<p>English edition of <i>Kunskap i rörelse</i> (ISBN 978-91-7061-262-6).<br/></p><p>The Royal Swedish Academy Of Sciences in Stockholm has been a knowledge organisation of central importance to Swedish society for almost three centuries. Its institutions and members have gathered data and created new knowledge in laboratories, observatories and the outdoors, sometimes during expeditions to distant lands. However, the Academy has not only produced, but also collected, distributed and popularised knowledge. Through publications, correspondence, meetings, medals and rewards, the Academy has brought together a multitude of different actors researchers, politicians, patrons, engineers, instrument makers and book printers, to name just a few not only in Sweden, but around the world. And, through a continual stream of consultation statements, papers and research policy measures, the Academy has worked to emphasise the value of knowledge and its utilisation.<br/></p><p>In <i>Knowledge in Motion</i>, a dozen Swedish historians of science, medicine and technology depict the long history of the Academy of Sciences. The first section follows the institutional evolution of the Academy, from its founding in 1739 to our own times. This birds-eye perspective vanishes in the second section in which, through almost forty picture essays, we become acquainted with some of the myriad elements that also comprise this history.<br/></p><p>Contribution to the History of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, no. 48 (ISSN 0081-9956). </p>

Ghost Ships Of The Baltic Sea (limited Edition) Bok
<p>This is the largest photo book of shipwrecks in the Baltic sea ever published. It is the collector's edition of this acclaimed book that takes you down to the most spectacular wrecks in the Baltic Sea. The format 48 x 35 centimeters and the weight is almost five kilos. It is printed in a limited edition of 459 individually numbered copies, each signed by the authors.</p><p></p><p>This unique sea holds close to 100,000 wrecks - many of them surprisingly well kept. The cold water and the historic lack of shipworms has preserved the ships better than anywhere else in the world - thus the Baltic Sea provides an enthralling treasure chest for divers. There are warships from the 17th century, magnificent wooden ships from the 18th century, cargo ships from the 19th century and warships from the Second World War.</p><p></p><p>On board these sunken ships, time has frozen - it often feels as if the crew has only just left the vessel. The wrecks have become like time capsules, a spooky mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a brutal drama.</p><p></p><p>These amazing images of the ghost ships of the Baltic have attracted global attention and appear in this book reproduced really large for the first time.</p>

Printed in a limited edition of 1000 with over 100 exceptional images presented as never before alongside text by historian and diver Carl Douglas and marine archaeologist Björn Hagberg.
