Høytpresterende miljøer er arenaer for menneskelige prestasjoner som overskrider det kjente og etablerte. Her handler det om stadig å strekke seg etter et nivå vi ennå ikke har sett. Denne boka handler om betydningen av ledelse i slike prosesser. Med håndball og ballett på toppnivå som eksempler illustrerer boka noen av de komplekse spenningsforholdene som ledere i høytpresterende miljøer må arbeide med, bl.a. forholdet mellom prestasjon og helse, individ og kollektiv, tradisjonelle og moderne maktformer og balansen mellom makt og tillit. Dette er et krevende landskap hvor mye står på spill og hvor kravet til subjektive vurderinger og skjønn er stort. Livet i høytpresterende miljøer krever nytenkning, energi og nye stjerner, men her løpes det også stor risiko, både mentalt, fysisk og sosialt. Ledelse i høytpresterende miljøer vil alltid ha et element av ufullstendighet og usikkerhet i seg. Dette belyser boka med Aristoteles' begrep om praktisk klokskap, Foucaults forståelse av makt, team som metode og perspektiver på selvledelseKonkret setter boka fokus på to utvalgte høytpresterende miljøer, Nasjonalballetten og landslaget i håndball for kvinner. Dette er miljøer som over lengre tid har prestert på svært høyt nivå. Samtidig har det foregått et endringsarbeid som kjennetegnes av en etisk bevisst tilnærming til prestasjonsutvikling. Denne boka ser på disse endringsprosessene som en vending mot praktisk klokskap i ledelse.

When she accidentally witnesses one of the golden boy hockey captain's panic attacks and attempts to help him, a strange sort of understanding strikes up between them. No questions asked. Just comfort. But Rhys finds himself drawn to Sadie. Where he feels empty, a shell of the man and player he was before, Sadie is so full of everything, it bursts from her; every emotion she feels seems like it's blasted at max volume.

Already many translations have been made and published of the Gorin no Sho scrolls. Why publish another one then?To quote Raymond Sosnowski: "The most famous bodies of literature were written in Biblical Hebrew, Classical Latin, Sanscrit, Classical Chinese, etc. Not in English. Due to this fact, translated works are open to varied interpretation based on experience". In the case of Gorin no Sho, translations up to now show a definite 'lack' of experience of the writer/interpreter. Gorin no Sho was written in Japanese Medieval times, when education was drawn from Confucian and Buddhist meanings. Musashi draws strongly on the virtues of Buddhist teaching, therefore it is a prerequisite for those studying his work in depth to also study Buddhism.The lack of accuracy in translations is always the result of inadequate background knowledge of a subject. Many translators substitute for this lack of knowledge by making translations that are made up for with 'flowery words'. Many are without doubt excellent wordsmiths but have never actually practiced within the school. It not only teaches the practical fundamentals but also the philosophical outlook one needs to acquire along with the tests of spiritual and mental capability.Why should one choose to favor this translation?Because Kim Taylor already had a more than ample background knowledge of Musashi's strategy and methods before he decided to do this work. Reading between the lines in interpretation is not necessary. Add the practice to the reading, commit a lifetime to its study and we have the whole picture. This is the translation you will need to piece it all together and to identify with other schools methodology. As Musashi himself said, "Flowers look nice but don't bear fruit". This translation is fruit you need to consume.

'Unique and unconventional, Robert H. Edwards' book provides a new perspective on mountaineering's greatest riddle. With fresh information, some controversial opinions, and plenty food for thought, it is bound to pour more fuel into the eternal flame that is the mystery of Mallory and Irvine. For this alone I highly recommend reading it!' - Jochen Hemmleb (Mountaineering writer and filmmaker, coinstigator and member of the 1999 expedition that found Mallory's body, and three more search expeditions to Mount Everest)'For a quarter of a century I've been held captive by the ghosts of Mallory & Irvine and their mysterious disappearance on Mount Everest in 1924. Finally, Bob Edwards has meticulously assembled all of the facts, the clues, and the countless possibilities surrounding their fate in a single, fascinating book.' - Thom Dharma Pollard (Member of the 1999 expedition that found Mallory's body)The last climb of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, towards the summit of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924, has been shrouded in mystery for a century. Were they the first humans to stand at the highest point in the world? The discovery of Mallory's body in 1999 did nothing to resolve the mystery. Until now, accounts of their climb have been driven by speculation and preconceived narrative.In this book, which marks the 100th anniversary of the fateful climb, Dr Robert Edwards brings the fresh and original perspective of a mathematician to the story of Mallory and Irvine.Dr Edwards has assembled the contemporary accounts of the early British expeditions, written by the climbers and their leaders, and has identified their anomalies and inconsistencies. He has studied the letters of George Mallory, and has held in his hand the diaries of Andrew Irvine. He has viewed, in person, some of the surviving artifacts: the ice axe found in 1933, and Mallory's boots, recovered in 1999. He has corresponded with modern mountaineers who have climbed Everest. Above all, he has applied mathematics and modern imaging and mapping technology to an analysis of what the 1924 climbers could, and could not, have seen and done.
