"An entertaining and enlightening collection of ancient writings about the philosophers who advocated simple living and rejected unthinking conformity. The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered 'No!' Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world, expressing mock surprise that 'most people go crazy over a finger.' When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied 'because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels.' How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters-from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. With their 'less is more' approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing-ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action.Complete with introductions to the volume and each selection as well as the original Greek and Latin on facing pages, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh-and to make us think and question how we live"--

Gården er en fortælling om at udskifte parcelhuslivet med en tilværelse på landet – en tilværelse, der kom til at indebære store mængder af linolie, renoveringsarbejde og produktionen af naturvin. Forfatteren skildrer i denne erindringsbog, hvordan hun i 1990’erne forelskede sig i en gammel gård i Nordsjælland. Hun faldt så meget for stedet, at hun udskiftede det trygge parcelhus tæt på jobbet i København med livet i landsbyen. I bogen beretter hun om, hvordan gården blev sat i stand ved hjælp traditionelle metoder og materialer, der respekterede gårdens oprindelse, og de mange op- og nedture, der kan være i en sådan proces. Hun fortæller også om, hvordan hun kom i gang med at producere naturvin som en af de første i Danmark.Det er en beretning om at vælge et langsommere liv i tæt kontakt med naturen. Fortælleren drives af nostalgi og en romantisk tilgang til landsbylivet, hvilket smitter af på sproget. Tempoet er langsomt, og vi dykker ned i detaljer med renovering, linoliemaling og lampeskærme fra 50’erne. Fortællingen har en rustik charme, og langsommeligheden afspejler den livsstil, der skildres i bogen.Bogen henvender sig til samme publikum, der ser ”Bonderøven”, bager med egen surdej og fifler lidt med hjemmebryg. Forfatteren er meget vidende om de emner, hun beskæftiger med, og man bliver som læser klogere – og nysgerrig – på både nænsom restaurering, landbrugshistorie og dansk vinavl. Det er en fortælling, der henvender sig til alle, der nogle gange synes, at det moderne liv er for stresset, og som værdsætter bondegårdsferierne, hvor man lærer, hvor vores fødevarer virkelig kommer fra.

KULTURHISTORIE MED LANGE ØRER Tag med på en spændende rejse i kaninens historie. Her i Danmark starter den for 800 år siden og ender i vore dages mangfoldige forhold mellem mennesker og kaniner som både præmiedyr, kæledyr, sportsdyr, forsøgskanin og som fødevare.I den tidlige middelalder er kaniner en anerkendt del af det sydeuropæiske klosterliv. Herfra springer kaninen over til middelalderens kongelige og adelige kredse, hvor kaniner bliver udsat som eftertragtet jagtbytte på linje med hjortevildt og harer. I renæssancens billedsprog møder vi kaninerne, snart som symboler på positiv frugtbarhed eller liderlig løssluppenhed, snart som symboler på uskyld og paradisisk fred. I 1600-tallet er kaninerne fortsat en del af den europæiske hofkultur, og der oprettes kongelige kaninhaver eller kanin-øer. Med romantikkens naturdyrkelse i slutningen af 1700-tallet bliver kaniner centrale i dyrkelsen af dyrene som dekorative fornøjelser. Nu er det især de hvide angorakaniner, som får tildelt øer i slots- og herregårdsparkerne. I 1800-tallet bredte kaninavlen sig til store dele af verden. I Nordeuropa blev "kaninsagen" en social bevægelse. Herefter går det stærkt. Under de to verdenskrige bliver kaninavlen helt central som en billig og hurtig vej til kød og pels. Især slagtekaninerne holder skansen indtil 1970'erne og -80'erne. I de sidste 25 år er kaninfolket blevet en mere sammensat skare. Kaninhop er opstået som kaninverdenens svar på agility med hunde. Samtidig er der stigende fokus på indendørs kaniner til kæl. OM FORFATTEREN:Peter Dragsbo: mag. art. i europæisk etnologi fra Københavns Universitet og formand for Langeland Museum. Tidligere museumsinspektør ved Esbjerg Museum og Middelfart Museum samt overinspektør ved Museum Sønderjylland – Sønderborg Slot.Sideløbende har han skrevet en lang række bøger om kulturhistorie, især byhistorie, arkitektur og byggeskik. Privat har han været fascineret af kaniner, lige siden han var ung.

Ny bog om grønsagerne i køkkenet Forfatterne bag kult-madbogen Smagsdommerne, der udkom i 2006, har rottet sig sammen med fotografen Søren Jonesen om en grønsagsbog. Den øser af viden om grønsagerne i køkkenet og er skrevet i de tos sædvanlige livlige og læseværdige stil. Denne gang med fornemme grønsagsportrætter på billedsiden. Bogen starter fra neden, fra mulden, og sætter ord på det særlige attraktive ved den enkelte grønsag. Der har været smagspaneler i gang, der er lavet akustiske målinger på grønsagernes kronsj - plus selvfølgelig kogt, dampet, syltet og fermenteret. Alt sammen for at give nogle bud på den bedste grønsagstilberedning: Kombinationen af smag og sprødhed.

En håbefuld fortælling om at være menneske i en brydningstid. Vi følger Maj My Humaidan, fra hun sender Ærø Manifestet ud i verden, til hun to år senere sender BLØDT til tryk. I netop de to år forandrer verden sig nærmest katapultisk for øjnene af os: Vi ser konsekvensen af, at vi ikke har passet godt på vores klode, vi ser også, at vi menneskeligt er i knæ. Den debat, der udfolder sig omkring Ærø Manifestet, bliver et billede på en tid, der kalder på en ny og mere bæredygtig måde at leve på. I BLØDT følger vi den bevægelse, der - også ansporet af Ærø Manifestet - blusser op nedefra og puster til en ild, der ender i en højspændt politisk debat om, hvordan vi skal indrette vores liv. Som en central figur i den samtale skal Maj My Humaidan finde sin vej - dels i mødet med dele af det politiske system, der mener, at hun er samfundsødelæggende, dels som stemme for mange danskere, der drømmer om at leve livet anderledes - og lige så langsomt finder hun sine ben og begynder at træde sin egen sti. Med udgangspunkt i det helt nære - det velkendte hjem på den lille ø - inspirerer Maj My Humaidan til at navigere i en forandringernes tid med håbet og troen som den helt store drivkraft. Vi forstår, at forandringerne for hende begynder indefra og i det små. Vi forstår også, at dét, som vi mennesker og vores klode har brug for, er helt det samme. Bogens titel giver os et svar, vi kan gribe: Vi kan begynde med at vælge det bløde.

I det meste af den tid, vi har levet på Jorden, har ingen fortalt os, hvad vi skal spise. Der var ingen, som talte kalorier eller kulhydrater. Og selv i samfund med god adgang til mad var det de færreste, der blev overvægtige. I dag får vi fortalt, hvad vi skal spise. Alligevel bliver flertallet af os overvægtige, og mange bliver syge af deres kost. Hvad er der galt med vores kost, og hvorfor er der så mange modstridende budskaber om, hvad vi skal spise? Hvem har ret – hvis nogen da har ret?Denne bog giver dig et nyt blik på, hvad vi egentlig skal spise, og hvorfor. Det er i virkeligheden meget nemt at spise sundt, hvis bare du ved, hvad du skal navigere efter. Her får du opdateret og forskningsbaseret information om det vigtige samspil mellem kroppen og maden, så du kan træffe bedre valg om det, du spiser – med et sundere helbred som resultat.HVAD og HVORNÅR skal vi spise? er solgt i mere end 70.000 eksemplarer i Norge, hvor den har sat gang i en bred debat om moderne kostråd, spisevaner og industrialiseret fødevareproduktion.Tre vigtige pointer fra bogen:Et stort antal studier har vist en sammenhæng mellem et højt indtag af ultraforarbejdet mad og sundhedsproblemer.Ultraforarbejdet mad forstyrrer biologiske signaler, der styrer sult og mæthed, og indeholder ofte mange tilsætningsstoffer, som er mangelfuldt testet.Periodisk faste er en universalmetode til at genoprette et godt helbred og renovere kroppen indefra.Om forfatteren:Marit Kolby har en bachelorgrad i fødevarevidenskab og en mastergrad i ernæringsbiologi og arbejder som lektor og forsker ved Oslo Nye Høyskole. Hun er en utrættelig formidler af ny ernæringsviden både i videnskabelige tidsskrifter, i medierne og på sin populære Instagram-profil.

I 25 år har Aarstiderne og inspireret os i køkkenet. Det fejrer vi med en stor, smuk samling af alle de bedste opskrifter.Få ideer har haft så stor gennemslagskraft de sidste 25 år som den, Søren Ejlersen og Thomas Harttung fik med Aarstiderne. Med et ønske om at gøre verden til et grønnere sted introducerede han danskerne for måltidskasserne, der for første gang gjorde den økologiske tanke oprigtigt tilgængelig i hverdagen og køkkenet. Siden fulgte mange nye, succesfulde initiativer, og i dag er Aarstiderne kendt af næsten alle danskere. Men 25 år er ingen alder, og Aarstiderne er nu på en gang en klassiker og under evig forandring.Det fejres her med en stor samling af Aarstidernes allerbedste opskrifter i indbundet pragtudgave. På over 600 sider dækker vi alle måltider til hverdag og fest med fokus på det, der ligger Aarstiderne nærmest: det grønne, lækre måltid, der både er en fryd for øjet, ganen og planeten, så vi holder CO2-regnskabet nede og nydelsen helt i top.

Fermentering er trendy, men Aarstiderne har gjort det længe. Her er alle tips, tricks og opskrifter samlet på ét sted.I 2015 udgav Aarstiderne den første danske bog om fermentering, som på det tidspunkt var under genopdagelse i køkkenerne hos nogle af de mest trendsættende restauranter i Norden, heriblandt Noma. Siden fulgte Fermentering 2.0 og Det fermenterede køkken, og alle tre bøger har nået et stort publikum.Siden er interessen for fermentering eksploderet, i takt med at madlavningselskere får øjnene op for, hvor nemt og lækker en metode det er til at fordybe smagsoplevelserne i køkkenet, mens holdbarheden forlænges markant med naturlige processer. Men mange tror stadig det er komplekst og tidskrævende, og det er det, Aarstiderne gerne vil gøre op med her, for ALLE KAN FERMENTERE.Vi har samlet alt det bedste fra de tre fermenteringsbøger i Den store bog om fermentering, en smuk, farverig, grundig, men let tilgængelig kogebog om alt det, der kan skabes hjemme i køkkenet, når fermentering bliver en del af hverdagspaletten.

"The Minimalist's Wealth" is a book that explores the idea that true wealth is not in the excess of things but in the richness of family, friends, and inner peace. The book draws inspiration from Biblical teachings that emphasize contentment, stewardship, prioritizing relationships, letting go of excess, and living intentionally. The book also provides practical tips for decluttering, shopping with intention, and incorporating minimalism into work and career. Additionally, the book offers strategies for dealing with emotional attachment to possessions and involving family and friends in a minimalist lifestyle.Minimalism is a lifestyle that emphasizes living with less and focusing on what truly matters in life. It is about simplifying one's life by reducing possessions, commitments, and distractions to create more space for the things that bring joy and fulfillment. Minimalism is not just about getting rid of things, but about creating a life that is intentional, purposeful, and fulfilling.Minimalism differs from other lifestyle choices in several ways. For example, while frugality focuses on saving money, minimalism is about creating a life that is rich in experiences and relationships. Similarly, while simplicity emphasizes reducing complexity, minimalism is about creating space for what truly matters. Minimalism is not just about owning fewer possessions, but about intentionally promoting the things we most value and removing anything that doesn't align with that. Minimalism is a tool that can be applied to all areas of life, including physical possessions, digital clutter, and even relationships. It is about finding what is essential in life and having the courage to eliminate the rest. By doing so, we can create a life that is intentional, fulfilling, and free from the all-consuming passion to possess. "The Minimalist's Wealth" is a guide for anyone seeking to live a more fulfilling and purposeful life by embracing minimalism.

"With decades of knowledge and proven, common-sense methods from "The Barefoot Farmer," this practical guide to biodynamic principles and practices will appeal to growers of every scale and experience level. In Barefoot Biodynamics, organic grower Jeff Poppen-"The Barefoot Farmer"-combines tales from his personal history of building a harmonious farm community in rural Tennessee with the practical applications of biodynamic principles and the deep aspects of the biodynamic methods that continue to make his farm a success today. Jeff's friendly, direct, and humorous writing will appeal not only to the biodynamic-curious, but also to farmers and gardeners who have experimented with the biodynamic approach and are looking for a deeper understanding of the practice. Rooted in the teachings of biodynamic pioneer Rudolf Steiner, Jeff's unique insights and deep reflections on "guiding lines" of biodynamic growing are an invaluable resource. Those "guiding lines" include: -producing a farm's fertility using cover crops, compost, and other on-farm inputs -enjoying the renewing power of farm festivals -augmenting scientific knowledge with the power of observation and intuition -avoiding chemical fertilizers -understanding that carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen make up 95 percent of the physical structure of plants and are freely available in the air around us -enhancing the availability of critical minerals such as silica and lime through good farming practices -building humus-rich soil teeming with microbial life -using homeopathic preparations to heal and enrich the soil In addition, Jeff walks the reader through the eight lectures on farming given by Steiner in 1924, summarizing important points from each lecture and "translating" them from Steiner's profound yet sometimes impenetrable vocabulary into plain language. In Barefoot Biodynamics, Jeff provides new insight to this these enigmatic lectures, revealing an often overlooked yet cost-effective farming method rooted in common sense"

With extensive research, real-world examples, and hands-on applications, this go-to guide offers a comprehensive look at the principles and practices of biochar--and all of its world-changing uses. Like many human discoveries, biochar has likely been invented, lost, and reinvented multiple times. It can be found in the rich terra preta soils of the Amazon and in the ancient "dark earths" dotting Africa, Asia, and Europe. However, biochar isn't just an archeological curiosity. In The Biochar Handbook, author Kelpie Wilson argues that the simple process of burning organic material in a low-oxygen, low-emission environment could be one of the most powerful tools we have to restore degraded soils and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. In accessible and authoritative prose, Wilson demonstrates that biochar is a low-tech but effective means of reducing wildfire risks, restoring soil carbon, managing manure, weaning farms off of toxic inputs, and producing the best compost ever made.
