Happy World Bee Day!

Today is World Bee Day, and at NORLA, we would like to celebrate by sharing a TEDx talk and a podcast with Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson, professor in conservation biology and author of the very interesting and amusing book Extraordinary Insects (original title: Insektenes planet).

Her TEDx talk is called “Insects Are Extraordinary. And They May Save Your Life”.
Hear it here (15 mins).

We also recommend the podcast which offers an interview in English (second link, approx. 30 mins), and a reading from the book in German and Norwegian (first link, 44 mins).
Hear it here.

Digital Lillehammer Rights 2021

As part of the Norwegian Festival of Literature in Lillehammer, we had been looking forward to welcoming members of the international book trade to a fellowship at the brand new rights centre: Lillehammer Rights. This year’s festival focuses on the Nordic region and we have instead invited Nordic publishers and editors to a number of webinars from May 26-28.
