Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's classic dystopian taleOne of Britain's most popular novels, George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a society terrorised by a totalitarian ideology propagated by The Party. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101. . . Nineteen Eighty-Four is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime. The novel also coined many new words and phrases which regular appear in popular culture, such as 'Big Brother', 'thoughtcrime', 'doublethink' and 'Newspeak'.

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's timeless satire'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.'Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.

Familien ivaretar menneskers grunnleggende behov for kjærlighet, trygghet, tilhørighet, omsorg og personlig og sosial utvikling. Familierelasjonene er ofte avgjørende for hvordan vi fungerer i hverdagen, og dermed er de også sårbare. Noen ganger kan relasjonene i familien bli så utfordrende at vi opplever at livet blir vanskelig. Da kan familieterapi være til hjelp. Familieterapi er i dag et felt som stadig utfordres av mer individorienterte retninger. Forskning viser imidlertid at familieterapi er en kostnadseffektiv tilnærming med svært gode resultater for en lang rekke internaliserte (for eksempel angst og depresjon), eksternaliserende (for eksempel atferdsvansker og opposisjonell atferd) og relasjonelle vansker (for eksempel inadekvat eller forstyrret kommunikasjon). Det er derfor et paradoks at helsemyndighetene fremhever betydningen av kunnskap om familierelasjoner og relasjonelt arbeid, samtidig som terapeuter opplever at familieterapi som tilnærming og forståelsesramme marginaliseres. Denne boken er derfor et viktig bidrag til å presentere oppdatert forskning og kunnskap om familieterapi. Håndbok i familieterapi består av 32 kapitler fordelt på to deler. Del 1 gir en bred introduksjon, mens del 2 presenterer en rekke ulike familieterapeutiske tilnærminger og foreldrestyrkende programmer. Kapitlene er gjennomgående illustrert med eksempler fra praksis og avsluttes med spørsmål for videre refleksjon. Boken vil være til nytte i både utdanning og terapeutisk arbeid. Lennart Lorås og Ottar Ness er bokens redaktører.

Tre unge barndomsvenner - Tarjei, Trygve og Kristian - beslutter å verve seg til de norske styrkene i Afghanistan. Ingen av de tre kommer tilbake. Hvorfor dro de egentlig? Hva med de som er igjen? Hvilke krefter påvirker våre veivalg - bli eller reise? Romanen handler om å vokse opp i, være omgitt av og bryte opp fra en trygghet som ikke lenger kjennes trygg. Rammen er lokalsamfunnet guttene kommer fra. Kapitlene gir stemme til to av guttene, og to av de som står dem nær. "Bli hvis du kan. Reis hvis du må" er et modent debutantarbeid med et finstemt litterært uttrykk. En sår og varm bok med en stille desperasjon. For denne romanen fikk Helga Flatland Ungdommens kritikerpris 2011. "Med norsk sindighed væver roman-debutanten Helga Flatland skæbnerne sammen. Side for side vokser bogen, mens personerne facetteres, og den menneskelige infrastruktur afsløres som almengyldig i al sin lokale trivialitet. Resultatet er et stilfærdigt brag af en fortælling om livets små og store spørgsmål. Om tilværelsens tilfældigheder. Om tidens (lige) gyldighed. Eller sagt på en anden måde: Bogen er svær at lægge fra sig. Imponerende debut." George Hilton, Ekstra Bladet (5 stjerner) "Dette er ikke en roman om Slagtebænk Afghanistan. Det er snarere Flugtpunkt Afghanistan og ikke-krigen, som er i centrum i et rørende portræt af ungdomsliv, modningsår, identitetssøgen og de folk, der befolker den lille bygd. 'Bliv hvis du kan, rejs hvis du må' er en poetisk titel, som både rummer en håbefuld anmodning og en resigneret frisættelse. Det er en stærkt talentfuld debut af en ung forfatter med sans for psykologisk portrætkunst." Klaus Rothstein, Weekendavisen "... ei velkomponert og gjennomarbeidd historie for fire stemmer. (...) Dermed får ein eit samansett og nyansert bilde av livet i ei lita bygd ... Marta Norheim, NRK " ... en fint gjennomarbeidet, vellykket bokdebut. (...) den er fint skrevet, og behandler store temaer på nennsomt vis." Gerd Elin Stava Sandve, Dagsavisen "... Helga Flatland har levert ein god oppvekstroman. Debuten avslører eit stort, litterært talent, masse forteljarglede og evne og vilje til å gjennomarbeide teksten." Bjarne Tveiten, Fædrelandsvennen "Flatland har et eget gehør for talende detaljer, noe som gjør romanen svært visuell. Dette, i kombinasjon med utstrakt bruk av flettverksgrepet, gjør romanen til en nyansert og leseverdig skildring av et samfunn i en ny type brytningstid." Gro Jørstad Nilsen, Bergens Tidende "Hun har en original løsning på hvordan skrive om en velkjent trygg norsk oppvekst og samtidig innlemme den store verden. (...) Hun skriver i et sobert, delvis lyrisk språk." Cathrine Krøger, Dagbladet "Her er en debutant som ikke bare skriver godt. Hun skildrer disse unge guttenes verden på en følsom og tillitvekkende måte." Synnøve Nord, Oppland Arbeiderblad

Forfatterne lanserer ideen om at metaforer er minst like viktige i hverdagsspråket som i poesien. Boken gir eksempler på at metaforer kan påvirke både hvordan vi tenker og hvordan vi handler. Den er enkel i sin oppbygging og eksemplifisering, men implikasjonene og refleksjonene boken inviterer til, er både omfattende og urovekkende. Har litteraturliste.

Haruki Murakami is an international phenomenon. When Books One and Two of his latest masterpiece, "1Q84", were published in Japan, a million copies were sold in one month, and the critical acclaim that ensued was reported all over the globe. Readers were transfixed by the mesmerising story of Aomame and Tengo and the strange parallel universe they inhabit. Then, one year later, to the surprise and delight of his readers, Murakami published an unexpected Book Three, bringing the story to a close. In order to reflect the experience of "1Q84's" first readers, Harvill Secker is publishing Books One and Two in one beautifully designed volume and Book Three in a separate edition. A long-awaited treat for his fans, "1Q84" is also a thrilling introduction to the unique world of Murakami's imagination. This hypnotically addictive novel is a work of startling originality and, as the title suggests, a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four". (The number 9 in Japanese is pronounced like the letter 'Q'). The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Both Aomame and Tengo notice that the world has grown strange; both realise that they are indispensable to each other. While their stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times intentionally, the two come closer and closer to intertwining.

With some 280 colour illustrations, Introduction to Modern Design takes us on a visual survey of design from the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century to the Maker Movement of today. It offers a new understanding of the birth of modern design in the early twentieth century and chronicles the way its meaning has changed over the decades. The narrative is supported by twenty-six readings from significant texts by designers and critics, offering readers an opportunity to learn about design from those who created it and those who commented on it as it was done. The focus of this book is on the objects themselves—from industrial design, furniture, ceramics, textiles, graphics, electronics, to automobiles—and explores the development of these designs in relation to industrialization, technology, environmental responsibility, consumerism, individual needs, and the expression of the social values of their day. Clearly written and accessible, Introduction to Modern Design provides a succinct history of, and fascinating insights into, the world of design.

'The foremost work on the key democratic task: helping people to identify and challenge the sources of their oppression ... a transformative text' George Monbiot, GuardianArguing that 'education is freedom', Paulo Freire's radical international classic contends that traditional teaching styles keep the poor powerless by treating them as passive, silent recipients of knowledge. Grounded in Freire's own experience teaching impoverished and illiterate students in his native Brazil and over the world, this pioneering book instead suggests that through co-operation, dialogue and critical thinking, every human being can develop a sense of self and fulfil their right to be heard.'Truly revolutionary' Ivan Illich
