read That!
"Travel the world, from Austria to Vietnam, without leaving your favourite armchair!" "Been There, Read That: Stories for the Armchair Traveller is a collection of short stories from around the world. Some of the authors are well known in their native language, others are relative newcomers; for many, this is the first time their work has appeared in English. In every case, the translators invite you to share the pleasures of their art: encountering a new voice, connecting with another culture, seeing the world through very different eyes." --Book Jacket.
Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
Snö
Att upptäcka sin mor, alla hennes sidor, när man rensar bland pappren efter hennes bortgång. Att inse att en partners sjukdom är en börda man helst inte vill bära. Att ställas inför sin missbrukande vuxna dotters ständiga krav på pengar. Det är några av scenerna i dessa noveller som fångar människors drömmar och förhoppningar, tillkortakommanden och mörker, men också öppningar in mot något annat: längtan, sorg, insikt. "Snö" är en tät och rått ömsint novellsamling där människor och djur, bostäder och landskap, porträtteras med Åke Smedbergs skarpa och inkännande rättframhet.

The Pacific Crest Trail
This book begins where basic trail guides and maps leave off. For each section of the trail, the authors describe the route in detail and recommend the best day hikes and short backpacks from each trailhead. They describe the plants and animals hikers will see, tell stories about local history, explain plate tectonics, and in a thousand other ways enrich your experience of the journey. For many people, the Pacific Crest Trail is the ultimate long-distance hiking trail. Beginning in the dry valleys of southern California, it follows the crest of the snow-capped Sierras and ends in the ancient forests of Washington’s Cascades. Along the way, national treasures such as Yosemite, Crater Lake, and Mount Rainier make this trail one of the premier hiking destinations in the world. But hiking is about much more than getting from A to B. Berger and Smith draw on their tremendous experience—together they have logged more than 12,000 miles on the PCT—to give tested advice to long-distance hikers on trip planning, gear and safety, seasonal considerations, trailheads and resupplies, permits, and much more.
