Omkring hvert 10. danske barn kommer til verden med hjælp fra lægerne, mens andre aldrig får de børn, de ønsker. I mange år har fokus været på kvinden, mens manden har haft en mere passiv rolle, når det kom til fertilitetsbehandling. Men faktisk står det skidt til med danske mænd og deres evne til at formere sig. Gennem de seneste årtier er sædkvaliteten i virkeligheden kun gået en vej: nemlig ned. Hos to ud af tre par, der ikke kan blive naturligt gravide, ligger problemet hos manden. Alligevel er det ikke rigtigt noget, vi taler om. »Var manden mere opmærksom på sin sundhed, ville flere børn blive undfanget – enten i dobbeltsengen eller på fertilitetsklinikken«, fortæller professor Peter Humaidan, der til dagligt driver en fertilitetsklinik i Skive. »I alt for lang tid har sæden været undervurderet. Vi taler simpelthen alt for lidt om sæd, for sæden er tabu«, forklarer Humaidan. Derfor har han skrevet bogen Supersæd, der handler om mænds vigtige sundhed, fertilitet og trivsel, der ifølge Humaidan skal i fokus – på hospitalerne, i familierne og hos den enkelte mand. Håbet er, at han med bogen kan bringe sæd på dagsordenen, og derigennem få den aftabuiseret. For når det kommer til at optimere sædkvaliteten, er håbet ikke ude: »Det tager cirka tre måneder at skabe en sædcelle, så ændrer manden sin livsstil, påvirker det hurtigt sædcellernes kvalitet. Supersæd rummer derfor en sæd-kur over tre måneder med fokus på blandt andet rygning, alkohol, kost, motion, overvægt – og at holde testiklerne fri for varme. For alle processer i kroppen, også reproduktion, gælder samme grundregel: Kroppen klarer det bedst, når den er sund.« Udover en sæd-kur indeholder bogen mand-til-mand-samtaler mellem Peter Humaidan og TV-læge Peter Qvortrup Geisling, der begge har oplevet barnløshed og at få et barn samt interviews med en række yngre mænd, der fortæller om deres kærestes graviditet, der ikke kom som ventet. OM FORFATTEREN Læge og professor Peter Humaidan har fertilitet og reproduktion som sit speciale. Først som speciallæge i gynækologi og obstetrik, og siden 2013 som professor på Aarhus Universitet med dagligt klinisk arbejde på Fertilitetsklinikken, Regionshospitalet, Skive Udover at være internationalt anerkendt for sit arbejde har Peter Humaidan en personlig motivation: Ham og hans kone prøvede at få børn i ni år, inden hun blev gravid. I dag har de fire børn.

Kronprins Frederik. Kronprinsessen åbner desuden døren til familielivet og deler aldrig før viste billeder.
What are the imagined communities that compel men to kill or to die for an idea of a nation? This notion of nationhood had its origins in the founding of the Americas, but was then adopted and transformed by populist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. It became the rallying cry for anti-Imperialism as well as the abiding explanation for colonialism. In this scintillating, groundbreaking work of intellectual history Anderson explores how ideas are formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, and the way that they can make people do extraordinary things. In the twenty-first century, these debates on the nature of the nation state are even more urgent. As new nations rise, vying for influence, and old empires decline, we must understand who we are as a community in the face of history, and change.
Læs mereThe modern classic from double Booker Prize winner J.M. Coetzee - soon to be a major film starring Mark Rylance, Robert Pattinson and Johnny DeppFor decades the Magistrate has run the affairs of a tiny frontier settlement, ignoring the impending war between the barbarians and the Empire, whose servant he is. But when the interrogation experts arrive, he is jolted into sympathy with the victims and into a quixotic act of rebellion which lands him in prison, branded as an enemy of the state. Waiting for the Barbarians is an allegory of oppressor and oppressed. Not just a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times, the Magistrate is an analogue of all men living in complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency.

Læs mereMystical experience is not really understood in our modern Western culture, but we have a rich history and traadition that can be traced from remote ages to the present day. It is a phenomenon common to all religions and races, differing in manifestation, but sharing a similar foundation--the realization from personal experience that all things are interdependent, that the source is One. The mystical experience is often brief, immediate, maybe mysteriousa last experience that rbings allembracing emotion (love) into the bounds of concrete reality. Bruno Borchert brings mysticism into sharp focus by exploring ideas and concecpts from world religions and explaining Christian mystics in history, in perspective, and through art. He takes us from Zoroaster to European alchemists, explores the Hellenistic world, the feminine worldview, and the experience of God shard by saints and well-known mystics such as St. Theresa and St. Francis. Modern approaches explored by psychologists like Jung and Maslow, and the contemporary search for mystical love make this a necessary book for people who want to understand the spiritual path.

Læs mereThe title of this collection of essays, Sex and Disability, unites two terms that the popular imagination often regards as incongruous. The major texts in sexuality studies, including queer theory, rarely mention disability, and foundational texts in disability studies do not discuss sex in much detail. What if "sex" and "disability" were understood as intimately related concepts? And what if disabled people were seen as both subjects and objects of a range of erotic desires and practices? These are among the questions that this collection's contributors engage. From multiple perspectives-including literary analysis, ethnography, and autobiography-they consider how sex and disability come together and how disabled people negotiate sex and sexual identities in ableist and heteronormative culture. Queering disability studies, while also expanding the purview of queer and sexuality studies, these essays shake up notions about who and what is sexy and sexualizable, what counts as sex, and what desire is. At the same time, they challenge conceptions of disability in the dominant culture, queer studies, and disability studies.Contributors. Chris Bell, Michael Davidson, Lennard J.

Læs mereWith a New Afterword Must We Age? Nearly all scientists who study the biology of aging agree that we will someday be able to substantially slow down the aging process, extending our productive, youthful lives. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from 60 Minutes to The New York Times, Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely--technology that would not only slow but periodically reverse age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future--is now within reach. In Ending Aging, Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with man-made machines, this damage can periodically be repaired, leading to indefinite extension of the machine's fully functional lifetime, just as is routinely done with classic cars. We already know what types of damage accumulate in the human body, and we are moving rapidly toward the comprehensive development of technologies to remove that -damage. By demystifying aging and its postponement for the nonspecialist reader, de Grey and Rae systematically dismantle the fatalist presumption that aging will forever defeat the efforts of medical science.

Læs mereThe brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key approaches to capturing phenomena not easily measured quantitatively, offering exciting, nimble opportunities to gather in-depth qualitative data. In this step-by-step guide to conducting a research study, Linda McMullen describes the innovative ways in which discursive psychology analyzes language at both the micro and macro levels. Discursive psychologists reconceptualize talk and text as being situated in a social context, rather than thinking of talk as a route to our thoughts. For example, this approach could be used to study how people use arguments for and against the notion of human-induced climate change, or how they criticize each other in face-to-face encounters. About the Essentials of Qualitative Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting and correctly applying the right method can be challenging. In this groundbreaking series, leading experts in qualitative methods provide clear, crisp, and comprehensive descriptions of their approach, including its methodological integrity, and its benefits and limitations. Each book includes numerous examples to enable readers to quickly and thoroughly grasp how to leverage these valuable methods.

Læs mereIn Furiously Happy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. As Jenny says "Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says that none is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos. "Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.' Except go back and cross out the word 'hiding.'" Furiously Happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence. It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life." It's the difference between "taking a shower" and "teaching your monkey butler how to shampoo your hair." It's the difference between being "sane" and being "furiously happy." Lawson is beloved around the world for her inimitable humor and honesty, and in Furiously Happy, she is at her snort-inducing funniest. This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Because as Jenny's mom says, "Maybe 'crazy' isn't so bad after all." Sometimes crazy is just right.

Læs mereThe poet Goethe is credited as saying, "What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it, and the work will be completed!" If only it were that easy. In any creative effort, the beginning is the hard part, filled with fears and procrastinations, and-often most of all-the paralyzing desire to get it right on the first try (which almost never happens). Creativity is evolutionary; it begins with bad ideas and crappy first efforts and the moment we embrace this idea, not eschewing the ugly beginnings but mining them for possibilities, our everyday creativity flourishes. Start Ugly is a celebration of the messy creative process and a call to face the obstacles of that process with mindfulness and humanity. This is a book for anyone who has ever wished they were "more creative." It's a plea to stop looking for the muses and inspiration before you do your best work. Equal parts needed encouragement to dream big and practical advice for getting your hands dirty, START UGLY is a soulful, at times irreverent, reminder that creativity is more the stuff of hard work and courage than it is the stuff of magic. And if there is magic at all to be found, it's in starting.

Læs mereA powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that will inspire you to find strength from within and shape your own destiny. Bharti Dhir faced many challenges in her childhood that could have broken her. As a baby, she was abandoned at a roadside in the Ugandan heat, and miraculously found by a passerby. By divine guidance, Bharti's adoptive mother was led to her hospital cot and welcomed Bharti into their Punjabi-Sikh family. Despite experiencing sexism and racism as an Asian-African girl, and developing an incurable skin condition, Bharti found hope through the fear and prejudice.Then, in 1972 when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda, Bharti's family were forced to flee to the UK. She remembers the horrific moment when her adoptive mother was ordered, at gunpoint, to abandon Bharti because of the colour of her skin. With incredible courage, she refused, risking their lives to protect Bharti as her own. Throughout her struggles, Bharti retained faith in a divine power within all of us that gives us strength, protects us and loves us unconditionally. Years later, now a social worker specializing in child protection, Bharti lives in the UK with an adopted daughter of her own and has found her true purpose and sense of self-worth.
Læs mereIn Disciplinary Conquest Ricardo D. Salvatore rewrites the origin story of Latin American studies by tracing the discipline's roots back to the first half of the twentieth century. Salvatore focuses on the work of five representative U.S. scholars of South America-historian Clarence Haring, geographer Isaiah Bowman, political scientist Leo Rowe, sociologist Edward Ross, and archaeologist Hiram Bingham-to show how Latin American studies was allied with U.S. business and foreign policy interests. Diplomats, policy makers, business investors, and the American public used the knowledge these and other scholars gathered to build an informal empire that fostered the growth of U.S. economic, technological, and cultural hegemony throughout the hemisphere. Tying the drive to know South America to the specialization and rise of Latin American studies, Salvatore shows how the disciplinary conquest of South America affirmed a new mode of American imperial engagement.
Læs mereCommunications, philosophy, film and video, digital culture: media studies straddles an astounding array of fields and disciplines and produces a vocabulary that is in equal parts rigorous and intuitive. "Critical Terms for Media Studies" defines, and at times redefines, what this new and hybrid area aims to do, illuminating the key concepts behind its liveliest debates and most dynamic topics. Part of a larger conversation that engages culture, technology, and politics, this exciting collection of essays explores our most critical language for dealing with the qualities and modes of contemporary media. Edited by two outstanding scholars in the field, W.J.T. Mitchell and Mark B.N. Hansen, and featuring a team of distinguished contributors - including N. Katherine Hayles, Johanna Drucker, and Bernard Stiegler - "Critical Terms for Media Studies" offers diverse opportunities for students to understand the language that underpins much of new media.The essays, commissioned expressly for this volume, not only emphasize the ways in which technology changes our understanding of mediation, but also help to articulate issues important to media practitioners, such as the obsolescence of the body and the changing role of memory. Mitchell and Hansen have organized these essays into three interrelated groups: 'Aesthetics' engages with terms that describe sensory experiences and judgments, 'Technology' offers entry into a broad array of technological concepts, and 'Society' invites inquiry into language that describes the systems that allow a medium to function. A compelling reference work for the twenty-first century and the media that form our experience within it, "Critical Terms for Media Studies" will engage and deepen anyone's knowledge of one of our most important new fields.

Læs mereThe first in a funny new series from former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen and rising star Robert Starling for younger children.This kitten may look cute and cuddly, but better beware: they're angry. Really angry. Angry, angry, angry! And this isn't any old "angry". This is a jump-up-and-down, roll-on-the-ground kind of angry. This is a spider-scaring, tiger-scaring kind of angry. This is a burst-balloon-ing, SQUASH-THE-MOON-ING kind of angry...As surreal as things may get, this is also the kind of angry that parents of toddlers will recognize - a bad mood which comes out of nowhere, escalates wildly, then disappears as suddenly as it arrived. Based on the popular poem from A Great Big Cuddle, I Am Angry combines Michael Rosen's brilliant rhymes and anarchic imagination, Robert Starling's perfect knack for character and a reassuring message: anger may feel overpowering, but it doesn't last for ever.

Læs mereÅrene 1940-1945 markerer den mest dramatiske periode af besættelsestiden i Danmark såvel som i dansk historie i det 20. århundrede. I disse år var Nazitysklands rigsbefuldmægtigede Werner Best udstationeret i Danmark, og han kom om nogen til at personificere besættelsespolitikken. Best rapporterede dagligt til det tyske udenrigsministerium i Berlin, som responderede med direktiver og forespørgsler. Før den tyske besættelsesmagts kapitulation i 1945 brændte Best — i et forsøg på at slette så meget af det belastende materiale som muligt — efter ordre hele sin korrespondance, der herefter ansås som værende tabt. Gennem en imponerende forskningsindsats har John T. Lauridsen rekonstrueret denne korrespondance på baggrund af en gennemgang af især tyske og danske arkiver. Resultatet er tibindsværket Werner Bests korrespondance med Auswärtiges Amt og andre tyske aktører vedrørende besættelsen af Danmark 1942-1945. Der er tale om et delvist ukendt eller i forskningsmæssig sammenhæng ubenyttet kildemateriale, der her trækkes frem i lyset. Således belyses hovedtræk af den tyske besættelsespolitik i Danmark, vel at mærke set fra tysk side. Tysk besættelsespolitik i Danmark 1940-1945 er en introduktion til tibindsværket og rummer det første binds ca. 150 sider lange indledning samt udvalgte tillæg, oversigter og kilde- og litteraturfortegnelser hentet fra de øvrige bind. John T. Lauridsen er dr.phil. og forskningschef ved Det Kongelige Bibliotek.
Læs mereTwo enchanting memoirs from V. S. Pritchett, available for the first time in a single volume A Cab at the Door, originally published in 1968, recalls his childhood in turn-of-the-century and World War I London with the urbane subtlety and wry humor that have marked his other works. For the wild and eccentric Pritchett family, life is a series of cabs waiting at the door to transport them to a succession of ten-bob-a-week lodgings, in their flight from creditors and the financial disasters of their father. A Cab at the Door also captures the texture and color of the working-class side of Edwardian England. Midnight Oil (which Wilfrid Sheed called a "little Rolls Royce of a book" when it came out in 1972) opens in 1921: Pritchett arrives in Paris to commence with a literary career. Gradually, his creative sensibilities emerge as he travels as a reporter to Ireland, Spain, and America. Midnight Oil provides an intimate and precise record of a writer's discovery of himself and his art. "Pritchett is one of the great pleasure-givers in our language," said Eudora Welty.
Læs mere'Had me laughing out loud. I couldn't put it down, finished it in an afternoon.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars Thirty-one-year-old matchmaker Lola James had it all - until she broke her leg at a wedding and discovered that her so-called 'best friend' was suddenly too busy to call, her flat had far too many steps, and her boyfriend replaced her quicker than you can say 'crutches'. And so she's back at her parents' B&B,; sleeping in the living room (she can't get upstairs) and having her hair washed by her mum (she can't get in the shower). Freshly single and with a lot of time on her hands, Lola is only too pleased to run into gorgeous Dr Will, an old friend who has definitely improved with age... And then there's Dean, a divorce who's convinced he's better off alone - no matter how lonely he is. Can Will help mend Lola's broken heart as well as her leg? Can she help Dean find love? As a wise man once said, sometimes the one for you is right under your nose, all along... An uplifting, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Holly Martin and Jo Watson. Readers LOVE Make or Break at the Lighthouse B & B! 'Such a fun read!... Brings lots of chuckles... You'll fall in love with the characters.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars 'Start to finish in 5 hours! Absolutely brilliant.'
