Everything written in this book is at my own expense as author. The book is the result of my deep respect for Norseman and the work that has shaped it into the event it is today. While working on the book, I have interviewed participants, volunteers, partners and members of the organization. In the end, it's my words and my perspective that are described. I have not received any financial support from any parties, nor do I have any financial interests in companies associated with the event.
