The History of Linguistics in the Nordic CountriesThe History of Linguistics in the Nordic Countries

By treating the Nordic countries separately one loses the
comparative perspective that is essential for understanding some basic aspects of the history of linguistics in each country and in general. The Nordic countries constitute an ideal area for comparative studies. They are not only geographically connected, they also have a relatively similar population size, many similarities in their historical development, and similar social and political systems, including the structure of academic life and academic institutions.

Origami QuiltsOrigami Quilts

Not about quilts in the classic sense this book is about making "quilts" or geometric quilt-like decorative patterns similar to tile mosaics, using origami (Japanese paperfolding) techniques. Tomoko Fuse is the reigning master of modular origami designs, in which multiple sheets of paper are folded into identical or similar shapes. These are then linked into larger objects, often three dimensional, but in this case, 2 dimensional mosaics. Some modular origami experience is recommended, plus a large supply of origami paper! But the results are spectacular! A must-have for any modular origami fan.
