Joakim Eskildsen: The Roma Journeys

1 review
Cia Rinne

Steidl, 2007

A stunningly rich portrait of contemporary Gypsy life
This book is wonderful for its abundance of truly great, intimate, revealing photographs -- and for its intelligent and insightful brief texts about a Gypsy culture that has been little understood for centuries. The book is arranged in seven main sections, each representing an in-depth insider's perspective of the daily lives of Roma Gypsies who live in communities in seven very different ...

AZU's Dreams of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (Dreams of) (Dreams of)
Michael Spencer (author) Joakim Leroy (photographer)

AZU Editions, Ltd., 2007

Kuala Lumpur is a heady blend of culture, with Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences combining in a rich soup that generates a tremendous sense of vitality. This is evident in KL's continuing reinvention of itself. This compact, well organized city is graced with numerous parks, exotic food markets, mosques, and temples that contrast with ambitious, futuristic developments like the soaring Petronas Towers and the inner-city monorail sytem. From ...

Refinement Calculus: A Systematic Introduction (Texts in Computer Science)
Ralph-Johan Back, Joakim Wright

Springer, 1998

Much current research in computer science is concerned with two questions: is a program correct? and how can we improve a correct program preserving correctness? This latter question is known as the refinement of programs and the purpose of this book is to consider these questions in a formal setting. In fact, correctness turns out to be a special case of refinement and so the focus is on refinement. Although a reasonable background ...

Soren Kierkegaard: A Biography

9 reviews
Joakim Garff

Princeton University Press, 2007

Somewhat ironically, a fun book to read
It may seem astonishing to many that a nearly-900 page biography of Soren Kierkegaard would ever be described as riveting, or as a page-turner, but that is exactly what this book by Joakim Garff, translated by Bruce Kirmmse from the original Danish, turns out to be. I first noticed it at the bookstore of my seminary, and, intended only to read through a few pages at the beginning to be somewhat ...

Written Images: Soren Kierkegaard's Journals, Notebooks, Booklets, Sheets, Scraps, and Slips of Paper
Niels Jorgen Cappelorn, Soren Kierkegaard, ...

Princeton University Press, 2003

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55) was an almost unbelievably prolific writer. At his death he left not only a massive body of published work (25 volumes in the recently completed Princeton University Press edition), but also a sprawling mass of unpublished writings that rivaled the size of the published corpus. This book tells the story of the peculiar fate of this portion of Kierkegaard's literary remains, which flowed ceaselessly from his steel pen ...

The Quaternary History of Scandinavia (World and Regional Geology)
Joakim Donner

Cambridge University Press, 2005

During the Quaternary Period, Scandinavia's mountains were the source for repeated glaciation that covered much of eastern, central and western Europe. With a particular emphasis on Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, this text describes how these glaciations, and their intervening warmer stages, affected Scandinavia and the surrounding areas. In particular, this account focuses on the last cold stage, the Weichselian, with its extensive Late ...

National Identity in Divided and Unified Germany
Joakim Ekman

VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K., 2008

Following World War II, Germany was divided in two parts. For a period of more than 40 years, two German states developed in separation from each other, and because of the horrors of the recent past, both states badly needed to develop new national self-images. In the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the communist regime desperately tried to foster a distinct socialist GDR identity among the East Germans. In the Federal Republic of Germany ...

The volume harbours an ambition to go beyond the often one-dimensional debate on democratization in Asia. With an historical perspective, and with an explicit attempt to view change from within, ten case studies from Southeast Asia are presented that illuminate how processes of governance are being altered ...

The Making of the European Union: Foundations, Institutions And Future Trends
Sten Berglund, Joakim Ekman, ...

Edward Elgar Publishing, 2006

"The Making of the European Union" argues that the process of European integration has drifted into serious crisis, perhaps the most serious since the Danes voted against the Treaty of the European Union in 1992. French and Dutch voters blatantly rejected the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe in the summer of 2005, thus freezing the constitutional process for at least a year. The outcome of these referenda indicates that the views ...
