How are ordinary people around the world affected by a planet in crisis?
In the gripping travelogue Between the Lines, renowned travel author Gunnar Garfors sets out on an extraordinary journey along the Equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles to find out. His route takes him far off the beaten path, down the Congo River on a cargo ship, across Siberia by train and over Antarctic ice in a tracked vehicle, as he seeks to understand the human cost of rapid environmental changes.
Through powerful storytelling, vivid nature writing and moving encounters with people along the way, Garfors offers a status report from a world under pressure. He shows how seasonal changes affect the daily lives of fishermen, farmers, city dwellers and Indigenous communities – from the buzzing Amazon rainforest to the freezing wilderness of Greenland.
This is climate reporting with a human face. Enthralling, eye-opening and deeply moving. Between the Lines is not just a travelogue, but a vital document of our time.
Like a modern-day Kapuściński, Garfors sets off on a grueling journey far from the usual tourist trail.

I read this and gave lectures to my whole family all weekend. This book really made an impression — it’s painful, but it’s important. Maybe it’s supposed to be.
