The Shoestring Letters - A Tribute to the Immigrant
"Retrieved from under a thatched roof in Denmark, long-forgotten letters inspire this illustrated account of the Danish-American immigrant community's history, heritage and grit. One letter, written on board [of] the ship bringing a young family to America in 1928, tells what the voyage was really like. Other letters give firsthand accounts of life in Denmark and America. Letters from the Great Depression lament hopes dashed by broken economics on both sides of the Atlantic. Trials and triumphs of World War II are recalled, including Denmark's finest hour in 1943. Over here, immigrants sent their sons and daughters to war while joining hands to relieve post-war suffering over there. After fulling embracing the American way of life, one immigrant offers a touching tribute to all who ventured to America from their homeland. This book concludes with his rendition, in verse, of Hans Christian Anderson's Tin Soldier fairy tale, and four Scandinavian songs of faith."--Page 4 of cover.
From Physics to Daily Life
Beatrice Bressan brings together a number of outstanding examples of successful cross-disciplinary technology transfer originating in fundamental physics research, which dramatically impacted scientific progress in areas which changed modern society. Many of them were developed at CERN, a hotbed of fundamental inventions in particle physics. This book deals with breakthrough developments being applied in the world of IT, consumer electronics, aviation, and material sciences. Additional sections of the book deal with knowledge management and technology transfer including their economic aspects. While each chapter has been drafted by an expert in the field, the editor has carefully edited the whole to ensure a coherent overall structure. A must-have for policy makers, technology companies, investors, strategic planners in research and technology, as well as attractive reading for the research community.
Guide To Mathematical Methods For Physicists, A: Advanced Topics And Applications
This book provides a self-contained and rigorous presentation of the main mathematical tools needed to approach many courses at the last year of undergraduate in Physics and MSc programs, from Electromagnetism to Quantum Mechanics. It complements A Guide to Mathematical Methods for Physicists with advanced topics and physical applications. The different arguments are organised in three main sections: Complex Analysis, Differential Equations and Hilbert Spaces, covering most of the standard mathematical method tools in modern physics.One of the purposes of the book is to show how seemingly different mathematical tools like, for instance, Fourier transforms, eigenvalue problems, special functions and so on, are all deeply interconnected. It contains a large number of examples, problems and detailed solutions, emphasising the main purpose of relating concrete physical examples with more formal mathematical aspects.
A New Life
"In letters to their homeland, Danes who emigrated to North America from 1842 to 1946 here give vivid, personal impressions of how they began life anew, far from the familiar surroundings of home. Passages selected by the authors from among more than a thousand emigrant letters provide a unique glimpse of life on the American prairie as well as on Chicago's notorious South Side. The narratives are presented in a series of themes, ranging from the crossing of the Atlantic to an inside look at the United States. Although few regretted the decision to emigrate, nearly all suffered pangs of homesickness, and many attempted to imbue their children with a sense of "Danishness." These Danes of the past come alive as they describe both successes and failures in their own words. It is the hope of the Danes Worldwide Archives that "A New Life" will help to strengthen the historical identity of Danish-Americans"--Back cover.
Studying Distant Galaxies: A Handbook Of Methods And Analyses
Distant galaxies encapsulate the various stages of galaxy evolution and formation from over 95% of the development of the universe. As early as twenty-five years ago, little was known about them, however since the first systematic survey was completed in the 1990s, increasing amounts of resources have been devoted to their discovery and research. This book summarises for the first time the numerous techniques used for observing, analysing, and understanding the evolution and formation of these distant galaxies.In this rapidly expanding research field, this text is an every-day companion handbook for graduate students and active researchers. It provides guidelines in sample selection, imaging...
Douglas County, Nebraska Marriages, 1854-1881
Windsor, Connecticut was one of the three towns that united to form the Colony of Connecticut in the 17th century. A great deal of data concerning Windsor's early inhabitants can be garnered from this work, which is based on records in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society. By far the largest source transcribed for this publication is the Matthew Grant, or "Old Church," Record, 1639-1681. Comprising the first half of the volume, the Matthew Grant Record consists of several thousand births, marriages, and deaths for Windsor families throughout much of the 17th century. Though not an "official record" of the town, it nonetheless is one of the most important sources of Windsor "v...

Idealister
Scherfigs klassiske kriminalroman, hvor der langes ud efter overtro og mysticisme. Med sin brede personkreds og vekslende handlingscentre giver den et bidsk og satirisk billede af datidens Danmark. Frederik Schyberg, dansk forfatter og litteratur- og teaterkritiker skriver om Idealister: "Scherfig, der mellem sine mange kunstneriske muligheder også havde den mulighed at være blevet en dreven kriminalforfatter, opererer her som i sine tidligere bøger virtuost med spændingsmoment. Opklaringen op mordet kommer på én gang som en dundrende overraskelse og som en uangribelig logisk forklaring på bogens allersidste blade."
Tråde til Tåsinge
Bind 4 i serien "Families Historier" er anden del af historien om min mormor Inger Rasmussen gift Christensen og hendes aner, som der er stor viden om, og som går meget langt tilbage i tiden. Det er en fortsættelse af bind 3 med titlen"Slægten i Vindeby". Dette bind har fokus på hendes mormor mors aner. Inger mor, Marie Christine Rasmussen født Madsen var datter af Carl Christian Madsen, hvis familie stammede fra Langeland, og som også er omtalt bind 3, og Christiana Maren Sofie Madsen født Andersen, hvis aner på den mødrende side altså fylder hele fjerde bind. Ina, som hun blev kaldt, havde en meget stor kendt forslægt. Både hendes far, Poul Andersen og mormor Ane Sofie Rasmusda...
