Georg Stage blev søsat i 1882 og var det første civile skoleskib, hvor uddannelsen udelukkende foregik til søs.I bogen beskrives de elementer, skibet og skolen arbejder med i hverdagen, og hvordan de har udviklet sig siden begyndelsen i 1882. Hvad er det for et erhverv, skibet uddanner til? Hvordan har skolen udviklet sig? Hvordan har skibet forandret sig? Og hvad er det for nogle elever, der kommer om bord? Bogen er fyldt med fantastiske nye og gamle billeder, som viser skibet gennem tiden, dagligdagen om bord og de mennesker, som har været en del af Georg Stage gennem historien.Historien om Skoleskibet Georg Stage er fortællingen om, hvordan sejlskibe, mennesker og de rigtige ideer kan smelte sammen og gøre verden til et bedre sted.
Convoy Buddy CB Truckers Klub, blev stiftet i Maj 1978, og havde i starten kun til formål at samle danske truckere, med fælles interesse for CB-Radioer. Klubben avancerede ret hurtigt til at blive landets største, og senere startede klubben de store Trucker-Jamboree med Europas største udstillinger. Klubbens størrelse gjorde dem i stand til at sætte politisk dagsorden, og dermed give chaufførerne bedre vilkår. Vi følger klubbens opstart og de første 10 år af dens eksistens.Når de ”gamle” chauffører, stopper med at kører, slutter en epoke i dansk transport, og sammen med dem, forsvinder en mængde gode historier som under ingen omstændighed er blevet ringere efter at være blevet fortalt flere gange. Dem som kun læser historierne vil sige det er løgn - men dem som var med vil grine og få genoplivet gamle minder om en svunden tid.Bogen indeholder originale tekster fra klubbens klubblade, og historier som er skrevet af medlemmerne – man må derfor ikke forvente at læsestilen er ensartet.
I Stautrup sydvest for Aarhus grundlagde Rasmus Skaarup i 1906 et karetmagerværksted, der over årene udviklede sig til Stautrup Karosserifabrik. Oprindeligt var det reparation og bygning af hestekøretøjer, som værkstedet beskæftigede sig med, men omkring 1920 blev det fremstillingen af karrosserier til busser, vare- og lastvogne, der dominerede produktionen. I årene herefter blev fabrikken løbende udvidet, men besættelsen i 1940 satte en stopper for udviklingen. I årene efter 1945 kom der igen gang i hjulene, og det var for det meste busser, fabrikken herefter beskæftigede sig med at bygge. I 1950'erne blev fabrikken igen udvidet, og flere nye produktionsmetoder holdt sit indtog. Op gennem 1960'erne blev konkurrencen skærpet for produktion af buskarrosserier, men Stautrup Karosserifabrik holdt skansen ved at begynde at bygge bogbusser, ligesom man optog en nicheproduktion med ombygning af kassevogne til minibusser. Udover opbyggervirksomheden har fabrikken også udført reparationsarbejder og klargøring af busser. I 1990'erne blev konkurrencen hårdere og hårdere, og den lille virksomhed havde ingen muligheder for at rationalisere produktionen yderligere. Og i efteråret 2002 besluttede Rasmus Skaarups efterkommere at lukke virksomheden. Hvor virksomheden i Stautrup lå, er der i dag (2015) bygget rækkehuse og intet afslører, at der i næsten 100 år lå en karrosserifabrik på stedet.

"Soon after announcing his first campaign for the US presidency, Donald J. Trump [said] ... that life 'has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me.' Building on a narrative he had been telling for decades, he spun a hardscrabble fable of how he parlayed a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar business and real estate empire. This feat, he argued, made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except: None of it was true. Born to a rich father who made him the beneficiary of his own highly lucrative investments, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today via means that required no business expertise whatsoever. Drawing on over twenty years' worth of Trump's confidential tax information--including the tax returns he tried to conceal--alongside business records and interviews with Trump insiders, New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig track Trump's financial rise and fall, and rise and fall again. For decades, he squanders his fortunes on money-losing businesses, only to be saved yet again by financial serendipity. He tacks his name above the door of every building, while taking out huge loans he'll never repay. He obsesses over appearances, while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits against city officials. He tarnishes the value of his name by allowing anyone with a big enough check to use it, and cheats the television producer who not only rescues him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business savant--the public image that will carry him to the White House"--

She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he—can he?—set out with her on another healing walk?

"Tim Anderson is the perfect combination of eater, teacher and guide and this thrilling exploration of the food of Japan's Hokkaido brings all those talents together. It's a must have for any cook's kitchen." – Jay Rayner "A fascinating, mouthwatering journey into the food and history of the northern Japanese island that brilliantly showcases its unique cultural and culinary heritage." – Melissa ThompsonHokkaido is a cookbook that celebrates Japan’s northernmost island. Known especially for its seafood and dairy products, Hokkaido is a Japanese prefecture that has long been beloved for its vibrant culinary scene. The prefecture incorporates three foodways – European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and indigenous Ainu gastronomy – which have led to it to have a distinct food culture from the rest of Japan.Hokkaido showcases the variety – and quality! – of the food that the prefecture has to offer with a selection of delicious recipes. Think Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter and Rice Dumplings with Walnut Sauce; big dishes such as Fried Salmon Rice Bowl and Sapporo Miso Ramen; and sweet treats like ‘Snowmelt’ Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate. The recipes mostly fall into two categories: traditional, regional dishes and homages to specific dishes. There are also four Ainu recipes, which have been contributed by an Ainu chef, Hiroaki Kon. With travelogues exploring different regions, as well as beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.
"A thrilling exposé recounting how members of Opus Dei--a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect--pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of the world's largest banks. For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world--until one day, in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled Popular and abused their positions there to help spread Opus Dei to every corner of the world. Drawing on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive interviews with whistle-blowers from within Opus Dei, Gore reveals how money from the bank was used to lure unsuspecting recruits--some of them only children--into a life of servitude. He also tracks the ascent of Opus Dei within the United States, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes, including the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. In an era of disinformation and deep fakes, here is a real-life conspiracy which hid in plain sight for more than sixty years. Gore tells a shocking story of money and power that spans decades and continents. Documenting Opus Dei's secret history for the first time, this thrilling work of investigative storytelling raises important questions about the dark forces that shape our society."--

** THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER **** AN AMAZON "BEST BOOKS OF THE MONTH" FOR AUGUST 2023 (Biographies & Memoirs) ** As a park ranger with the National Park Service's law enforcement team, Andrea Lankford led search and rescue missions in some of the most beautiful (and dangerous) landscapes across America, from Yosemite to the Grand Canyon. But though she had the support of the agency, Andrea grew frustrated with the service's bureaucratic idiosyncrasies, and left the force after twelve years. Two decades later, however, she stumbles across a mystery that pulls her right back where she left off: three young men have vanished from the Pacific Crest Trail, the 2,650-mile trek made famous by Cheryl Strayed's Wild, and no one has been able to find them. It's bugging the hell out of her.Andrea's concern soon leads her to a wild environment unlike any she's ever encountered: missing person Facebook groups. Andrea launches an investigation, joining forces with an eclectic team of amateurs who are determined to solve the cases by land and by screen: a mother of the missing, a retired pharmacy manager, and a mapmaker who monitors terrorist activity for the government. Together, they track the activities of kidnappers and murderers, investigate a cult, rescue a psychic in peril, cross paths with an unconventional scientist, and reunite an international fugitive with his family. Searching for the missing is a brutal psychological and physical test with the highest stakes, but eventually their hardships begin to bear strange fruits-ones that lead them to places and people they never saw coming.Beautifully written, heartfelt, and at times harrowing, TRAIL OF THE LOST paints a vivid picture of hiker culture and its complicated relationship with the ever-expanding online realm, all while exploring the power and limits of determination, generosity, and hope. It also offers a deep awe of the natural world, even as it unearths just how vast and treacherous it can be. On the TRAIL OF THE LOST, you may not find what you are looking for, but you will certainly find more than you seek.
