“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.

Med FISK – scaled-up får man et fuldstændig unikt billede af den dyregruppe, der befolker to tredjedele af vor klodes areal, her med specielt fokus på arter i danske farvande, og hvis livsbetingelser vi i højere og højere grad skal værne om. FISK – scaled-up er en reminder til os alle om deres skønhed og deres eksistensberettigelse.Bogens hovedattraktion er billederne, hvor Søren Skarbys objektiv har kunnet forstørre fiskene og tillade, at vi kommer helt, helt tæt på disse, overraskende, meget farvestrålende danske arter. Med sine utroligt skarpe og usædvanlige billeder og med tekstbeskrivelser af 27 danske fiskearter sættes der fokus på fisks skønhed og vores lokale havbiodiversitet. De 27 fotograferede arter repræsenterer de fleste fiskefamilier i både fersk- og saltvand herhjemme, og på den måde fortælles der om de fleste former for liv med finner i dansk farvand.Udgivelsen giver læseren mulighed for at se forskellige fiskearter med helt andre øjne og samtidigt læse en beskrivelse af hver enkelt art.Bogen er trykt med åben ryg (uden lim i ryggen), så fotografierne virkelig kommer til deres ret, når de breder sig over et helt opslag.Søren Skarby (f. 1964) er uddannet pressefotograf. Han har haft sin egen freelancevirksomhed siden 1990 primært med base i Svendborg, hvor han skriver og fotograferer for en lang række dag- og fagblade, magasiner, virksomheder og offentlige institutioner. Han har foretaget adskillige reportagerejser rundt i hele verden, men særligt Mellemøsten og Arktis har været et tilbagevendende rejsemål.

A riveting new exploration of the octopus from the world-leading scientific expert. For fans of Netflix's 'My Octopus Teacher' and Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith.'Enchanting.' MAIL ON SUNDAY'Abounds with wonders.' KATHLEEN JAMIE, NEW STATESMAN'Brings the world of the octopus vividly alive... a sense of what it might be like to live in their skins.' FINANCIAL TIMES'The deepest of octopus books.' PETER GODFREY-SMITHAS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4'S TODAY PROGRAMME_________________What is it like to be an octopus?The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can change colour as quickly as it can move, 'think' with its tentacles and communicate in sophisticated ways.Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research, from finding previously unknown species to the discovery of signaling communication. In Many Things Under a Rock, Scheel shares his deep scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these mysterious, charismatic creatures.He investigates four major mysteries about octopuses: what can we know about such elusive and camouflaged creatures? Why are they so extraordinarily resilient? How do their bodies work? And what kind of relationships do they have? In unravelling these mysteries, Dr Scheel shows octopuses to be complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.

"In this entertaining and informative book, science writer Till Hein shares the most tantalizing findings from the world of seahorses, opening up some of the secrets of these magical creatures of the sea. He reveals their intriguing biological features, such as their unique prehensile tails, their fins, and their lack of a stomach (seahorses only have intestines!). He speaks to experts about the fossil record of prehistoric seahorses, and examines their unique hunting strategy involving suction through their tubular (and toothless) snout. But the most unique aspect of the seahorses is their reproductive cycle, as it is the male of the species who becomes pregnant. Seahorses have become icons in feminist and transgender male communities for the way they can reshape human cultural notions of masculinity and fatherhood. Endlessly fascinating and charmingly approachable, The Curious World of Seahorses will captivate any reader looking to learn more about one of the most incredible creatures on Earth"--
