Dampskibsselskabet Norden fejrer i 2021 som et af Danmarks ældste rederier sit 150-års jubilæum. Denne bog kommer Norden Rundt: I det første halve århundrede fra stiftelsen i 1871 var Norden en lysende pioner inden for dansk shipping. Dernæst fulgte fem årtier præget af finansiel stabilitet og nogen stilstand. Men i begyndelsen af 1990?erne indledtes rejsen mod en ledende position på verdens tørlastmarked. I takt med, at omverdenen har forandret sig teknologisk, økonomisk og politisk, omstillede Norden sig. Nogle gange skete det gradvist. I andre tilfælde mere abrupt. Men aldrig forudsigeligt.

Home heating that's safe, clean, efficient, and uses 70 to 90 percent less fuel than a typical woodstove Heating with wood is often considered a natural and economical alternative to electricity or fossil fuels. However, even with a fairly new and efficient woodstove, many cords of wood are required for burning over the course of a single winter, and incomplete combustion can contribute to poor air quality. A rocket mass heater is an earthen masonry heating system which provides clean, safe and efficient warmth for your home, all while using 70-90% less fuel than a traditional woodstove. These unique and beautiful installations provide luxurious comfort year-round. In cold weather a few hours of clean, hot burning can provide 20 or more hours of steady warmth, while the unit's large thermal mass acts as a heat sink, cooling your home on sizzling summer days. Packed with hard-to-find information, The Rocket Mass Heater Builder's Guide includes: Comprehensive design, construction and installation instructions combined with detailed maintenance and troubleshooting advice Brick-by-brick layouts, diagrams, and architectural plans augmented with detailed parts drawings and photographs for clarity Relevant and up-to-date code information and standards to help you navigate the approval process with local building departments. Earthen masonry heating systems are well-suited for natural and conventional builders alike. A super-efficient, wood-burning, rocket mass heater can help you dramatically reduce your energy costs while enhancing the beauty, value and comfort of your home.

In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin retells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination. Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: 'before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home.' Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero's long, hard, killing tools, our ancestors' greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars. This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota: unknown lands where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew. With a new introduction by Donna Haraway, the eminent cyberfeminist, author of the revolutionary A Cyborg Manifesto and most recently, Staying with the Trouble and Manifestly Haraway. With images by Lee Bul, a leading South Korean feminist artist who had a retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery in 2018.

Florent-Claude Labrouste er 46 år gammel og ansat i Landbrugsministeriet. Han bor sammen med sin tyve år yngre japanske kæreste Yuzu i en luksuslejlighed i Paris, men er led og ked af sit job, og sin unge, smukke kæreste har han kun foragt til overs for. Han begynder så småt at lege med tanken om at slå hende ihjel, men beslutter sig i stedet for at forsvinde frivilligt. Han opsiger sin stilling, forlader sin kæreste og indlogerer sig på et af de få hoteller i Paris, hvor man stadig må ryge. Herfra drager han ud på landet i et Frankrig ødelagt af globalisering og EUs landbrugspolitik, og hvor landmændene slider med at få enderne til at mødes og nu er modne til oprør. Det eneste, der stadig holder ham oppe, er stadig højere doser af det antidepressive middel, Captorix – og tanken om måske igen at møde sin tidligere kæreste Camille. Men er det i det hele taget muligt at være lykkelig i det moderne vestlige samfund? Forfatteren kan opleves på Louisiana Literature 22.-25. august 2019. Pressen skriver: »Houellebecq er Le Monstre Sacré i fransk litteratur, og han hvæser, syder og sprutter som et rigtigt uhyre, hvad skal han ellers gøre, hans kritik fører ingen steder hen. Men selv ikke han kan finde rigtig ro i den absolutte nihilisme, tror jeg.« *****– Jyllands-Posten »En stor roman og en lille verdenshistorie. Michel Houellebecqs syvende spektakulære roman er fuld af antidepressiver, onani, samtidsdiagnose, menneskehad og dannelse – og længsel efter lykke.« – Information »Barokt humoristisk og ætsende spydig.« ***** – Berlingske »Med Sérotonine cementerer Houellebecq sit ry som en af vor tids bedst skrivende samfundsrevsere og den menneskelige ensomheds skjald, der rammer plet i sin ofte sydende vittige samtidskritik.« – Weekendavisen »Michel Houellebecq lever op til sit rygte om at holde sit forvredne spejl op for det moderne samfund… Og så adskiller romanen sig ved på sin egen bagvendte måde at åbne døren til noget ellers uset i Houellebecqs univers: muligheden for kærlighed til en kvinde.« ***** – Kristeligt Dagblad »Det fantastiske ved Houellebecqs nye roman er, at den tager gravalvorlige emner op, som man samtidig kommer til at le ad… Houellebecq er i storform og manifesterer med Serotonin, at han er en af Europas største nulevende forfattere.« – Pov.international »Houllebecq er en forfatter som de er bedst – en slags tidssvarende shaman med en frygtindgydende indsigt som almuen bævende og varsomt føler sig draget af. Denne slags indsigt er ikke én-til-én med virkeligheden naturligvis, men slags forstærket essens eller spejling vi kan drage nytte af hvis vi formår det. Shamanen levede også på kanten af sit samfund, på en gang udstødt og i centrum. Ligeså med Houllebecq og hans hovedpersoner. De befinder sig på kanten af den verden resten af os har taget for givet, og kan derfor se på det med en anden klarhed. « – Solidaritet »Serotonin er et brag af en bog. Det er Houllebecq, når han er allerbedst… Houllebecq forstår at skrive antihelte frem, så man både har medlidenhed med deres uformåen og raser over deres kvindehad og misantropi. « – Bogblogger.dk
