Forlagets beskrivelse: Dette er 7. udgave af FOREBYGGENDE SUNDHEDSARBEJDE, der for længst har skrevet sig ind som en klassiker inden for områderne forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme. Bogen har over en periode på 35 år fået status af et alment accepteret opslagsværk og er en foretrukken grundbog på en række professionsbacheloruddannelser samt på kandidatuddannelser som medicin, folkesundhedsvidenskab og sociologi. Siden den første udgave udkom i 1986, har værket behandlet centrale områder inden for forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme og har for hver ny udgave afspejlet den aktuelle udvikling inden for området og i samfundet som helhed. Forebyggelse og sundhedsfremme har i de senere år fået en stadig mere central rolle i sundhedsvæsenet. I dag er inddragelse af brugeren og dennes aktive rolle blevet endnu mere afgørende, ligesom klimalovgivning og de seneste ændringer i sundhedslovgivningen er nye vigtige tiltag. Derfor er der i denne udgave mere fokus på brugerinvolvering, udvikling af kompetencer og handlekraft, men også på individets egne værdier og præferencer. Mere generelt afspejler 7. udgave den nyeste udvikling i teori og praksis på tværs af sundhedsvæsenet, og der er gennemført et grundigt redaktionsarbejde for at forny bogen. Den praktiske virkelighed, hvor det forebyggende sundhedsarbejde udføres, udgør en rød tråd i samtlige udgaver af FOREBYGGENDE SUNDHEDSARBEJDE. Bogen rummer også en række teoretiske og metodiske kapitler, som giver læseren en solid forståelse af baggrunden for det praktiske arbejde. Denne kombination af teori og praksis gør bogen særdeles velegnet som lærebog for en bred målgruppe.

Forlagets beskrivelse: ”Creating and Managing a Sustainable Sporting Future” contributes to a critical understanding of the challenges key stakeholders across the globe encounter as they seek to manage periods of transition brought about by policy change relating to the provision of sport and physical activity. The book uncovers the global challenges in terms of managing the re-orientation of stakeholder activities and organisational strategies, in response to the aspirations for a wider range of outcomes through sport-based interventions and establishment of partnerships with non-sport sectors. It illuminates the increasingly erratic trajectory of sport development service providers, as the environment within which sport organisations operate changes – through for example, climate change, demographic shifts, changing features of local economies and alterations to the structures of local government and governance – and the responses of sport organisations to these new realities differ greatly depending on location, institutional structures and leadership. The chapters highlight the changing social, economic, environmental and policy contexts within which sports organisations operate, and explain the subsequent need for new approaches to partnership working, physical activity re-scoping and integrated education programming. Showing that the international mandate of creating active lifestyles and subsequent re-orientation of stakeholders towards physical activity cannot only contribute to re-defining sport but also in identifying novel ways for building and managing a sustainable sporting future, ”Creating and Managing a Sustainable Sporting Future” is ideal for Sports scholars, and particularly those working on Sport Policy and Sustainable sport development. This book was originally published as a special issue of Managing Sport and Leisure.
