Kære søster Snart vil store skove igen vokse frem i os, tykke og sorte af næring. Tænk på dét. Tænk på at vi bliver den eneste lyd i verden. Din, A I Havbrevene skriver de to søstre Atlanterhavet og Middelhavet til hinanden om universet, livet på landjorden, klimaforandringerne og verdenshavenes store plan. Teksten er en alternativ skabelsesberetning, en utopi set fra havenes perspektiv, skrevet i et stærkt poetisk sprog af den anmelderroste forfatter Siri Ranva Hjelm Jacobsen og illustreret med originale grafiske tryk af billedkunstneren Dorte Naomi.

Et skib stævner ud med en morder ombord ...1859. Patrick Sumner får hyre som skibslæge på en hvalfanger med kurs mod polarcirklen. Sumner har et blakket ry fra Indien, hvor han gjorde tjeneste i den britiske hær.Da skibet er langt oppe i det nådesløse hav nær Vestgrønland, bliver en skibsdreng fundet myrdet, og Sumner tager affære. Han finder snart ud af, at han er oppe imod en brutalitet, der er langt værre end den, han oplevede under belejringen af Delhi. Han er oppe imod Henry Drax: harpunér, morder, monster. “Fuldkommen overbevisende og fængslende ... NORDHAVET er en opsigtsvækkende præstation.” MARTIN AMIS “Ian McGuires brutale roman om en arktisk hvalfangstekspedition fra det 19. århundrede er en stor hvid haj af en bog – hurtig, skræmmende, ubarmhjertig og umulig atstoppe.” NEW YORK TIMES "Der er både Melville, Conrad og Dickens i Ian McGuires roman" 5 stjerner, Jyllands-Posten ”Skidespændende hvalfangersejlads med mord om bord.” 5 hjerter, Politiken ”Et uforglemmeligt mesterværk. Intet mindre.” 6 stjerner, Bogpusheren "Nordhavet" [er] en af den slags bøger, der er svær at lægge fra sig -man kan snildt blæse igennem de lidt over 300 sider på en regnfuld lørdag. Den er nemlig særdeles velskrevet, og historien er fortalt lige ud af landevejen uden forvirrende krumspring og mærkelige twist i plottet." Lolland-Falsters Folketidende "Alene titlen. Omslaget. Et skib. En hval. Ærefrygt og storhed. Historiens vingesus … Gå du bare i krig med denne […] bog. Den er fantastisk spændende og også ind imellem ganske galgenhumoristisk." Bogsyn.dk "Jens Munk møder Kim Leine … en fremragende roman, som jeg håber vil få en stor læserskare også her i Danmark." Bogblogger.dk "Nordhavet er en beskidt, underholdende og særdeles nervepirrende historisk spændingsroman om en hvalfangerbåds skæbnesvangre rejse til det farefulde Nordhavet med en morder om bord. Det er Mørkets hjerte eller Blodets Meridian hensat til iskolde himmelstrøg og tilsat et fermt kriminalistisk plot." Kultur-cafeen.com "Nordhavet er elementært spændende, en barsk og utrolig velresearchet bog, der emmer af blod, beskidte mennesker, mørke drifter og ondskab og samtidig giver et indfølt billede af menneskets kamp mod naturen - og længslen efter den." Nordjyske Stiftstidende, 4 af 6 stjerner "Der er tale om et uforglemmeligt mesterværk! Intet mindre!" Københavneravisen.dk "Det er stor litteratur, der bringer mindelser om Herman Melville... flot læseoplevelse." Litteratursiden.dk

Livets oprindelse beskriver videnskabelige ideer om emnet i en blanding af tekst og billeder. Det et sammendrag af den nyere videnskabelige litteratur. Jorden er 4,6 milliarder år gammel, og livet startede for ca. 4 milliarder år siden. Det startede måske ved kontinentalsprækker som den, der i dag går ned gennem Atlanterhavet. Energi og livgivende molekyler kommer op af sprækkerne. De kunne have startet livet. Specielt i ”hvide skorstene”, også kaldet ”hydrotermiske hvælv”. Mange trin i udviklingen er udeladt, for at omfanget ikke bliver for stort. Nogle kemiske formler er med, men vær ikke bange, de er forklaret fra bunden. Samtidig er meget fagsprog udeladt. Værket fortæller om udviklingen af cellers stofskifte og slutter ved dannelsen af højere celler, også kaldet eukaryoter, for 2 milliarder år siden. Værket er tænkt til skolebørn og teenagere, men voksne må godt læse med. Om forfatterenKlaus Bahl Andersen er biokemiker og har altid holdt af at tegne.

I 1942 får den amerikanske søofficer Krause ansvaret for at eskortere en konvoj af skibe sikkert over Atlanterhavet uden at blive sprængt i stykker af de tyske ubåde. Krause har mange års erfaring i flåden, men dette er første gang, han er i krig, og han føler sig på mange punkter underlegen i forhold til sine underordnede kaptajner, der har været i krig i to år. Vi følger ham i løbet af 52 timer, hvor han kæmper for at træffe de rigtige beslutninger, alt imens han tvivler på sig selv og tænker tilbage på alt det, han har ofret for at nå til dette sted."Den gode hyrde" er både spændende som en krigsroman og som et psykologisk portræt af en amerikansk søofficer og det mindreværdskompleks, han trods sin store succes endnu kæmper med. Bogen er i 2020 blevet filmatiseret med Tom Hanks i hovedrollen under titlen "Greyhound".idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlC.S.

“Finsk litteratur ændrer sig til verdenslitteratur i hænderne på Olli Jalonen ... Ingen andre finske forfattere er i nærheden af at skrive som ham.” Helsingin Sanomat I HIMMELKUGLEN tager den store finske forfatter Olli Jalonen os med på en eventyrlig rejse tilbage til år 1679, hvor vi er vidne til sammenstødet mellem religionog videnskab, set gennem drengen Angus’ øjne. Angus er en fattig dreng, der bor på øen St. Helena i Sydatlanten, hvor han lever som faderløs med sin moder og sine søskende. Hans liv ændrer sig for altid, da han møder den unge videnskabsmand Edmond Halley som kommer til øen fra London for at udføre sine videnskabeligeundersøgelser af stjernehimlen. Halley lærer Angus om stjernerne, universet, og hvordan man træner sit syn og bliver et oplyst og tænkende menneske. Ved sin afrejse giver Halley Angus en opgave, hvor han skal markere stjernebillederne på nattehimlen hver nat. Der venter Angus mange andre store og farefulde opgaver, men mødet med Edmond Halley og drengens uovertrufne syn bliver det, der redder hans liv.HIMMELKUGLEN er en historisk roman, inspireret af den verdensberømte videnskabsmand og astronom Edmond Halleys liv. Halley var den første, der kortlagde en komets bane, og han fik den opkaldt efter sig som Halleys Komet. OLLI JALONEN har arbejdet i over 30 år på denne roman, som han blev inspireret til at skrive da han i starten af 1990'erne rejste med et træskib til øen St. Helena, og på den lange rejse læste han mange beretninger om øen og om Edmond Halleys rejse dertil i slutningen af 1600-tallet. Olli Jalonen er født i 1954 i Finland, ph.d. i litteratur og en af Finlands mest anerkendte og prisvindende forfattere.

Denne bog fortæller historien om, hvordan prins Harry mistede folkets gunst som følge af sit ægteskab med den smukke og dynamiske Hollywood-skuespillerinde og Suits-stjerne Meghan Markle. Lady Colin Campbell går bag kulisserne og taler med venner, familiemedlemmer, hoffolk og kolleger på begge sider af Atlanterhavet for at blotlægge den mest overraskende kongelige historie siden kong Edward 8.’s abdikation. Hun blotlægger de mange dilemmaer og udfordringer, der lurer under overfladen, og afslører, hvorfor parret valgte at træde tilbage som fremtrædende medlemmer af kongefamilien. Hun analyserer, hvilke konsekvenser kærligheden har haft for det unge og ambitiøse hertugpar, ligesom hun ser nærmere på, hvilken rolle drømmen om rigdom og berømmelse har spillet. I den forbindelse kommer hun også ind på den betydning, californisk kultur har haft for parrets adfærd. Meghan og Harry - Den sande historie afslører, hvordan hertugen og hertuginden af Sussex forsøgte at forandre det kongelige system, men fejlede. De prøvede at justere det, så det stemte overens med deres egne behov og ambitioner, og da det gik galt, besluttede de at skabe et helt nyt system – og liv – som var skræddersyet til dem alene.Uddrag af bogenDa Harry bragte emnet om ægteskab op hos sine bedsteforældre, påpegede prins Philip, som allerede var med på, hvorfor Meghan Markle ville finde det umuligt at passe ind i rollen som kongelig hertuginde uden en forudgående personlighedstransplantation, at ”vi har affærer med skuespillerinder; vi gifter os ikke med dem.” Dette var ikke snobberi fra hans side. De egenskaber, der gør en skuespiller succesfuld, er de absolut modsatte af dem, det kræver at være en god kongelig hertuginde, og der var for ham ingen tvivl om, at det ville være uretfærdigt over for både Meghan og monarkiet at forvente, at hun skulle udfylde en livstid med kongelige pligter med en fuldt udviklet personlighed, som var i strid med kravene til den kongelige rolle.Om forfatterenLady Colin Campbell (f. 1949) har skrevet en lang række bøger om det engelske kongehus, bl.a. den internationale bestseller om prinsesse Diana, Diana in Private.

Teddor, ein junger Mann, im Leben verunsichert, im Beruf desillusioniert, schlägt, nachdem er sich in die Enge getrieben und zu Unrecht angeklagt fühlt, einen Weg in die vermeintliche Freiheit ein. Aber wie so oft in seinem bisherigen Leben leistet er sich bei der Auswahl des Segelbootes, das ihn der erträumten Zukunft näherbringen soll, einen fatalen Fehlgriff.

Doch er lernt eine Frau kennen, die in ihm mehr zu sehen vermag als er selber von sich weiß.

The Allied Chaplains of the American, British, Canadian and Polish armies in the battles for Northwestern Europe and in the Battle of the Atlantic are often overlooked due to their small numbers in relation to the hundreds of thousands of other men who made up the Allied armies. However, the chaplains were highly respected and appreciated by the men in the various units they served, as well as often being incredibly brave men who were (and are) forbidden by the rules of war from carrying any sort of weapon into battle, beyond their holy books and their faith. Allied chaplains suffered the second highest loss rate of killed or wounded of any group of men in World War II (second only to that of RAF Bomber Command) and were virtually irreplaceable due to the academic and religious training that took years to complete.This book looks at the Allied Chaplains who died during the Battle for France in 1940, endured the horrors of the Dunkirk evacuation, died in the battles on the North Atlantic (due to the sinking of their ships by German U-Boats), in the Battle for Normandy in 1944, during the Allied liberation of occupied Europe, and the defeat of Germany. It includes information about their lives before entering military chaplaincy, their deaths and sometimes the differing accounts of their deaths, as well as their final resting places in cemeteries across Europe andin the United States of America or where they are commemorated on Memorial Walls to the Missing.The Revd Dr Thomas Wilson has had an interest in WW II military history since he was 12 years old. Revd Wilson had a career in the business world before answering the call to ordained ministry. He was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada, and served as the Rector of a parish in Southwestern Ontario. In 2007, he had the chance to spend a year in France, on a university exchange program that his wife, Professor Dawn Cornelio was coordinating. While there, they led some of the Canadian students on a visit to Normandy, where they all participated in graveside memorial Service for Canadian Chaplain Walter Brown. It was Padre Brown's murder that led Revd Wilson to initially explore all the Allied Chaplainskilled in the Battle for Normandy. After moving to serve as the Rector of a Scottish Episcopal (Anglican) Church for over 5 years, Revd Wilson now is the Anglican Chaplain of St Raphael and the Var in southern France where he ministers to a multi-national English-speaking congregation

Beaches & Bootlegging: The true stories of Prohibition Era FloridaProhibition is recognized as one of the most unpopular laws in US history. It was so unpopular at the time that some Floridians weren't all too keen on obeying it. Learn how it was instigated by small town Protestants who believed that newer immigrants living in big cities were immoral because of their emphatic use of alcohol. Prohibition bred corruption, defiance of the law, and hypocrisy as illegal bootlegging, moonshining and rum running replaced legitimate taxpaying industries. Florida actually voted state-wide Prohibition into law before the dreaded 18th amendment and was the only state to elect a governor from the Prohibition Party. Florida's Bill McCoy "The Real McCoy" founded Rum Row and became an international celebrity as he made a mockery of the U.S. Coast Guard's inability to squelch his innovative rum running operations. Al Capone, the infamous gangster, vacationed in Florida while his henchmen perpetrated the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Many virtually unknown stories of tragic killings in Florida during Prohibition are also recounted as author Randy Jaye guides readers through Florida's Prohibition Era.
