Part memoir, part document of the DIY, punk-infused subculture of skateboarding as it came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s, Ed Templeton’s Wires Crossed pulses with the raw, combustive energy of Templeton’s image-making from the last twenty-plus years.Illustrated by photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templeton’s journals, Wires Crossed offers an insider’s look at a subculture in the making and reflects the unique aesthetic stamp that sprang from the skate world he helped create. Templeton occupies the rare position of having been a professional skateboarder, a two-time World Skateboarding champion, as well as a photographer and artist working within the skateboard community as it gained increasing cultural currency in the 1990s and beyond. His work first gained recognition as part of the Beautiful Losers collective loosely gathered around Aaron Rose’s Alleged Gallery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.This work, much of it previously unpublished and unseen, explores Templeton’s own journey as an image maker, as well as the lives of professional skateboarders as they spent long hours crisscrossing the world on tour, reveling in their newfound status as rock star–like figures and the eternal search for new terrain to skate. Interviews between Templeton and fellow pro-skaters and friends add compelling detail about the pressures and pleasures of life on the road, and what it’s like to obsessively pursue an art form—whether on their decks or behind the camera.

Vi er i Danmark begavet med ca. 7000 km kyststrækning, som er noget af det mest varierede, bedste og smukkeste, man finder. Alt fra vilde klinter, stille vige, endeløse sandstrande, Bornholms klippekyster, bølgeeksponerede kyster, strømfyldte farvande etc. Vi har det meste. Tilsvarende er vores nabolande mod nord og øst, beriget med fantastiske kyststrækninger. Alt sammen noget, der kan opleves og mærkes, når man bevæger sig i de kystnære farvande i havkajak. Naturen bliver nærværende, krop og sanser skærpes på en måde, så de fleste får havkajakroningen under huden som en del af deres livsstil. Måske endda som en del af deres identitet, "Jeg er havkajakroer". At begive sig ud i havkajakken for at udforske det kystnære farvand, på ferien såvel som aftenturen, er altid forbundet med en vis risiko for at komme en ufrivillig tur i vandet. Derfor er det en god ide at lære sig de basale færdigheder, der kan gøre forskellen på en god tur og en fatal tur. Emnerne i bogen spænder over den basale viden til mere avancerede teknikker. Alt sammen viden, som en havkajakroer vil kunne få glæde af - uanset om det er en kort tur, eller om det er på havkajakferien.

A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the relationship between capitalism and freedomDespite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more 'animal spirits' capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better.But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we - should we be - thinking about? What happens when one person's freedom comes at the expense of another's? Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do?Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from 'free' - unregulated - markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few - both individuals and countries. He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media.Stiglitz's eye, as always, is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an alternative to that prevailing today. The Road to Freedom offers a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes a good society-and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.
