In 1859 the Finnish-Swedish aristocrat and naval officer, Hampus Furuhjelm arrived in Alaska as one of the Russian colony's last ambassadors. He brought with him his young wife Anna Furuhjelm, who wrote many long letters in English to her mother. These letters, for the first time, give us a vivid picture of everyday life in the colonial capital, Sitka, in the period shortly before the USA. took over Alaska. The letters have been edited and commented by Anna Furuhjelm's great-granddaughter, Anni Christensen.
During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable growth in the field of molecular biology. In 1950 very little was known of the chemical constitution of biological systems, the manner in which information was transmitted from one organism to another, or the extent to which the chemical basis of life is unified. The picture today is dramati cally different. We have an almost bewildering variety of information de tailing many different aspects of life at the molecular level. These great advances have brought with them some breath-taking insights into the molecular mechanisms used by nature for replicating, distributing, and modifying biological information. We have learned a ...
This volume contains contributions from the speakers at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "3D 5tructure and Dynamics of RNA", which was held in Renesse, The Netherlands, 21 - 24 August, 1985. Two major developments have determined the progress of nucleic acid research during the last decade. First, manipulation of genetic material by recombinant DNA methodology has enabled detailed studies of the function of nucleic acids in vivo. 5econd, the use of powerful physical methods, such as X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, in the study of biomacromolecules has provided information regarding the structure and the dynamics of nucleic acids. Both developments were en...
Pædagoger og andre omsorgsmedarbejdere i socialsektoren skriver meget – og ofte bliver det, de skriver, modtaget og læst med spændt forventning og til tider bekymring. Derfor er det vigtigt at kunne udtrykke sig korrekt og velformuleret på skrift. I ”Når pædagoger skriver – en håndbog i skriftlig kommunikation”, der udkom første gang i 1996, gennemgår Kirsten Rask teori og konkrete skriveregler inden for skriftlig kommunikation og giver en lang række eksempler på nogle af de tekster, der er en del af pædagogers hverdag – fx breve til forældre, handlingsplaner, jobansøgninger, rapporter m.m. Kirsten Rask (f. 1951) er cand.mag. i dansk med bifag i russisk. Hun har udgivet en lang række bøger om dansk sprog og grammatik og har i samarbejde med Teknologisk Institut udviklet Den Danske Korrekturlæseruddannelse. Kirsten Rask har modtaget flere priser og legater for sit arbejde.
