Laks og laksefiske på Sørlandet er historien om hvordan det har vært mulig å gjenskape Sørlandet som laksedestinasjon. Etter mange tiår med forsuring av vann og vassdrag, har målrettet og omfattende vassdragskalking ført til at laksen er tilbake i elvene som i sin tid var berømt for sin lakserikdom. I miljøvernhistorisk perspektiv er dette en av få virkelige gladsaker. Den viser at det nytter å snu en negativ utvikling og reparere skader vi mennesker har påført naturen og økosystemene.Sterke laksebestander i elvene på Sørlandet er viktig, og økende interesse for laksefiske i landsdelen viser at investeringene i elvene betaler seg gjennom ringvirkninger som også bidrar til viktig verdiskaping på Sørlandet. I denne boka presenterer forfatterne 10 elver med stor lokalkunnskap, og gjennom tekst, foto og kart inspirerer boka sportsfiskerne til å sette kursen mot Sørlandet og laksefiske i sørlandske lakseelver. For laksefiskere har Sørlandet seilt opp som en ny, attraktiv destinasjon, og Mandalselva er ofte på topp ti-lista over norske lakseelver. Samtidig formidler forfatterne den gode historien om laksens storhetstid, fravær og tilbakekomst – en historie som vekker internasjonal oppmerksomhet.]]>

One woman, one bike and one richly entertaining, perception-altering journey of discovery.In 2015, as the Syrian War raged and the refugee crisis reached its peak, Rebecca Lowe set off on her bicycle across the Middle East. Driven by a desire to learn more about this troubled region and its relationship with the West, Lowe's 11,000-kilometre journey took her through Europe to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, the Gulf and finally to Iran.It was an odyssey through landscapes and history that captured her heart, but also a deeply challenging cycle across mountains, deserts and repressive police states that nearly defeated her. Plagued by punctures and battling temperatures ranging from -6 to 48C, Lowe was rescued frequently by farmers and refugees, villagers and urbanites alike, and relied almost entirely on the kindness and hospitality of locals to complete this living portrait of the modern Middle East.This is her evocative, deeply researched and often very funny account of her travels - and the people, politics and culture she encountered.'Terrifically compelling ... bursting with humour, adventure and insight into the rich landscapes and history of the Middle East. Lowe recounts the beauty, kindnesses and complexities of the lands she travels through with an illuminating insight. A wonderful new travel writer.' Sir Ranulph Fiennes
