Theatre of the World
'Fascinating...sumptuously produced with lots of full-colour images, is a kind of potted treasury of cartographical history that gleams with pieces-of-eight-like snippets of information...this is an enthralling book, and joins the likes of Simon Garfield's On the Map and Jerry Brotton's A History of the World in Twelve Maps in the field of popular reaffirmations of the ingenuity of geography.' Travis Elborough, Spectator 'A fascinating book that I will always treasure.' Sir Ranulph Fiennes 'This wonderful book is a reminder of how much careful thought was given to the shape of the world even in ancient times - the landscape, how places are related to one another.

Om muser og menn
Hvor eksentrisk kan en kvinne være før hun avskrives som gal? Ikke så veldig, konkluderer Marta Breen. Kvinnekampen har i stor grad handlet om å bryte seg inn i menns lukkede rom – enten det er arbeidslivet, politikken, utelivet, idretten eller kunsten. De kvinnene som har gått foran og sparket inn dørene, har ofte gjort det med store personlige omkostninger. Med utgangspunkt i sitt eget liv som forfatter og debattant tar Marta Breen for seg historien om kvinner i offentligheten, og skriver om den evige kampen for å skaffe seg et eget rom. Om eksentriske kulturmenn – av begge kjønn. Om Ingmar Bergman, Amalie Skram og Bjørn Afzelius. Om groupies, muser og stalkere. Om det mannlig...
The Radicality of Love
What would happen if we could stroll through the revolutionary history of the 20th century and, without any fear of the possible responses, ask the main protagonists - from Lenin to Che Guevara, from Alexandra Kollontai to Ulrike Meinhof - seemingly naïve questions about love? Although all important political and social changes of the 20th century included heated debates on the role of love, it seems that in the 21st century of new technologies of the self (Grindr, Tinder, online dating, etc.) we are faced with a hyperinflation of sex, not love. By going back to the sexual revolution of the October Revolution and its subsequent repression, to Che's dilemma between love and revolutionary com...

The Weather Changed, Summer Came and So on
"Johnny is from New Jersey; Kari is from Oslo. They meet in New York, they fall in love, they marry, they have two daughters. They are living the dream. Until a terrible accident turns their lives upside down and they move to Norway, in search of a new beginning, a new dream. 'The Weather Changed, Summer Came and So On' explores the classic themes of love, loss, homelessness and identity. Structured through multiple points of view and a dialogue between Marita and her father Johnny, the story of a family struggling to come to terms with unspeakable loss is woven in language simultaneously poetic and down to earth."--Book jacket.
Introducing Capitalism
Capitalism now dominates the globe, both in economics and ideology, shapes every aspect of our world and influences everything from laws, wars and government to interpersonal relationships. Introducing Capitalism tells the story of its remarkable and often ruthless rise, evolving through strife and struggle as much as innovation and enterprise. Dan Cryan and Sharron Shatil, with Piero's brilliant graphics, cover the major economic, social and political developments that shaped the world we live in, such as the rise of banking, the founding of America and the Opium Wars.The book explores the leading views for and against, including thinkers like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Theodor Adorno and Milton Friedman, the connections between them and their historical context. Few ideas have had as much impact on our everyday lives as capitalism. Introducing Capitalism is the essential companion.
