DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Freunde, Autoren und Herausgeber, die sich im Sinne dieser Trias Peter Lang und seinem Verlag verbunden wissen, haben sich in diesem Band zusammengefunden, um dem Jubilar zu seinem sechzigsten Geburtstag mit ihren Mitteln einen Ehrenkranz zu winden. Sie möchten damit vor aller Welt ihrem Verleger ein Zeichen des Dankes für seine Hilfsbereitschaft, sein Verständnis und seine geduldige Förderung ihrer Projekte setzen. Sie möchten damit aber auch ihre Anerkennung für sein Engagement in der internationalen Kommunikation der Wissenschaften untereinander zum Ausdruck bringen. Die thematische Vielfalt der Beiträge entspricht der freien Gesinnung geistiger Pluralität des Hauses Peter Lang. Die Verschiedenheit der Disziplinen, Fächer, Themen und Meinungen der ständig steigenden Produktion bezeugt am besten die liberale Offenheit des Verlages.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Northern peripheries of Europe, which are covered by this book, are associated with remoteness, the frontier, isolated communities, colonialism and resource extraction. Recently, huge projects in petroleum and hydropower have been located there, and the region has become better known as an attractive tourist destination. Although these spaces are perceived as being marginal, they are inhabited and linked into globalization and international agendas. This book examines how people live in such remote spaces in an emerging global world of connectivity, interdependency, mobility and non-linear dynamics. The various case studies examine a wide range of experiences, ranging from tourists and local settlers to those who migrate for labour in old or new industries, or to pursue the hybrid urban/rural life of the periphery. In this book, mobility and place come together. The analyses demonstrate how mobility and place mutually constitute each other and how specific relationships between the two aspects are crucial in the making of societies. The authors study attempts to reinvent places, together with connections and the opening of 'new scapes' in order to sustain businesses, municipalities and people's livelihood.
