30 Years of Swan history: Anniversary report for the Nordic ecolabel
This is an account of the Swan label’s first thirty years, written in chronological order with short chapters each illustrating various aspects of the scheme. There are few areas of public life in which there have been so many vague pronouncements as for environmental protection. Perhaps that’s because it’s so easy to agree on the goals, but sohard to find the right solutions and practise what you preach. Here at the Nordic Swan, we’ve done things properly from dayone by setting concrete, measurable environmental performance requirements and turning the environment into a competitive advantage. There have been many conflicts and disagreements, but no one can deny that ecolabelling has led to significant environmental improvements. The Nordic region with its 30 million people is the world’s twelfthlargest economy, and this makes a difference when businesses plan product changes and marketing campaigns. The label is a success far beyond the borders of the Nordic region.
A Scary Little Christmas
Controversial yet beloved among audiences, Christmas-themed horror movies emerged in the early 1970s and gained a notorious reputation with Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), depicting Santa as an ax-wielding maniac. Some parents and conservative groups condemned the film, while others embraced the portrayal of Yuletide as a backdrop for fear and dread. Drawing on interviews with directors, producers, special effects artists, photographers and actors, this book celebrates the sordid, colorful history of the Christmas horror subgenre. Psycho Santa films such as Christmas Evil (1980) and 3615 code Pere Noel (1989) are examined, along with "Yule-Die" slashers like The Dorm that Dripped Blood (1982), Black Christmas (1974) and Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972). Commercial successes like Gremlins (1984) and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) are covered, as well as more recent releases such as Better Watch Out (2016), Red Christmas (2016) and Deathcember (2019). Rare photographs, promotional materials and an annotated filmography are provided.
Sustainable Consumption and Production
The Nordic countries rank high in international reports of nations' progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Along with other industrialised countries, however, the Nordic countries have been ranked poorly in their progress towards SDG 12, which concerns Sustainable Consumption and Production. This report looks closer at the Nordic countries' main challenges in achieving SDG12 and sets out recommendations for Nordic collaboration to tackle these.
Management, Marketing, and the Competitive Process
This work presents an approach to competition which is analyzed as a process involving corporate strategy, research and development, pricing and distribution. It uses case studies and empirical evidence as well as theoretical surveys.
Flatøybok bind 3
Fredrik Wandrup i Dagbladet beskrev Flatøybok-serien slik: "Mesterverk om konger og vikinger" - "Flatøybok nok av gnistrende sverdkamper, lunefulle lidenskaper, påsatte branner, sjøslag og erobringer, slektoversikter, skaldekvad og lakoniske replikker til å matche en hvilken som helst TV-serie." Og Jon Harald Rydne i VG: "Saftig sagasex og blodige trolldrap" - "...mengder av unikt innhold; fra flåkjefta konger og ramsalt rojal erotikk til blodige trolldrap og brutal tvangskristning...Verket strutter av unikt stoff om vår fargerike fortid." Jon H. Rydne VG Flatøybok inneholder Olav den helliges saga og forteller om den unge Olav Haraldsson som 12 år gammel barnesoldat og befal som kj...
