Har vi fått nog eller vill vi ha mer? Du drar i mig, jag drar i dig, och vi bestämmer oss för att fortsätta.

Följ med två syskon som upplever hur en storm sakta tar fart och växer sig allt större för att till slut kulminera och sedan klinga av. Naturen är överväldigande och närvarande, och ändrar landskapet som barnen känner så väl. Det blir blött, det blåser, havet slår mot klipporna. Stundtals kan det kännas skrämmande. Syskonen ska snart söka skydd hemma, ligga torra och trygga i sina sängar. Men först vill de känna allt!

Jag vaknar varje morgon till ljudet av ord omkring mig. Och jag kan inte uttala dem alla ...

En pojke som stammar känner sig isolerad och ensam. Han kan inte kommunicera som han skulle önska. Men när pappa tar honom till floden, så hittar han sin röst. Jordan Scott har skrivit en bok utifrån sina egna erfarenheter, men det är en berättelse som alla barn som någon gång känt sig ensamma eller utanför kommer att känna igen sig i. Jag talar som en flod är magnifikt illustrerad av prisbelönade Sydney Smith och översatt till svenska av Katarina Kieri.

Tomtens första jul

AvSydney Smith,Mac Barnett

Inbunden, Svenska, 2025, 3-6 år

147 kr

Förr i tiden firade inte Tomten jul. Han hade fullt upp med att göra leksaker och sen flyga jorden runt för att dela ut dem, och sen började det om. Med att göra leksaker till nästa år. Ja, han kanske tog en halvtimmes sovmorgon, men det var också allt. Tills en dag då nissarna ville bjuda på något alldeles speciellt -- ett julfirande! Firandet börjar med frukost på sängen, sen väljer de en gran och klär den. Och bakar, man får ju inte glömma julbaket. Sen blir det julbord för allihopa! Tomten tycker att detta med julen, det är inte så dumt!

Häng med när Tomten firar sin allra första jul. Det här är en varmhjärtad och rolig berättelse av Mac Barnett, som Sydney Smith skapat bilderna till. En bok som sprakar av julstämning från början till slut!

"Sydney Smiths förmåga att skapa mångtydighet ur enkelhet fascinerar stort." Smålandsposten

"Liten i staden är årets bästa bilderbok och en av de mest berörande jag läst." New York Times

"Vissa bilderböcker vill man bara krama hårt mot bröstet och känna hur hjärtat slår." Wall Street Journal

Det kan vara läskigt att vara liten i en stor stad, men allt blir lättare om man vet att man inte är ensam. När man är liten i staden, så ser folk en inte, höga oväsen kan skrämma en, och det är svårt att veta vart man ska ta vägen. Men den här pojken vet hur det är, han kan sitt kvarter och några bra råd kan räcka långt. En gränd kan vara en bra genväg, men vissa gränder är för mörka. Det finns många bra gömställen också, som uppe i valnötsträdet. Och om staden bara blir för mycket är du alltid välkommen hem igen, där det är tryggt och varmt.

Sydney Smiths bilderbok Liten i staden är den första som han både skrivit och illustrerat. Resultatet är en framtida klassiker, en berättelse om att se en stor stad genom små ögon. I tonsäker svensk översättning av författaren Katarina Kieri.

Charles Darwin's Notebooks, 1836-1844

Darwin's notebooks provide an invaluable record of his scientific thinking and most importantly, the development of his theory of natural selection. This edition of the notebooks, prepared to the highest standard of textual editing, thus affords a unified view of Darwin's professional interests. The Red Notebook, used on the voyage of H. M. S. Beagle and afterwards in England, contains Darwin's first evolutionary statements. In July of 1837, Darwin began his 'Transmutation Notebooks' (B - E) devoted to the solution of the species problem and in the third notebook of this series he first formulated the theory of natural selection. This volume also contains Notebook A and the glen Roy Notebook on geology, Notebooks M and N on man and behaviour and a notebook labelled Questions and Experiments. Fresh transcriptions have been done for all previously published manuscripts, with readings made directly from Notebooks B, C, D and E, presenting them with previously excised pages and restored to their original sequence.

This volume covers the culmination of Darwin's work on species. From early in 1856, when he was persuaded that the time had come to publish an account of his heterodox theories, through 1857, Darwin's letters document the labour involved in composing his 'big species book', his zest for research, and his unflagging determination to succeed. As always, old friends and more recent acquaintances were drawn into the project. Darwin writes for the first time to Alfred Russel Wallace seeking specimens of Malayan fowls. Joseph Dalton Hooker is his sounding-board for botanical speculations and Thomas Henry Huxley soon takes up a similar role in matters of comparative anatomy and embryology. William Bernhard Tegetmeier is the provider of pigeons and poultry and Asa Gray dispatches from Massachusetts invaluable botanical data. Darwin fully exploits his gift for drawing the best from his correspondents and, collectively, their letters provide a remarkable survey of what was - and was not - believed about the nature and origin of species in the middle years of the nineteenthcentury.

This volume inaugurates a complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The first volume of the edition contains the letters of the years 1821-1836. They begin with one written to Darwin at the age of twelve and continue through his school days at Shrewsbury, his two years as a medical student at Edinburgh, the undergraduate years at Cambridge, and his five years of exploration and learning during the voyage of the Beagle. These were Darwin's years of initiation and preparation for a life of science. In the earliest letters Darwin appears already keenly interested in natural history and an avid collector of minerals, plants, marine invertebrates, and insects - especially beetles. The letters of the succeeding years tell the story of the young Darwin's development up to his return to England when, at the age of twenty-seven, he was received as a colleague by Charles Lyell, Adam Sedgwick, and other leading scientists, who had already heard of his discoveries and observations during the Beagle voyage.

This is the second volume of the complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The letters in this volume were written during the seven years following Darwin's return to England from the Beagle voyage. It was a period of extraordinary activity and productivity in which he became recognised as a naturalist of outstanding ability, as an author and editor, and as a professional man with official responsibilities in several scientific organisations. During these years he published two books and fifteen papers and also organised and superintended the publication of the Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle, for which he described the locations of the fossils and the habitats and behaviour of the living species he had collected. Busy as he was with scientific activities, Darwin found time to re-establish family ties and friendships, and to make new friends among the naturalists with whom his work brought him into close contact. In November 1838, two years after his return Darwin became engaged to his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, whom he subsequently married.

This is the third volume of the complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The letters in this volume were written during the years 1844-6. By 1844 Darwin had become an established figure within the circle of London naturalists and his life at Down had assumed the regularity that the responsibility for a thriving and growing household entailed. Despite his move to rural Kent, Darwin was not isolated, and this volume shows how frequent were his trips to London and further afield, how regular his meetings with his scientific colleagues, and how extensive his network of correspondents.

This is the fourth volume of the complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. This volume covers the first years of Darwin's study of the structure and systematics of barnacles: work that involved a worldwide search for specimens, detailed microscopic investigations, a consideration of the theoretical assumptions underlying classification schemes, and the solution of practical problems of zoological nomenclature. Darwin's convictions about the nature and origin of species influenced his observations and conclusions and provided insights that led to some remarkable discoveries. Throughout this period Darwin also maintained his involvement in major geological debates, as shown by important exchanges with Charles Lyell, Robert Chambers, James Dwight Dana, Bernhard Studer, and others. The letters to Darwin include Joseph Dalton Hooker's descriptions of his dramatic and frequently dangerous travels through previously closed regions of Sikkim and Tibet.

The correspondence in this volume reveals the two sides of Darwin's life in a new intensity. It opens with a family tragedy in the death of Darwin's oldest and best loved daughter, Anne, and goes on to show how Darwin sought relief from his loss through work, with a single-minded but increasingly weary commitment to the completion of his cirripede monographs. In September 1854, as soon as the final proofs of the last barnacle volume had been returned to the printer, Darwin threw himself into a resumption of his species work. He followed up old ideas by initiating new experiments and establishing a worldwide correspondence that encompassed geographical distribution, variation, and plant and animal breeding. The wealth of letters through 1855 makes evident the frenzy of intellectual activity that followed Darwin's terse announcement in his diary: 'Sept. 9th (1854) began sorting notes for Species Theory ...'

The letters in this volume cover two of the most momentous years in Darwin's life. Begun in 1856 and the fruit of twenty years of study and reflection, Darwin's manuscript on the species question was a little more than half finished, and at least two years from publication, when in June 1858 Darwin unexpectedly received a letter and a manuscript from Alfred Russel Wallace indicating that he too had independently formulated a theory of natural selection. The letters detail the various stages in the preparation of what was to become one of the world's most famous works: Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, published by John Murray in November 1859. They reveal the first impressions of Darwin's book given by his most trusted confidants, and they relate Darwin's anxious response to the early reception of his theory by friends, family members, and prominent naturalists. This volume provides the capstone to Darwin's remarkable efforts for more than two decades to solve one of nature's greatest riddles - the origin of species.
