“Cold Hawaii” er de lokale surferes betegnelse for den 55 km lange kyststrækning ved Nordjyllands vestkyst, der strækker sig fra Agger i syd til Hanstholm i nord, og kysten gemmer på adskillige surfspots.Ideelle vindforhold og den voksende surfkultur i Cold Hawaii har været med til at sætte en del af Danmarks udkant på verdenskortet. De kolde bølger og Nordens barske vejr har affødt en nordisk surfkultur, som adskiller sig fra det almene billede af et surfparadis med palmer, bare overkroppe og turkise havoverflader.Denne bog dykker ned i kulturfænomenet Cold Hawaii og den nordiske surfkultur i Thy, præsenteret gennem 20 lokale fortællinger. Her kan du blandt lokale og tilflyttere møde fotografer, lokale designere, ildsjælene bag en surf- og filmfestival, der tiltrækker opmærksomhed fra hele verden, og surfere, der lever i synergi med de nordiske elementer og surfer på de iskolde vinterbølger.Alle portrætterne fremstilles gennem både interviews foretaget af forfatteren til bogen og smukke fotografier taget af nogle af de lokale fotografer, der optræder i bogen. Det er en coffee table-bog, der på fineste vis giver læseren et indblik i den særlige kultur, der er opstået langs den nordlige vestkyst.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like—with a new afterword“A clarion call against the American oligarchs . . . powerful.”—The GuardianIt’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy politicians and swing elections? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.

Part memoir, part document of the DIY, punk-infused subculture of skateboarding as it came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s, Ed Templeton’s Wires Crossed pulses with the raw, combustive energy of Templeton’s image-making from the last twenty-plus years.Illustrated by photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templeton’s journals, Wires Crossed offers an insider’s look at a subculture in the making and reflects the unique aesthetic stamp that sprang from the skate world he helped create. Templeton occupies the rare position of having been a professional skateboarder, a two-time World Skateboarding champion, as well as a photographer and artist working within the skateboard community as it gained increasing cultural currency in the 1990s and beyond. His work first gained recognition as part of the Beautiful Losers collective loosely gathered around Aaron Rose’s Alleged Gallery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.This work, much of it previously unpublished and unseen, explores Templeton’s own journey as an image maker, as well as the lives of professional skateboarders as they spent long hours crisscrossing the world on tour, reveling in their newfound status as rock star–like figures and the eternal search for new terrain to skate. Interviews between Templeton and fellow pro-skaters and friends add compelling detail about the pressures and pleasures of life on the road, and what it’s like to obsessively pursue an art form—whether on their decks or behind the camera.
