Han var även initiativtagare till vänföreningarna Faschings vänner samt Arenagruppens vänner.

Medan Gunnar såg vattenmassorna till vänster glimma i motljuset såg han en mycket liten rännil tränga sig fram på dammens högra sida ett stycke ner på den väldiga slänten som sträckte sig ner ända till botten av den djupa dalen. Helt stel och mållös kunde han bara se vad som hände. Några små stenar lossnade och följde med vattnet neråt. Flödet syntes öka och någon sten tumlade nedför slänten. Det var en mycket märklig och skrämmande upplevelse. Detta att just han skulle befinna sig just här, nu när något som kunde bli en katastrof höll på att inträffa. Uppskakad tog han några steg tillbaka och letade i fickorna efter mobiltelefonen. Lite för dålig täckning och dåligt laddat batteri, men lyckades ändå nå larmcentralen med 112. Vad det var för problem? Var han befann sig? -Men jag försöker ju förklara att hela dammen riskerar att undermineras och spolas bort! Det kan bli en katastrof! Fattar du? Då tystnade telefonen, ingen kontakt.

Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it’s stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks. How to get a better night’s sleep in 3 weeks: Don’t believe everything you read or hear about sleepLet go of the 8-hour ruleUse the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeksDiscover your personal sleep needsExamine your attitude towards lying awake at nightShorter total bed times might be betterFocus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleepingReduce stressKeep regular bedtimesFollow the rules of natureRespect your personal circadian rhythmDon’t tempt the night-time ghostsHuman sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter–gatherer lifestyle. It’s not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour.Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

När Alexandras man för första gången lyfter idén om en van rynkar hon bara på näsan. Husbilar förknippar hon med campingar fulla med engångsgrillar, skrikande ungar och foppatofflor, så långt bort från vad hon anser vara avkoppling. Men de senaste åren har stressen och pressen från hur vi förväntas leva våra liv börjat kväva henne allt mer. En känsla av att aldrig räcka till. Varför är hon så olycklig trots att hon har allt? Till slut finns inget annat val att göra en förändring och tillsammans väcker de liv i idén om en van. Det blir en resa om att bryta sig loss från samhällets normer och förväntningar på hur vi ska leva våra liv. Om att vilja något annat bortom ekorrhjulet och skapa sig ett liv på sina egna villkor, ett enklare, mer minimalistiskt och meningsfullt liv. Drömmen om ett annat liv är en personlig berättelse om att göra sig av med allt man äger, flytta in i en skåpbil och leva vanlife. Om att söka frihet och börja leva i stället för att bara överleva. Vad händer med oss när vi skalar bort allt som definierar oss på ytan, vilka är vi då?

*THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* What is a dream? Why do we dream? How do our bodies and minds use dreams?These questions are the starting point for this unprecedented, astonishing study of the role and significance of dreams, from the beginning of human history. An investigation on the grand scale, encompassing literature, anthropology, religion, and science, it articulates the essential place dreams occupy in human culture, and how they functioned as the catalyst that compelled us to transform our earthly habitat into a human world.From the earliest cave paintings - where the author finds a key to humankind's first dreams, which contributed to our capacity to perceive past and future - to cutting-edge scientific research, Ribeiro arrives at startling and revolutionary conclusions about the role of dreams in human existence and evolution.He explores the advances that contemporary neuroscience, biochemistry and psychology have made into the connections between sleep, dreams, and learning, before revealing what dreams have taught us about the neural basis of memory and the transformation of memory in recall. And he makes clear that the earliest insight into dreams as oracular has been confirmed by contemporary research.Accessible, authoritative, and fascinating from first to last, The Oracle of Night gives us a wholly new way to understand this most basic of human experiences.
