Erieta Attali is a rising architectural photographer whose experience hitherto has been generally addressed to archaeology and landscape rather than to architecture; with the former arising directly out of professional commissions and the latter stemming from a personal preoccupation with the topographic, which remains her concern even though her recent photographs do not address landscape as such. In one way or another her images of built-form are traces having a topographic character, images of buildings that go beyond the buildings to evoke another dimension suspended between the built and its transformation through a ricochet of reflections lying outside the normative of vision.

In Sweden, many customs are closely associated with the changing seasons. Swedes celebrate summer with an intensity that can only be found in a people who have just endured a long, dark winter. They light candles at Advent and pay homage to a white-clad Lucia with candles in her hair. Swedish food tends to be influenced by the seasons. The way it is spiced and cooked often reflects the storage needs of the peasant communities of old, as in the case of pickled herring, freshly salted or smoked meat, or dairy products that have been curdled, boiled or left to mature. This is a colorfully illustrated book presenting the many customs and holidays in Sweden.
