| Title: Distant Voices |
| Sub-title: Ideas on Democracy & the Eurozone Crisis |
| Edited by: Lise Rye |
| ISBN10-13: 823210354X : 9788232103546 |
| This book brings together six countries where arguments about democracy have been central in the processes that have brought them into or kept them on the outside of the European Union (EU). Its purpose is to examine whether, in a context of Europeanisation and at the juncture of crisis, shifts in ideas about national democracy and democracy in the EU have taken place. Turning the focus from the EU centre toward its periphery, the book makes an original contribution to the intertwined debates on the Eurozone crisis and democracy in the European Union. Informed by a constructivist perspective, the book presents in-depth analyses of political party and civil society discourse in Greece, Portugal, Hungary, Turkey, Iceland and Norway. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of History, Politics and European Studies. |

| Distant Voices: Ideas on democracy & the Eurozone Crisis: Introduction; Democracy or Demagogy? The Greek Political Actors on the Sovereign Debt Crisis; Going Further Peripheral?

| Title: Distribution Maps of Norwegian Vascular Plants |
| Sub-title: IV -- The Eastern & Northeastern Elements |
| Edited by: Reidar Elven, Eli Fremstad, Oddvar Pedersen |
| ISBN10-13: 8232102462 : 9788232102464 |
| This volume marks the end of a long-lasting project. It presents distribution maps and explanatory texts for over 200 taxa of vascular plants with an eastern or north-eastern distribution pattern in Norway. All basic information (including herbarium specimens, literature, lists) has been critically evaluated. For each taxon, the earliest records, habitat (ecology), and distribution within Norway are commented upon, and the relationship to distribution patterns in neighbouring countries is discussed. Although much basic documentation is due to pioneers in the late 18th century and 19th century, substantial new information has been provided during the production of this volume, which also has many comments on solved and unsolved taxonomical problems and problems related to the immigration (or possibly survival) history connected to the taxa. The target audience is botanists dealing with plant taxonomy and phytogeography in boreal and sub-arctic environments. Hopefully, the texts and illustrations will entice a larger audience to engage in further study of Norwegian vascular Flora. |

| Title: East of Noise |
| Sub-title: Eivind Groven –- Composer, Ethnomusicologist, Researcher |
| Edited by: Ingrid Loe Dalaker |
| ISBN10-13: 8232102616 : 9788232102617 |
| The Norwegian composer, musicologist, and folk musician Eivind Groven (1901-1977) is increasingly recognised as an important contributor to the music scene from the 1920's onwards. His work on the just intonation problematics has inspired further studies of composition and acoustics, with practical benefits for jazz, folk, and classical musicians. Groven's efforts in the transmission and transcription of folk music have evoked renewed interest among generations of young performers. As a collector, musician, radio broadcaster, acoustician, musicologist, and composer, he has entered the ranks of pioneers in Norway. Path-breaking is arduous, but due to the steadfastness of his vision and humility towards the legacy he inherited, he succeeded in many areas and attracted the respect of renowned people such as Albert Schweitzer, Alois Hába and Arne Nordheim. The book consists of eleven articles, discussing Groven's life and work as composer, ethnomusicologist and researcher, in addition to lists of Groven's works and a bibliography that provides an overview of his contributions to the field of music. |

| Title: Engineering Approach to Finite Element Analysis of Linear Structural Mechanics Problems |
| By (author): Bell Kolbein |
| ISBN10-13: 8232102683 : 9788232102686 |
| This book is written by an engineer for engineering students (and practising engineers). While the presentation of the core material is fairly traditional, an attempt has been made to emphasize the impact of the formidable computational capability now available to all engineers. The author tends to favour simplicity and "abundance"; that is, many simple elements. Some mathematics is necessary for understanding the finite element method, but hopefully the approach and terminology of this book is familiar to the "engineering" way of thinking, and for the most part derivations are based on the principle of virtual displacements. As the owner of this book you are entitled to download two simple, but useful and easy-to-use FEM programs (for Windows) to your own PC from http://www.fagbokforlaget.no/fem Both programs (FEMplate and CrossX) are used in connection with several examples in the book. |

| Title: Globalization in Literature |
| Edited by: Per Thomas Andersen |
| ISBN10-13: 8232100036 : 9788232100033 |
| This collection of essays has been written in the context of rethinking the field of literature and cultural studies in an era when cultural identity is changing. The point of departure is that today we are developing post-national constellations and cosmopolitan selves. Through a number of articles on literary works, films, and visual arts, this book offers perspectives on cultural encounters marked by globalisation. The main topics covered are human rights, world literature, cosmopolitanism, migration, translingualism and post-national identities. |

| Title: Intelligent Goods in Transport Systems |
| Series: (Engineering Series: 3) |
| Edited by: Heidi Dreyer, Trond Foss |
| ISBN10-13: 8232102047 : 9788232102044 |
| The book is about how the intelligent goods may collect, store, protect and communicate information related to the goods and its transport from A to B and how this capabilities may support the actors involved in the management and control of supply chain networks and transport systems. The book is first all written for students focusing on the Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Transportation domains but it will also be very useful for SCM and transport system stakeholders who want to look into new technology and applications that will contribute to more affective, safe and secure operation of their systems. The book has been written by recognised senior researchers in the ICT, SCM and transport domains. The book successfully discusses the opportunities inherent in intelligent goods systems and present multiple aspects of the process of understanding, developing and applying intelligent goods systems". (Professor Ed McCormack, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA). The NTNU Engineering Series publishes research in all engineering fields. It is open for monographs containing advanced research, anthologies with research contributions in a given field, and also conference preprints or proceedings. All publications are subject to peer review. An editorial board decides which publications can be accepted based on content, peer review, and (if appropriate) the academic merits of the author(s). The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology as an independent non-commercial organisation is responsible for the content. Akademika publishing has responsibility for printing, distribution, and marketing. The engineering field is currently undergoing rapid development in response to global challenges connected to the environment, resources, and welfare. For this response to continue, further fundamental research is needed. The Engineering Series aims to provide an independent, high quality publication channel for this purpose. |

| Title: Last Conference |
| Sub-title: A Pragmatist Saga |
| By (author): Arild Pedersen |
| ISBN10-13: 8232103221 : 9788232103225 |
| Once, philosophers like Plato and Kierkegaard combined narratives and logical arguments to engage both brain hemispheres, creating a kind of Gesamtphilosophy. Nowadays, philosophers mostly communicate with their left hemisphere. In this book, Gesamtphilosophy is restored in a spirit of pragmatism. It is the story of an inexperienced NY Times journalist who is sent to Reykjavik by his editor to cover a philosophy conference on experience, where he himself becomes experienced. During the conference he reports from five presentations on views of experience: Those of Timothy Williamson, John McDowell, Robert Brandom, Richard Rorty, and John Dewey, all representing increasingly complex theories. At the same time, he experiences what the theories say. He becomes a participant, rather than a mere reporter, and finds himself living a modern saga, with striking similarities to a certain Old Norse saga. Dramatic events, involving love and power struggle, are crowned by a volcanic eruption with fatal consequences, before he returns to NY as a very experienced man. |
