The World of Ladoga
This book is one of the first to focus on Medieval and Early Modern state formation on the north-eastern periphery of Europe. Researchers have traditionally perceived an East-West conflict between Sweden and Novgorod concerning the late medieval colonization of the northern forest areas, but it seems that the East Fennoscandian boreal forest zone was not an unpopulated area at that time, but was a landscape inhabited by heterogeneous hunting and fishing populations and possessing another kind of culture. The ways of life of these populations can be observed by coordinating various bodies of palaeoecological, palaeobotanic, genetic, meteorological, folkloristic, philological and archaeologica...
The Challenges of Modernity for Reindeer Management
"'The Challenges of Modernity For Reindeer Management' (RENMAN) was a 36-month research and development project funded under the EU's 5th Framework Programme from February 2001 to January 2004. More than 35 scientists and students in the natural, physical and social sciences participated, coming from nine partner institutes in five countries, in addition to the active participation of many reindeer herders in northern Sweden, Norway, Finland and northwest Russia (Murmansk region). This report summarizes the findings from the 10 workpackages that encompassed the main research tasks. The main goals have been to develop a participatory model of research that involves herders directly in the research process and values their knowledge alongside that of traditional scientists working in the field and in the laboratory. In this way the project has developed scenarios and management proposals concerning the future of reindeer management in northernmost Europe"--Page 4 of cover

Työttömän kuolema
MITEN SAADA TYÖTTÖMYYS TUOTTAMAAN? Työttömyys liittyy globalisaatioon ja vapaaseen hintakilpailuun, mutta arvoja luodaan myös palkatun työn ja yritysten ulkopuolella. Niinpä työttömiä ei pitäisi lannistaa vaan kannustaa omatoimisuuteen, esimerkiksi opiskeluun ja henkisten arvojen tuotantoon. Perustulojärjestelmän lisäksi kirjassa pohditaan, miten pärjätä työn ja opiskelun käänteissä. Kirjoittajan mukaan työnantajien ja -tekijöiden edut voivat toteutua vain kansallisen edun tunnustamisen kautta. ”Työttömän kuolema” on kirja poliitikkojen ja yrityskonsulttien ilosanomaan kyllästyneille. Sen lähtökohtana on työelämän filosofinen arvoanalyysi ja lopputuloksena ihmisten onnellisuuteen tähtäävän järjen etsintäkuulutus. ”Työttömän kuolema on filosofiseksi opukseksi selkeästi, sujuvasti ja provosoivastikin kirjoitettu, ja sitä voi suositella niin työntekijöille kuin työnantajillekin.” Pekka Wahlstedt, Helsingin Sanomat 5.6.2005 Filosofian tohtori Jukka Hankamäen suositusta teoksesta on nyt saatavilla kolmas, ajantasaistettu painos.
Saari meren rannalla
Rikoksia ja rakkautta pienellä trooppisella saarella keskellä valtamerta. Keskeisiä henkilöitä ovat taidemaalari Viktor, joka ammutaan, rantatyttö Kristiina, kertojan asuinkumppani, ilotyttö Cecilia, johon kertoja rakastuu, baarimikko Francis, joka oppii kiroilemaan suomeksi ennen kuolemaansa ja kyyninen lehtimies Philip Jordan. Heidän lisäkseen saarelle on eksynyt viisihenkinen suomalaisyhteisö, jota kertoja tarkkailee ja jonka toimiin hän joutuu myös sattumalta osallistumaan. Kertoja muistelee saarella viettämäänsä lumottua kesää, jonka oudot tapahtumat ja omituiset ihmiset hän yrittää muistellessaan panna järjestykseen. Saari meren rannalla on jännittävä rikostarina ja samalla taidokas ihmissuhderomaani, jossa paratiisisaaren riehakas nauru muuttuu itkuksi ja taikavuori tuonelaksi.
