Smugler eller grenselos? på innsiden av vår tids største folkevandring
Ordinær pris 399,00 krHver eneste dag blir flyktninger og andre migranter smuglet over noen av verdens farligste grenser. Hva er det som gjør at millioner av mennesker legger sitt eget og sine barns liv i hendene på menneskesmuglere for å la seg frakte over snødekte fjellkjeder, glohete ørkener og åpne hav?
Hvem er bakmennene, og kvinnene, som muliggjør disse reisene, og hvor går grensen mellom menneskesmugling og menneskehandel? Stemmer egentlig det bildet politikere og media har skapt av smuglere som utelukkende onde og skruppelløse?
I Makedonia kjører et 80 år gammelt ektepar syriske flyktninger over grensen, skjult under falske høyballer på lasteplanet sitt. Gjennom Sahara kjører akademikeren Abeo turister om dagen og flyktninger om natten. I Middelhavet loser en gammel fisker mennesker bort fra tvungen internering skjult i fiskebåten sin og i Libanon har etablerte reisebyråer endret kundegruppen sin.
I Libya er slavemarkedene i full drift, torturen en del av hverdagen og menneskerettigheter brytes uten at noen reagerer. Hvordan ender norske skattepenger i hendene på libysk milits?
I over tjue år har Kristina Quintano fulgt menneskesmuglere i og rundt Middelhavet. Med denne boken trekker hun paralleller mellom vår tids menneskesmuglere og fortidens grenseloser.
Smugler eller grenselos? På innsiden av vår tids største folkevandring tar oss med på innsiden, til dem som muliggjør vår tids største folkevandring. Dette er et unikt portrett av de smuglerne politikerne vil til livs.

Amazing Boat Journeys
Ordinær pris 319,00 krExperience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.
That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddle-steamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.
Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.

From ancient ruins and crumbling castles to more recent relics – an art deco New York subway station, a Soviet ghost town in the Arctic Circle, a flooded Thai mall teeming with aquatic life – Travis Elborough takes you on a journey into these strange, overlooked and disappearing worlds and immortalises them in this book of original maps, accompanied by moving historic and geographic accounts of each site.
The featured locations are a stark reminder of what was, and the accounts in this investigative book help to bring their stories back to life, telling us what happened, when and why, and to whom. The book features 40 sites, including: Santa Claus, Arizona, USA: A festive tourist resort-turned-ghost town deep in the desert where you could once meet Santa Claus any day of the year; Crystal Palace Subway, London, UK: One of the city’s best-kept secrets is an underground, cathedral-like relic that many Victorian commuters bustled through; Montserrat, West Indies: The small Caribbean island with a population of 5,000 that was evacuated when its volcano erupted in 1995. The volcano is still active and nearly half the island remains a designated exclusion zone; Balaklava Submarine Base, Crimea: The former top-secret Soviet submarine base that was kept off all official maps and known as Object 825 GTS; Volterra Psychiatric Hospital, Tuscany, Italy: Once dubbed ‘the place of no return’, this long-closed lunatic asylum once housed 6,000 patients who were never allowed to leave.
