The Norwegian Prison System
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Norwegian Correctional Service and the values and principles underlying its operations, using the renowned Halden Prison as a case study. Since its opening in 2010, Halden has been recognized for its uniquely humane treatment of inmates and emphasis on rehabilitation. This book chronicles the lessons learned from the operation of Halden Prison and scrutinizes the effectiveness of its policies. Staff at Halden operate under a notion of “dynamic security,” in which guards circulate around the prison interacting and developing relationships with inmates rather than surveying from a fixed location. Recounted from the perspectives of various ...

Onkel Tuka
«STJERNER OG MÅNER og bedehusanger, tanter og onkler og reker og vin.» Sitatet er fra den første singelen til Haldenbandet Onkel Tuka: «Henta av Gud», fra albumet Geriljagress (1996). Plata inneholder en frisk blanding av bluegrass, punk og religiøsitet, og er startskuddet på et musikkeventyr fra Østfold som lever i beste velgående i 2022. Levi Henriksen er forfatter og musiker fra Kongsvinger. Han har skrevet romaner, noveller, dikt, reiseskildringer og annen sakprosa – og musikk har hele veien vært en viktig side ved forfatterskapet. For mange år siden var han musikkanmelder i Glåmdalen, og en dag lå Geriljagress på pulten hans. Litt senere var det Onkel Tuka som fikk han til å forstå at både Kongsvinger og Halden ligger like mye midt i verden som Paris, Roma eller Oslo. Nå samtaler han med bandmedlemmene om Geriljagress, og ser sitt eget musikalske og litterære liv i bakspeilet gjennom nye lyttinger på plata. Resultatet er en bok som er gjennomsyret av kjærlighet til musikk
Coastal Waters of the World
Nearly 60% of the world's population lives and works within 100 miles of a coast, and even those who don't are connected to the world's oceans through an intricate drainage of rivers and streams. Ultimately the whole of humankind is coastal. Coastal Waters of the World is a comprehensive reference source on the state of the world's coastal areas. It focuses on the tremendous pressures facing coastal areas and the management systems and strategies needed to cope with them. Don Hinrichsen explores the origins and implications of three related issues: the overwhelming threats to our coastal resources and seas from population and pollution; the destruction of critical resources through unsustain...

Social Practices and Dynamic Non-Humans
The robots are coming! So too is the ‘age of automation’, the march of ‘invasive’ species, more intense natural disasters, and a potential cataclysm of other unprecedented events and phenomena of which we do not yet know, and cannot predict. This book is concerned with how to account for these non-humans and their effects within theories of social practice. In particular, this provocative collection tackles contemporary debates about the roles, relations and agencies of constantly changing, disruptive, intelligent or otherwise 'dynamic' non-humans, such as weather, animals and automated devices. In doing so contributors challenge and take forward existing understandings of dynamic non-humans in theories of social practice by reconsidering their potential roles in everyday life. The book will benefit sociology, geography, science and technology studies, and human- (and animal-) computer interaction design scholars seeking to make sense of the complex entanglement of non-human phenomena and things in the performance of social practices.
