In Brazil a vote has passed to impeach the president, Dilma Rousseff. This is not the only difficulty that the country faces. We outline the other problems, as the countdown begins for the start of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Elsewhere, the Indian government has withdrawn its claim to the Koh-i-Noor, the first plastic-eating bacteria are found, beavers can now be seen in Stockholm's waterways and, in the name of science, some researches have been shaving ants.
Features tours of major sights such as the Royal Palace, Kungliga Slottet, the Vasamuseet, several museums, and the fabulous, luxury food market, Ostermalmshallen, for reindeer and smoked fish. Detailed neighborhood walks cover the oldest part of Stockholm, the green spaces of Djurgarden, and the ultra trendy, formerly working class area of Sodermalm and Langholmen.

Packed with photographs, illustrations and maps of Stockholm the guide includes in-depth coverage of Stockholm's best attractions from the city's old town, Gamla Stan, to the elegant palaces at Blasieholmen, unearthing the best of the city's stunning architecture, phenomenal museums, majestic palaces and tranquil gardens in between.
Most of the chapters that make up this book are based on papers presented at the workshop ‘Transnational Flows: Methodological and epistemological issues’, Oslo, 6–7 June 2001. The workshop was organised by the research project Transnational Flows of Substances and Concepts, which is directed by Marianne E. Lien and supported financially by the Norwegian Research Council in the period 2001–04.
Chapter 2 is adapted from the introduction to a book edited by Ulf Hannerz. Published only in Swedish (and entitled Flera f?lt i ett) the book showcases the breadth and scope of current transnational multisited research at the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University. The references to Hannerz’s Stockholm colleagues generally refer to chapters in the book, and offer an insight into some of the accomplishments made, and some of the methodological problems encountered, in this pioneering research environment.
