Step aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life & examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017`s World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced `lah-gom`) has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as `not too little, not too much, just right`. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term `laget om`, for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle & there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word `lag`, which means `law`. Far from restrictive, lagom is a liberating concept, praising the idea that anything more than `just enough` is a waste of time. Crucially it also comes with a selflessness & core belief of responsibility & common good. By living lagom you can live a happier & more balanced life, reduce your environmental impact, improve your work-life balance, free your home from clutter, enjoy good food the Swedish way, grow your own & learn to forage, & cherish the relationships with those you love. ...

Lagos is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, expected in some projections to have a population of 25 million by 2025. This will make it the biggest metropolis in sub-Saharan Africa & possibly the world`s third largest city. This phenomenal & continuing growth gives it a heady turbulence, especially as it only took on the form of a coherent urban entity in the eighteenth century. After Nigeria`s independence Lagos remained both trading hub &, for thirty years, a federal capital & political vortex. Now its driving sense of `can-do`, its outreach & vitality, make it a fulcrum & a channel for commercial & cultural talent. Kaye Whiteman explores a city that has constantly re-invented itself, from the first settlement on an uninhabited island to the creation of the port in the early years of the twentieth century. Lagos is still defined by its curious network of islands & lagoons, where erosion & reclamation lead to a permanently shifting topography, but history has thrust it into the role of a burgeoning mega-city, overcoming all nature`s obstacles. The city`s melting-pot has fertilised a unique literary & artistic flowering that is only now beginning to be appreciated by a world that has only seen slums & chaos. COLONIAL CITY: Portuguese influences; the 1861 Treaty of Cession & the British colonialists; architectural traces: schools & government buildings; the move towards independence. CITY OF ENTREPRENEURS: trading through the centuries: Sierra Leoneans & Brazilians; traditional markets & modern malls; the Central Business District. THE CITY OF WORDS & MUSIC: a counterpoint to the alleged philistinism of its businessmen; the views of writers Wole Soyinka & Chinua Achebe; artist & sculptor Ben Enwonwu; the musical genius Fela Kuti. ...
