Walking through the campus of Aarhus University, one is immediately struck by the harmoniousness of its buildings, not only individually but also in relation to each other and the undulating landscape in which they are set. It is therefore somewhat surprising to learn that the University's principal architect often attributed their appearance to an architecture of chance. Yet what C.F. M¿ller was referring to was how, during the construction of the first building in 1932 and 1933, donated materials dictated many of the choices that later achieved template status - so that for instance, copper roofs in the early plans were replaced by what are now signature roofs of yellow tile. Issued to mark the diamond jubilee of Denmark's second university, this volume features striking photos that follow the campus buildings through their seasonal course. The chapters, with English summaries, describe the changes in not only the design of successive structures, but also in the buildings' reception. Early on, a local newspaper called M¿ller the untalented architect who is being allowed to ruin the northern part of Aarhus, while the King advised him to study the example of Danish manors. But in time, M¿ller became Denmark's most prolific architect, and the University buildings were hailed internationally as masterworks of functionalism. This handsome volume helps show why.

Erik den Rødes efterkommere, de norrøne grøn­lændere, beboede det sydvestlige Grønland i et halvt årtusinde indtil midten af 1400-årene, hvor de sidste nordboere af endnu uopklarede grunde forsvandt. Den grønlandske jord har bevaret den unikke kulturarv efter nordboerne, og Woven into the Earth præsenterer et fuldstændigt katalog over de norrøne tekstilfund fra 28 lokaliteter udgravet af danske arkæologer igennem de sidste par hundrede år.

The two volumes of The Archaeology of Medieval Europe will together comprise the first complete account of medieval archaeology across Europe. Archaeologists from academic institutions in fifteen countries are collaborating to produce these two books of sixteen thematic chapters each. In addition, every chapter will feature a number of ´box-texts´, by specialist contributors, highlighting sites or themes of particular importance. The books will be comprehensively illustrated throughout, in both colour and b/w, including line drawings and specially commissioned maps. This ground-breaking set, which is divided chronologically into two (Vol. 1 extending from the Eighth to Twelfth Centuries AD, and Vol. 2 from the Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries - to appear 2008), will enable readers to track the development of different cultures, and of regional characteristics, throughout the full extent of medieval Catholic Europe. In addition to revealing shared contexts and technological developments, the complete work will also provide the opportunity for demonstrating the differences that inevitably present across the Continent - from Iceland to Italy, and from Portugal to Finland - and to study why such existed.

Science in Denmark takes the reader through a thousand years of political, social and cultural change in a Scandinavian country geographically reduced as national ambitions were rising. While the landmarks of Danish science are well-known with towering figures like Tycho Brahe, Nicolaus Steno, Ole Rømer, Hans Christian Ørsted and Niels Bohr, this up-to-date history of science in Denmark deals with much more. Science in Denmark: A Thousand-Years History is a remarkable testimony of how international trends influenced and were appropriated in a specific and welldefined national context. The authors present a fascination narrative of a complex history based on original research and rich in detail. This is the story of what science meant to Danes through the ages from early astronomical learning and the founding of the first university through the scientific revolution and gradual professionalization of scientific disciplines to an increasingly international and eventually global world of science.In 2007 the authors received the prestigious H.O. Lange Award for Outstanding Science Communication for Dansk Naturvidenskabs Historie - four volumes published in Danish on the history of science in Denmark.

This anthology aims to demonstrate that the early Danish pioneers saw little distinction between the study of classical antiquity, the middle ages, prehistory, ethnography and human evolution, nor between humanities and natural sciences.

Lenin once said "Trust is good, but control is better," but because the presence of social trust lowers transaction costs in everyday life, perhaps we should instead say "Control is good, but trust is cheaper".
