They will read about such famous writers, artists, and composers as Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch, and Edvard Grieg. And they will discover how Norway confronts the challenges of modern society without sacrificing its social-democratic philosophy of social justice and shared responsibility, both at home and globally.Photographs of art, architecture, nature, people, and moreIncludes a glossary of Norwegian-language words like lutefisk and nynorsk, that are useful for understanding Norwegian culturePresents a political map of NorwayA chronology of important events from the Stone Age to the presentAn annotated bibliography of English-language resources
