"Hej! Vi hedder Marcus og Martinus Gunnarsen. Vi bor i det nordlige Norge sammen med vores to søstre og vores mor og far. Vi er fjorten år gamle og går i niende klasse, spiller fodbold og kan godt lide at høre musik og være sammen med vores venner. I hverdagene skal vi gå i seng klokken ti, så vi er bare to helt almindelige drenge.Men så er der alligevel noget, der ikke er helt almindeligt. Det kan du læse om her. Det her er vores historie frem til nu."Marcus & Martinus havde et magisk år i Norge sidste år. Magien er fortsat i år med turné, udsolgte koncerter og gennembrud i både Sverige og Danmark – og fanskaren vokser hver dag. I denne bog følger vi drengene på hele deres rejse, fra de var et par helt små sangglade gutter, over deres deltagelse og sejr i den norske udgave af MGP og frem til den enorme succes, de har i dag. Fremtiden ser lys ud for Marcus & Martinus. Til foråret spiller de en række udsolgte koncerter, og til januar er der i hele Norden biografpremiere på en dokumentarfilm om dem. Dette er drengenes egen fortælling – og bogen er smækfyldt med private billeder og koncertoptagelser. Kom med back stage og få helt unikke facts fra drengenes liv …

How is comedy relevant to the global crises of late modernity and the theological critiques that respond to them? For an earlier generation of theologians, whose experiences were shaped by war, tragedy was the literary paradigm for ethical and theological understanding. By contrast, this work draws upon recent philosophical, anthropological, and psychoanalytic studies of humor to develop a theology of comedy. By deconstructing secular accounts of comedy, Marcus Pound argues that comedy is a participation in the divine. As such, it should inform our thinking about liturgical, sacramental, and ecclesial life, especially if theology is to respond to postmodern capitalism's ideological imperative to "have fun." --

There has been an explosion of attention on China s interests and activities in Africa and on the wide spectrum of Chinese actors involved in countries across the continent, yet the terms and implications of the China Angola partnership remain unclear. This book focuses on the increased cooperation between Angola and China; explores how relations with China have bolstered regime stability and boosted the international standing of the Angolan government; and investigates the extent to which collaboration serves their separate interests in the immediate and the longer term. It offers a rich look at the relations between the countries: examining some of the labor, infrastructure, and policy issues arising from Chinese involvement. From the perspectives of Angola s oil, construction, retail, and wholesale sectors, this discussion shows the need for better local control to tackle the shortcomings and foster the benefits of cultural, economic, and professional interchange."
