I Alaska kan man dø på hundrede måder, men det er ikke altid naturen, der er den farligste …Leni er tretten år, da hendes impulsive far beslutter, at familien skal flytte til Alaska. I vildmarken kan de endelig leve, som de selv vil, være frie og uafhængige. I første omgang lader Alaska til at være svaret på deres bønner. De lange solskinsdage og de lokales sammenhold og generøsitet opvejer familiens manglende forberedelse og svindende ressourcer. Leni begynder at tro på en bedre fremtid for sig selv og sin familie, og følelsen af at høre til vokser, da hun bliver venner med den betænksomme Matthew.Men efterhånden som vinteren nærmer sig, og mørket sænker sig over Alaska, bliver forældrenes i forvejen vanskelige forhold forværret. I deres lille hytte – dækket af sne og indhyllet i atten timers mørke – går den frygtelige sandhed op for Leni og hendes mor: De er alene, og der er ingen, der kan hjælpe dem.Himlen over vildmarken er en smuk og barsk fortælling om jagten på et bedre liv, kærlighed, overlevelse og den rå vildskab, der skjuler sig i både mennesket og naturen.Pressen skrev: ”En rig, overbevisende roman om kærlighed, opofrelse og overlevelse. Lige så episk som det landskab, der beskrives så levende.”– Kate Morton”Episk.”– Washington Post”En kraftpræstation, der vil begejstre alle fans.”– Kirkus”En mægtig og gribende familiefortælling.”– People Magazine”Dragende og fuld af betagende beskrivelser af Alaskas natur.”– The New York Times”Hannah levendegør Alaskas skønhed og farer og tegner et overbevisende portræt af en familie i krise og et samfund i forandring.”– Booklist”En overbevisende og velskrevet familiesaga.”– Publishers Weekly“Fans vil sætte pris på historiens skarpsindighed og den ubrydelige forbindelse mellem mor og barn.”– Library Journal

Alt hvad vi var er den dramatiske fortælling om hvordan kærlighed og kunst kan forandre verdenen. Den stærke fortælling med afsæt i historiske begivenheder, danner grundlag for skæbnefortællinger med stærke kvinder i centrum.I Sovjetunionen i 1949 bliver den berømte forfatter Boris Pasternak stemplet af myndighederne som systemkritisk og senere ekskluderet, inden hans manuskript om den nye kærlighedsroman Doktor Zjivago, når at blive udgivet. Olga Ivinskaja, der er en nær ven og elskerinde til forfatteren Boris Pasternak, bliver herefter sendt i arbejdslejr. Forfatterens manuskript bliver smuglet ud af landet, og romanen formår at blive en verdenssensation. CIA planlægger i 1956 at bruge den verdenskendte roman som et våben i Den Kolde Krig, hvor de to agenter som bliver bragt i spil, ikke er som de fleste andre. Her står den erfarne og charmerende spion Sally og den lovende nybegynder Irina over for deres livs udfordring. Opgaven er skræmmende svær, da de skal smugle den meget omtalte roman tilbage ind i Sovjetunionen, koste hvad det vil.

Inspireret af en sand historie har Jamie Ford skrevet en vidunderlig bittersød roman om at finde kærligheden i en verden, hvor alt – også mennesker – er til salg.Seattle 1909. For den halvkinesiske børnehjemsdreng Ernest virker tilbuddet om at besøge den store verdensudstilling som noget af en gave, men midt i al hurlumhejet med eksotiske udstillinger, fyrværkeri og pariserhjul opdager han, at det i virkeligheden er ham, der er gaven. Dagens store begivenhed er bortlodningen af 'en sund og rask dreng til et godt hjem' – ham!Vinderloddet viser sig at tilhøre den flamboyante Madam Flora, der driver et bordel for byens bedre borgerskab og bryster sig af at tage sig godt af sine piger. Her får Ernest job som stikirenddreng og får for første gang nogensinde noget, der minder om et hjem og en familie.I 1962, godt halvtreds år senere, er der igen verdensudstilling i byen. Ernest er nu en ældre mand, og hans datter Juju, der er journalist på den lokale avis, stiller nysgerrige spørgsmål til den første verdensudstilling. Der er minder fra den tid, Ernest helst ikke vil genbesøge, og gamle hemmeligheder, der ikke må se dagens lys, men samtidig må Ernest måske åbne lidt op, hvis han også skal hjælpe sin syge kone med at få hukommelsen tilbage.”En stemningsfuld, inderlig og smuk fortælling … Det er Ford, når han er bedst.”– Kristin Hannah, forfatter til Nattergalen

Gennem mere end 10 år har forfatteren Robert Zola Christensen rejst i hælene på den kendte danske klimaforsker Sebastian H. Mernild. Sammen har de to været på ekspedition til nogle af verdens mest fjerne egne for at dokumentere, hvad det forandrende klima gør ved vores klode. For der hersker ingen tvivl. Klimaet er under enorme forandringer. Der bliver målt stigende vandstande mange steder, det er blevet varmere, og isen smelter på polerne. Konsekvenserne er enorme.I Da kulden forsvandt tager Sebastian H.  Mernild og Robert Zola Christensen os med ud på Indlandsisen for at bore efter is i flere kilometers dybde, vi er fanget i en snestorm højt oppe i Andesbjergene, og så møder vi de mennesker, der må forlade deres hjem, fordi klimaet tvinger dem væk.Bogen er en barsk og samtidig livsbekræftende reportagerejse til klimafronten, hvor to venner – naturvidenskabsmanden og humanisten – dokumenterer den brutale og uundgåelige udvikling, vi alle er vidne til, og sammen reflekterer de to over, hvad der skal til for at fylde fremtiden med håb.

Uendelige skove – vilde floder – øde bjergegne – møder med det lokale dyreliv – møder med meget gæstfrie lokale beboere. Det kraftfulde nordamerikanske vejr har også ved flere lejligheder sat denne cyklist på prøve. Alt dette har bogens forfatter været udsat for siden den første tur i 1985. Dog har de positive oplevelser været i klart overtal. Derfor er det blevet til alle disse ture. Fra Alaska i nordvest og Vancouver Island i sydvest til New Foundland helt ude mod øst. Uddrag af bogenDet sidste sted, hvor jeg havde spist og købt proviant til det kommende stykke vej, havde jeg købt en pose lakridser! I det gode vejr sad jeg på cyklen og guffede løs af denne pose. Det interesserede andre væsener sig også for! Pludselig var jeg forfulgt af en stor sværm nærgående bier. Helt tydeligt på jagt efter det, som jeg havde liggende øverst i styrtasken! De må have lugtet det søde stads? Da fik jeg fart på cyklen! Jeg kunne godt acceptere at blive stukket af myg. Det var en helt anden sag med bier! Endelig var jeg alene på vejen igen. Insekterne opgav forfølgelsen, og jeg kunne trille mod byen Fort Nelson, godt og vel 4.000 indbyggere og altså en storby med lyskryds og hele! Om forfatteren Lars Nielsen (f. 1955) tog realeksamen på Hobro Gymnasium i 1973. Arbejdede som slagteriarbejder fra 1973 til 2017, hvor han gik på efterløn og siden blev pensionist. Han har cyklet ”turcykling” siden 1980, og disse ture har tilsammen givet en distance på 169.743 km (2023). Han holder foredrag om sit cykelliv og er blevet hædret ved at blive optaget hos Travellers Club, Oslo (Tramplaget) og Adventurers’ Club, Los Angeles, ligesom han er ”ven” med De Berejstes Klub, Danmark.

I Alaska i slutningen af 1800-tallet raser guldfeberen stadig. Mineejer og forretningsmand Roy Glennister er en succesrig mand, da dommer Chester kommer til byen for at rydde op i den bundløst korrupte by. Roy forelsker sig i dommerens datter Helen og på den måde ender han med at spille en vigtig rolle i dommerens kamp for retfærdighed. Da rigmanden Alex McNamara flytter til byen for at overtage al minedrift, bliver det svært for Roy at bevare sin position, hvis ikke han også skal bruge lyssky midler. Alex McNamara bruger nemlig trusler, bestikkelse og vold i sit forsøg på at overtage byen.”Banditterne” er en bog om kampen for retfærdighed i en tid, hvor grådighed og korruption hersker overalt i Klondike. Bogen udkom første gang i 1906 og blev straks en bestseller. I 1914 blev den filmatiseret med nogle af datidens største stjerner i hovedrollerne.Rex Ellingwood Beach (1877-1949) var en amerikansk roman- og skuespilforfatter, der skrev en lang række bøger, der senere blev filmatiseret. I starten af det tyvende århundrede rejste han ligesom mange andre unge til Alaska for at grave efter guld. Han fandt aldrig noget, men begyndte i stedet at skrive romaner. De første var inspireret af Jack London og foregik i vildmarken, men da han selv vendte tilbage til civilisationen, gjorde handlingen og karaktererne i hans romaner det også. Mange af Rex Ellingwood Beachs værker er oversat til fremmedsprog, og flere er blevet udgivet på dansk.

An eighty-year overview of wood and argillite carving by Indigenous women artists on the Northwest Coast.Though women of the Northwest Coast have long carved poles, canoes, panels, and masks, many of these artists have not become as well known outside their communities as their male counterparts. These artists are cherished within their communities for helping to keep traditional carving practices alive, and for maintaining the dances, songs, and ceremonies that are intertwined with visual art production. This book, and an associated exhibition at the Audain Art Museum, gathers a range of sculptural formats by Indigenous women in order to expand the discourse of carving in the region.Both the exhibition and publication are co-curated by Dana Claxton, artist, filmmaker and head of the University of British Columbia’s Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory; and Dr. Curtis Collins, the AAM’s Director & Chief Curator. Commentaries by Skeena Reece, Claxton, and Marika Swan, and interviews with artists Dale Campbell and Mary Anne Barkhouse are presented alongside more than one hundred artworks from public and private collections across North America, including several newly commissioned pieces.Featured artists include:Ellen Neel (Kwakwaka'wakw, 1916–1966)Freda Diesing (Haida, 1925–2002)Doreen Jensen (Gitxsan, 1933–2009)Susan Point (Musqueam, b. 1952)Dale Campbell (Tahltan, b. 1954)Marianne Nicolson (Kwakwaka’wakw, b. 1969)Arlene Ness (Gitxsan, b. 1970s)Melanie Russ (Haida, b. 1977)Marika Swan (Nuu-chah-nulth, b. 1982)Morgan Asoyuf (Ts’msyen, b. 1984)Cori Savard (Haida, b. 1985)Cherish Alexander (Gitwangak, b. 1987)Stephanie Anderson (Wetsuwet’en, b. 1991)Veronica Waechter (Gitxsan, b. 1995)

Was the poet, William Wordsworth, right when he wrote "the child is the father of the man"? That is the question Jane Meyer asks Ruth Lucas in a letter. Best friends since high school, and now in their early thirties, Ruth and Jane keep in close touch through letters, phone calls, and when they can, visits.When Ruth gets Jane's letter with this question about Wordsworth's line, she decides to review what stood out in her childhood and ask herself if those times informed and shaped the woman she became. This process takes her weeks and traverses early family memories, her college years, a job in Washington, her first lover, and other experiences on her way to becoming her own woman. Her answer to Jane's question is Love, Ruthie.

In modern-day Seattle, Cole paces through the mundane, counting down the minutes until he can see his fiancée, Beth, to celebrate his 26th birthday. However, they did not celebrate when an emergency telecast took over every screen in the country to announce the impending nuclear doom, flying toward every major city in the United States. The city fell into chaos while Cole and Beth fought their way home to simply enjoy their last night alone and make peace with the sun about to set on their lives. It was when they woke up the next morning that they thought themselves the lucky ones. Only time would educate them on how unlucky they truly were.What would be universally referred to as The Fall, by survivors across the continent had far worse things in store than nuclear warfare. We watch the world unravel through the eyes of two desperate survivors, who are by no means heroes. In a world where cities become the home to creatures that stalk the night and mankind teeters on the brink of extinction, we see what true desperation really looks like. What people will do when they look death in the eye every single day when there is no room for honor or peace.We see what mankind is really capable of at its core and why it might very well be the worst parasite to plague the earth.
