Nobel Prize-winner Gunnar Myrdal is best known for his book An American Dilema, a classic study of America’s racial problems that was chosen as one of The Modern Library’s top 100 nonfiction books of the 20th century. This book covers the full range of Myrdals’ writings, much of which has never been published in book form. It includes his early essays on economics, his thoughts on the population explosion, his discussions of the question of value in the social sciences, and excerpts from Asian Drama, his monumental study of the development of Asia. An introduction by Sissela Bok, who is Myrdal’s daughter and also acclaimed author of Lying and Secrets.

Andersen, the world famous Danish writer of stories and fairy tales for children and adults, loved to travel. And travel he did often, both within Denmark and to many European countries. In 1841, 36 years old and on his way to becoming a famous writer, he traveled to Greece and Turkey. In those days with trains in their infancy and before the invention of the automobile and airplane, he traveled by coach, by ship, on foot, and on horseback. Andersen, a man with a keen eye for both the sublime and the mundane, notes in his diary kings nad consuls as well as shopkeepers and shepherd, revealing the fine talents of observation and description of human nature that have earned him universal fame and affection.

The eighteen months at the dawn of the seventeenth century when these two men (Kepler and Brahe) worked and lived together in Prague would mark the transition from medieval to modern science, but theirs was one of the most emotionally fraught and contentious collaborations in scientific history. Indeed, apart from their genius and love of astronomy, the two could hardly be more different. For four hundred years it was believed that Brahe died of natural causes. In fact, recent forensic analysis of remnants of his hair reveal that he was murdered, systematically poisoned. And all the answers as to motive, means, and opportunity point directly to one suspect: Johannes Kepler.

For fourteen thousand years, people have hunted, grown food, built, struggled and loved in what is today called - Sweden. The way this once so barren area at the edge of northern Europe’s ice cover became one of the richest and most developed countries in the world, is told in this book. The author writes the history of this country, where war has often been the normal state of affairs, where peace has been the exception, and of its people who have survived all difficulties, who have never ceased to dream and who today are involved in planning the future of Europe. Easy to follow and captivating, Lindqvist gives us political history in a light, narrative form.

One of the defining moments of the 20th century came on the night of May 21, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh landed his silver monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris. Flying alone, he had made a nonstop flight from New York across the storm-tossed North Atlantic - then considered an insurmountable barrier separating North America from Europe. Magnificently illustrated, this admirably brief biography tells Lindbergh’s story with rare sensitivity to the most important context in which he needs to be understood - that of aviation - and leaves the reader with a clear view of the magnitude of his achievements in any way overlooking his all-too-human failings.

Sweden is a small Nordic nation that, in the space of a century, has transformed itself from a poor, underdeveloped agrarian country into one of the world’s most modern and sophisticated welfare states and industrial nations: truly a feat worthy of taking pride in. Indeed, they are proficient, hard working, conscientious and well-groomed - and to an outsider, the Swedes at first glance may appear to be a somewhat shy, withdrawn, anonymous people. But don’t let yourself be fooled by this surface. Beneath it lurks madness, sensuality, sentimentality and a well-disguised national pride and self-confidence. This color illustrated booklet gives you insight into the Swedish culture.
