Ulv
Ulven har vært elska og hata, frykta og beundra. Den dukker opp i myter og folketro hvor enn den forekommer, og i Norge i dag står den i sentrum for en tilspissa politisk kamp. For vikingene var ulven et totemdyr, men etter hvert som vi blei flere og bestandene av husdyr økte, havna ulven i konkurranse med bonden. Den fikk en ny rolle i menneskenes verden, samtidig som kristendommen erstatta den norrøne troa. Under industrialiseringa blei ulven så en trussel mot effektiv utnytting av naturen. I Ulv i det norske kulturlandskapet viser Endre Harvold Kvangraven hvordan overtro, fattigdom og modernisering bidro til at ulven blei demonisert og forfulgt, inntil den var nesten helt utrydda i N...
Vox Lupi
Vår ville natur er under press. Verden står midt i en alvorlig menneskeskapt naturkrise uten historisk sidestykke. Verdens dyreliv forsvinner i et stadig raskere tempo, og naturkrisen truer alt levende – inkludert oss mennesker. Skal vi klare å endre dette før det er for sent, er vi nødt til å handle – nå! Naturen, slik vi kjenner den, er i ferd med å dø ut. På bare 50 år har verdens dyrepopulasjon i gjennomsnitt blitt redusert med hele 69%. Så mye som én million arter står i dag i fare for å dø ut og forsvinne for godt, og jorda er på vei mot den sjette masseutryddelsen. Denne utfordringen handler ikke bare om enkeltarter. Balansen i naturen er avhengig av at hver enest...
On the Trail of Stardust

With this handy guide from the author of the international bestseller In Search of Stardust, Jon Larsen, you will learn how to find micrometeorites in your own neighborhood!

Ulv i det norske kulturlandskapet
Ulven har vært elska og hata, frykta og beundra. Den dukker opp i myter og folketro hvor enn den forekommer, og i Norge i dag står den i sentrum for en tilspissa politisk kamp. For vikingene var ulven et totemdyr, men etter hvert som vi blei flere og bestandene av husdyr økte, havna ulven i konkurranse med bonden. Den fikk en ny rolle i menneskenes verden, samtidig som kristendommen erstatta den norrøne troa. Under industrialiseringa blei ulven så en trussel mot effektiv utnytting av naturen. I ?Ulv i det norske kulturlandskapet? viser Endre Harvold Kvangraven hvordan overtro, fattigdom og modernisering bidro til at ulven blei demonisert og forfulgt, inntil den var nesten helt utrydda i Norge og resten av Europa. Samtidig skjer det igjen noe med ulven. De siste tiåra har den så smått begynt å vende tilbake, som en økologisk nøkkelart, en gjenlevende rest av den ville naturen vi nå står i fare for å miste.

Almost Human
“Alternately joyous and heartbreaking...” —Jane Goodall A moving and revealing biography of Norway’s most famous chimpanzee. Julius is a national celebrity, the inspiration behind pop hits and bestselling books. He’s also a chimpanzee, born in captivity, but raised in a zookeeper’s home after his own mother rejects him. Julius’s new parents change his diapers and comfort him when he has nightmares, and their daughters play with him. But soon they must reintroduce Julius to the zoo, a challenging task that brings new learnings on primate behavior and the dangers of animal celebrity. Alternately humorous and heartbreaking, Almost Human shows that primates are more like us than we once thought possible. It also charts the transformation of one zoo over time: from a small operation of animals behind bars to a fast-growing attraction coming to terms with twenty-first-century views on animal rights and welfare.

All the Stories
'A man/ a woman recites all the stories of the world in a loud voice. When she is done, all the stories, all men and women, all time and all places will have passed through her lips.

With the minimum of instructions and a restricted format of four lines, Dora Garcia's collaborative and participatory project has now collected over 2,500 stories.

Climate Change as Class War
How to build a movement to confront climate change The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of ‘believing science’ or individual ‘carbon footprints’ – it is a class problem rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve. In this ground breaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for producing climate change. Yet, the narrow and unpopular roots of climate politics in the professional class is not capable of building a movement up to this challenge. For an alternative strategy, he proposes climate politics that appeals to the vast majority of society: the working class. Huber evaluates the Green New Deal as a first attempt to channel working class material and ecological interests and advocates building union power in the very energy system we need to dramatically transform. In the end, as in classical socialist movements of the early 20th Century, winning the climate struggle will need to be internationalist based on a form of planetary working class solidarity.
