Har du lagt mærke til, at de danske motorvejsskilte er grønne, mens de i størstedelen af Europa er blå? Eller at vi i Danmark tænder lyset ved at slå vippekontakten ned, hvor man i mange andre lande slår kontakten op? Og at vi på dansk siger tallene bagfra, mens man på de fleste sprog siger dem forfra, som når englændere og svenskere siger fifty-four og femtiofyra. I et halvt århundrede har Morten Schøler arbejdet og boet i mange lande, som han har sammenlignet med Danmark. De mange iagttagelser fortæller han om i bogen, der er fuld af overraskelser om blandt andet geografi, historie, sprog, grundlove, forvaltning, økonomi, uddannelse, arbejde, omgangsform, ulandshjælp, mad, sundhed, trafik, musik, nationalsange, sport og religion. Danmark og Verden balancerer mellem lovprisning og konstruktiv kritik af Danmark og er fortalt med både overbevisende eksempler og kærlig humor. Undervejs opdager man, at meget kan siges og gøres bedre og mere logisk, end vi er vant til i Danmark.Bogen er rigt illustreret af Niels Roland, der i 20 år har tegnet i Weekendavisen og har udgivet en række bøger i eget navn.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The visionary author of How to Do Nothing returns to challenge the notion that ‘time is money.’ . . . Expect to feel changed by this radical way of seeing.”—Esquire “One of the most important books I’ve read in my life.”—Ed Yong, author of An Immense WorldA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Chicago Public Library, Electric LitIn her first book, How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the “attention economy” to spend time in quiet contemplation. But what if you don’t have time to spend?In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently. Odell shows us how our painful relationship to time is inextricably connected not only to persisting social inequities but to the climate crisis, existential dread, and a lethal fatalism.This dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful book offers us different ways to experience time—inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales—that can bring within reach a more humane, responsive way of living. As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding; the stretchy quality of waiting and desire; the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory; the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy; the time it takes to heal from injuries. Odell urges us to become stewards of these different rhythms of life in which time is not reducible to standardized units and instead forms the very medium of possibility.Saving Time tugs at the seams of reality as we know it—the way we experience time itself—and rearranges it, imagining a world not centered on work, the office clock, or the profit motive. If we can “save” time by imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside these things, time might also save us.

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**'Desperately needed' - Isabella Tree'I doubt any more important book will published this year' - Stephen FryIn this indispensable follow up to his acclaimed The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World, Charles Clover chronicles how determined individuals are proving that the crisis in our oceans can be reversed, with benefits for both local communities and entire ecosystems. Rewilding the Sea celebrates what happens when we step aside and let nature repair the damage: whether it is the overfishing of bluefin tuna across the Atlantic, the destruction of coral gardens by dredgers in Lyme Bay or the restoration of oysters on the East Coast of America.The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging create more CO2 than the aviation industry and damage vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. We need to fish in different ways, where we fish at all. We can store carbon and have more fish by stepping aside more often and trusting nature.Essential and revelatory, Rewilding the Sea propels us to rethink our relationship with nature and reveals that saving our oceans is easier than we think.

New from the author of acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs ("A masterpiece of science writing" ?Washington Post) and ?one of the stars of modern paleontology? (National Geographic), a sweeping and revelatory history of mammals, illuminating the lost story of the extraordinary family tree that led to us We humans are the inheritors of a dynasty that has reigned over the planet for nearly 66 million years, through fiery cataclysm and ice ages: the mammals. Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, cave bears three times the weight of a grizzly, clever scurriers that outlasted Tyrannosaurus rex, and even other types of humans, like Neanderthals. Indeed humankind and many of the beloved fellow mammals we share the planet with today?lions, whales, dogs?represent only the few survivors of a sprawling and astonishing family tree that has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. How did we get here?In his acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs?hailed as ?the ultimate dinosaur biography? by Scientific American?American paleontologist Steve Brusatte enchanted readers with his definitive his - tory of the dinosaurs. Now, picking up the narrative in the ashes of the extinction event that doomed T-rex and its kind, Brusatte explores the remarkable story of the family of animals that inherited the Earth?mammals? and brilliantly reveals that their story is every bit as fascinating and complex as that of the dinosaurs.Beginning with the earliest days of our lineage some 325 million years ago, Brusatte charts how mammals survived the asteroid that claimed the dinosaurs and made the world their own, becoming the astonishingly diverse range of animals that dominate today's Earth. Brusatte also brings alive the lost worlds mammals inhabited through time, from ice ages to volcanic catastrophes. Entwined in this story is the detective work he and other scientists have done to piece together our understanding using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology.A sterling example of scientific storytelling by one of our finest young researchers, The Rise and Reign of the Mammals illustrates how this incredible history laid the foundation for today's world, for us, and our future.

Pausanias på dansk – komplet for første gangHelligdomme, templer, ritualer, gude- og atletstatuer – historie, natur, religion og myter – indviklede mytologiske fortællinger og gudernes erotiske eskapader – evindelige krige mellem byernes magtfulde familier, glorværdige sejre og forsmædelige nederlag, svig og bedrag – alt går hånd i hånd, når Pausanias har ordet.Pausanias blev født i den vestlige græske del af Tyrkiet i begyndelsen af 2. årh. e.Kr., mens den græskvenlige Hadrian var kejser i det vidtstrakte Romerrige, og han døde under kejser Marcus Aurelius. Han begynder sin beskrivelse ved Kap Sunion i Attika og tager os med på en tur gennem det klassiske frie Grækenlands vigtigste områder. Hans hensigt er at skildre ‘alt det græske’ fra storhedstiden, 600- til 300-tallet f.Kr. Det gælder især det, han kan opsøge og se med egne øjne, men også det han kan læse sig til eller får fortalt undervejs.Udgangspunktet er således Attika med Athen, grækernes toneangivende by. Derfra går turen videre – ikke straks til den vigtige by Theben i Boiotien eller til den store Apollonhelligdom i Delfi – men først til Peloponnes, som behandles grundigt. Overalt beskrives levn fra denne storhedstid – templer, gravmæler og storslåede vægmalerier samt de utallige statuer af sejrende atleter opstillet i den store Zeushelligdom i Olympia.Pausanias’ værk bliver på denne måde en af vores bedste kilder til både historie, religion og kunst i klassisk græsk tid.

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere canaddress this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

I et halvt århundrede har vi både kæmpet mod og for naturen. I jagten på velstand og vækst har vi undergravet miljøet. Samtidig har vi siden begyndelsen af 1970’erne forsøgt at dæmme op for ødelæggelserne og stille om til et bæredygtigt samfund.I klimakatastrofens skygge kan det for dagens unge se ud, som om vi er ved at tabe. I virkeligheden har miljøkampen gennem de sidste 50 år vundet mange sejre. Tilbage står globale miljømæssige trusler, som fordrer, at vi lærer af historien og forstår, hvilken kraft, der kan mobiliseres, når mennesker handler i fællesskab.Jørgen Steen Nielsen har fulgt kampen hele vejen. I "Vejen hjem til Jorden" fortæller han glimt af miljøkampens historie og viser, at håbet er intakt.

I Når Vi Rejser Til Mars møder vi journalisten Laura, der har trukket stikket fra den bekvemmelige og moderne tilværelse i byen og i stedet er flyttet ud i et forfaldent hus uden strøm i de skånske skove. Laura prøver ihærdigt at få sin økonomi til at hænge bedre sammen ved at skrive en økokritisk artikelserie, synkront med at hun forsøger at genfinde roen i skovens uberørte steder. Men allermest ønsker Laura at skabe den bedste opvækst for datteren Bea, en opvækst tæt på naturen. Problemet er at ingenting hun gør, ser ud til at virke: ”Laura troede det gik op her. Hun troede, det ville være godt for Bea at komme til noget lidt mere civiliseret, da hun skulle begynde i skole. Hun tog fejl. Bea har det overhovedet ikke godt. Man kan heldigvis fortryde. Vende om. Vende tilbage.”Når Vi Rejser Til Mars er en samtidsroman, der skildrer flere af nutidens største problematikker, både fra det store kollektive synspunkt; hvad fremtiden vil bringe os som menneskehed, hvis klimakrisens konsekvenser forsætter i sin nedadgående spiral, der i sidste ende vil betyde Jordens endelige undergang. Men samtidigt er det også en roman, der fremstiller menneskets ældste urinstink i moderne rammer; forholdet mellem mor og barn, og den uudtalte problematik når det forventede relationsglansbillede ikke stemmer overens med virkelighedens, når gode intentioner ikke altid er nok, når man skal skabe en lykkelig tilværelse for ens barn og en selv.Maja Elverkilde debuterede som forfatter i 2008 med den anmelderroste novellesamling Alt det der er mit. I 2011 blev hun selv mor og skiftede kort tid efter sin lejlighed i København ud med et primitivt hus i Sverige, hvor hun boede alene med sin dreng. I 2014 udkom opfølgeren Det man dør af og i 2017 kom romandebuten Den slags skal gøres i dagslys. Når Vi Rejser Til Mars er Elverkildes første udgivelse på Forlaget Escho.

Inge Lehmann, 1888-1993, var geofysiker og var med til at grundlægge seismologien, en helt ny videnskab, i 1930’erne og årtierne derefter. En lidenskabelig trang til at blive til noget, havde fået hende til at overhøre alle de velmente råd fra sin familie, der på ingen måde syntes, hun skulle studere, og hun endte med at blive den første kvindelige seismolog i verden. I 1936 fremførte hun hypotesen, at Jorden har en fast indre kerne, hvilket skulle vise sig at være rigtigt. Hun trådte ind i en international forskerverden med imødekommende kollegaer, men hjemme i Danmark mødte hun akademisk snobberi, mandschauvinisme og vanetænkning.Skyggezone, af biolog og forfatter Hanne Strager, er den første biografi skrevet om Inge Lehmann. Bogen er blevet til på baggrund af en lang række breve, dokumenter og videnskabelige artikler fra Rigsarkivet og personlige breve i familiens eje, som alt sammen er med til at tegne et nyt og nuanceret billede af vores store danske seismolog.
