The New Fish
Eat more fish, the doctors say. But is the salmon you are consuming really healthy? In the early 1970s, a group of scientists researched how to make more food for the growing population of the world. They looked to the sea. They sampled genes from salmon in 41 Norwegian and Swedish rivers and designed a new salmon that was fatter and faster growing. This was considered an amazing innovation and was the beginning of a new industry: salmon farming. The industry spread from coastal Norway to Scotland, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the United States. Business boomed, jobs were created, and a new type of food, the farmed salmon, spread around the globe. People...
Salmon Wars
A Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent and a former private investigator dive deep into the murky waters of the international salmon farming industry, exposing the unappetizing truth about a fish that is not as good for you as you have been told. A decade ago, farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on North America’s dinner tables. We are told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. The reality is disturbingly different. In Salmon Wars, investigative journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins bring readers to massive ocean feedlots where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. The authors reveal the cond...
Norske tabuer
Norsk skole stiller for få krav, nordmenn er flinkere til å jabbe enn til å jobbe og hva skal vi egentlig med distriktene? Forfatter Sanna Sarromaa er kjent for sine friske aviskronikker og har vakt mediestorm med sine utspill om norske mødre, nynorsk og det norske likhetstyranniet. Med boka Norske tabuer ønsker hun å rokke ved konformiteten og kollektivismen som hun mener truer med å gjøre oss alle akkurat like – og like dumme – i dette landet. Hun utfordrer våre etablerte sannheter med sitt finsk-norske blikk på samfunnet, men gjør det med kjærlighet til norske menn i bunad, til dugnad og alt som er bra med verdens beste land.
Pierced
The acclaimed author of Burned is back with more heart-stopping suspense in a gritty and thrilling sequel that pits Norwegian crime reporter Henning Juul against an international crime ring. From the internationally bestselling author of Burned (“Possibly the best $15 you’ll spend on a mystery this year.” —Bookpage) comes a taut and riveting tale of secrets, betrayals, and a dangerous quest for the truth. If you find out who set me up, I’ll tell you what happened the day your son died. That is the message crime reporter Henning Juul—back at work after being terribly burned and scarred for life in a fire that killed his son—receives from a jailed extortionist named Tore Pulli wh...
Les Norvégiens, pacifistes
Souvent citée comme modèle, la Norvège est de plus en plus enviée, mais n'apparaît pas sans contradictions. Européenne, mais en dehors de l'UE. Grandiose par sa nature, mais faiblement peuplée. Pays de tolérance et de paix, mais aussi important exportateur d'armes. Peu connus sur la scène internationale en dehors des peintures d'Edvard Munch, des pièces de théâtre de Henrik Ibsen ou de la musique d'Edvard Grieg, les Norvégiens fascinent d'autant plus. Qui les auraient imaginés en cuisiniers d'excellence ? En champion du monde d'échecs ? En nouveau Zidane ? Et avant tout en " Arabes aux yeux bleus " - riches à outrance par leur pétrole, dictant leurs conditions aux compagnies pétrolières peu habituées à ce genre d'exigences ? Plus nsupportable encore pour les Latins, ce sont les Norvégiennes qui font la loi. La Norvège est un royaume, et les femmes en sont souveraines.

Death and security
Making a bold intervention into critical security studies literature, this book explores the ontological relationship between mortality and security. It considers the mortality theories of Heidegger and Bauman alongside literature from the sociology of death, before undertaking a comparative exploration of the memorialisation of four prominent post-terrorist sites: the World Trade Centre in New York, the Bali bombsite, the London bombings and the Norwegian sites attacked by Anders Breivik. By interviewing the architects and designers of these reconstruction projects, the book shows that practices of memorialisation are a retrospective security endeavour - they conceal and re-narrate the traumatic incursion of death. Disaster recovery is replete with security practices that return mortality to its sublimated position and remove the disruption posed by mortality to political authority. The book will be of significant interest to academics and postgraduates working in the fields of critical security studies, memory studies and international politics.
