Die Jägersprache gehört zum Weidwerk wie das Wild selbst. Vor allem für angehende Jägerinnen und Jäger stellt das umfangreiche Vokabular jedoch eine große Herausforderung dar.

Sie werden bald bemerken, wie Sie sich von Tag zu Tag mehr Vokabel einprägen und im täglichen Sprachgebrauch problemlos verwenden können. So lernen Sie die Jägersprache ganz leicht. Hören Sie die Beschreibung des gesuchten Begriffes aus der Weidmannssprache und nach einer kurzen Denkpause die Auflösung. *** Diese Produktion erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Sie enthält mehr als 750 der wichtigsten Begriffe aus dem Jägerleben, der Welt des Wildes und vielem mehr.

Tom Ballard

Forgiato nelle terre del grande nord, Tom Ballard diverrà in pochi anni una delle figure più importanti dell'alpinismo moderno, e allo stesso tempo poco conosciute. Figlio di Alison Hargreaves, Tom è timido, introverso e votato all'azione, ma con pochi eletti sa mostrarsi anche ottimo amico. Dalle terre scozzesi Tom approda in Val di Fassa, nel cuore delle Dolomiti, nel 2012. Vive in un campeggio, in estate e in inverno, scala le pareti dolomitiche da solo, tira dritto e parla con pochi, anche a causa del divario linguistico. Le sue sono imprese eccezionali, innumerevoli ascensioni solitarie su pareti ardite, sia in inverno sia in free solo, delle quali Tom non parla a nessuno, profondamente convinto di non volere intrusioni. Molti hanno conosciuto Tom Ballard solo l'indomani delle sei pareti Nord delle Alpi da lui salite in solitaria invernale nello stesso inverno, ma quello che ha fatto prima e dopo ha dell'incredibile, dirompente come la forza che emanava. E nonostante questo, Tom è scomparso nel gelo della notte dell'inverno himalayano, rannicchiato in una cengia dello Sperone Mummery al Nanga Parbat, ospite in un sogno non suo. Il suo viso da ragazzo non conoscerà mai la vecchiaia, perfettamente custodito dai ghiacci eterni. Il libro cerca di raccontare quello che ha guidato Tom nei suoi intensi anni di alpinismo, con uno sguardo verso le emozioni e al cuore che lo hanno portato a diventare uno dei più prolifici alpinisti del XXI secolo.

Der Tod macht eine Schlittenfahrt - Sofia und die Hirschgrund-Morde, Teil 18 (Ungekürzt)

Winterruhe auf dem Campingplatz? Nicht bei den Hirschgrundis: Sofias alter Gartenpavillon wurde nämlich demoliert - und bei den Aufräumarbeiten findet sie ein Skelett! Wer wurde damals im Fundament des Pavillons begraben? Und warum? War es Mord? Und hat Sofias Opa womöglich etwas damit zu tun? Das mag von den Hirschgrundis keiner so recht glauben. Aber bei ihren Nachforschungen gibt es diesmal ein Problem: Kommissar Jan van der Linden! Der sieht nicht nur aus wie der nächste James Bond, sondern ist auch fest entschlossen, den Fall ohne die Hilfe der Dauercamper zu lösen. Aber so schnell lassen sich Sofia und ihre Camper nicht aufs Abstellgleis verfrachten ... 'Der Tod macht eine Schlittenfahrt' ist der achtzehnte Teil der erfolgreichen Bayern-Krimi-Reihe 'Sofia und die Hirschgrund-Morde' von Susanne Hanika. Krimi trifft auf Humor, Nordlicht auf bayerische Dickschädel, Wieder-Single-Frau auf Jugendliebe und feschen Kommissar - dazu jede Menge Leichen, Mörder und Ganoven. Und all dies vor herrlich bayerischer Kulisse!

Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering's Most Controversial and Mysterious

In 1967, seven young men, members of a twelve-man expedition led by twenty-four-year-old Joe Wilcox, were stranded at 20,000 feet on Alaska's Mount McKinley in a vicious Arctic storm. Ten days passed while the storm raged, yet no rescue was mounted. All seven perished in what remains the most tragic expedition in American climbing history. Revisiting the event in the tradition of Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire, James M. Tabor uncovers elements of controversy, finger-pointing, and cover-up that make this disaster unlike any other.

In bici sulle Alpi

Ci sono diversi modi di approcciarsi alla bicicletta, ma quello che li unisce tutti è la passione per uno sport tanto faticoso quanto ricco di soddisfazioni. Il ciclismo è quella passione che accompagna Mattia Barlocco da sempre. Spettatore insieme al padre di ogni Milano-Sanremo, ogni Giro d'Italia, Campionato e Tour de France, a 8 anni ha iniziato a pedalare; da lì gli idoli in maglia rosa, il primo amore per una Daccordi Gialla, gli allenamenti e le gare. Eppure, quello per il ciclismo è un amore caratterizzato da alti e bassi, dovuti soprattutto ai non pochi infortuni. Ma nulla può contro una passione così forte. Nell'estate del 2019 Mattia decide di saltare in sella e affrontare le Alpi in una vera e propria Traversata Classica: da Trieste fino a Nizza, per terminare a Bormida, in Liguria, a casa. 35 passi alpini, più di 2000 km e 40.000 metri di dislivello in soli 13 giorni, un'esperienza che trova il giusto equilibrio per coinvolgere sia gli appassionati, dedicando loro dritte specifiche su come affrontare un viaggio su due ruote, sia chi sulla bicicletta non sale da anni. Un viaggio in solitaria che diventa un modo per confrontarsi con se stessi e far convivere la passione per lo sport e quella per la montagna, la frenesia del movimento costante con la pace che suscita la natura, nella dimostrazione che tutti hanno la possibilità e il diritto di prendersi del tempo tutto per sé, per provare a focalizzarsi su cosa realmente fa vibrare la loro essenza.

Mattia Barlocco (Author), Francesco Meola (Narrator)

Camping Grounds: Public Nature in American Life from the Civil War to the Occupy Movement

Camping appears to be a simple proposition, a time-honored way of getting away from it all. This book reveals that, for all its appeal, the simplicity of camping is deceptive, its history and meanings far from obvious. Why do some Americans find pleasure in sleeping outside, particularly when so many others, past and present, have had to do so for reasons other than recreation? Never only a vacation choice, camping has been something people do out of dire necessity and as a tactic of political protest. Yet the dominant interpretation of camping as a modern recreational ideal has obscured the connections to these other roles. Camping Grounds rediscovers unexpected and interwoven histories of sleeping outside. It uses extensive research to trace surprising links between veterans, tramps, John Muir, African American freedpeople, Indian communities, and early leisure campers in the nineteenth century; tin-can tourists, federal campground designers, Depression-era transients, family campers, backpacking enthusiasts, and political activists in the twentieth century; and the crisis of the unsheltered and the tent-based Occupy Movement in the twenty-first. These entwined stories show how Americans camp to claim a place in the American republic and why the outdoors is critical to how we relate to nature, the nation, and each other.
