En personlig og inspirerende havebog om at begynde forfra.De fleste kender Ghita Nørby som skuespiller, men hun er også et passioneret havemenneske. Haven er hendes fristed, og da stormen Bodil ødelægger den, beslutter hun sig for at begynde helt forfra. I "Det er aldrig for sent" fortæller hun sammen med haveeksperten og vennen Torben Thim om tankerne bag den nye have til inspiration for alle os andre - og om at forholde sig til naturens kræfter, personlige kriser og den livslyst, som får en til at overkomme det hele. For i modsætning til hvad mange andre måske ville gøre, og måske særligt i hendes alder, beslutter Ghita sig for at jævne haven med jorden og skabe en ny.

MICHAEL RASMUSSEN har fortalt myndighederne om sit eget dopingmisbrug. Og om andre rytteres. Han er efterfølgende blevet kaldt stikker – af folk, som samtidig hævder, at de ønsker en ren sport. Holdningen synes at være, at man skal fortælle alt, men endelig ikke det hele.Argumentet er lige så korrupt som cykelsporten selv, men symptomatisk for en sportsgren, hvor rytterne bliver stigmatiseret, ligegyldigt hvad de gør. Holder de kæft, er de løgnere, der dækker over doping og ødelægger sporten. Går de til bekendelse, bliver de også kaldt løgnere og udstødt af cykelverdenen. MICHAEL RASMUSSEN har besluttet sig for at gøre op med tavshedskulturen. Kun den egentlige fortælling kan bringe cykelsporten videre.Nu er han klar til at fortælle sin historie.

Saml urter og brug dem i køkkenet - hver dag. Dette er bogen, der med tip til at sylte, salte, henkoge, tørre, fermentere og meget mere giver konkrete ideer til, hvordan man bruger alt det, man kan samle ude i naturen, i sin daglige madlavning. Samler, kok og naturvejleder Thomas Laursen viser i sin nye bog, hvordan man salter, sylter, tørrer og fermenterer naturens spiselige vilde urter, svampe og bær, så man kan lave sit eget vilde forrådskammer. Med det har man altid noget, man kan tage ned fra hylden eller ud af køleskabet og bruge til at give maden masser af smag og et personligt touch. I sin første bog tog Thomas Laursen afsæt ude i naturen, hvor han vejledte i, hvilke vilde planter der voksede i de forskellige biotoper. I Vild mad i køkkenet er han rykket ind til køkkenbordet, hvor han bruger alt det gode fra naturen til at lave et væld af lækre ting og sager, man kan have glæde af hele året rundt. Bogen indeholder således også en masse enkle, lækre, let tilgængeligt retter, der alle er en blanding af købt, dyrket, avlet, samlet, fermenteret og saltet, og alle er sprængfyldt med god smag. Det er mad, der for eksempel kan minde én om den sommerdag, man plukkede de roser, hvis duft nu springer ud af flasken og kommer i salaten med hummer.

Den danske natur er i fokus i denne bog af naturentutiasten J. Muus Pedersen, der gennem mange år begik sig både til lands og til vands som jager og fisker. Lige så meget som det er en landskabsfortælling handler bogen om det danske dyreliv, der er langt mere varieret end de fleste tror.Just Christian Muus-Pedersen (1908-1978) var en dansk forfatter, journalist, tegner, jæger og lokkefuglemager. Han debuterede som forfatter i 1948 med bogen "Vildt forude" og udgav siden flere bøger om jagt og natur. J. Muus-Pedersen voksede op i Nordjylland, og den nordjyske natur har spillet en stor rolle i hans forfatterskab, som indeholder smukke beskrivelser fra hans barndomsland.

It has been said that the character of a man is like a tree and his actions, good or bad, determine the fruit. The American Gentleman strives to make life more fulfilling and is written to inspire men to adopt a personal philosophy for growth and maturity. Through observation, integrity, spiritual philanthropy, altruism and knowing reality is perception a state of character can be formed for self-improvement, but more than anything else, we learn how to consciously become more considerate of others. You will not find a thousand-and-one rules of etiquette or a guide to hedonism in this book. Instead, you will find a gentlemans manifesto based on the life experiences and considerations of a cultured and professional American man seeking social civility and greater personal character. Not dogmatic, The American Gentleman is written with certain questions in mind: How may chivalry be applied today? When does it become chauvinism? Are these present customs or behaviors that may be improved? How can men and women behave more harmoniously? In other words, is there civilized human behavior that can be identified, explained and formulated into a recognized standard and then applied to our contemporary lives?As storm clouds gather on the horizon of 21st century American society, many men and women are seeking a greater meaning of life. Most troubling is the polarizing of American culture as divisive trends in gender relations, political ideology, technology and family dynamics are impacting the way Americans live. It is time for change. Simply put, The American Gentleman offers a path for men to achieve their personal goals while assisting others along the way. I admire your consideration of the gentlemans manifesto. C. Everett Koop, MD
