Ny roman av älskade Liane Moriarty!

Under en flygning mellan Tasmanien och Sydney reser sig en äldre kvinna upp och börjar tala om för de andra passagerarna, i tur och ordning, när och hur de kommer att dö: Ett nygift par på smekmånad. En utmattad mamma med två små barn. En ung man på väg hem från sin bästa väns begravning. En sjuksköterska som ser fram emot pensionen. Vissa får veta att de kommer att leva ett långt liv, andra att de bara har månader kvar.

Planet landar säkert, men för människorna ombord har livet förändrats. Vem var den mystiska kvinnan? Ett medium? En bedragare? En galning? Oavsett vad så får hennes ord stora konsekvenser, och binder samman främlingarna på flyget på de mest oväntade sätt. ”Ena stunden här” är en överraskande, tankeväckande och underhållande roman om döden, livet och det som fyller det med mening.

”Moriarty har överträffat sig själv.” Publishers Weekly

The Canadian prairies are often envisioned as dry, windswept fields; however, much of southern Manitoba is not arid plain but wet prairie, poorly drained land subject to frequent flooding.Wet Prairie brings to light the complexities of surface water management in Manitoba, from early artificial drainage efforts to late-twentieth-century attempts at watershed management. Irregular water-flow patterns challenged the checkerboard landscape of the 1872 federal Dominion Lands Act, and homesteaders found their agricultural ambitions at odds with local environmental realities. Thus, in keeping with liberal principles, the provincial government undertook substantial drainage efforts. Flooding and drainage became the subjects of intense and persistent debate among provincial officials, drainage experts, and Manitoba residents. New alliances and rivalries emerged amid shifting social, political, and environmental contexts, with enduring consequences for both the landscapes and people of the wet prairie.This account of an overlooked aspect of Prairie environmental history traces how the biophysical nature of southern Manitoba helped shape both Manitoba society and the provincial state.

Transforming the Prairies proposes a new understanding of Canada's Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA), complicating common views of the agency as a model of effective government environmental management. Between 1935 and 2009, the PFRA promoted agricultural rehabilitation in and beyond the Canadian Prairies with mixed and equivocal results. The promotion of strip farming as a soil conservation technique, for example, left crops susceptible to sawfly infestations. The PFRA's involvement in irrigation development in Ghana increased the local population's vulnerability to various illnesses. And PFRA infrastructure construction intended to serve the public good failed to account for the interests of affected Indigenous peoples. The PFRA is revealed as being a high modernist state agency that produced varied environmental outcomes and that contributed to consolidating colonialism and racism. This investigation affirms the importance of engaging historical perspectives to help ensure that contemporary environmental management efforts support more just and sustainable futures.
