Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, this is the bestselling story about a rowing team's quest for Olympic gold in Nazi Germany. Cast aside by his family at an early age, abandoned and left to fend for himself in the woods of Washington State, young Joe Rantz turns to rowing as a way of escaping his past. What follows is an extraordinary journey, as Joe and eight other working-class boys exchange the sweat and dust of life in 1930s America for the promise of glory at the heart of Hitler's Berlin. Stroke by stroke, a remarkable young man strives to regain his shattered self-regard, to dare again to trust in others - and to find his way back home.

"Håndboldtips - 725 træningsøvelser til håndbold" er en opdateret udgave - en "2.udgave" af den første Håndboldtipsbog, der udkom på Forlaget Djurs i 2008. Dette forlag eksister ikke mere og den første udgave er for længst udgået af handel. Mange har efterspurgt den, men den kan pt. kun skaffes antikvarisk eller på et bibliotek nær dig. Derfor denne "nye" bog. Bogen henvender sig til alle, der har praktisk interesse i håndboldtræning. Den indeholder kun meget få taktiske og strategiske overvejelser - men til gengæld 725 træningsøvelser, der kan anvendes til den praktiske træning. Bogen er - som de senere bøger i "håndboldtips-serien" - tænkt som et værktøj, der netop kan anvendes, når teori skal omsættes til praktik. Øvelserne kan anvendes som anført i bogen, eller som inspiration til selv at tænke videre og udvikle egne øvelser. De fleste facetter af håndboldtræningen indenfor emnerne opvarmning, spil og lege, fysisk træning, teknisk træning, kontra, forsvarstræning, målvogtertræning og udstrækning dækkes. Bogen kan anvendes af trænere og idrætsundervisere på alle niveauer.
