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...
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.
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...

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.
Da vi temmet villaksen og satte den nye fisken ut i naturen, begynte store ting å skje. Steder langs kysten fikk nytt liv, folk fikk arbeid og flere ble milliardærer. Staten så på det som et eventyr, og velsignet fortsettelsen. Forfatterne Simen Sætre og Kjetil Østli skapte høye bølger med en artikkelserie i Morgenbladet og Harvest om laksenæringen. Nå tegner de et større bilde, i en bok som favner hele fortellingen om oppdrettslaksen. De spør blant annet: Hva skjer hvis man plasserer et nytt dyr i fjorden? Hvordan påvirker det de andre fiskene og artene, fjordene og elvene? Hva skjer med forskerne som roper varsku, med dyrevelferden, føre var-prinsippet og skattepolitikken nå...
