The history of the earliest Christianity has only been made the object of a coherent account a few times.

There are also numerous accounts of the ancient history of Judaism and of Greek and Roman history. But there are surprisin...

This volume presents a collection of nine essays on Lutheran traditions and the arts within the 500 years since the Reformation, a...

A ten year study began in 1972 in West Greenland to investigate the breeding biology of the peregrine falcon. Data on nesting gyrfalcons were also collected.

Peregrines were found nesting predominantly on high, south-facing cliffs, which overlooked large areas. The mean minim...

In this special issue we present fresh research on localized practices of resistance by protest groups, solidarity initiatives, and cultural projects, which have arisen in the wake of the 2008 crisis. Based on ethnological fieldwork, the...

Fokus er rettet mod sammenligning og integration af dansk og europæisk historie. De...

Frank analyses five of Rushdie's novels, Grimes, Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses and The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Claiming an intellectual kinship between Rushdie and the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in regard to world-view, aesthetics and human identity, the author's analytical starting point is Deleuze's concepts of rhizome, simulacrum and lines of flight which are used as guiding principles in his comprehensive examinati...

The rescue of the Danish Jews in 1943 is well-known all over the world. What is less known is the history of Jewish immigration to Denmark, which stretches back more than four hundred years. A Story of Immigration chronicles this important history and sheds light on the generally successful, but also at times difficult and challenging, integration of Danish Jews into Danish society. The contributors discuss the challenges and skepticism that D...

The village of Reykholt in Borgarfjörðr, Iceland, is probably best known for its thirteenth-century occupant, Snorri Sturluson--historian, scholar, and much-acclaimed author of the Heimskringla and Edda sagas.

The essays in this volume cast new light on Snorri, the place in which he chose to liv...
