Atlas over danske ferskvandsfisk er det mest omfattende værk om de danske ferskvandsfisk, der nogensinde er udgivet. Atlasset rummer opdaterede udbredelseskort for alle oprindelige danske ferskvandsfisk og hovedparten af de arter, der gennem tiden er indført til Danmark. For hver art er der grundige afsnit om systematik, kendetegn, udbredelse og biologi.Bogen indeholder desuden generelle afsnit om fisk, fiskenes levesteder, deres artsrigdom på forskellige levesteder og i forskellige dele af landet. Herudover findes et afsnit om fiskenes indvandring efter istiden og et afsnit om sygdomme hos ferskvandsfisk.Atlas over danske ferskvandsfisk er rigt illustreret med fotos af fiskene, særlige kendetegn, deres levesteder og meget mere.Bag bogen står Henrik Carl, Jørgen G. Nielsen og Peter Rask Møller fra Statens Naturhistoriske Museum, Københavns Universitet, og Gorm H. Rasmussen og Søren Berg fra DTU Aqua.

Hvad er rogn, og hvordan kan vi bruge den i vores køkken på en bæredygtig måde med respekt for naturen og med fokus på smag, ikke mindst i det grønne køkken? Rogn er æg fra fisk, krebsdyr og bløddyr og spises både som en dagligdags, folkekær spise som torskerogn og er populær som sæsonvare som stenbiderrogn, men rogn er også en eftertragtet og dyr, gastronomisk delikatesse som caviar.Bogen Rogn illustrerer de forskellige anvendelser af mange slags rogn både ved klassiske og nyfortolkede retter såvel som helt nye tilberedninger.Den er blevet til som et samarbejde mellem en kok, Klavs Styrbæk, og en videnskabsmand, Ole G. Mouritsen, der sammen er gået i køkkenet for at blive klogere på rogn ved at smage sig frem, eksperimentere og udvise interesse for at kombinere nysgerrighed og viden med godt kokkehåndværk.Rogn, der er flot illustreret med fotografier af Jonas Drotner Mouritsen, henvender sig til et bredt publikum, som er interesseret i verden og den del af verden, vi spiser.

“Jeg ville ære dig med min huds ruhed, mine grænsers tykkelse og varmen fra mit eget fedt. Jeg ville ære dig med min stilhed og min vejrtrækning, min lytning længere og længere ud og ind. Jeg ville ære dig med langsomheden i mine eftertænksomme og yndefulde bevægelser. Jeg ville forsøge at være som dig, selvom de siger, at det er umoderne. Jeg vil huske dig. Ikke ved navnet på den, de siger “opdagede” dig, efter at oprindelige folk i generationer havde haft et forhold til dig. Jeg vil sige: Der var engang en enorm og tavs svømmer, en plantebaseret, ruhudet lytter, et tykt og yndefuldt pattedyr. Og så vil jeg være stille, så jeg kan høre dig ånde. Og så vil jeg trække vejret, og du vil minde mig om ikke at forcere det. Og tiden i mig vil dysses ned. Og så lytter vi for alvor.”Udruknet er en poetisk, alternativ guidebog medværkmeditationer, der optegner mulige forbindelseslinjer mellem Sort feminismes organisationsformer og havpattedyrs overlevelsesstrategier. Det er en bog om at lytte på en måde, der er dyb og revolutionær. Og om, at ingen er frie før alle er frie.

A Best Book of 2020: The Washington Post * NPR * Chicago Tribune * Smithsonian A “remarkable” (Los Angeles Times), “seductive” (The Wall Street Journal) debut from the new cohost of Radiolab, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a dark and astonishing tale of love, chaos, scientific obsession, and—possibly—even murder.​ “At one point, Miller dives into the ocean into a school of fish…comes up for air, and realizes she’s in love. That’s how I felt: Her book took me to strange depths I never imagined, and I was smitten.” —The New York Times Book ReviewDavid Starr Jordan was a taxonomist, a man possessed with bringing order to the natural world. In time, he would be credited with discovering nearly a fifth of the fish known to humans in his day. But the more of the hidden blueprint of life he uncovered, the harder the universe seemed to try to thwart him. His specimen collections were demolished by lightning, by fire, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—which sent more than a thousand discoveries, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life’s work was shattered. Many might have given up, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish that he recognized, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that he believed would at last protect his work against the chaos of the world. When NPR reporter Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote in passing, she took Jordan for a fool—a cautionary tale in hubris, or denial. But as her own life slowly unraveled, she began to wonder about him. Perhaps instead he was a model for how to go on when all seemed lost. What she would unearth about his life would transform her understanding of history, morality, and the world beneath her feet. Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail.

"The beauty of the apex predator captured up close and unflinchingly. A global shift from fright to endearment is happening, and the world is falling in love with sharks as risk of their endangerment increases. Mike Coots, who was nearly killed by a tiger shark as a teenager and has since dedicated his life to capturing and sharing sharks' beauty and indispensable role in a healthy ocean, gets up close and very personal with the magnificent creatures, presenting his unique perspective through portraits exposing both their brawn and their brains. Traveling the world (Hawaii, Mexico, New Zealand, Bahamas, and Maldives), free diving and scuba diving, often with no cage, Coots has recorded Tigers, Great Hammerheads, rare Oceanic White Tips, Lemons, Silvertips, Caribbean Reef Sharks, and massive Great Whites, as big as fourteen feet in length. Big, bold, and beautiful, extraordinary portraits of some of the ocean's largest sharks present a fresh photographic narrative of what it's like being apex. Coots anthropomorphizes the giant fish, with amazingly detailed and unexpectedly intimate images, filled with the stunning character of each species revealed marvelously."--

"Sharks have been fighting for their lives for 500 million years and are under dire threat today. They are the longest surviving vertebrate on Earth, outlasting multiple mass extinction events that decimated life on the planet. How did they thrive so long? By developing superpower-like abilities that allowed them to ascend to the top of the oceanic food chain. Yet they often found themselves in the shadows of larger, more formidable killers--and they not only survived, but also took their crown as the king of the sea. ... Because of recent technological breakthroughs, scientists' understanding of sharks has taken a quantum leap forward in the last decade. John Long has been on the cutting edge of this research and in this [book] weaves a fully updated and unexpected tale of shark's extraordinary evolutionary adventure"--
