This is Finland
A look at the history, culture, land, and people of Finland.
Visual History
Addressing questions about representation, this book critically explores the potential of different types of visual material to illuminate historical studies. The contributions in this collection range from explorations of picture schemes used in 19th century classrooms to contemporary popular representations of schooling. Film and photographic images are considered in specific contexts, presenting case studies along with theoretical reflections about methods, values and the very nature of historical studies. Images are examined in children's literature, in the induction of history of education students, in the recreation of past practices and in the promotion of government policies. Visions of education are put alongside discussion of 'the visual turn', its value to historians, its relations with questions about the construction of knowledge and the archive. A range of positions on the visual are represented in the collection. Without presenting an orthodoxy the book aims to promote new awarenesses of this important aspect of education history and the issues it raises.

Bilderbuchanalyse
Bilderbücher spielen nicht nur für die frühkindliche Bildung und Medienerziehung eine zentrale Rolle. In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich komplexe Formen der Interdependenzen von Bild und Text sowie eine lebhafte Rezeption der Bildenden Kunst bzw. medialen Kultur entwickelt. Dieser Band führt umfassend in das Bilderbuch als Buchgattung ein. Dabei steht die narratoästhetische Analyse in Bild und Text im Zentrum, die anhand zahlreicher Beispiele erläutert wird. Exemplarisch angewandt wird der Ansatz durch Beispielanalysen von ausgewiesenen Experten, die Bilderbücher und Apps, etwa Shaun Tans „Die Regeln des Sommers“, untersuchen. Kapitel zur Didaktik des Bilderbuchs sowie ein Glossar zu wichtigen Begriffen und zur Fachterminologie runden den Band ab.
Finns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula
"On Midsummer Eve, 1865, more than 30 Finnish and Sami immigrants disembarked from a Great Lakes ship to a place called Hancock, Michigan. At the time, Hancock consisted of nothing more than a small cluster of humble buildings, but it was here, on the outskirts of mid-19th-century civilization, that Finnish settlement in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP) took root. Much to the surprise of these new Americans, Midsummer was not a religious holiday marked by feasts in celebration of the season's prolonged sunlight. Rather, the newcomers were immediately hastened into the bowels of the earth to extract copper in pursuit of the American Dream. In short order, hardworking Finnish immigrants became reputable miners, lumberjacks, farmers, maids, and commercial fishermen. A century and a half later, the UP boasts the largest Finnish population outside of the motherland and sustains the determined spirit the Finns call sisu--an influence that remains palpable in all 15 UP counties."--
