The Danish Resources c. 1000-1550
This pioneering work presents the first comprehensive economic history of medieval Denmark. It puts data produced by more than a century of historical research into a new context and includes a multitude of information based on primary research. The book abounds in knowledge of natural and human resources, rural life, urban industries, tax and commodity trade. Arguing that the development of the Danish resources from the eleventh to the middle of the fourteenth century cannot be viewed simply as a period of prosperity, and conversely that the Late Middle Ages were characterized as much by growth as by recession, the book places itself in an international historiographical controversy. The Danish Resources will become an indispensable standard work for students of Danish and north European medieval history.

Settlement and Landscape
Derived from a conference held in Aarhus, Denmark in 1998, these essays discuss a wide range of archaeological issues centered around the study of the landscape and its relationship to human settlement. Information from unpublished research and fieldwork in Denmark is drawn together and set within a broader Scandinavian and European context. The various papers therefore discuss evidence from Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Sweden, and are divided into sections on: Landscape and settlement transformations; problem of nucleation and dispersal; Settlement and non-agrarian production; Human-animal relationship; landscape seen as a social and mental construct; landscapes of power; Methods of study. A vast amount of information at a very reasonable price.
Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume I
This book, first in a series of three, examines the social elites in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, and which social, political, and cultural resources went into their creation. The elite controlled enormous economic resources and exercised power over people. Power over agrarian production was essential to the elites during this period, although mobile capital was becoming increasingly important. The book focuses on the material resources of the elites, through questions such as: Which types of resources were at play? How did the elites acquire and exchange resources?
