Bøger af Andreas Christensen

Dette materiale handler om idræt, men det handler ikke om, hvordan du bliver bedre til at slå vejrmøller, danse eller lave indersidespark. Nej, det handler om alt det, som idræt også er. Idræt er nemlig centralt for vores samfund, vores kultur og vores iden- titet, og det er noget, som rigtig mange mennesker til dagligt arbejder med og er optagede af. I materialet kan du læse en masse tekster om idræt. De handler f.eks. om træningsafhængighed, psykisk sundhed, OL som mega- event, om tillid og sammenhold og om mediernes betydning for vores kropsidealer – og megetmere. Du bliver med andre ord introduceret til en masse begre- ber om idræt, som du kan bruge til at forstå, hvad idræt også er. Du kan også bruge begrebernetil afgangsprøven i idræt – både i forhold at planlægge den prakti- ske del og til at argumentere for valg af tema til den mundtlige del af prøven.Med materialet vil vi gerne vise, at idræt er mere end sjove lege og sport. Vi vil gerne vise dig, hvor vigtigt idræt er for os som mennesker, og hvor stor en betydning idræt og bevægelse har for vores samfund.

On Aurora, humanity's final outpost is heading for disaster. In 2080, the starship Exodus left Earth, carrying some 1600 people, to give humanity a second chance. Now, in 2245, the colonists are trying to build a future on distant Aurora. But the doomed world that sent them on their long voyage had turned authoritarian and repressive, leading a small group to form a plan to let those sent on the Exodus choose a different path. While Kenneth Taylor struggles to accept his self-imposed silence even on the new world, Thomas Dunn is slowly subverting the colonial administration. Governor George Havelar, on the other hand, plans to make sure the mistakes of the past are not repeated as he proposes a radical plan for human expansion. In the north a simmering discontent is threatening to break up the unity of the human settlement on Aurora, and former scramjet pilot Tina Hammer realizes she cannot stay out of the conflict. Maria Solis, torn between loyalty to her father's faction and her own desires, is suddenly being forced into the conflict as she witnesses a terrible crime. With an entire planet to discover, tensions rise as opposing forces work their plans. While the leadership of the colony tries to affirm its control, others are working to regain lost liberties. Will humanity's final outpost survive the confrontation, or succumb to destruction? Aurora is the second installment of the Exodus Trilogy.

Legio Patria Nostra (Lat.) The Legion is our Fatherland. Eighteen years ago they came to destroy us... A race of conquerors from deep space had set their eyes on Earth´s riches. Their invasion slaughtered billions. But humanity united under a common leadership and fought back. We chased them off Earth and most of the Solar System. The war still rages on, and every year young people are sent out to die, far away from Earth. Ethan Wang was born on the day of the invasion, during the chaos and turmoil of war and now he´s ready to join the fight. But first he has to become a soldier, and survive his initiation into one of the toughest military units Earth ever mustered: the Ghost Legion. With Ghost Legion, Andreas Christensen kicks off the Legionnaire Series, a military science fiction set in the near future. Suit up, and get ready for a roller coaster ride into space!

On Aurora, a people divided braces for the final confrontation. Aurora, the final destination of the starship Exodus, has become the scene of a deadly struggle between opposing forces, ready to fight with any means available. The rebels have found a leader in former Harvard Professor Kenneth Taylor, who with the help of former scramjet pilot Tina Hammer, has vowed to fight the injustices of the past and regain lost liberties. Governor George Havelar once had a plan for Aurora, but the rebels are now threatening its unraveling. As he rallies his forces to move against the rebels, events take a surprising turn, and he is forced to reconsider his options. Meanwhile, Thomas Dunn is fighting a guerrilla war in the hills and forests, and so far, the rebels have kept the enemy at bay. As winter draws to a close, an overwhelming force is coming north to end the war once and for all. But everything changes when the enemy's attack turns to frantic retreat. Benjamin Waters, once a boy soldier caught up in the turmoil of rebellion, has found himself developing amazing abilities, but the ghosts of his past are slowly creeping up on him. Will he find redemption, or will he lose himself to the parasite infesting his very soul? When Maria Solis is searching for a way to expand further north, she makes a discovery that changes everything. But little does she know that the answer to an even greater mystery, which has eluded sages and scientists for thousands of years, will soon be revealed. It is time for the explosive conclusion to the saga that began with the appearance of a rogue planet threatening humanity's existence. Will this be the final chapter of humans on Aurora, or a new beginning?

The Rift Saga continues... From the ashes of what used to be North America, a new nation was forged by survivors of the Fall, who descended from their Lunar colonies. They called this new nation the Covenant, and two centuries later, it is stronger than ever. The Moon people rule with an iron fist, to ensure their dominance, for the Covenant is a nation where a chosen few prosper at the cost of everyone else, who are forced to serve their masters their entire lives. Sue and Dave are on the run with a price on their heads. They have discovered deadly secrets that the Covenant must keep hidden in order to protect their long-term plans for world domination. Meanwhile, the power struggles within the factions of the Moon people reach new heights, and a new development is about to set the world on fire. This is the second book in the Rift Saga, which is set more than two centuries after the events of Exodus.

RIFT - The new dystopian trilogy book 1 from the author of the Exodus Trilogy. The RIFT Saga begins here. In the ruins of what was once North America lays the Covenant, a nation forged by the iron will of the Moon people, who descended from their dusty refuge on the Moon after the Fall. The Moon people are wealthy, ruled by a strong government who protects its citizens from the dangers from outside their borders. Their greatest achievement is having learned the secret of immortality, and every citizen has the opportunity to live nearly forever if they choose to, a life of riches and abundance. The English are the descendants of the original inhabitants of this place, and they live very different lives from that of the Moon people. They only live to serve the greater good, and citizenship is something few have the opportunity to earn. At the age of fifty all non-citizens are subjected to mandatory euthanasia. In order to maintain a sustainable society, they are told. Every year a number of girls and boys at the age of eighteen are selected for Service to the State. The brightest and most talented are sent to become Students. The strong, the fighters and the athletes become Janissaries, a band of soldiers protecting the northern border from the enemies of the Covenant. The Wardens, a secretive organization known to operate far to the west, near the Rift, which makes up the border to the wastelands, sometimes choses one or two initiates, but nobody knows what becomes of them. And then there is the Corpus, where the whip rules and backs are bent. Those who complete their Service, may become citizens. And although they will never be equal to the Moon people, they will have access to all the riches and opportunities granted by the Covenant leadership to its citizens. As Sue is nearing Selection Day, she secretly hopes to be chosen, despite having to leave her mother and brother behind. She doesn't crave glory or wealth though. A man or woman with citizen status can do a lot of good, and although few return to their home towns, Sue hopes to return to give her family a better life on the other side of Service. But the Covenant is rotten to the core, and as she begins to learn its secrets, Sue must question everything she has always taken for granted. Soon she will find herself in dire peril, for she has seen the truth and there will be no turning back after that... This science fiction dystopian trilogy is set more than two centuries after the events of Exodus, in a future dystopian society forged from the ashes of global disaster.

Bogen giver et overblik over den seneste udvikling for vertikale aftaler i konkurrenceretlig belysning og bidrager dermed til debatten om, hvor konkurrenceretten inden for vertikale aftaler befinder sig i skivende stund.Visse vertikale aftaler gør det muligt at: ”(...) forbedre den økonomiske effektivitet inden for en produktions- eller distributionskæde ved at muliggøre bedre koordinering mellem de deltagende virksomheder. De kan navnlig medføre en reduktion af parternes transaktions- og distributionsomkostninger og optimere deres afsætnings- og investeringsniveau.” (Kfo 330/2010).Dansk ret indeholder ikke nogen generel lovgivning omkring vertikale aftaler. Med en grundlæggende aftalefrihed i dansk ret betyder det, at man som udgangspunkt frit kan aftale og indgå kontrakter på de vilkår, parterne måtte ønske. Visse typer af vertikale aftaler er dog specifikt reguleret i dansk ret – dette ses blandt andet i kommissionsloven, handelsagentloven og benzinforhandlerkontraktloven.Vertikale aftaler er dog på samme måde som horisontale aftaler omfattet af konkurrenceretten, og derfor bør kontraktparter være yderst opmærksomme på, at de vertikale elementer, som kontrakten måtte indeholde, overholder konkurrencereglerne og retspraksis på området. Det har afgørende betydning for virksomheders udøvelse af deres hverv at få klarlagt, under hvilke lovgivningsmæssige rammer de agerer – særligt når konsekvenserne ved at overskride rammerne kan have indgribende konsekvenser.Dette gør sig også gældende for vertikale aftaler, hvor domstole – både de nationale og inden for EU – jævnligt bliver anmodet om at definere de konkurrenceretlige begreber og præcisere, hvor grænserne går for virksomheders frihed til at bestemme indholdet af leverandør- og kundeaftaler.Bogen er en dansk version af Vertical Agreements in EU Competition Law.
