Laura Gustafsson

HUORASATU Whorestory is a debut novel that breaks genre boundaries. It hov-ers between conventional fiction, pornography and chick lit, and is unashamedly over the top in every respect. It raises the middle finger on behalf of all those who have been treated unjustly because of their gender, sexual orientation or social status. First and foremost,

the book is a description of how woman was created. Whorestory describes violence against women, but also likens violence perpetrated by men to breeches of animal rights. Despite the weighty subject matter, the novel’s text is light to read: the author combines eve-ryday realism, Greek mythology and fantasy to create a merry mix.

Laura Gustafsson

ANOMALIAAnomalia gives also a voice to those who, for one reason or another, don’t speak or no one listens to. This time, the voice belongs to children, animals and feral children. The book explores issues of human worth and the right to live, but does the human species possess an exclusive right to humanity? Anomalia is a story about humanity in animals and animality in humans. The experience of reading the book hurts, and it shows no mercy for the reader, even during the very last pages. Shutting your eyes is not an option either, for even if the main characters kept quiet, the stones would cry out their story.

Maaria Päivinen

BEING HUNGRY, BEING THIRSTY On nälkä, on jano (Being Hungry, Being Thirsty) is a novel, in which a woman enslaves men.

Scarlet-haired Emilie Silvia Grass loses control of her life. After mister Blumen leaves her, Emilie is filled with less than a twenty centimeters deep longing in her. Emilie starts a career as a pimp and pours her anguish out on men. But is it possible to ever get rid of the misery/longing – especially after having done so much damage?

The spooky and corgeous novel of Maaria Päivinen plays with the reality. It shows, how a human being can be cold and at the same time full of feelings.

The three novels of Päivinen show, how variedly and richly she can write.

FINNISH LESSONSWhat can the world learn from educational change in Finland

Ever wondered how Finland man-aged to build its highly regarded school system? Look behind the headlines to find out what makes it work and how it evolved.

Get the insights and facts you’ll need to contribute to building an effective, low cost educational system at local, national and global level.

Pasi Sahlberg recounts the history of Finnish edu-cational reform as only a well-traveled insider can. He details how the Finnish strategy and tactics dif-fer from those of the global educational reform move-ment, and of the North American reforms in particu-lar.

Finnish Lessons goes beyond the facts and figures of Finnish education. Rather than proposing that other nations follow in Finland’s path, Finnish Lessons documents how Finland achieved success without going through the arduous and controversial process of implementing competition, school choice, and test-based accountability.

Here parents, educators and policy architects can gain the insight and facts necessary to constructively participate in improving their schools — even in a tightening economy.

This book is also a message of hope and encour-agement for other nations to find their own way to enact educational reform that works.

100 SOCIAL INNOVATIONS FROM FINLANDOne might wonder what a single-chamber parlia-ment, dish drying cabinets and text messaging have in common. Or what the link is between mater-nity packs, xylitol, the sauna and free school meals. The answer is simple: they are all Finnish social innovations.

Finland has significant lessons learned to offer: how a country manage to over-came a ruthless civil war and develope to to a wel-fare state, how social inno-vations have led to societal harmony in terms of gen-der equality, minority rights, free education, and par-liamentary democracy and the consequent social sta-bility they create.

In Finland, as elsewhere, technical inventions have hogged all the economic limelight, but it is only recently that social innovations have been highlighted as the foundation of societal harmony. Gender equal-ity, free education, universal social security and parlia-mentary democracy, and the consequent social stabil-ity they create, have secured Finland’s welfare.

This book, which is both serious and entertaining, presents 100 Finnish social innovations.

Available in 22 languages: Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Mongolian, German, Kazakh, Arabic, Tamil and Bengali.

Woodstock is fuckin’ nothing ifyou’ve been at the Midnight Sun

Film Festival.

– D. A. Pennebaker in 1987

Five days and five nights in the village of Sodankylä, the heart of Finnish Lapland, north of the Arctic Cir-cle. Where the sun doesn’t set at all in summer.

Timeless masterpieces from veteran filmmakers are presented side by side with contemporary films. Lead-ing film critics provide their insight into cinema’s fin-est classics.

Ever since the festival’s origin, its director Peter von Bagh has interviewed the main guests in the famous morning discussions: These sessions form the core of this book.

I hate festivals. The only exceptions are the Midnight Sun Film Festival and a certain Cognac festival. Here I feel I am among friends, among

people who love cinema.

– Claude Chabrol in 1992

Our festival was born out of a strange fantasy and the legend of

our humble beginnings goes something like this: in november

1985, film director Anssi mänttäri was in sodankylä. it was

four in the morning. impenetrable darkness loomed behind the

window. some alcohol had probably been consumed. “Why,” he

asked the municipality’s Cultural secretary, “don’t we establish

an international film festival here?”

And why not, really. Anssi recounted his vision to the Kauris

mäki brothers, with whom he was collaborating at the time. he

also called me and asked me to be the festival director. i cannot

claim to have understood the genius of his idea from the start,

and, the stupid man that i am, considered his notion of the

filmmakers he wanted to invite for the first edition (John huston

and Akira Kurosawa) utopian. Fortunately, i regained my senses

sufficiently in a couple of months and decided to participate in

the work to arrange the first festival. And so the first midnight

So I spent the wartime surrounded by films and studied on a correspondence course. When I returned to Paris I continued my regular studies. The correspondence course had, after all, been very good: I had not wasted my time. In Paris I took advantage of the fact that my uncle had his cinema. He knew I loved films, and was very gener-ous with free tickets. I did not go to school that much because I had become used to the correspondence course. I usually studied at home. I wanted to go to a film school, but my parents were against it. They were very good people but rather petit bourgeois, and said it would not be good to me. I was supposed to study something else first and then do what I wanted. So I did all kinds of things. I first graduated as a Bachelor of Humanities, then studied law for two years and political science for three weeks. My father then said I should study pharmacology so that I could take over his pharmacy one day. I was always going to the cinema and thought why not, I could very well study some pharma-cology on the side. I studied pharmacology for two years – and become terrible bored. I wanted to find a way out, and decided to marry to make things simpler. I was unbelievably lucky, because – without me know-ing it – my wife was a rich heiress. So I spent a few years doing nothing much, just thinking about things, and we had two children. Then my wife’s grandmother hap-pened to die and leave a certain amount of money to her grandchildren. My wife didn’t know what to do with the

money, so I suggested: “Let’s make a film!” It became my first film Le Beau Serge (1958), which actually was a rather immoral story. I was lucky because the film was fairly suc-cessful and enabled me to make more films. The funny thing was that I had, as a matter of fact, also learned what I knew of filmmaking on a correspondence course. I had seen a film being shot one or two times, but I had never even worked as an assistant. When I made my first film I behaved like a banker: I said that because I’m paying, I’m also going to direct. So on the first day of the shoot I was given the view-finder and asked what I wanted shoot. The camera was there, and I was asked if it was the way I wanted it. I looked and looked, but couldn’t see a thing. The cam-eraman came to help me and said I was looking in the wrong place, I needed to put my eye a little further up. I managed to retain my authority, however, by asking them to bring the camera ten centimetres lower when I finally saw something.

This was what my childhood was like – or a part of it, to be more precise. It is not quite over yet.

BRUTE FORCE The story of Finnish ice-breaking

Brute Force is an impressively written, lavishly illus-trated book about icebreaker ships. It introduces the reader to icebreakers from Finland and other coun-tries and tells about the history of icebreaking equip-ment.

The photographer Jouni Klinga took a cover photo from the end of the beam at the bow of the icebreaker Kontio:

I was signalling to the crane-operator while the icebreaker, the size of a block of flats, was rolling on through a broken icefield at 15 knots. On the pack ice, metre-sized chunks flew like flakes as Kontio carved through the virgin ice field. The rumble of the ice-breaker was replaced by the icefield’s remorseless grinding and crashing. I’ll never forget one of the most surreal moments of my career as a photographer.

Ari Turunen

DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? A history of arrogance

Ari Turunen’s hilarious book takes the reader to the sources of arro-gance and opens up new perspectives on the relationship bet-ween cause and effect in events from world history. We all know arrogant, obnoxious know-it-alls from our circle of acquaintan-ces, from work, politics, corridors of power, world his-tory – wherever there has been space for megaloma-niacs and ruthless behaviour. There is even a name for this phenomenon: hubris syndrome, a personality disorder concerning the possession of power. Original in Finnish (Atena).

Brute Force is written in a style accessible to the layperson, and covers the milestones in the development of icebreaking technology. Many inno-vations in the shipbuilding industry have their ori-gins in the specialised area of icebreakers. The world’s largest, most luxurious cruise ships berth using 360-degree azimuth thruster propellers, which were originally developed for icebreakers. The development of technology used in icebreakers, from thousand-horsepower steam-driven icebreakers to modern ice-breaking vessels that can go through two-metre-thick polar ice, has required great engineering ingenuity. Available in Finnish and English.

Ari Turunen THE SPIRIT OF INTOXICATION History of Drinking Habits

Half of the world’s alco-hol is consumed by Euro-peans. Alcohol is undoubt-edly the lubricator in the European cultural heritage. This book takes the reader to short expeditions into the history of intoxica-tion: what has it meant in different eras, what rules and rituals have been

involved in getting drunk, and how alcohol has appeared in different European customs.

The book reminds us that alcohol has been an essential element in European spiritual life. Drunken-ness has inspired literature and arts; it has even been a divine element for many religions and myths. Ari Turunen has an interesting and joyful grasp when he takes his readers through this human his-tory. Original in Finnish (Atena).

BOOK OF POLESArctic and Antarctic

Why is the Antarctic melting slower than the Arctic? What is the northernmost place where you can find a statue of Lenin? Is there anything green in Green-land?

The huge commercial fleets are eagerly waiting for the new sea routes, especially the Northeast Passage in the Barents Sea. Technological development, high oil prices and melting of ice due to global warming could allow for exploration in the Arctic. However, there is serious doubt wether the mankind could pay the price in case of a severe accident.

25

Greenland has been inhabited off and on for at least the last 4,500 years by Arctic peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada. Denmark has established sovereignty over the island. Greenland today is dependent on fishing and fish exports. Despite the fact that melting ice can be peri-lous for the traditional hunting culture, there are many people in Greenland who actually think melting gla-ciers could be highly beneficial for Greenland.

Timo Forss, Martti Lintunen and Tommi Tukiai-nen are heroic Finnish travelers and journalists who have been intrepid enough to visit Pyramiden and Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Nuuk in Greenland and Murmansk in Russia. Martti Lintunen went even further; he drove through Alaska and had a pint in a pub in the Arctic.

Thanks to Martti Lintunen, an expericed and world-famous photographer, the book is filled with fascinating images.

Hanna Nikkanen

THE WEB RULES Investigative journalist Hanna Nikkanen has written an enlightening, varied book on the sorts of problems that digital internet communications have brought with them. Surveillance technologies used by the security services are expanding more rapidly than the means to shield popular movements from such sur-veillance, and practices that restrict our fundamental rights are advancing more rapidly than laws to protect those rights.

Hanna Nikkanen’s book acts as a prism to open up the multi-dimensional issues – including restric-tions on political freedoms, threats to public security, the spread of hate speech, digital class divisions, infor-mation leaks, exporting monitoring technology to oppressive regimes and reductions in privacy protec-tion – that have been brought about by ever-increas-ing online communication and companies to monitor that communication.

PUTIN’S PEOPLE From Crisis to Global New Deal

In the West, Vladimir Putin is feared, not loved. He has occupied parts of neighbouring countries, crushed independent media and strangled the fragile Russian democracy in its cradle. But for Renat and Galina in the small town of Shumerlya 600 kilometers east of Moscow this is not what counts. The main thing for them is that their lives have improved under Putin. They have voted for their president, and they say they would vote for him again.

Since the large anti-government protests in 2012, Vladimir Putin has turned his back to the urban middle class and followed more conservative, nation-alist policies, aimed at consolidating the support of the silent Russian majority outside the big cities. This seems to be paying off, at least in the short run, while the state still can guarantee economic security for ordinary Russians.

Oksana Chelysheva

THEY FOLLOWED ME IN THE STREET

“Oksana Chelysheva is a Russian human rights activist, writer and cam-paigner. A resident of Nizhny Novgorod, she set up a char-ity to record abuses in Chechnya, the scene of not one but two sav-age Kremlin wars. In 2006 a court ordered the closure of the Rus-sia Chechen Friend-ship Society on the spurious grounds of

“extremism”. In 2011 Putin enacted an even harsher crackdown on non-governmental organisations. Those that receive funding from the west now officially have to register themselves as “for-eign agents”.

For Chelysheva, this clampdown was to have pro-found personal and professional consequences. In her memoir, They Followed Me in the Street, she describes the harassment she experienced first hand from Putin’s secret agents. In 2007 the local bosses in Nizhny Novogorod received orders to halt a “March of Dissent”, a forerunner of the mass anti-Putin street protests that would engulf Moscow and other Russian cities in 2011 and 2012. Chelysheva suddenly found herself in a “spy film script”. Two “heavily built young men” followed her at all times.

The following year, 2008, Chelysheva was in Fin-land when police raided the offices of her human rights group, the Foundation to Promote Tolerance, set up after the Russian Chechen Friendship Soci-

31

ety was disbanded. It was clear that if she went back to Nizhny Novgorod she faced arrest, imprisonment or worse. Chely-sheva took the painful decision to remain in Helsinki. She has not returned to Russia since, leav-ing behind her mother and teenage daughter. Even in exile, the Kremlin continues to punish her for her human rights advocacy. The book has several colour-ful vignettes, describing life in Russia, the callous and arbitrary behaviour of state officials, and the rise of a civic movement during the heady perestroika years. It is also very much Chelysheva’s own story, one of exile, separation, and resilience in the face of threats.”

THE GREAT EUROZONE DISASTERFrom Crisis to Global New Deal

The last couple of years have seen the eurozone lurch from crisis to calamity. In The Great Eurozone Disaster, Heikki Patomäki dissects the current crisis, revealing that its origins lie in the instability that has driven the process of finan-cialisation since the early 1970s. Furthermore, the public debt crises in the European deficit countries have been aggravated rather than alleviated by the responses of the Commission and leaders of the sur-plus countries, especially Germany.

Providing a captivating narrative about how Europe ended up in its present predicament, Pato-mäki presents a radical new vision for ‘global econo-mic democracy’ as the only viable way out of the cur-rent crisis.

Original in Finnish. Available also in English (Zed Books) and Greek. Foreign rights: [email protected]

The Great Eurozone Disaster demonstrates why Heikki Patomäki is one of Finland’s leading public intellectuals.

This compelling and eminently readable book on the Eurozone crisis sides with a revived Keynesianism. It

situates economic dynamics in a broader socio-political and above all global analysis that overcomes economistic

and nationalist myopia. It engages in a visionary scenario-painting of possible futures that breaks with post-

World War II nostalgia. Patomäki offers a breathtaking perspective that deserves serious consideration by anyone

concerned with a progressive and democratic future for Europe in the world.

THE WORLD AFTER CHEAP OILThe World After Cheap Oil offers a thorough package of information about oil, its uses and its role in our society’s important sectors. It presents the most prom-inent substitutes and alternatives, and their limits and promises. It also delves deep into the many risks, problems and mechanisms that can make the world after cheap oil a much more unstable place for nations and humanity as a whole. The book also explains why there has been so little public debate on the subject, and what the future might look like after oil produc-tion starts its final, terminal decline.

36

Contents of The World After Cheap Oil Introduction 1. Oil 2. The End of Cheap Oil 3. What Instead of Oil? 4. Oil in the Modern Industrialized Society 5. World After Cheap Oil Appendix 1: Oil in Numbers Appendix 2: Oil Markets Appendix 3: Reason Alone Won’t Make Change Happen

Foreign rights: Routledge, except in Portugues and German translated manuscripts available by [email protected]

Substantial evidence suggests that we are currently liv-ing at the peak of oil production with few prospects for cheap oil ever returning. Yet the media, politicians and regular people have hardly started to talk about what this means. Oil literally runs our societies from transportation to food production to economic activ-ity. Without oil, everything stops. There are powerful arguments that if we fail to increase oil production, we will also fail to grow our economy as a whole. For oil importing western nations the news is bleak, as higher oil prices seem to put a glass ceiling on their economic growth, making current debt problems worse no mat-ter what monetary and economic policies we might choose.

The World After Cheap Oil is a book on oil, its role in our industrialized society, the

reasons behind the peaking oil production and why it means the end of cheap oil, and

what this all will mean for you and me.

66 WAYS TO ABSORB CARBON AND IMPROVE THE EARTHS REFLECTIVITY From Reasonable Options to Mad Scientist Solutions

The melting of Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, arctic sea ice and Siberian permafrost has caused a rapid shift in the inter-national climate debate. A growing number of leading scientists and gov-ernments are now seriously discuss-ing and planning various emergency measures, or geo-

engineering solutions.Many of the proposed schemes are almost as dan-

gerous as the warming itself, and might actually lead to the end of the world as we know it. Safer and cheaper methods exist, but they have not received as much attention as the Mad Scientist solutions.

66 Ways to Absorb Carbon and Improve the Earth’s Reflectivity is the first book that presents the whole range of existing geoengineering proposals and ana-lyzes the dangers and benefits of each scheme. It also covers a wide range of less known ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Available in Finnish and English.

RETHINKING NUCLEAR POWER

Nuclear Electricity and Nuclear Weapons Proliferation (Spring 2015)

From the 1950’s until the 1970’s governments and corporations dreamt about nuclear aeroplanes and trains as well as freight and passenger ships pow-ered by small nuclear reactors. The Ploug-share programme of the US government searched constructive peaceful uses for nuclear weapons, like excavating canals and the basements of apartment houses and digging mines and gas

wells. Project Super-Orion tried to develop a spaceship that would have flown to Proxima Centauri pushed by the detonations of 25 million multi-megaton nuclear weapons. Sci-entists predicted that electricity provided by nuclear power plants would soon be so cheap that electric meters would become obsolete and unnecessary.

Today, everybody understands that such dreams were mere hallucinations, products of an age domi-nated by an euphoric belief in the limitless possibili-ties of modern science.

Rethinking Nuclear Power asks whether we have already woken up, or whether we are still dreaming. It claims that some of our still existing nuclear pro-grammes are at least as dangerous than the above-mentioned earlier proposals.

41

If we want to produce much more nuclear elec-tricity than we are currently doing, we have to move to breeder reactors that make more nuclear fuel than they consume, because there is not enough (econom-ically available) natural uranium. But if we move to a breeder reactor economy, every transportation of nuclear fuel to a power station provides the terror-ist organizations of the future with a new chance of acquiring nuclear weapons. The spread of breeder reactors would also multiply the number of nuclear weapons states.

Rethinking Nuclear Power analyzes the political and security choices related to breeder reactors and present kind of nuclear power plants and investigates whether our energy systems really needs nuclear power.

THE OIL PALM CONTROVERSYProblems, Possibilities and Politics

Oil palms and other food-producing palm trees used to be the agricul-tural mainstay in humid tropics for thousands of years, before the arrival of European colonists, but have since then been lar-gely replaced by western-style field farming and cattle raising.

Today, extensive oil palm cultivation might offer the most feasible and sustainable way of producing large quanti-ties of biofuels.

Unfortunately, many oil palm plantations have been established on the worst possible sites: on tropi-cal rainforest peat massifs, containing vast amounts of organic carbon. The expansion of oil palm plantations in Indonesia has sealed the doom of large rainforest areas in Indonesia and Malaysia. Whole villages have been evicted by infamous paramilitary forces. Plan-tations established on peatlands have released large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

What kind of palm oil and biofuel policy should we adopt? Should we abandon all the possibilities related to tropical palm trees, or is it possible to pro-duce palm oil in a way that would both alleviate hun-ger and extreme poverty and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions? Original in Finnish.

SHIPS, SULPHUR AND CLIMATEIs it a Good Time to Reduce the Sulphur Emissions from Shipping?

Sulphur dioxide pro-duced by ships can be harmful for human health when trans-ported by winds over densely inhabited areas. Because of this Interna-tional Maritime Organ-ization (IMO) decided in 2008 that the maxi-mum allowable sulphur content in ships’ fuel should be reduced to 0.5 per cent by 2020. The present average is 2.7 per cent.

But the sulphur spread by ships over the oceans also plays another and very different role: it has a strong cooling impact on our planet. Ships’ sulphur emissions have this far masked a major part of the global warming caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

According to the worst-case scenarios the enforce-ment of the IMO treaty would roughly double the rate of global warming. Much of the impact would concentrate at the North Atlantic and accelerate the melting of the Arctic pack ice, terrestrial and subma-rine permafrost and the Greenland ice sheet. This could be dangerous, because the Arctic contains enormous stores of carbon and methane. These fro-zen greenhouse gas deposits will be released into the atmosphere if the region heats too much.

10 COMMANDMENTS TO THE CHURCHThe church has forgotten the political radicalism of Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth was not a lapdog of the mighty and powerful but an insurgent, a liberator of the poor. The Church has distorted the real meaning of the Gospel and tells lies about Jesus.The priest Kai Sadinmaa’s “10 commandments to the Church” is an irresistible book. It is a stumbling block to the establishment. Both believers and non-believers will listen to Sadinmaa’s powerful words. Original in Finnish.

10 commandments: 1. Do not lie about Jesus 2. Stop wooing new members 3. Preach political gospel 4. Quit the investment business 5. Stop favouring the rich 6. Do not bow to power 7. Give up hypocrisy 8. Give up the mass and other forms of magic 9. Let homosexuals love 10. Do not turn the Bible into God

“Chapter 1: Do not lie about Jesus

The true Jesus is not the shy, quiet, lamb-like Christ described by the church but an untamed and masculine Lion of Judea: he is a man full of defiance and fury. He is not a compromise-prone consensus man but the unconditional master of Nazareth who does not truckle to power and might, does not nod his head, does not bow to every direc-tion condescendingly like a priest so that nobody will be offended. He does not fawn or woo or try to secure a pleasant post before retirement, the taxing right or other perks offered by the church, but leaps straight into the fire without calculating the cost, the pros and cons, caring nothing about his own safety. He gives up everything – family, wife, children, friends, career, suc-cess, power, glory, life – but he will not give up free-dom. For that he pays the highest price.

He fights to the last on behalf of the small man, challenging accustomed practises and traditional hab-its. He opposes home, religion and fatherland alike so that all people can be sisters and brothers to each other. He does not found a religion but destroys it in the name of the freedom of man, of love, and of God. He tears down oppressing doctrines and dead letters so that we can live, breathe, and love. He attacks the subjugation and enslavement of men. He topples all authorities, breaks fences, crushes prejudices, turns

every stone, looks you in the eye, challenges and

teases, comes straight at you, speaks directly to your heart through all walls, expla-nations, excuses, demanding your

soul, your heart and your will.”

BUDABEST METRO Budapest Metro is a heavy and hard-hitting non-fic-tion novel and photographic essay in a collage style. It’s a journey into the deep structures of the cultural history and contemporary life of Budapest. Together with a fascinating gallery of radicals from differ-ent times and everyday metro passengers, the book searches for a breakthrough from the vicious circle of our mode of being.

Radical construction and movement in the basic structures of the city. The low frequencies in the metro tunnels start to break the apocapitalist order. The underground photographic architecture repre-sents our challenge to create a communal mode of being.
