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.

I dette andet bind i serien om naturen i vores nærmiljø tager industriel designer og forfatter Boe Sallingboe os med på en gennemgang af naturens effekt på det senmoderne menneske. Fra stress og sansehaver, over byens grønne områder, til indendørsplanterne i de private hjem. Der er bid og masser af plantelister at gå ombord i, både for novicen og den særligt kræsne entusiast. Med udgangspunkt i Boes egne erfaringer som bygartner, underbygget med litteraturliste, links og referencer til forskning fra ind- og udland, bliver det grønne eventyr til brugbare gør-det-selv-metoder, så det bliver nemt at inddrage det grønne liv på vores arbejdspladser, i vores byer og i privatsfæren. Bogen er en kærlighedserklæring til naturens under, brumbassernes summen og smilet på dine læber. Bind 1, Naturen ind i byen – Sådan skaber du oaser på altaner og tagterrasser, udkom på Gyldendal i 2016. Om forfatteren Boe Sallingboe, født 1968, er uddannet industriel designer. Han har arbejdet som produktudvikler i tøjbranchen, men forlod i 2006 modebranchen og valgte havearbejdet i stedet. I 2010 stiftede Boe Sallingboe anlægsgartnerfirmaet altan-alferne, der har ekspertise i urban begrønnelse af altaner og tagterrasser.

I anledning af 100-året for kvinders stemmeret udgiver vi historien om Marie Christensen og de københavnske tjenestepiger – en fortælling om stemmeret, faglig kamp og ligestilling. I 1899 stiftede Marie Christensen Københavns Tjeneste­ pigeforening, fordi hun ønskede at samle og styrke de mange kvinder, der som hun selv arbejdede som tjeneste­ piger fra morgen til aften stort set uden rettigheder. Foreningen blev som andre af tidens fagforeninger til i erkendelse af, at det var absolut nødvendigt for de lavest betalte arbejdere at stå sammen for at sikre sig et minimum af rettigheder i industrisamfundet. Tjenestepigernes basale ønsker lød på faste arbejds­ tider, betaling for overarbejde, fri hver anden søndag eftermiddag, eget værelse, ordentlig mad og højere løn. Med udgangspunkt i tjenestepigernes kamp for bedre vilkår, tegner Dorte Chakravarty et portræt af Køben­ havns arbejdende kvinder i slutningen af 1800­tallet, den gryende faglige kamp og ikke mindst kvindernes kamp for den grundlæggende ret i ethvert demokrati: stemmeretten. TJENESTEPIGERNE trækker linjer fra fortiden op til nu­ tiden og sætter fokus på barsel, ligestilling og uddan­ nelse og på vore dages tjenestepige – au pairen.

Taloesitteet pinoutuivat vaivihkaa keittiönpöydälle ja omakotitalon rakentaminen alkoi näyttäytyä toteutettavissa olevalta projektilta. Niinpä tartuimme toimeen, nostimme pinon päällimmäiseksi hirsitaloesitteen ja aloimme järjestelemään elämäämme unelman mukaisesti.Työmaalla vietettiin lopulta kolme vuotta. Tavoitteena oli rakentaa terveellinen talo mahdollisimman paljon itse tehden. Toki leikkiin ryhtyessä oli tiedossa, että rakennusprojekti vie aikaa ja voimia.Kirja opastaa kiertoteitä rakennusajan kompastuskiville sekä tarjoaa vinkkejä, kuinka varautua rakentamisen aikaisiin haasteisiin ja säästää budjetissa.Entä kun rakennuspöly on laskeutunut ja rakennusaikaa voi katsoa taaksepäin elämän yhtenä ajanjaksona, jalat oikaistuna sohvalle takkatulen ääressä? Oliko kaikki puurtamisen ja tuhansien työmaalla vietettyjen tuntien arvoista?
