The International Bestseller by 'The Galileo of number crunchers' (Independent)Every time we choose a route to work, decide whether to go on a second date, or set aside money for a rainy day, we are making a prediction about the future. Yet from the financial crisis to ecological disasters, we routinely fail to foresee hugely significant events, often at great cost to society. The rise of 'big data' has the potential to help us predict the future, yet much of it is misleading, useless or distracting.In The Signal and the Noise, the New York Times political forecaster Nate Silver, who accurately predicted the results of every state in the 2012 US election, reveals how we can all develop better foresight in an uncertain world. From the stock market to the poker table, from earthquakes to the economy, he takes us on an enthralling insider's tour of the high-stakes world of forecasting, showing how we can all learn to detect the true signals amid a noise of data.

H. G. Møllers oversættelse af Den ældre Edda har længe været så godt som umulig at opdrive. Nu genudgives det lille tobindsværk i ét samlet bind. Første afdeling består af 13 gudesange og anden del af 22 heltesange. Den mundtlige tradition, som ligger bag disse sange, går for de ældstes vedkommende tilbage til førkristen tid og Eddadigtene regnes blandt de vigtigste kilder til forståelsen af det førkristne Norden.

Bogen er en 2 i 1 bog, som i billedbogsform leverer en god fortælling til både børn og voksne, mens den i et fyldigt efterskrift leverer videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Bogen er et opråb, da vi som samfund ifølge "Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet" og ifølge "Amnesty" ikke giver den nødvendige plads til børns nysgerrighed i forhold til krop og seksualitet. Billedbogs-delen henvender sig primært til mindre børn og børn i indskolingen i form af en spændende historie, som gør udforskningen af seksualitet til noget naturligt. Pigen Elba spørger sin far: "Far vil du ikke nok nusse min tissekone?" Dette spørgsmål bliver starten på en længere historie, hvor Elba får kigget i en anatomibog sammen med sine forældre, der forklarer om både drenges og pigers kønsorganer. Elba leger også med andre børn i børnehaven, hvor de udforsker sig selv og hinanden, og finder ud af, at det kilder og føles rart at blive stimuleret på sine kønsorganer. Pædagogen Anton er både accepterende, vejledende og korrigerende i forhold til børnenes indbyrdes lege, og viser dem, at det ikke er farligt, selvom nogen har overtrådt en andens grænser. Det handler bare om at få snakket om det, på samme måde, som var det en konflikt i sandkassen. Børn overtræder jævnligt hinandens grænser, og har derfor brug for voksenhjælp. I efterskriftet, som er rettet mod den mere modne læser, leveres der videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Her argumenteres der for, at børns mulighed for gradvist at udvikle en medfødt spirende seksualitet har betydning for, hvorvidt der udvikles en sund og velfungerende personlighed, som evner både nærvær, intimitet og respekt. Som nævnt, er der i den proces - som i alle andre sammenhænge med børn - behov for, at voksne regulerer og hjælper børn på vej i forhold til at være lydhøre overfor hinanden og samfundets normer. Dertil nævnes det, at denne læring om egen krop sammen med en fortrolighed i forhold til at tale om seksualitet, også kan være præventiv i forhold til seksuelle overgreb. Endelig skal det nævnes, at bogen vil være egnet som læse-let læsning for lidt større børn, der gradvist også vil kunne trække mere forståelse ud af bogens anatomiske illustrationer og ud af efterskriftet til voksne. Det er nemmere at skabe sunde og velfungerende børn, end at afhjælpe, når de bliver voksne. Findes også som lyd- og eBog. eBog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-02-7 Lydbog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-01-0

Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a masterpiece penned by Paulo Freire, is a landmark book in the genre of educational philosophy. First published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2017, this book remains a significant resource for understanding and challenging the traditional norms of education. Freire's innovative approach towards the relationship between teacher and student has left a profound impact on the education system worldwide.

This revolutionary approach has made 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' an essential read for anyone interested in education and its role in society. Published by Penguin Books Ltd, this book continues to inspire and provoke thought in its readers.

Instant #1 New York Times BestsellerDr. Izabella Wentz, the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, returns with a long-awaited, groundbreaking prescription to reverse the symptoms of this serious autoimmune condition that is becoming one of the country’s fastest growing diseases.More than thirty-five million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto’s—an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells.

The key to improved health, she argues, involves lifestyle interventions. In Hashimoto’s Protocol, she outlines a proven treatment that has helped thousands heal and many others feel better—in as fast as ninety days.Drawing on her own personal experience as well as her work consulting with thousands of patients, Hashimoto’s Protocol offers a practical pathway for healing and reversing the autoimmune damage at the root of the disease. The first step is a quick-start two-week detox that includes foods to eat and inflammatory foods to avoid, advice on supplements to support the liver, and an adrenal recovery plan. Next, readers create a personalized plan with foods, supplements, and other lifestyle interventions tailored to their body’s own unique Hashimoto’s triggers, which they can identify using self-tests included in the book. Hashimoto’s Protocol also features original recipes.Grounded in the latest science, Hashimoto’s Protocol is the first book to offer a proven protocol by an acknowledged expert in the field to treat this condition and help sufferers reclaim their lives.
