Sometimes I confuse myself. I get wildly and pointlessly jealous. I spend too much time hating my bum. And you know what I hate more than my bum? My preoccupation with my bum. I've had sexual experiences with boys I wasn't really in to, but I got a post-coital crush on them. I've ruined the start of a relationship by immediately imagining it going into reverse.There is so much about my behaviour I want to understand. So I started researching what makes me - and us - tick. And what I read made my eyes fall out of my face. Reader, here is everything I've learned from science about love, sexuality, infidelity, boobs, periods, pubes, broodiness, and clever old fat. Merry Christmas and Hallelujah, suddenly being a woman doesn't look like such a minefield after all.

Jo BrandWhat better way to understand ourselves than through the eyes of comedians - those who professionally examine our quirks on stage daily? In this touching and witty book, award-winning presenter and comic Robin Ince uses the life of the stand-up as a way of exploring some of the biggest questions we all face. Where does anxiety come from? How do we overcome imposter syndrome? What is the key to creativity? How can we deal with grief? Informed by personal insights from Robin as well as interviews with some of the world's top comedians, neuroscientists and psychologists, this is a hilarious and often moving primer to the mind. But it is also a powerful call to embrace the full breadth of our inner experience - no matter how strange we worry it may be!

'Deftly explores expectations of modern womanhood . . . Full of adventure and awe' Dolly Alderton People always said I'd find love where I least expected it. I always said they were idiots. I had no idea how to commit to another human being. I could barely commit to reading a magazine, and I wrote for magazines for a living. My specialist subject was celebrities, and my own relationships made their marriages look eternal. I'd never paid a household bill that didn't mention bailiffs, and my idea of exercise was to go and stand outside a famous person's house and stare until I'd convinced myself that I lived in it. But my life in LA was happy; free of care and consequence. That was, until I came down to earth - with a bump. So this is the story of how I staggered from partying in Hollywood to bringing up a baby in Piss Alley, Dalston; how I never did find a copy of What To Expect When You Weren't Even Fucking Expecting To Be Expecting, and why paternity testing is not a good topic for a first-date conversation. A deeply profound, laugh out loud Mother's Day gift for all parents, from shocked novices to experienced pros. ___________________ Praise for THE HUNGOVER GAMES: 'Funny, dark and true' Caitlin Moran 'A deeper, funnier, realer, more poignant Bridget Jones' Philippa Perry 'Sharply observed and funny' Guardian 'Frank and fearless' Red 'Outrageously entertaining' David Nicholls 'This is the first time I've read anything about motherhood that didn't bore me' Sara Pascoe

Det (nye) nye norskfaget er en tekstsamling om norskfaget – som gjennom fagfornyelsen blir et nytt fag. Igjen. Eller – blir det egentlig det? Forskere, læreplanutviklere, lærere (og noen tidligere elever!) har blitt utfordret til å belyse hva fagfornyelsen innebærer, hva som er sentrale problemstillinger i norskfaget i dag, og komme med anbefalinger om veien videre. Sammen går de inn på spørsmål som: Hvordan står det til med kulturfaget norsk? Hva med språkfaget norsk? Hva sies egentlig om nynorskens rolle? Hvordan kan det nye buzz-ordet «dybdelæring» se ut dersom vi stikker innom et helt ekte klasserom? Og ikke minst: Hva kan kjerneelementene og de tverrfaglige temaene tilføre skolens viktigste fag? Forfattere: Jonas Bakken, Kjell Lars Berge, Christian Bjerke, Marte Blikstad-Balas, Irene Brendehaug, Lars August Fodstad, Tor Egil Furevikstrand, Jan Kristian Hognestad, Mari-Ann Igland, Sture Nome, Jorunn Øveland Nyhus, Kjersti Rognes Solbu, Markus Slettholm, Nanna Lilletvedt Sæten, Ole Sørhaug, Astrid Syse Talsethagen, Siv Sørås Valand, Sara Zahid, Laila Aase og Arne Johannes Aasen

Snikende uhygge fra de dype svenske skoger Høsten river i Åre. Til tross for at turistene fortsatt glitrer på luksusrestaurantene, har lokalbefolkningen begynt å planlegge for jakten og mørket ... I andre etasje på en nedlagt togstasjon bor den avdankede lokalredaktøren Vera Bergström. Hun sover med en jaktbørse under senga, og kjemper med både overgangsalder og det livet som aldri ble noe av. Når en kvinne blir funnet drept i skogen på baksiden av Åreskutan, påtar hun seg motvillig oppdraget med å skrive en reportasje om bygdefolkets frykt. Men på veien blir hun stadig mer besatt av å finne ut hvem offeret var, hvem som drepte henne - og hvorfor. Det tar ikke lang tid før Vera selv er i fare. Sara Strömberg er Sveriges nye krimstjerne. Hun har vunnet både Årets debut for Skygger, første bok i serien om Vera Bergström, og Årets krim for oppfølgeren Skred (kommer på norsk i 2024).

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.
