MOLS COUNTRY THE.
Denmark 2005. Those who have an eye for landscape are able to see the drama of the Ice Age relected in the hills and valleys of the landscape of Mols. The two bays Kal� Bay and Ebeltoft Bay have each been formed by a glacier and the material forced up between these two glaciers has formed the Mountains of Mols. The melt water formed gorges and river valleys blocks of ice that were left have formed lakes and kettle holes. This book endeavours to find out some of the mystery surrounding the Mols country. Both how it was formed what it looks like today and what it has to offer if one enters it. Many exciting experiences await the visitor who has an open mind especially if he or she combines this book with a walk or cycle trip now and then possibly also a trip by car into the landscape using this book as a key.

Jahn Cilla. Photography by Carl Hjelte
M�TEN MED KONSTN�RER Meeting Artists.
Sweden 2002. Over a period of twenty years Cilla Jahn has been responsible for the artistic decoration of hundreds of different places around Stockholm. Originally she had a position as artistic adviser to one of the major housing companies and later she set up her own consultancy. This book describes meeting with some sixty of the artists that Jahn has worked with over the years in connection with new buildings or with major conversion schemes. She describes visits to studios and building sites and she tells us about the many vicissitudes encountered along the way. The artists span a wide range of styles techniques and materials. Some of the projects are large and complex requiring many years of work and involving numerous artists and then there are contrasting small-scale projects concentrating around a single artist. One gains an insight into the very different conditions under which artists can work.

Davidsen Cathrine Raben: PENELOPES WEB.
Denmark 2006. The paintings and drawings of Davidsen reference a variety of diverse influences. Images from a magazine a portrait by the Florentine master Botticelli a verse from a Latin text or an actual life experience are all fair game as motifs for her work. Formal components include the use of fashion layout and design which often cover thematic figurative elements that appear to be from both the real world as well as from aspects of western history. She mixes the classics with elements of modern style which is demonstrated in her choice of colour and material. She very often uses spray in neon colours such as pink or bright orange. Her work is a result of a translation process where classics are being interpreted all over again. English/ Danish Year2006 Illust. B/W10 Illust. Color43 ISBN 8788223574 Code 5828.

COPENHAGEN PEOPLE AND PLACES.
Denmark 2002. This grand book is about Copenhagen today. About the people who live in it its history its architecture its special qualities and its spirit. It covers not only the beautiful old nucleus of the capital city but also the districts in which the people of Copenhagen actually live: Vesterbro Frederiksberg N�rrebro and �sterbro plus Christianshavn Amager and New Copenhagen. People tell what the essence of their disctricts really is. The thesis of the book is that such a things exists: People move to where they have roots or where they think they will find others like themselves. In this way a special self-reinforcing conception of the places arises. The various parts of Copenhagen are essentially different from each other and their residents have fixed ideas as to �how we do things here�. It is often not like that in reality but that makes it only more interesting. The idea of the place lives on and that is what the book is trying to describe. Exquisite photography throughout.

FLORA DANICA.
Denmark 2004. This is the historical outline that begins in 1790 of one of the finest and most exclusive porcelain dinnerwares in the world. Every bit as fascinating is the sublime craftmanship which has always characterised the service: the finest openwork the meticulous reproduction of plant anatomy the detailed gilding and the painstakingly modelled flowers on the handles. This is truly craftmanship of the highest order and has been much admired far beyond Denmark�s borders. Flora Danica will therefore never be just a piece of beautifully decorated porcelain but a tale of kingdoms and empires political alliances and changing fashions and much more. This book will give you an insight into the stories and the fascinating production process that is characteristic of a piece of Flora Danica from Royal Copenhagen. English Year2004 Illust.
