Om de drivkræfter, der har medvirket til at verden er blevet flad, i den forstand, at der er skabt en virtuel global digital arbejdsplatform. Fra Berlinmurens fald til de nyeste tendenser inden for teknologi og livsstil The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever – but does this ‘death of distance’, which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedm

Langsomt dukker brudstykker af fortiden op, og hun indser, at hun kan være involveret i en grov forbrydelse. Politiet mistænker hende, mens hun selv forsøger at stykke sandheden sammen via fotos, breve og andres reaktioner.

What does history really consists of? Centuries of people quietly going about their daily business. And where did all these normal activities take place? At home. Taking a journey around the rooms of his own house, an 1851 Norfolk rectory, the author discovered surprising connections in relation to the history of the way we live. In At Home, Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity, irresistible wit, stylish prose and masterful storytelling that made A Short History of Nearly Everything one of the most lauded books of the last decade, and delivers one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily busin
The Resurrection of Newcastle United The noise grew. Everywhere you looked Newcastle fans were on their feet, United, at last, in song. St James' Park was rocking, a noise that carried down from the cathedral at the top of the hill, down through the city. It felt like a celebration. It wasn't. Newcastle -- facing Tottenham Hotspur on the last day of the 2015/16 Premier League season -- had already been relegated. The fervent atmosphere was instead a final call of support for the manager, Rafa Benitez. It was only his tenth game in charge -- not enough time for him to steer Newcastle clear of relegation -- yet the St James' crowd were imploring him to stay. The Spaniard had fallen into the hearts of the people of Tyneside. Spurs -- second in the league before kick-off -- were beaten 5-1. A club was stirring back to life. The job at hand though, was huge: galvanise and resurrect a club and
The Home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland Alnwick Castle is at the heart of Northumberland, England's most northerly county, a land filled with ancient market towns, golden beaches, moorland, and the remains of Hadrian's Wall. This imposing medieval castle sits by the River Aln on the edge of Alnwick town overlooking a landscape by Capability Brown. The home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Alnwick Castle has belonged to the Percy family for over seven centuries. One of the largest inhabited castles in Britain, it is also visited by hundreds of thousands of people every summer.

With unique access to both the castle and the Percy family archives, and the full cooperation of the Duke and Duches
