"Perspektiver på friluftslivets pædagogik" henvender sig især til vejledere og studerende i friluftsliv. Fokus ligger på de problemer og udfordringer, som man møder i pædagogisk arbejde med friluftsliv – så vel de konkrete didaktisk-metodiske som de mere teoretiske.Pædagogisk arbejde med friluftsliv kan rejse væsentlige spørgsmål, åbne intellektuelle horisonter og lokke til udfordring også på det indre plan. Hovedbudskabet er, at friluftsliv kan lægge grundstenen til en spørgende og undrende livsholdning, og styrke evnen til at sammenholde personlig erfaring med refleksion og søgen efter forståelse. I flere henseender bryder bogen med god tone i den akademiske lærebogstradition. Bogen forsynder sig mod denne tradition. Til gengæld har "Perspektiver på friluftslivets pædagogik" en dybde, der overskrider den fremherskende konkurrencestats-diskurs og fastholder menneskets ret til dannelse – dvs. evnen til selvstændig handling, tænkning og refleksion – som et væsentligt ved den personlige udvikling.

Illustrated by Alan Lee. Painstakingly restored from Tolkien´s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Luthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien´s Middle-earth. The tale of Beren and Luthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J. R. R. Tolkien. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Luthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Luthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Luthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Luthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Luthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father´s own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
