Isostatic Support
This paper is intended to promote insight into the statics and kinematics of rigid bodies such as these matters are encountered in Structural Mechanics. The emphasis is equally much on discussing and understanding the basic principles as on the formal statement of ready theorems. In the qualitative analysis simple Euclidean geometry is used to a large extent which should make the argumentation tangible. Results in two dimensions are in a logic way generalized to three dimensions to form hypotheses whose validity is later examined. The conclusions arrived at are elementary. Some observations are especially useful for understanding the behaviour of completely and incompletely supported rigid bodies in plane and space. The exposition is meant to be self-contained.
The Thousand and One Nights and Twentieth-Century Fiction
It is gradually being acknowledged that the Arabic story-collection Thousand and One Nights has had a major influence on European and world literature. This study analyses the influence of Thousand and One Nights, as an intertextual model, on 20th-century prose from all over the world. Works of approximately forty authors are examined: those who were crucial to the development of the main currents in 20th-century fiction, such as modernism, magical realism and post-modernism. The book contains six thematic sections divided into chapters discussing two or three authors/works, each from a narratological perspective and supplemented by references to the cultural and literary context. It is shown how Thousand and One Nights became deeply rooted in modern world literature especially in phases of renewal and experiment.
Global Shipping in Small Nations
This anthology aims to explain why some Nordic shipping companies became world leaders while others failed to respond effectively to the challenges and opportunities of globalization. The authors analyse political and institutional patterns alongside the various corporate responses to the many upheavals of global shipping.
Denmark and National Liberation in Southern Africa
The book describes and documents the development of Danish support to national liberation in Southern Africa, including Namibia, and the two-sided humanitarian and political character of this support. It is based on previously restricted Danish ministry records and on NGO archives and interviews. Key questions are how Danish support was established as a purely humanitarian facility that later developed into supporting the liberation movements, and how boycott was first considered to be an issue for the individual but eventually became national policy. The study seeks to describe why support and sanctions developed in the way and at the pace they did.
