4. bind i vikingesagen om Danmarks fødsel. Ulv Palnatoke er ikke en mand, der ret gerne bøjer nakken for nogen – hverken Danmarks konge, Harald Blåtand, eller den blodtørstige Otto den Store, der ikke har glemt sit ydmygende nederlag til Palnatoke. Året er 960, og Otto den Store står nu ved Dannevirke med sin enorme hær. Han vil endnu en gang forsøge at kristne danerne eller dø i forsøget – hvilket Palnatoke rigtig gerne vil hjælpe ham med! Harald Blåtand skyr ingen midler i sin indædte kamp for at beholde kongestolen i Jelling og tilkalder Palnatoke for at stå imod Otto den Stores kristne erobringstogt. Er Palnatokes kampgejst, viljestyrke og legendariske temperament nok til at stoppe Ottos korstog og endnu en gang forhindre kristendommen i at krydse Dannevirke? Ja, det må guderne vide!Jernbyrd er en fascinerende, humoristisk og barsk fortælling om en tid, hvor danerne konstant lå i krig med hinanden og utallige andre folkeslag i jagten på rigdom, skjaldenes lovprisning og evig ære - en skønlitterær fortælling baseret på faktiske begivenheder.

Jorden er trådt ind i en ny geologisk tidsalder: den antropocæne. Mennesket er den dominerende livsform på planeten, og klimakrisen er en realitet. En realitet så omfattende og kompleks at vores eksisterende viden om naturkatastrofer ikke rækker. Med de udfordringer verden står overfor, er det nødvendigt at se på, hvad der binder os sammen, og hvordan vi kan styrke de tråde, der løber mellem alt levende — den intime, fundamentale forbindelse mellem mennesker og natur, som vi har glemt i dag.Bogen er en referenceramme og en ufuldstændig encyklopædi. En ufuldstændighed der afspejler verdens opbrudte, sammensatte tilstand. Det er ikke muligt at tegne et præcist, fuldkomment billede af en planet under forandring, og det rækker ikke at isolere problemerne eller at betragte det antropocæne fra et begrænset perspektiv eller fagområde. Den forsøger at fange de vigtigste positioner i den omskiftelige debat omkring planetens tilstand, samlet under spørgsmålet: Hvordan lever vi sammen? Og hvem er vi, når vi ikke blot er mennesker, men også natur?Denne engelsksprogede antologi rummer bidrag af knap 100 danske og internationale forfattere, forskere, filosoffer, kunstnere og arkitekter, heriblandt Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway, Peter Weibel, Greta Thunberg, Björk, Connie Hedegaard, Minik Rosing, Carsten Jensen, Josefine Klougart, SUPERFLEX og Tomás Saraceno.
