Improve your environment to improve your life!

Are you tired of fighting an uphill battle and constantly having to rely on your own willpower, motivation and self-discipline? Would you like to learn a smarter, simpler way to get the life you’ve always dreamed of – both at home and at work?

Gunnel Ryner overturns the traditional view of self-development and success, in which it’s all about you, and instead shows how you can create an environment – with the right people, things, places, conditions and ideas – that simply draws you in the direction you want to go.

With a light-hearted blend of science, humour and relevant examples, she demonstrates the positive aspects of laziness and shows how the right environment is more important than willpower. The book also provides you with a step-by-step method that makes it easy and fun to get where you want, both in your own life and together with your colleagues at work.

The Wild Game Cookbook is a recipe book for aspiring chefs, hunters and hands-on gourmets interested in the world of wild game. Rediscover this organic, sustainable and versatile meat through delicious recipes, from fine dining to everyday meals.
If you’re already a hunter, our aim with this book is to spark an interest in cooking really good wild game. Maybe nobody ever said “The better the chef, the better the hunter”, but we think it’s true all the same. If you do everything to make sure the final dish is as good as possible, you’ll also make sure you shoot really well. Learning more about cooking game means less wild-caught meat ends up becoming ground meat for lack of inspiration.
If you feel you can get something enjoyable from every aspect of the hunt – the preparations, practice, the actual hunting situation and preparing and cooking the animal – then hunting is truly something for you, and you have a lifetime of community, fantastic natural experiences, and great meals before you.

1795: The Order of the Furies

In 1795: The Order of the Furies, the third instalment of Niklas Natt och Dag’s historical noir trilogy, we are plunged once again into the bustling world of late eighteenth-century Stockholm. The city is teetering on a precipice, with evil shaking its core, but can love and friendship prevail?

It is 1795 and evil lurks in the winding alleys of Stockholm. Tycho Ceton prowls the city, willing to do anything to survive and reclaim the honour he has lost. No one knows what he is planning next but Emil Winge, haunted by the ghosts of his past, is determined to stop him. Meanwhile, Jean Mickel Cardell is preoccupied with his own search for Anna Stina Knapp. She may have in her possession a letter which could have devastating consequences in the wrong hands.

All the while, hell looms inexorably . . .

The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons

Organised crime stalks the landscapes of northern Sweden. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are older but are they wiser and more skilful in fighting back?

In the seventh part of the Millennium thriller series begun by Stieg Larsson, the action shifts north and the male gaze is replaced by a female one. The Norrbotten region of Sweden is a magnet to sinister incomers as its rich natural resources start to generate vast flows of money. Environmental forces pull politicians and locals in different directions and the traditional Sami way of life is under threat.   Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, each brought to the area by family commitments, find themselves at the eye of the storm as people dear to them become targets.

The Autists: Women on the spectrum

An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author’s own diagnosis.

Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained invisible. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts — talented and socially awkward.

Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes?

In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens — what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take centre stage.

The Happiness Cure

In the midst of a mental health crisis, leading psychiatrist Dr Anders Hansen offers a radical new way to think about fulfilment.

As a species, we’ve never had it so good. We’re living longer and healthier lives than ever before; the sum of human knowledge and endless entertainment are only ever a few clicks away.

So why are we in the midst of a mental health crisis?

The Happiness Cure offers a radical new way to think about fulfilment. Blending neuroscientific research and empirical breakthroughs with stories of ordinary individuals, leading psychiatrist and viral TedX speaker Dr Anders Hansen reveals that by adopting an evolutionary take on life, we can re-set our perspective on happiness to find longer-term meaning and lasting contentment.

From the publisher:
The internationally acclaimed activist follows up her satirical work of graphic medicine with this collection of humorous comics essays about how historical and societal shifts have altered — and perhaps destroyed — “romantic love.”

“A nervy application of social theory that makes for an invigorating primer and a jarring riposte to present-day assumptions on dating, attachment, and the nuclear family.” — Publishers Weekly
