Leve havet
Midt på 2000-tallet jobber Statoil og Stoltenberg-regjeringen intenst med å få åpnet de forlokkende havområdene utenfor Lofoten, Vesterålen og Senja for oljeboring. Samtidig drar fiskeren Yngve Larsen ut på sjøen, mens han teller på knappene om han skal investere i en ny, litt større fiskebåt. Dét, skjønner han snart, kommer han ikke til å få bruk for. For hvis olja kommer, hva skjer da med det levende havet? Det kommende tiåret står fiskere og miljøvernere mot den norske politiske eliten og verdens mektigste industri. Det er en kamp som truer med å velte regjeringen og splitte lokalsamfunn og familier. Dette er fortellingen om hvordan en rekke små lokalsamfunn, nord for polarsirkelen, reiste seg til kamp, bygde en landsomfattende folkebevegelse, og vant. «Leve havet!» er en fortelling om håp. Det handler om Yngves kamp for å bevare levebrødet, lokalbefolkningens eksistensgrunnlag, fiskens overlevelse og - til syvende og sist - om å stanse klimaendringene og bevare verdiene som nordmenn alltid har levd av, og skal fortsette å leve av - lenge etter at oljen har tatt slutt.

Cookbook for systems change – Nordic innovation strategies for sustainable food systems
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2020-048/ This cookbook of strategies for change is about the role that a strong public innovation system plays along the pathways towards sustainable food systems. We demonstrate this through a mission approach for deliberate food system transformation that can support people, planet and society. This strategy cookbook will provide the ingredients – templates for developing interventions, guides for how to get started and examples of cross-cutting projects – that you can use to create your own recipes for change. We offer a new, emergent way to work with complex and dynamic systems. The cookbook is intended primarily for national and regional innovation agencies, as the government has both a mandate and more authority than any other entity to lead the change needed to achieve sustainable food systems. However, because innovation ecosystems include a variety of different actors, this strategy cookbook also provides valuable insights into the roles that entrepreneurs and civil society and research organisations can play to cultivate change from the bottom-up.

Theater of the World
A beautifully illustrated full-color history of mapmaking across centuries -- a must-read for history buffs and armchair travelers. Theater of the World offers a fascinating history of mapmaking, using the visual representation of the world through time to tell a new story about world history and the men who made it.

And the stunning visual material allows us to witness the extraordinary breadth of this history with our own eyes.
