THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERTwo long-time friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly-produced expansion of their ground-breaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material.Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to their country's polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-colour photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders-one Black and one white-looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes: Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions Obama's never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his "e;Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches Springsteen's handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors' personal archives Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation. In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.

Ragnhild Holmås ser helt frisk ut når du treffer henne på kafé. Så hvorfor jobber hun ikke? Er hun egentlig så syk som hun sier?Hun er en av flere hundre tusen nordmenn som lever med en usynlig sykdom. Selv om de har ulike diagnoser, kan de oppleve samme bagatellisering og mistenkeliggjøring - fra leger, Nav og arbeidsgiver, til og med fra venner og familie. De får høre at de må skjerpe seg. Slutte å syte. Bare tenke positivt.I boken Men du ser ikke syk ut utfordrer Holmås denne mistenkeliggjøringen. Hun inviterer leseren med bak kulissene til en person som later som om hun er frisk i frykt for å bli mistenkt for å late som om hun er syk.Hennes historie om skjuling, skam og selvbedrag flettes sammen med korte essays og kreative elementer til en sjarmerende, men samfunnskritisk bok. Med humor og lekenhet utforsker hun hvor fordommene kommer fra, hvorfor kunnskapshullet om sykdommer som rammer flest kvinner er så stort, og hvorfor i alle dager folk prøver å kurere henne med yoga og rare juicer.Med forord av Anne-Kat. Hærland.

Da Terje ble diagnostisert med «uhelbredelig» lymfekreft i 2016, gjorde han ikke som de fleste andre - han fulgte ikke sykehusets pakkeforløp. I flere år hadde han slitt med helseplager i form av eksem og psoriasis og mente det måtte være en sammenheng. Han oppsøkte i stedet en ernæringsmedisiner og startet en «innvendig storrengjøring».På tross av omfattende forskning på kreftmedisiner de siste femti årene, er kreft i dag blitt vår mest utbredte og farligste folkesykdom. Men forskere får stadig større forståelse av mikromiljøet knyttet til cellenes energiproduksjon. Kan det hende at kreft ikke skyldes uflaks eller tilfeldige mutasjoner og gener, men snarere er et resultat av et toksisk miljø i cellens overflate?Terjes grep med kosthold og livsstil skulle gjøre sykehusets dom til skamme. Her deler han sin sterke historie og gjør et dypdykk i den nye forståelsen av sykdommen. Boken utfordrer det rådende synet på kreft og oppfordrer til et bredere samarbeid mellom onkologer, biokjemikere og ernæringsmedisinere.Terje Toftenes (f. 1950) er filmskaper, produsent og manusforfatter. Hen eier og driver produksjonsselskapet New Paradigm Films AS. Fri fra kreft er hans første bok.

The COVID diaries of the alternative rock star and bestselling author of SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP

The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan’s first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One — and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.   Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.   In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.

Winner of the Pulitzer Price and William Hill Sports Book of the Year: Barbarian Days is a deeply rendered self-portrait of a lifelong surfer looking for transcendence 'that recalls early James Salter' (Geoff Dyer, Observer)Surfing only looks like a sport. To devotees, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a mental and physical study, a passionate way of life.New Yorker writer William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. Barbarian Days is his immersive memoir of a life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa and beyond. Finnegan describes the edgy yet enduring brotherhood forged among the swell of the surf; and recalling his own apprenticeship to the world's most famous and challenging waves, he considers the intense relationship formed between man, board and water.Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one man's gradual mastering of an exacting and little-understood art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment. 'Reading this guy on the subject of waves and water is like reading Hemingway on bullfighting; William Burroughs on controlled substances; Updike on adultery. . . . a coming-of-age story, seen through the gloss resin coat of a surfboard' Sports Illustrated
