Nature, Aesthetics, and Environmentalism
Nature, Aesthetics, and Environmentalism: From Beauty to Duty addresses the complex relationships between aesthetic appreciation and environmental issues and emphasizes the valuable contribution that environmental aesthetics can make to environmentalism. Allen Carlson, a pioneer in environmental aesthetics, and Sheila Lintott, who has published widely in aesthetics, combine important historical essays on the appreciation of nature with the best contemporary research in the field. They begin with the scientific, artistic, and aesthetic foundations of current environmental beliefs and attitudes. Then they offer views on the conceptualization of nature and the various debates on how to properly and respectfully appreciate nature. The book introduces positive aesthetics, the belief that everything in nature is essentially beautiful, even the devastation caused by earthquakes or floods, and the essays in the final section explicitly bring together aesthetics, ethics, and environmentalism to explore the ways in which each might affect the others.

Making Nordic Historiography
Is there a “Nordic history”? If so, what are its origins, its scope, and its defining features? In this informative volume, scholars from all five Nordic nations tackle a notoriously problematic historical concept. Whether recounting Foucault’s departure from Sweden or tracing the rise of movements such as “aristocratic empiricism,” each contribution takes a deliberately transnational approach that is grounded in careful research, yielding rich, nuanced perspectives on shifting and contested historical terrain.

Kukunor
Lauri Viidan (1916–1965) runoelma Kukunor. Satu ihmislapsille (1949) on suomalaisen runouden klassikko ja yksi kaunokirjallisen nonsensen varhaisimmista tienraivaajista Suomessa. Tämä väitöskirja tarkastelee Viidan monitasoista runoelmaa eurooppalaista nonsensekirjallisuutta vasten ja selvittää, millaisia suhteita Kukunorin unipiirteillä on nonsensen lajitraditioon. Vertailukohtina ovat lajin tunnetuimmat eurooppalaiset mestarit Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll ja Christian Morgenstern. Nonsensekirjallisuuden ja unen suhteista on kirjoitettu alan ensimmäisistä tutkimuksista lähtien, mutta tämä teos on ensimmäinen aihepiiriin keskittyvä tutkimus. Teos toimii suomenkielisenä johdatuksena länsimaiseen nonsensekirjallisuuteen sekä kirjallisuuden unipiirteiden tutkimukseen. Se osoittaa, että Viidan rakastettu mutta outona pidetty Kukunor avautuu uudella ja kiehtovalla tavalla nonsensekirjallisuuden perinnettä vasten. Samalla teos antaa näkökulmia Lauri Viidan koko tuotantoon.
