Finland-swedes in Michigan (Paperback) $14.3 Who are the Finland-Swedes? Defined as citizens of Finland with a Swedish mother tongue, many know these people as ?Swede- Finns? or simply ?Swedes.? This book, the first ever to focus on this ethnolinguistic minority living in Michigan, examines the origins of the Finland-Swedes and traces their immigration patterns, beginning with the arrival of hundreds in the United States in the 1860s. A growing population until the 1920s, when immigration restrictions were put in place, the Finland-Swedes brought with them unique economic, social, cultural, religious, and political institutions, explored here in groundbreaking detail. Drawing on archival, church, and congregational records, interviews, and correspondence, this book paints a vivid portrait of Finland-Swedish life in photographs and text, and also includes detailed maps that show the movement of this group over time. The latest title in the Discovering the Peoples of Michigan series even includes a sampling of traditional Finland-Swedish recipes. |

Finland at War 1939-45 $26.17 Finland`s fight to defend her independence earned this tiny nation of just 3 million people a distinct place in history. Invaded by Stalin before World War II, Finland held out for months and inflicted huge losses on the invaders, but she was eventually crushed by the weight of Soviet numbers. When Germany invaded the USSR in 1941 the Finns fought alongside the Wehrmacht on the northern Russian Front, with great skill and courage in an attempt to regain their lost territories. When the German armies were forced to retreat in 1944, Finland managed to conclude a separate peace with the USSR – uniquely, without being forced to accept renewed Russian occupation. This book details the organisation, uniforms and equipment of this remarkable force. |

To the Finland Station $26.99 To the Finald Station is one of the greatest works by 20th-century America's heralded man of letters. This magisterial study of the revolutionary dream reaches from the French Revolution through the Paris Commune to Russia in 1917, and features brilliant portraits of such figures as Jules Michelet, the great historian of the French people; the utopians Robert Owen and Charles Fourier; the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin; and of course Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky. Combining his polymathic talents as critic, journalist, historian, and novelist, Edmund Wilson offers an incisive and enduring tribute to the resilience, depth, and passion of the modern culture of protest.... we can use it to teach ourselves how to keep the dreams alive in the present, and ... in the future, how to make the visions real. -- The New York Times Book Review |

To the Finland Station (Paperback) $27.81 One of the great works of modern historical writing, the classic account of the ideas, people, and politics that led to the Bolshevik RevolutionEdmund Wilson`s To the Finland Station is intellectual history on a grand scale, full of romance, idealism, intrigue, and conspiracy, that traces the revolutionary ideas that shaped the modern world from the French Revolution up through Lenin`s arrival at Finland Station in St. Petersburg in 1917. Fueled by Wilson`s own passionate engagement with the ideas and politics at play, it is a lively and vivid, sweeping account of a singular idea?that it is possible to construct a society based on justice, equality, and freedom?gaining the power to change history. Vico, Michelet, Bakunin, and especially Marx?along with scores of other anarchists, socialists, nihilists, utopians, and more?all come to life in these pages. And in Wilson`s telling, their stories and their ideas remain as alive, as provocative, as relevant now as they were in their own time. |
