Softcover, 180 sider. Som ny. Sendes gerne, porto = 50 kr. MobilePay. The Dutch are bicycle crazy. Nowhere else in the world is bicycling so ingrained in the culture as it is in the Netherlands, and never before has anyone captured its essence quite like American photographer and author Shirley Agudo, a longtime resident there. Depicted in this enlightening and amusing book are young, old and even naked cyclists in a country with more bicycles than inhabitants, transporting 'anything and everything' on their bikes from tables and mattresses to four or five children and the family dog. Shirley and contributing photographers Trevor Waldron, Ben Deiman and Max Rubenacker take us along some of the 29,000 kilometers (18,020 miles) of bike paths and into the heart of Amsterdam and other Dutch cities to show us how pervasive, practical and incredible the Dutch cycling culture really is. It's all here the history, the infrastructure, the mentality and the global reputation of a culture gone completely mad about bikes.

White Heat - The extreme skiing life

White Heat - The extreme skiing life

75 kr.

Wayne Johnson. Hardback, 352 sider i fin stand. Sendes gerne, porto = 50 kr. MobilePay. Often obsessed and possibly crazy, extreme skiers and snowboarders are having the time of their lives facing death-defying challenges. But the extreme skiing life isn't just about the quest to finish first; it's a lifestyle made up of insane jumps, bone-breaking speeds, and world records - not to mention the wild off-mountain social world, the flamboyant gear and slang completely unique to it, and, of course, the remarkable history of the racing champions and events that is its backdrop. Wayne Johnson, former competitive skier and acclaimed novelist, takes us into the cult of extreme skiing populated by stars such as one-eyed jumping champion Jerry Martin, who held the North American distance record for more than a decade, and Vinko Bogataj, whose world-famous wipeout on ABC's Wide World of Sports gave rise to the expression “pulling a Vinko.” Here are real-life adventures, everything from Shane McConkey ski BASE jumping the Eiger in Switzerland to Shawn White, the Flying Tomato, throwing 1260s in the halfpipe. Johnson, who has spent a lifetime on the mountains, also puts you in his boots when recounting goose-bump- inducing tales of high-speed downhill racing, Nordic jumping competitions, avalanche control, and the hip, ripping world of snowboarding. If you've ever wondered what kind of nut would willingly choose to fly off a twenty-story ski jump, or have ever dreamed of living outside the usual boundaries, or just like to read about people having life-expanding adventures, then White Heat is an exhilarating thrill ride that will leave you breathless.

Vinens hemmeligheder, Erik Olaf Hansen

Vinens hemmeligheder, Erik Olaf Hansen

90 kr.

Vinens hemmeligheder, Erik Olaf Hansen , emne: mad og vin I mere end 50 år skrev Erik Olaf-Hansen om vin, rejste fra slot til slot, fra verdensdel til verdensdel, købte vin hos fornemme vinhandlere og valgte ud på supermarkedernes hylder. I denne bog fortæller han med en anelse selvironi om, hvordan det hele begyndte, og hvad man opdager undervejs, når vinen bliver en hobby og et erhverv. Erik Olaf-Hansen (1914-2004) er bedst kendt som Politikens mangeårige vinskribent. Han kastede sig straks efter studentereksamen over journalistikken og blev i 1945 ansat ved Politiken, hvor han skrev om sundhed og sygdom. Da hans artikler om alt det, man kan dø af ? som selvfølgelig var skrevet i bedste mening ? gjorde mange læsere ængstelige, blev han rådet til i stedet at skrive om vin. Det blev begyndelsen på en livslang interesse, som har resulteret i mange bøger, der gennemgående handler om livsglæde. Erik Olaf-Hansen er desuden forfatter til et par ungdomsromaner.
