Download or read book Modern Finland written by Harald Haarmann and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a multifaceted view of modern Finland, this book describes its history, culture, language, geography, natural history and the mythology of early peoples. Topics include Fenno-Scandia inhabitants and their environment, traditional naturalism and modern environmentalism, and the salient features of "Finnishness," including an analysis of the Finnish educational system and gender equality. Finland's art, architecture and music are highlighted, along with its peace-keeping missions worldwide. The country's several ethnic groups and their languages are discussed--the Saami, Finns, Finland-Swedes, Russian-speaking peoples, Jews and Gypsies. The author examines Finland's late but rapid development in commerce and industry, with a focus on the history of Nokia Corporation, which grew from a 19th-century manufacturer of pulpwood and rubber boots to a 21st-century international digital communications company.

This book was released on 1999-04-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the world's oldest and richest folk traditions come from a country that most Americans know very little about-Finland (or Suomi). The fifth largest country in Europe (in land size), Finland is home to the third true folk epic, The Kalevala (The Land of Heroes). It is a country of lush forests and sparkling clear lakes where, in the northern regions, reindeer still roam. This collection introduces readers to the fascinating culture, history, geology, and folk literature of Finland. After a historical and cultural overview, the authors present 20 representative stories-including ancient tales from The Kalevala, humorous and moral tales (e.g., The Selfish Housewife and The Magic Wish)-and a fictionalized account of a witch trial in the 1600s. Holiday traditions, proverbs and sayings, and traditional recipes embellish this collection and will tantalize and intrigue readers. Color plates illustrate the land, the people, and artistic traditions of this wondrous people.

Download or read book Wooden Church Architecture of the Russian North written by Evgeny Khodakovsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a broad panoramic overview of church architecture in the Russian North between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. While it is inevitably overshadowed by the imperial splendour of the country’s capital cities, this unique phenomenon is regarded as the most distinctive national expression of traditional Russian artistic culture and at the same time as a significant part of humanity’s worldwide architectural heritage. The chief intention of the book is to present the regionally specific features of the wooden churches of the Russian North, which vary from area to area for local natural or historical reasons. This approach touches upon the very important questions of the typology and classification of the multiplicity of architectural forms. The "regional view" entails giving clear definitions of the ambiguous terms "architectural school" and "tradition", explaining the origins and shaping impulses for the different regional clusters of objects. Structurally the book presents a history of the development of wooden church architecture in the Russian North and then follows the key points of the mediaeval Russian expansion along the waterways from Novgorod into the North – he Svir’ River, Lake Onego, the town of Kargopol’ and the River Onega, the White Sea, the Rivers Dvina, Pinega and Mezen’ – those areas that still retain the most splendid pieces of Russian regional wooden church architecture. The study is based on field research and provides an up-to-date, multi-faceted view of Russian wooden architecture.

Download or read book Traditional Finnish Log House - Making a Dovetail Notch written by Jarmo Hiltunen and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durable, esthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly. These are just some of the features of a handcrafted Northern European log house. And the dovetail is one of the oldest traditional corner notch types used in their construction--even today, builders recommend this fairly easy technique for long-lasting and fully scribed log houses. This is the second book in the Traditional Finnish Log House series. Inside you'll find detailed instructions on how to make the dovetail notch when building a log home's shell, one log at a time. Whether you're are an experienced builder or a novice to the craft of log building, this book is a great way to get started on your own project. The dovetail notch type is an ancient Scandinavian log house building method developed over centuries by masters of the craft. The only changes have been the preferred tools used--like chainsaws and log scribes--primarily adopted for ease of use and speed. As you'll soon see, it's most important to always make sure each log is properly placed before drawing cut lines. But the real secret of the building technique described in this book is its efficiency--each phase has to be done only once avoiding unnecessary steps. But don't be deceived by this fact, there's still plenty of challenge left when building a traditional wooden house using a dovetail notch.
