| Title: Across the North Sea |
| Sub-title: Later Historical Archaeology in Britain & Denmark, c. 1500-2000 AD |
| Edited by: Henrik Harnow, David Cranstone, Paul Bedford, Lene Høst-Madsen |
| ISBN10-13: 8776746585 : 9788776746582 |
| What is historical archaeology? What are the challenges facing archaeologists looking at the remains of the last 500 years? What are the issues for archaeology itself in today's rapidly-changing economic and political circumstances? How can we develop a uniquely European historical archaeology? The result of a conference in 2009, Across the North Sea contains 24 papers from 28 leading archaeologists, historians, curators and heritage managers from Britain and Denmark, and explores a wide range of issues - including the development of the discipline and current practice in both countries, together with a range of case studies, and discussion of future directions. This fascinating book provides an essential guide for anyone wanting to understand the evolving discipline of historical archaeology in Britain, Denmark and the North Sea region. |

| Title: American Century |
| Sub-title: A Chronology & Orientation (1900-2007) |
| By (author): David E Nye, Thomas Johansen |
| ISBN10-13: 8776742504 : 9788776742508 |
| Because of its rapid growth, ubiquitous popular culture, and global power, almost everyone knows many things about the United States. But often these many facts float about rather freely. For those who need a chronology and orientation mixed with scholarly insight, this is the book you need. For research, for studying, for trivia. And for putting the right events in the right order. The book is a timeline: it organises the political, social, literary, and cultural events of each year of the twentieth century, plus the beginning of the 21st century, with very short essays suggesting how these many events fit into larger patterns. |

| Title: American Foundations & the European Welfare States |
| Edited by: Klaus Petersen, John Stewart, Michael Kuur Sorensen |
| ISBN10-13: 8776746100 : 9788776746100 |
| In public debate and academic writings the American and European welfare states are often portrayed as inhabiting completely different welfare regimes. However, if we take a closer look at the historical development of the European welfare state we find that American philanthropic bodies such as the Rockefeller Foundation had a significant influence on the development in key areas of the European welfare states such as health care, social work, education and the disciplines of social science. The contributions in this book explore the influence of American foundations from the inter-war period to the 1950s in Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, Spain and Sweden. The book offers new insights into the transnational history of European welfare states as well as the complicated process often labelled as Americanisation. |

| Title: Ammonia Volatilisation from Livestock Slurries & Mineral Fertilisers |
| By (author): Sven G Sommer |
| ISBN10-13: 8776747123 : 9788776747121 |
| Ammonia emissions from farming are causing environmental problems on local and regional scale in Europe and elsewhere. These emissions also reduce the efficiency of manure as a fertiliser in crop production. This thesis presents a body of research and development on technologies to reduce ammonia emissions from stored animal slurry, field-applied slurry and mineral fertilisers. The processes involved in the release of ammonia from slurry, transport of ammonium and pH changes in surface layers of stored slurry and slurry and fertilisers applied to the surface of bare soils are described. Techniques and management practices that reduce ammonia emission are presented and evaluated. With continued research, we will better understand the relationships between ammonia emissions and the most important underlying processes. This information can be used to develop technologies, models and decision support for better management of animal manure, leading to a minimal negative impact on the environment and a strong positive impact on plant production. The thesis makes a contribution to research using basic science to develop applied technological solutions. It also proposes areas for future research that can enable efficient use of manure and reduce environmental pollution. |

| Title: Archaeology of Medieval Towns in the Baltic & North Sea Area |
| Edited by: Niels Engberg, Anne Nørgaard Jørgensen, Jakob Kieffer-Olsen, Per Kristian Madsen, Christian Radtke |
| ISBN10-13: 8776021319 : 9788776021313 |
| Six articles deal with aspects of changes in the Medieval town, interactions in the physical and social development of the town, including infrastructure, structural changes and continuity/discontinuity. Four articles concern town functions both on a local, regional and international level. Focus is on social structures, the role of the aristocracy and the interpretation of the town and its functions are introduced. In several articles traditional research approaches are questioned and new methodological approaches are suggested. Even the concept of urbanisation is questioned. |

| Title: Arnas Magnæus Philologus (1663-1730) |
| By (author): Már Jónsson |
| ISBN10-13: 8776746461 : 9788776746469 |
| The Icelandic scholar and antiquarian à rni Magnússon (1663-1730) - Arnas Magnæus in Latinised form - spent much of his life building up what is by common consent the single most important collection of early Scandinavian manuscripts in existence. The collection, now divided between Copenhagen and ReykjavÃk, comprises nearly 3000 items, the earliest dating from the 12th century. The majority of these are from à rni's native Iceland, but there are also many important Norwegian, Danish and Swedish manuscripts, along with a small number of continental European provenance. In his new biography, Már Jónsson, professor of history at the University of Iceland, explores in particular how à rni Magnússon's great passion for parchment developed, and places it in the intellectual context of à rni's own time. Based largely on à rni's correspondence and notes on the manuscripts in his collection - many previously unknown to scholars - Arnas Magnæus Philologus offers a rare insight into this complex and intriguing man who did more than anyone else to ensure the survival of Old Norse Icelandic literature. |

| Title: Between Positivism & T S Eliot |
| Sub-title: Imagism & T E Hulme |
| By (author): Flemming Olsen |
| ISBN10-13: 8776742830 : 9788776742836 |
| Several critics have been intrigued by the gap between late Victorian poetry and the more "modern" poetry of the 1920s. This book attempts to get to grips with the watershed by analysing one school of poetry and criticism written in the first decade of the 20th century until the end of the First World War. To many readers and critics, T.E. Hulme and the Imagists represent little more than a footnote. But they are more than mere stepping-stones in the transition. Besides being experimenting poets, most of them are acute critics of art and literature, and they made the poetic picture the focus of their attention. They are opposed not only to the monopoly of science, which claimed to be able to decide what truth and reality "really" are, but also to the predictability and insipidity of much of the poetry of the late Tennyson and his successors. Behind the discussions and experiments lay the great question What Is Reality? What are its characteristics? How can we describe it? Can we ever get to an understanding of it? Hulme and the Imagists deserve to be taken seriously because of their untiring efforts, and because they contributed to bringing about the reorientation that took place within the poetical and critical traditions. |

| Title: Beyond the Crisis in US American Studies |
| Edited by: David E Nye |
| ISBN10-13: 8776742520 : 9788776742522 |
| This volume celebrates the 40th anniversary of the journal "American Studies in Scandinavia", which began publication in 1967. This book is an invitation to develop a dialogue across the Atlantic. For too long European scholars have watched Americanists in the United States as though looking through a one-way window, invisible to those arguing on the other side of the glass. For too long US Americanists have scarcely realised that what appeared a mirror could be a window. |

| Title: Bookish Riddarasögur |
| Sub-title: Writing Romance in Late Mediaeval Iceland |
| By (author): Emerita Geraldine Barnes |
| ISBN10-13: 8776747913 : 9788776747916 |
| This book deals with a fascinating but until recently largely neglected area of late medieval Icelandic literature: the indigenous prose romances, generally known as riddarasögur (lit. sagas of knights), a group of some 30 sagas composed in Iceland from the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century onwards which take place in an exotic (non-Scandinavian), vaguely chivalric milieu and are characterized by the extensive use of foreign motifs and a strong supernatural or fabulous element. The author, Geraldine Barnes, former Professor of English Language and Early English Literature at the University of Sydney, has written extensively on the riddarasögur throughout her long career. This book represents the culmination of her work in this area and presents an interesting take' on the riddarasögur, focusing on their learned or bookish' elements. Although the riddarasögur are clearly modelled on Continental chivalric romances and influenced by the translated' riddarasögur in terms of subject matter, style and ethos, that debt tends to be limited largely to the surface attributes of romance typically, princes on quests in exotic foreign lands which ultimately bring material rewards, noble brides and the acquisition of new kingdoms. Contrary to European chivalric romance, however, the Icelandic riddarasögur manifest a substantial debt to medieval encyclopedic and historiographical traditions. One effect of this is to bring an element of biculturalism' to the textual landscapes of the riddarasögur which suggests that their authors, and, by implication, their audiences, were familiar with both learned tradition and traditional lore and accustomed to moving back and forth between them in creative literary composition. |

| Title: Chaucer in Denmark |
| Sub-title: A Study of the Translation & Recepion History 1782-2012 |
| By (author): Ebbe Klitgard |
| ISBN10-13: 8776747050 : 9788776747053 |
| This study is an investigation of a subject never explored before: the translations and the reception in Denmark of the most important English poet from the Middle Ages Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?-1400) from the first appearance in 1782 of a transformation of one of his Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath's Tale, to the present day. Ebbe Klitgård analyses the story of Chaucer in Denmark also as an exemplary study of the history of English education, culture, language and literature in Denmark. Klitgård demonstrates that the cultural transmission of Chaucer is historically bound by the changing cultural ties between the English speaking world and Denmark. In this way the story of Chaucer in Denmark becomes an illustrative and very complicated story of cultural change. |
