"A fascinating, mouthwatering journey into the food and history of the northern Japanese island that brilliantly showcases its unique cultural and culinary heritage." – Melissa Thompson
Hokkaido is a cookbook that celebrates Japan’s northernmost island. Known especially for its seafood and dairy products, Hokkaido is a Japanese prefecture that has long been beloved for its vibrant culinary scene.
The prefecture incorporates three foodways – European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and indigenous Ainu gastronomy – which have led to it to have a distinct food culture from the rest of Japan. Hokkaido showcases the variety – and quality! – of the food that the prefecture has to offer with a selection of delicious recipes. Think Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter and Rice Dumplings with Walnut Sauce; big dishes such as Fried Salmon Rice Bowl and Sapporo Miso Ramen; and sweet treats like ‘Snowmelt’ Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate.
The recipes mostly fall into two categories: traditional, regional dishes and homages to specific dishes. There are also four Ainu recipes, which have been contributed by an Ainu chef, Hiroaki Kon. With travelogues exploring different regions, as well as beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.

Power and Contestation
Ordinær pris 239,00 kr Salgspris 179,00 kr Spar 25%1989 marks the unraveling of India's 'Nehruvian Consensus' around the idea of a modern, secular nation with a self-reliant economy. Caste and religion have come to play major roles in national politics. Global economic integration has led to conflict between the state and dispossessed people, but processes of globalization have also enabled new spaces for political assertion, such as around sexuality.
Older challenges to the idea of India continue from movements in Kashmir and the North-East, while Maoist insurgency has deepened its bases. In a world of American Empire, India as a nuclear power has abandoned non-alignment, a shift that is contested by voices within. Power and Contestation shows that the turbulence and turmoil of this period are signs of India's continued vibrancy and democracy.
The book is an ideal introduction to the complex internal histories and external power relations of a major global player for the new century.
Putins presse
Ordinær pris 199,00 krDenne boka er unik ved at den på en praktisk måte sammenlikner hvordan de statskontrollerte fjernsynskanalene og det som fortsatt er igjen av mer uavhengige russiske medier rapporterter om Krim, Ukraina, Norge, Baltikum, Tsjetsjenia, Georgia, historie, politikk og en rekke andre temaer. Boka er en hyllest til de tøffe og uavhengige journalistene i Russland som med stor integritet fortsetter å jobbe profesjonelt til tross for hyppige drap, overfall, trusler og statlig press.
Boka er med på å forklare hvordan flertallet av russere ofte tenker annerledes en andre europeere, og er en påminnelse om hva som skjer når man ikke lenger makter å tenke kritisk.

Seeds of Terror
Ordinær pris 149,00 krSeeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about the West's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn billions of pounds every year off the opium trade. With the breakneck pace of a thriller, author Gretchen Peters traces their illicit activities from the vast poppy fields of southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders, from drug convoys armed with Stinger missiles to the money launderers of Karachi and Dubai.
