Nordic Workshop on Action Related to Short-Lived Climate Forcers
Nordic Ministers of Environment adopted in March 2012 the "Svalbard Declaration" with decisions to reduce the negative impacts of the climate changes and air pollution caused by the emission of the so-called Short-lived Climate Forcers (SLCFs) such as black carbon (soot) and methane. Along with CO2, they are the main reasons why the ice in the Arctic now is melting rapidly. At a workshop organised by the Nordic Group on Climate and Air Quality in June 2012 researchers and policy-makers discussed the recent scientific findings, the national experiences with emission inventories, identification of cost-effective measures to cut emissions and the drawing up of national action plans as well as the development in the field of international co-operation on SLCFs. The report presents policy recommendations, conclusions and recommendations on scientific research and monitoring.
Fragile Beasts
Growing up in hard-scrabble coal country with a drunk father and a runaway mother hasn't been easy for teen brothers Kyle and Klint. And when their dad smashes his truck and dies after a few too many beers, the boys are shocked that their often-absent mother plans to take them back to her new home out West. After all, their mom hasn't cared for Kyle and Klint for years. She still doesn't. Their mom quickly hands the boys over to 75-year-old Candace Jack, a curmudgeon with an acidic tongue who surprises herself in agreeing to take the boys. Living together isn't easy, but the boys discover that Candace has a tragic, passionate past and the three discarded souls help each other to heal. With Tawni O'Dell's trademark tenderness, vivid sense of place, and complex characters, Fragile Beasts is a beautifully crafted novel told from two very different points of view: a fourteen-year-old boy's and a seventy-five-year-old woman's. It's a wonderfully touching novel with two fascinating narrators who will wholly capture readers' hearts.
Pigen fra Trelde Klint
"Pigen fra Trelde Klint" fortæller historien om, hvordan svenske og tyske tropper i 1657 besætter Jylland. Da en en husmand slår en soldat ihjel for at redde sin datter, Bodil, fra voldtægt, bliver husmanden henrettet. Bodil når dog at flygte, og hendes livs formål bliver herefter at yde så meget modstand mod besætterne som muligt i jagten på hævn og retfærdighed! Torben Nielsen (1918-1985) var en dansk forfatter, der udgav bøger i flere forskellige genrer. Nielsen fik sin litterære debut med bogen "Gry. Historien om et pindsvin", som udkom i 1970. Herefter udgav han både børnebøger såvel som krimier. Blandt andet modtog han Poe-klubbens Berenicepris for årets bedste krimi for bogen "Nitten røde roser" (1973). Nielsens kriminalromaner var kendt for deres realistiske islæt, som havde rod i Nielsens arbejde inden for politiet i mere end to årtier.
