A select number of writers and specilists have joined forces to this end. Their contributions span politics and business life, sport and the culinary arts, education and environmental conservation, history, art and philosophies of life. The book is primarily a portrayal of contemporary Norway, but it also traces the historical lines that are necessary for an understanding of the events and circumstances that have moulded our country and ourselves. 651 0 $a Norway. 651 7 $a Norway. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204556 650 17 $a Cultuurgeschiedenis. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Cultuur. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Maatschappij. $2 gtt 700 1 $a Bull, Tove, $d 1945- $e editor. 700 1 $a Norvik, Harald, $e editor. 700 1 $a Svinningen, Tone, $e editor. 700 1 $a Anderson, James, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724062528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=271AFDA4214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
