Candlelight is hygge; the smell of freshly brewed coffee is hygge; the feel of crisp, clean bed linen is hygge; dinner with friends is hygge. ` Hygge`, pronounced `hoo-ga`, is a Danish philosophy that roughly translates to `cosiness`. But it is so much more than that. It`s a way of life that encourages us to be kinder to ourselves, to take pleasure in the modest, the mundane & the familiar. It is a celebration of the everyday, of sensual experiences rather then things. It`s an entire attitude to life that results in Denmark regularly being voted one of the happiest countries in the world. So, with two divorces behind her & her 50th birthday rapidly approaching, journalist Charlotte Abrahams ponders whether it`s hygge that`s been missing from her life. Is it a philosophy we can all embrace? In a society where lifestyle trends tend to centre on deprivation
- be it no sugar, no gluten, no possessions
- what does cherishing yourself actually mean? & will it make her happy? In Hygge, Charlotte Abrahams weaves the history of hygge & its role in Danish culture with her own attempts, as an English woman, to embrace a more hygge life. In this beautifully written & stylishly designed book, she examines the impact this has on her home, her health, her relationships &, of course, her happiness. Light a candle, pour yourself a glass of wine, & get ready to enjoy your more hygge life.

The 1:50 000 topographic map gives a more general picture of the ground features than a basic map. It shows settlements, houses, roads, cultivated areas, waterways, cutting areas, mires, rock exposures, & relief. One map sheet covers an area of 30 x 40 km & one centimetre corresponds to 500 metres on the ground. The 1:50, 000 topographic map is also an ideal complement to nautical charts as it provides useful information about the land areas adjacent to waterways. For example, all Finnish sea areas are covered by 1:50 000 topographic map sheets. ...

At the bitter end of the 1960s, after surviving multiple assassination attempts, President John F. Kennedy has created a vast federal agency, the Psych Corps, dedicated to maintaining the nation`s mental hygiene by any means necessary. Soldiers returning from Vietnam have their battlefield traumas ”enfolded”- wiped from their memories through drugs & therapy
- while veterans too damaged to be enfolded roam at will in Michigan, evading the Psych Corps & reenacting atrocities on civilians. This destabilized, alternate version of American history is the vision of the twenty-two-year-old veteran Eugene Allen, who has returned from Vietnam to write the book at the center of Hystopia, the long-awaited first novel by David Means. In Hystopia, Means brings his full talent to bear on the crazy reality of trauma, both national & personal. Outlandish & tender, funny & violent, timely & historical, Hystopia invites us to consider whether our traumas can ever be truly overcome. The answers it offers are wildly inventive, deeply rooted in its characters, & wrung from the author`s own heart.

At the bitter end of the 1960s, upon his return home from combat in the Vietnam War, twenty-two-year old Eugene Allen writes a novel called Hystopia. It is set in a strangely destabilized historical moment, where President Kennedy is entering his third term in office, & a new federal agency maintains the mental health of returning soldiers by wiping their memories through drugs & therapy, while those beyond help roam at will, re-enacting the atrocities they have witnessed. Outlandish & tender, funny & violent, timely & historical, Hystopia is a wild, gonzo experience about the nature of trauma, homecoming, & the redemptive power of storytelling. ...
