New book!!

Finally my second book is due. Yesterday "Kjør - a haven for birds and seasl" were shipped for printing. The following days will be nerve-racking, but luckily we decided to print the book locally so we can follow the process closely.

From the book: “Kjør is a group of islands, islets and reefs which lie just offshore from the Sola district in Rogaland. It is the last land before the North Sea and the area is not easily accessible to people. There are a multitude of sea birds to be found there, both in summer and winter, and the group of islands contains one of the most important areas for grey seals in the south of Norway. In 1982 the Kjør Islands were established as a nature reserve. If such areas are to be preserved, we all have a responsibility to take care of and to protect all aspects of these ecosystems. To do that it is important to know what we are surrounded by. This book is a contribution towards that.”

This is a rather small book compared to my last book Exotic Rogaland with only 160 pages and the dimensions 27x21cm. It is printed on exclusive paper, and the layout is light with special attention to the images. Dr. Gunnar Henriksen has specialized in seals, and has been working with the Kjør population for at least ten years. His text is fascinating with lots of facts on the natural history and cultural history on the islets.

The book is bilingual with both Norwegian and English text. Therefore it can even be used as a Norwegian lesson for my English speaking followers :-)

It will be available from the 5^th of June, but you might be interested in pre-ordering your own copy? Please contact me to order.
