Vi er vejret - Jonathan Safran Foer - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Den amerikanske forfatter Jonathan Safran Foer kaster sig med sin nye bog over et af tidens mest presserende emner: klimaforandringer. Vi hører hele tiden, at tiden er ved at løbe ud, at klimakrisen kan føre til vores udryddelse, men alligevel – eller måske netop derfor – er det svært at stille noget op for det enkelte menneske. Eller er det? Ifølge Safran Foer kan vi indlede vores kamp mod klimaforandringerne ved hjælp af noget så simpelt som kniv og gaffel. Og man behøver ikke at tage en kold tyrker fra al kød. Det hele begynder nemlig med, hvad vi spiser – og ikke spiser – til morgenmad.

Om at spise dyr - Jonathan Safran Foer - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Om at spise dyr - Jonathan Safran Foer - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Som så mange andre svingede Jonathan Safran Foer som helt ung mellem at være skiftevis altædende og vegetar. Men da han selv skulle være far og dermed snart ville komme til at tage nogle vigtige beslutninger omkring mad på sit barns vegne blev hele spørgsmålet pludselig mere akut påtrængende. Foer besluttede derfor selv at forsøge at finde svarene. En søgen der blandt andet fik ham til at snige sig ind på industrielle fjerkræfarme dissekere de følelsesladede ingredienser fra barndommens middagsborde samt undersøge nogle af sine mest instinktive sondringer imellem rigtigt og forkert. Med sin sammenfletning af filosofi litteratur videnskab og personlige erindringer samt et større detektivisk arbejde griber Foer fat om de mange historier vi benytter for at retfærdiggøre vores spisevaner. Om at spise dyr er en på en gang oplysende generøs og stærkt animerende bog men skrevet med en forsonende humor: En bog der med garanti vil få enhver der læser den til i al fremtid at betragte deres middagstallerken i et andet lys

Den tyveårige ukrainer Alexander Perkhov bliver bestilt til at være oversætter og guide for en ung amerikaner ved navn Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer er kommet til Lvov med et gammelt fotografi i hånden for at søge efter byen Trachimbrod og den kvinde som reddede hans morfar fra nazisterne. I et vrag af en bil og med Alex´ halvblinde farfar som chauffør og dennes overerotiske hund Sammy Davis Junior Junior rejser de rundt i øde øststatslandskaber på sporet af den tabte tid. Rejsen beskrives af Alex på et gebrokkent engelsk som han har lært sig ved hjælp af en håbløst forældet synonymordbog. Parallelt hører vi Jonathans beretning om Trachimbrod en bykrønike som begynder i 1791 hvor byen får sit navn og ender i 1941 da nazisterne tilintetgør alt og alle. Disse to spor flettes til sidst sammen i et krydspunkt som får afgørende betydning for dem alle tre.

Eating Animals - Jonathan Safran Foer - Bog - Little, Brown and Company - Plusbog.dk

Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is the groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name. Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. For years he was content to live with uncertainty about his own dietary choices but once he started a family, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly important. Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them. Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill. Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is a book that, in the words of the Los Angeles Times , places Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers" -and a must-read for anyone who cares about building a more humane and healthy world.

How Football Explains The World - Franklin Foer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

How Football Explains The World - Franklin Foer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

What in the world has the power to liberate women in Iran while provoking antagonism between Catholics and Protestants in Scotland, to lure Nigerians to the cold of the Ukraine while heating up class warfare in the US heartlands, and both profit local gangsters and create local - and international - celebrities? Foer presents an unexpected, uniquely revealing tour of the politics and culture of football from Milan to Tehran. He examines the game''s role in sustaining ancient hatreds and rivalries (Serbia''s Red Star and Croatia''s Dinamo); in supporting the migration of players and the rise of the football oligarchs (such as Silvio Berlusconi, President of AC Milan - and of Italy); and in defending the virtues and vices of old-fashioned nationalism. As Foer brilliantly illuminates, the Balkan War, anti-Semitism, Jewish identity, racism, social integration, media manipulation, and American patriotism have all been influenced by, as well as have had a dramatic effect on, football. On his travels, Foer encounters a collection of fans that is stranger than fiction: from a British hooligan with a Jewish mother, a Nazi father and a career as a soldier of fortune, to a fan club in Serbia that turns into a brutal anti-Muslim paramilitary unit. The result is an unforgettable parade of uniquely memorable fans - each set into his - or her - unique political and cultural context.

Moonwalking with Einstein - Joshua Foer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Be prepared to be amazed'' Guardian Can anyone get a perfect memory? Joshua Foer used to be like most of us, forgetting phone numbers and mislaying keys. Then he learnt the art of memory training, and a year later found himself in the finals of the US Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we often forget: that, even in an age of technology, memory is the key to everything we are.In Moonwalking with Einstein he takes us on an astonishing journey through the mind, from ancient ''memory palace'' techniques to neuroscience, from the man who can recall nine thousand books to another who constantly forgets who he is. In doing so, Foer shows how we can all improve our memories.''Captivating ... engaging ... smart and funny'' The New York Times ''Delightful ... uplifting ... it shows that our minds can do extraordinary things'' Wall Street Journal ''Great fun ... a book worth remembering'' Independent ''A lovely exploration of the ways that we preserve our lives and our world in the golden amber of human memory'' New Scientist

A timely and powerful must-read on how the big tech companies are damaging our culture – and what we can do to fight their influence Four titanic corporations are now the most powerful gatekeepers the world has ever known. We shop with Amazon, socialise on Facebook, turn to Apple for entertainment, and rely on Google for information. They have conquered our culture and set us on a path to a world without private contemplation or autonomous thought: a world without mind.In this book, Franklin Foer makes a passionate, deeply informed case for the need to restore our inner lives and reclaim our intellectual culture before it is too late. At stake is nothing less than who we are, and what we will become. It is a message that could not be more timely.

World Without Mind - Franklin Foer - Bog - Penguin Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 • One of the best books of the year by The New York Times, LA Times , and NPR Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence. Over the past few decades there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon; socialize on Facebook; turn to Apple for entertainment; and rely on Google for information. These firms sell their efficiency and purport to make the world a better place, but what they have done instead is to enable an intoxicating level of daily convenience. As these companies have expanded, marketing themselves as champions of individuality and pluralism, their algorithms have pressed us into conformity and laid waste to privacy. They have produced an unstable and narrow culture of misinformation, and put us on a path to a world without private contemplation, autonomous thought, or solitary introspection—a world without mind. In order to restore our inner lives, we must avoid being coopted by these gigantic companies, and understand the ideas that underpin their success. Elegantly tracing the intellectual history of computer science—from Descartes and the enlightenment to Alan Turing to Stewart Brand and the hippie origins of today''s Silicon Valley—Foer exposes the dark underpinnings of our most idealistic dreams for technology. The corporate ambitions of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, he argues, are trampling longstanding liberal values, especially intellectual property and privacy. This is a nascent stage in the total automation and homogenization of social, political, and intellectual life. By reclaiming our private authority over how we intellectually engage with the world, we have the power to stem the tide. At stake is nothing less than who we are, and what we will become. There have been monopolists in the past but today''s corporate giants have far more nefarious aims. They’re monopolists who want access to every facet of our identities and influence over every corner of our decision-making. Until now few have grasped the sheer scale of the threat. Foer explains not just the looming existential crisis but the imperative of resistance.

Eating Animals is Jonathan Safran Foer's eye-opening account of where meat comes from 'I simply wanted to know - for myself and my family - what meat is. Where does it come from? How is it produced? What are the economic, social and environmental effects? Are there animals that it is straightforwardly right to eat? Are there situations in which not eating animals is wrong?

We Are the Weather - Jonathan Safran Foer - Bog - Farrar, Straus and Giroux - Plusbog.dk

In We Are the Weather , Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn’t believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat—and don’t eat—for breakfast.

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK ‘Esther Safran Foer has written of her family in a way that is both uniquely and heartbreakingly her story and a deeply important testament for Ashkenazi Jews. Her memories are our important history.’ Robert Peston, ITV Political EditorA moving and powerful inter-generational memoir about story and memory.Mine is a family of readers and writers. Our house is filled with books. There are contemporary design books on the coffee table in the living room, legal books in my husband’s home office, and piles of children’s books for when my grandchildren visit. However, the side table next to my bed is piled with books about the Holocaust. Framed maps of shtetls line my office walls and pictures of relatives killed in the Holocaust are displayed on our family gallery walls.Sometimes I feel like I exist across two polarized realities, experiencing great fulfillment from family, friends, and a meaningful career, and, at the same time, finding the joy of my life tempered by its shadows. In the darker corners of my mind live ghosts and demons who visit me from the shtetls in Ukraine where my family came from. Some of the details that make these visions so vivid are imagined because I grew up in a family where memories were too terrible to speak of.This is the true story of four generations who have been dealing with the Holocaust and its aftermath. We are four generations, survivors and survivors of survivors, storytellers and memory keepers. And we’re still here.

Discover wonder. “A wanderlust-whetting cabinet of curiosities on paper.”— New York Times Inspiring equal parts wonder and wanderlust, Atlas Obscura is a phenomenon of a travel book that shot to the top of bestseller lists when it was first published and changed the way we think about the world, expanding our sense of how strange and marvelous it really is. This second edition takes readers to even more curious and unusual destinations, with more than 100 new places, dozens and dozens of new photographs, and two very special features: twelve city guides, covering Berlin, Budapest, Buenos Aires, Cairo, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Moscow, New York City, Paris, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Plus a foldout map with a dream itinerary for the ultimate around-the-world road trip. More a cabinet of curiosities than traditional guidebook, Atlas Obscura revels in the unexpected, the overlooked, the bizarre, and the mysterious. Here are natural wonders, like the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand, or a baobob tree in South Africa so large it has a pub inside where 15 people can sit and drink comfortably. Architectural marvels, including the M. C. Escher–like stepwells in India. Mind-boggling events, like the Baby-Jumping Festival in Spain—and no, it’s not the babies doing the jumping, but masked men dressed as devils who vault over rows of squirming infants. Every page gets to the very core of why humans want to travel in the first place: to be delighted and disoriented, uprooted from the familiar and amazed by the new. With its compelling descriptions, hundreds of photographs, surprising charts, maps for every region of the world, and new city guides, it is a book you can open anywhere and be transported. But proceed with caution: It’s almost impossible not to turn to the next entry, and the next, and the next.
