Glassdronningen
Storbondedatteren Katarina Sigurdsdatter møter den kommende kong Håkon V Magnusson under en reise til Oslo. Det blir begynnelsen på et forhold med sterke følelser, skuffelser og svik. I bakgrunnen tar de nordiske landene form, og Katarina blir del av et brutalt maktspill og stadig skiftende allianser. I sentrum står svenskekongens bror, hertug Erik av Södermanland, en navngjeten ridder og den største renkespilleren rikene har sett. Imens bygges den lille Mariakirken i kongsgården om til en gravkirke for Sverreætten, og glassmakere fra Notre Dame i Paris kommer for å lage praktfulle glassmalerier det vil gå gjetord om på kontinentet. Glassdronningen er en historisk roman lagt til 1300-tallets begynnelse. Vi får et innblikk i konfliktene som formet Norge, Sverige og Danmark. Her møter vi også historiske personer, både konger og dronninger, abbedisser og mennesker av lavere byrd. Romanen er inspirert av virkelige hendelser.
Introduction to Nordic Cultures
Introduction to Nordic Cultures is an innovative, interdisciplinary introduction to Nordic history, cultures and societies from medieval times to today. The textbook spans the whole Nordic region, covering historical periods from the Viking Age to modern society, and engages with a range of subjects: from runic inscriptions on iron rings and stone monuments, via eighteenth-century scientists, Ibsen’s dramas and turn-of-the-century travel, to twentieth-century health films and the welfare state, nature ideology, Greenlandic literature, Nordic Noir, migration, ‘new’ Scandinavians, and stereotypes of the Nordic. The chapters provide fundamental knowledge and insights into the history and ...
Hertuginne av Guds nåde
Som elleveåring blir hertuginne Ingebjørg gift med den tjue år eldre hertug Erik av Södermanland. Ingebjørgs far, kong Håkon V. Magnusson, visste nok ikke hvilke konsekvenser dette ekteskapet skulle få for 1300-tallets Norge. Ingebjørgs sønn, Magnus, blir som treåring konge både i Norge og Sverige. Som kongsmor deltar hun i riksstyrelsen i begge land, noe som vekker oppsikt og kritikk, siden hun er kvinne. Det politiske spillet i Norden på denne tiden invaderer også hennes personlige liv. Har hertuginne Ingebjørg viljestyrke til å stå imot stormennenes fordommer? Og vil hun selv få det livet hun ønsker trass i de store omveltningene som venter henne? Historien om hertuginne Ingebjørg er en gripende og betagende fortelling om en tid med slott, riddere og lyrespill, men også en tid med store konflikter, krig og tap. Lise Lorentzen er pensjonert spesialsykepleier med interesse for historie, spesielt norsk middelalderhistorie. Hun bor i Ski kommune sammen med sin mann og katten Rosito. Hun har tidligere utgitt Sagakvinner fra vikingtid og middelalder (2006) og Kongens to kvinner (2014).

Banned Booty
American travel has changed radically since September 11. The Banned Booty series captures a small aspect of this change. What used to be a routine matter, checking into a flight, passing through the final magnetometer and bringing on board nail files, scissors and children's toy guns, has been transformed into a high-security procedure. We all learned to surrender to the new ways, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers searching through our carry-on bags, the shrill beep of the highly sensitive metal detectors, barefooted travelers, steel knives swapped for plastic ones - all this became normalcy. The contemporary artist Steve Maloney is fascinated with the relentless search ...
Phytoplankton Pigments
Pigments act as tracers to elucidate the fate of phytoplankton in the world's oceans and are often associated with important biogeochemical cycles related to carbon dynamics in the oceans. They are increasingly used in in situ and remote-sensing applications, detecting algal biomass and major taxa through changes in water colour. This book is a follow-up to the 1997 volume Phytoplankton Pigments in Oceanography (UNESCO Press). Since then, there have been many advances concerning phytoplankton pigments. This book includes recent discoveries on several new algal classes particularly for the picoplankton, and on new pigments. It also includes many advances in methodologies, including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and developments and updates on the mathematical methods used to exploit pigment information and extract the composition of phytoplankton communities. The book is invaluable primarily as a reference for students, researchers and professionals in aquatic science, biogeochemistry and remote sensing.
The Complete Guide to Running
In "The Complete Guide to Running", the secrets of Earl Fee, a world master's champion, are revealed that helped him achieve over 30 world records in running. This material is supported by hundreds of references. Fifteen chapters explain how to improve general physical and mental fitness with major emphasis on mental training, nutrition, physiology, inspiration, and motivation. Ten chapters reveal the how and why of running training for sprinting, middle and long distance, hurdles, and running in the pool. Athletes from 9 to 90 will benefit from this information since all are bound by the same training principles. Precautions and training are explained for the extreme young and old.
Total Lobbying
This book offers a scholarly yet accessible overview of the role of lobbying in American politics. It draws upon extant research as well as original data gathered from interviews with numerous lobbyists across the United States. It describes how lobbyists do their work within all branches of government, at the national, state, and local levels. It thus offers a substantially broader view of lobbying than is available in much of the research literature. Although tailored for students taking courses on interest group politics, Total Lobbying offers an indispensable survey of the field for scholars and others concerned with this important facet of American politics.
