“Følelsen er vidunderlig. Triumferende.”– Rane WillerslevEr du én gang trådt ind i jagtens univers, træder du aldrig ud igen! Den erfaring har Zenia Maltha gjort sig som jægerinde i en selvforsynende småbørnsfamilie. I Jagtberetninger – 30 jægere fortæller – med forord af Rane Willerslev– folder Zenia Maltha jagtuniverset ud med præsentationer af 30 forskellige typer jægere og beretninger fra deres jægerliv. Det er fortællinger om liv og død. Om rigtigt og forkert. Om fjordjagt i Nordjylland og bjørnejagt i Canada. Fælles for dem alle er en glødende kærlighed til alt det, som naturen og jagten kan give os. Jagtberetningerne kommer hele vejen rundt i jagtens univers. Du lister afsted i buejægerens fodspor. Du venter tålmodigt i tårnet med den nye jæger, på at bukken dukker frem af morgendisen. Og du mærker hjertet hamre, mens noget sort og ukendt stormer mod dig gennem en majsmark. Fortællingerne er for alle − både dig, der er garvet jæger og dig, der aldrig har holdt et gevær.Bogen er for dig, der vil finde tilbage til det bæredygtige liv − både for dyr og mennesker. Den er for dig, der tror på, at dyrevelfærd også er menneskers velfærd. Til sidst i bogen, efter jagtberetningerne, finder du derfor også eventyrlige vildt-opskrifter som agerhøne-risotto og vildt-tartar, der bringer dig fra jord til bord. Gennem 30 jægeres beretninger – om nederlaget, om sejren og om moralen – bliver du ét med jagtens univers. Zenia Maltha har en populær profil på Instagram, hvor små 30.000 jagtelskere følger hendes liv med jagt og natur.
Behind every pivotal winning moment in sports history lies an equally memorable moment of crushing disappointment.From Hank Aaron's 715th home run, which broke Babe Ruth's record, to Christian Laettner's famous buzzer-beating shot for Duke in the NCAA tournament?every sports fan recalls the winning moments that have shaped sports history. But often forgotten are the stories on the other side of these history-making moments, the athletes who experienced not transcendent glory but crushing failure: the cornerback who couldn't prevent the big touchdown; the baseball manager whose team was one strike away from World Series victory; the world-record-holding Olympian who fell on the ice. And while history is written by the victors, even the losers have lessons to teach us.In Losing Isn't Everything, famed sportscaster Curt Menefee, joined by bestselling writer Michael Arkush, examines some of the biggest ?disappointments? from the wide world of sports, interviewing the athletes and personalities at the heart of each loss and uncovering what it means to be associated with failure?months, years, or decades later. Telling the losing stories behind such famous moments as the ?helmet catch? in Super Bowl XLII, with the Patriots' Rodney Harrison defending the Giants' David Tyree; Mary Decker's fall in the 3,000 meters at the 1984 Olympics; and Craig Ehlo's giving up ?The Shot? to Michael Jordan in the 1989 NBA playoffs, Menefee examines the legacy of the hardest losses, revealing the unique path that athletes have to walk after they flop on their sports' biggest stages. Shedding new light on some of the most recognizable scapegoat stories in the sports canon, he also revisits both the Baltimore Colts' loss in Super Bowl III, as well as the Red Sox' loss in the 1986 World Series, showing why, despite Bill Buckner's years of humiliation, it might not have all been his fault.What emerges is a powerful portrait of the grit and resolve required to bounce back from the hardest losses. Illustrated with sixteen pages of color photos, this considered and compassionate study offers invaluable lessons about pain, resilience, disappointment, remorse, and acceptance that can help us look at our lives, our mistakes, and ourselves in a profound new way.
