A highly enjoyable and stimulating mixed bag of short stories from the history of sport
Peace and war, or camaraderie and struggle, are keywords for a lot of sports – and for Matti Goksøyr’s long and impressive work as a researcher. He earned his doctorate at the NIH in 1991 and became professor of sports history eight years later. In December 2022 he turned 70, and how better to celebrate that than with a Festschrift. Christian Tolstrup Jensen enjoyed reading Fred og krig: Festskrift til Matti Goksøyr [Peace and war: Festschrift to Matti Goksøyr], edited by Gudmund Skjeldal & Allan Bennich Grønkjær.

Solid, brugbar og ambitiøs grundbog om sportsverdens mange dele og hvordan vi håndterer dem
Sport management-undervisningen i Skandinavien fick länge bedrivas med hjälp av främst amerikansk kurslitteratur, med amerikanskt fokus. På senare år har vi dessbättre sett en utgivning av läroböcker i ämnet på skandinaviska språk, och nu senast Sportsmanagement: Ledelse og kommercialisering i sportsbranchen av Kenneth Cortsen, Michael Hehr och Renate Nielsen (Hans Reitzels Forlag). Allan Bennich Grønkjær är i huvudsak positiv, ja smått entusiastisk i sin recension, men tipsar också om andra titlar.
