Kystlinjer

Fotografen Janne Klerk har gennemfotograferet Danmarks vidtstrakte kyster, dér hvor landet holder op, og det våde element tager over. Nogle gange manifeste­rer denne zone mellem land og vand sig brat som en amputeret skrænt, der er blevet slået sønder af storme og rasende bølger, andre gange er den en mild strand­eng, som tegner en umærkelig overgang mellem land og hav, mellem grønt og blåt. Sejt og vedholdende har Janne Klerk opsøgt de upåagtede kystområder eller har sat sit fotostativ op på kendte og ikoniske turistdestinationer, som hun afæsker nye, visuelle sandheder. Med dette 2-binds pragtværk har hun skabt en ode til Danmark.

Now in paperback: a "deeply researched and reported" (San Francisco Chronicle) exploration of sea level rise in California that "breathes exquisite detail and dialogue" (Science Magazine) into the subject.2023 Golden Poppy Award Winner for Nonfiction, Chosen by the California Independent Booksellers Alliance"Viscerally urgent, thoroughly reported, and compellingly written—a must-read for our uncertain times." —Ed Yong, author of An Immense World"When do seawalls make sense? And when is it better to give in to the tides? [...] In California Against the Sea, Xia [...] writes about the difficult realities of trying to incorporate fairness into our tally of costs and benefits." —The New YorkerAlong California's 1,200-mile coastline, the overheated Pacific Ocean is rising and pressing in, imperiling both wildlife and the maritime towns and cities that 27 million people call home. In California Against the Sea, Los Angeles Times coastal reporter Rosanna Xia asks: As climate chaos threatens the places we love so fiercely, will we finally grasp our collective capacity for change?Xia, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and tenacious environmental scientists commingle. Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia's investigation takes us to Imperial Beach, Los Angeles, Pacifica, Marin City, San Francisco, and beyond, weighing the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises, and visions governing the State of California’s commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship.

Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year AwardFew areas of Britain are as holidayed in or as mythologised as Cornwall. From the romantic melodrama of Poldark to gritty TV depictions of the modern fishing industry, it is a region densely laden with images, projections and tropes. But how do they all intersect with the real Cornwall - its landscapes, histories, communities and sense of identity?In The Granite Kingdom, Tim Hannigan sets out on an epic east-west journey on foot through his own homeland, exploring its landscapes and history, but also examining how the Cornwall of the popular imagination has been constructed by writers, artists and others. His journey takes him from the deep woodlands of the Tamar Valley, across the granite wilderness of Bodmin Moor; past coastal villages where tourism and fishing find an uneasy coexistence; through Cornwall's deprived post-industrial heartlands; and finally into the wildest and most remote western region of Penwith - the place that the author has always called home.

Twenty years ago, two empty-nesters with a love of the outdoors stumbled upon a vacant beach house on a small island in Clayoquot Sound, part of an off-grid, ten-acre stretch nestled within a provincial park reserve. Our Stolen Years in Clayoquot Sound is an extended love letter to this place, chronicling the decade John and Bea Dowd spent as year-round caretakers of the property.Told with humour and heart in alternating voices, and lavishly illustrated throughout with stunning natural photography, this book a story of joyful solitude, of living in harmony with wildlife and respecting the forces of nature. It is about the fleeting definition of home and family, and about creating community in the wilderness. Above all, it is a tribute to an achingly beautiful, fragile place.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent and a former private investigator dive deep into the murky waters of the international salmon farming industry, exposing the unappetizing truth about a fish that is not as good for you as you have been told.A decade ago, farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on North America's dinner tables. We are told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. The reality is disturbingly different.In Salmon Wars, investigative journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins bring readers to massive ocean feedlots where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. The authors reveal the conditions inside hatcheries, where young salmon are treated like garbage, and at the farms that threaten our fragile coasts. They draw colorful portraits of characters, such as the big salmon farmer who poisoned his own backyard, the fly-fishing activist who risked everything to ban salmon farms in Puget Sound, and the American researcher driven out of Norway for raising the alarm about dangerous contaminants in the fish. Frantz and Collins document how the industrialization of Atlantic salmon threatens this keystone species, endangers our health and environment, and lines the pockets of our generation's version of Big Tobacco. And they show how it doesn't need to be this way.Just as Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation forced a reckoning with the Big Mac, the vivid stories, scientific research, and high-stakes finance at the heart of Salmon Wars will inspire readers to make choices that protect our health and our planet.
