Forlagets omtale:

over grensen og hjem er den nye boken til en av latin-amerikas mest anerkjente nålevende forfattere. Erasmus aragon bor I mexico der han jobber som journalist, men drømmer stadig om å vende tilbake til sitt hjemland el salvador. Han planlegger å starte et nytt liv og jobbe for et tidsskrift. Han ser det samtidig som en rømningsvei vekk fra det stormfulle forholdet til eva, som han har en datter med. Men før han reiser besøker han legen chente for å få hjelp med magesmerter. Legen foreslår hypnose og erasmus blir etterhvert usikker på hva han har fortalt legen under behandlingen, samtidig blir han stadig mer paranoid ettersom han minnes mer og mer fra sitt tidligere liv I el salvador. «et velkomment, øyeåpnende bidrag til den nye litteraturen om det latinamerikanske marerittet" anderson tepper - time out new york «det er dusinvis av øyeblikk I over grensen og hjem, den kjappe, fantastiske nye romanen til horacio castellanos moya, der leseren forventer at fortellingen beveger seg mot det surrealistiske. (...) men det briljante med hr. Castellanos moyas nye roman, helt klart hans beste så langt, ligger I hvor urokkelig den nekter å benytte disse gamle triksene. (... ) den har den intense vitalitet til stor litteratur, den typen som viser det spesifikt menneskelige I omstendigheter der vår medfølelse ellers for det meste ville forblitt teoretisk.» charles finch, the new york times «herlig komisk og urovekkende (...) castellanos moya har gjort angst til en kunstform og en opprørshandling.» natasha wimmer - the nation «besk humor, som en buster keaton film eller en tidsinnstilt bombe.» roberto bolaño

Chris Scott and his band of globetrotting contributors and specialists have put together the definitive manual for planning and undertaking a vehicle-dependent overlanding adventure across the wilds of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The Overlanders' Handbook is written in the same entertaining yet clear jargon-free English for which Chris's other books are known - it doesn't assume you know your plug gap from a radiator cap. This second edition has been re-researched and updated into a more compact book published as a paperback, rather than a hardback as before.

Includes:

1. Planning - When to go; typical costs; documentation; sponsorship; early overland journeys. 

2. Vehicle choice and preparation - The Overlanders' Handbook is the most comprehensive account in print, covering everything from adapting a cheap car to equipping a campervan or 4x4 for months on the road, or even building and outfitting your own accommodation module to mount on an all-terrain truck chassis.

3. Life on the road - How to handle dodgy borders, haggle over a purchase, treat a dodgy stomach and cope with crazy driving conditions. Guidance on wild camping; navigation and mapping strategies; onward shipping; advice for solo women overlanders; travelling with children or with pets; vehicle repairs and troubleshooting; and off-road driving techniques.

4. Continental route outlines - Guidelines on both popular and obscure overland routes through Asia, Africa and Latin America. Includes fuel prices, easiest borders and best seasons, visa strategies, danger zones and regional highlights.

5. Overlanders' Tales - Half a dozen accounts of global adventures lasting months or even years in vans, 4x4s and all-terrain trucks - from contributors aged from 9 to 69.

Du og jeg er innvevd i naturens flettverk, mye tettere enn du tror. Millioner av arter gir oss mat, medisin og et levelig miljø, i tillegg til at naturen gir oss kunnskap og glede.

På engasjerende vis forteller Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson spennende og tankevekkende fortellinger om naturen. Forfatteren tar oss med ut i regnskogen, der orkidebiene lager parfyme og pollinerer nøttene du spiser i jula. Inn i den svale skyggen under bygatenes store trær, de som gjør at vi trenger mindre luftkjøling. Ned i skyttergravene der soldatene brukte selvlysende sopp som lykt i måneløse netter. Vi får lese om trær i gammelskogen som gir oss kreftmedisin og isfuglen som inspirerte konstruksjonen av lyntog. Men også om hvordan vår framferd kan sette alt dette i fare. For i vår evne til å utnytte naturen, ligger også risikoen for å undergrave vårt eget livsgrunnlag. Vi snakker i dag om en naturkrise, der arter trues og levesteder forsvinner - en krise like akutt og alvorlig som klimakrisen. Skal vi sikre vår egen framtid, må vi endre måten vi lever på. Vi må lære oss å spille på lag med naturen.

Bradt's Paddling France is the first practical guidebook to explore the whole country by SUP (stand-up paddleboard), canoe and kayak - waterborne activities enjoying a popularity boom. Experienced paddleboarder, travel writer and local resident Anna Richards has toured the country's rivers, lakes and coasts to handpick 40 outstanding itineraries for water-based exploration that suit all abilities from novice to expert, enabling readers to experience Metropolitan France as never before!Suggested routes extend from Brittany to the Spanish and Italian borders, and encompass some of France's best-known tourist attractions - from the châteaux of the Loire Valley and Mont Saint-Michel to the Pont du Gard and Dune du Pilat - as well as less familiar destinations such as Der-Chantecoq Lake, Txingudi Bay and the Glénan Islands. Itineraries occupy dramatically varied landscapes: choose between paddling past coastal cliffs, small islands and steepling gorges, across twinkling lakes and down sparkling rivers, through wine regions, and even around urban surprises such as Lille's five-point citadelle.
