Idræt og udendørsaktiviteter

For mange er jagt noget af det mest naturlige, et menneske kan foretage sig. Jagt er at vende tilbage til urtilstanden. At blive et oprindeligt menneske i tættere kontakt med naturen – både vores egen og den, som vi lever af og med, men sjældent i.For andre er jagten drab på uskyldige væsener og en tilbagevenden til en unødigt grusom måde at skaffe sig føden på. Jagt er årsag til indædte diskussioner om værdier, dyr og natursyn.Denne bog forsøger at kaste lys over fænomenet jagt. Hvad skyldes den store interesse for at tage på jagt? Hvilke former for jagt findes der? Hvordan har jagten ændret sig gennem historien? Hvad sker der, når vi dræber dyret? Er der forskel på inuittens hvaldrab og byboerens drab af fasanen? Hvad betyder jagtens ritualer og sprog for forståelsen af den? Hvilken opfattelse af mænd, kvinder, dyr og natur udtrykker jagten? Hvilke værdier er det, som jagten understøtter og udfordrer?

Et portræt af en fascinerende excentriker forenes i "Out!" med arkitekturhistorie og seksualpolitik. Tennisspilleren og rigmanden Leif Rovsing er hovedpersonen, den danske sportsverden er scenen, og Dansk Tennis Club er det monument, han selv rejser og som bliver et symbol på hans ukuelige kamp mod systemet. Udviklingen tager for alvor fart i 1917, hvor Rovsing – en af datidens mest talentfulde tennisspillere – bliver udelukket fra alle tennisturneringer under Dansk Boldspil-Union grundet formodet homoseksualitet. Unionen gør alt for at forhindre ham i at spille, men Rovsing tager til genmæle. Ikke kun med skabelsen af det meget originale stykke idrætsarkitektur – tennishallen på Rygårds Allé i Hellerup – som han lod pryde med ægyptiske og balinesiske udsmykninger, men også gennem foredrag, artikler, bogudgivelser, rejseskildringer og ikke mindst gennem en livslang kamp for at få homoseksualitet accepteret i sportsverdenen.Bogen er rigt illustreret med fotograf Torben Eskerods smukke billeder af tennishallens interiør og eksteriør, samt af Bali-landsbyen i Asserbo ved Tisvilde Hegn. Hertil kommer en række historiske sportsfotografier og arkitekturfotografier fra museer, samlinger og arkiver.Bogens forfatter, lektor, ph.d. René Kural er leder af Center for Idræt og Arkitektur samt selvstændig praktiserende arkitekt med René Kural Tegnestue. Siden 1996 har René Kural været involveret i forsknings-, formidlings-, rådgivnings- og udviklingsopgaver for danske og udenlandske kommuner, arkitekttegnestuer, styrelser og fonde.

Anmeldernes dom:”En fuldstændig medrivende bog om verdens måske mest komplette racerkører. Fantastisk velskrevet med en gribende og sjældent set varme.”****** Thomas Wulff, tv-kommentator, 6’eren”Hvilken præcision, hvilket fortæller-gen! Den måske bedste racerbog, jeg nogen sinde har læst.”****** Flemming Haslund, Jyllands-Posten”Spændende og uhyre underholdende. De mange billeder alene er hele bogen værd.” ****** Michael Ewert, Bil Magasinet"Medrivende og humoristisk værk. En selvbiografi, man SKAL læse!”****** Flemming Hansen, F1journal.com”En sindssygt fed bog, der rummer en dybde og bredde, man sjældent ser i sportsbiografier.” Karsten Lemche, FDM/Motor"Så personlig, at det næsten virker, som om man sidder ved siden af Magnussen. Også billedsiden imponerer.” Christian Schacht, Fyens Stiftstidende”Fantastisk bog, der giver dyb indsigt i motorsportsverdenen. Anbefales varmt!”Keld Poulsen, læser på gad.dk”En medrivende, velfortalt fortælling om fyringer, dræbte kollegaer og svigt. Fyldt med anekdoter i en fin balance mellem røverhistorier, succeser og nedture.”Bo Skovfoged, Racemag.dkOm bogen:Jan Magnussens beretning om sit turbulente liv er en fantastisk fortælling om en dreng, der opfyldte sit mål om at blive den bedste i verden, men knækkede på vejen til at blive stjerne i Formel 1. Som 22-årig blev danskeren kaldt verdens største talent inden for motorsport. Tre verdensmesterskaber i gokart og en pulverisering af legenden Ayrton Sennas rekord for flest Formel 3-sejre fik alle til at spå Magnussen en enestående fremtid, men et eller andet gik galt på vejen. Midtvejs i sin anden Formel 1-sæson blev stortalentet fyret og af medierne stemplet som fiasko, hvilket sendte ham ud i en månedlang depression og tanken om helt at vende sporten ryggen. I dag kan Jan Magnussen se tilbage på sin Formel 1-fyring som det bedste, der er sket i hans liv. På bunden af sin karriere genfandt han ved en tilfældig test i USA legebarnet, droppede alle pillerne og har siden udviklet sig til en af motorsportens mest succesrige og alsidige personligheder. Ingen anden kører i verden har opnået at deltage i så mange topserier som Formel 1, IndyCar, DTM, WTCC, NASCAR og selvfølgelig Le Mans, hvor Magnussen i dette årtusinde har givet Corvette en lang række sejre. I denne rigt illustrerede bog skriver Jan Magnussen levende og humoristisk om de mange sejre og nederlag både på og uden for banerne, ligesom han tager læserne med bag kulisserne i en verden, der afgøres på brøkdele af et sekund. Han fortæller ærligt om sorgerne og glæderne i familielivet, ikke mindst om broderens tragiske selvmord og teenage-sønnen Kevin, der efter at have fået lærlingekontrakt med McLaren-teamet står på spring til at indfri de Formel 1-løfter, man naturligt tillægger Danmarks hurtigste efternavn.BAG BOGENJan Magnussens selvbiografi er fortalt til kørerens mangeårige pressechef Jan Kaiser samt journalisten Nils Finderup, der tidligere har skrevet flere bøger om Tom Kristensens karriere.

Bliv bikiniklar på 28 dage!Vi vil alle gerne være den bedste udgave af os selv, ikke mindst når sommeren nærmer sig, og det snart er bikinitid igen. I BIKINI BOOTCAMP får du en komplet 28-dages træningsplan, der gør vinterkroppen sommerklar på rekordtid.Planen er baseret på Anne Bechs helt egen FIT-metode med enkle, men effektive øvelser, der kan laves på stuegulvet, hotellet eller stranden, og med masser af gode kostråd og lækre opskrifter på velsmagende og slankende bikinimad.I forhold til Annes tidligere bog, Guide til gudindekrop, er skruen strammet en smule, for det kræver en ekstra indsats at komme i bikiniform på 28 dage. Men når du først har fået kickstartet strandformen, vil det være det hele værd. Og forhåbentlig vil dine nye, sunde vaner sidde fast – de kan nemlig sagtens fungere side om side med et glas koldt vin på terrassen eller en dejlig is på ferien.

Ordet præstation splitter folk. Nogle taler om ’high performance’ som om præstationer og resultater er meningen med livet. For andre er præstation et fyord associeret med forestillinger om folk der bevidstløst spæner rundt i en trædemølle. Begge opfattelser er forfejlede og udtjente. At præstere kan aldrig være et mål i sig selv. Men uden præstationer kommer vi ingen vegne. De udfordringer menneskeheden står over for, kræver at vi præsterer på et ekstraordinært niveau. Derfor må vi nytænke præstation og præstationsledelse og se det i en mere nutidig og menings-fuld kontekst.For at kunne præstere på et ekstraordinært niveau er vi nødt til at slippe mageligheden og træde ind i ubehaget. Vi skal blive bedre til at møde den usikkerhed og sårbarhed som præstation og ledelse af præstation indebærer, og være villige til at gå ad veje vi endnu ikke kender for at aktivere nye lag af vores ydeevne.Bogen fordyber sig i de psykologiske og filosofiske aspekter ved ubehag i en præstationskontekst, og udforsker hvad det vil sige at være et præste-rende menneske i vores tid. En tid, som kalder på en mere meningsfuld forbindelse mellem den ydre kompleksitet og den indre verden vi også besidder.

Det er kun 100 år siden, storgodsejerne mistede eneretten til at gå på jagt – og jagten i Danmark blev for alle. Men hvordan er det så gået med jagten i Danmark siden da? De fleste jægere sætter naturoplevelsen først, men jagt er også blevet en handelsvare med en betydelig økonomi, hvor jagtlejen og mængden af nedlagt vildt er blevet centralt. Så der er behov for at genfinde respekten for vildtet og nye tiders krav om bæredygtig jagt. I Jagt i Danmark – de seneste 100 år ser Thorkild Ellerbæk passioneret men også kritisk på 100 års jagtudvikling – og undervejs får læseren også gode historier om vildt, våben, jagtformer og jægere – dengang og i dag.
