Best Book Ever!!!By GraaulverThe first chapter is hard to get into, but after that it gets really awesome. I actually finished reading this the night before I recieved the new Korpiklaani album "Manala". Now I have a deeper understanding of the subject matters of the songs. I also bought the "Kalevala" in Finnish by Elias Lonnrot, and am hoping to understand more once I learn Finnish. Excellent Book!!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Too many mistakesBy jcfiiiWay to many typing errors in the book. It isn't worth spending money on. Although it is a great story This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work. About the AuthorAbout the Author: "Elias Lonnrot (April 9, 1802 - March 19, 1884) was a Finnish philologist and collector of traditional Finnish oral poetry. He is best known for composing the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic compiled from national folklore.Lonnrot was born in Sammatti, in the province of Uusimaa in Finland. He studied medicine at the Academy of Turku. To his misfortune the year he joined was the year of the Great Fire of Turku, burning down half the town - and the University. Lonnrot (and many of the rest of the University) moved to Helsinki, where he graduated in 1832. He got a job as district doctor of Kajaani (about in the middle of Finland) during a time of famine in the district. The famine had prompted the previous doctor to resign, making it possible for a very young doctor to get such a position. Several consecutive years of crop failure resulted in enormous losses of population and livestock; Lonnrot wrote letters to the State departments, asking for food, not medicines. He was the sole doctor for the about 4000 people of his district, at a time where doctors were rare and very expensive, and where people did not buy medicines from equally rare and expensive pharmacies, but rather trusted to their village healers and locally available remedies.His true passion lay in his native Finnish language. He began writing about the early Finnish language in 1827 and began collecting folk tales from the rural people about that time."

The Exhibitions begin from the entrance floor with the Major International Exhibition space which is for changing exhibitions. The exhibition is in the 1930’s warehouse building, it is an open space lined with columns which makes it easy to be transformed for different kinds of exhibitions. The Main Exhibition space for the history of Turku and Finland is on two levels on the 2nd floor. The exhibition is entered through the 1st floor Major Exhibition with a staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. The space is open with just a couple of dividing walls and columns making it flexible for changes in exhibition. For instance, the Virtual Reality Experience rooms are set between the columns on the second floor for a different kind of museum experience – Turku Goes 1812 where the visitor can experience parts of the city as it was 15 years prior to the Great fire of Turku. The Museum also houses a Museum shop, a Restaurant with seating for 150 people, and an Auditorium with 180 seats on the 1st floor. Existing Buildings The existing buildings on site are used as part of the exhibition spaces as well as a part of the restaurant dining area, museum storage area and as rentable collaboration spaces for the museum and the local businesses. Landscape The site should engage the visitor in history directly upon arrival – a stone paved pathway lined with concrete information walls leads the visitor toward the entrance.

Nature-based solutions is one of the key words in the debate on urban development today. Nature is expected – and proved – to serve many functions in our cities. Many challenges that would otherwise be hard to meet can best be solved by approaches where nature plays the key role. Climate Change is the greatest acute threat to humankind and the diverse forms of life on planet Earth. The City of Turku has responded strongly to this threat. We have already reduced a quarter of our emissions as compared to the level of 1990, and by 2029 Turku shall be a carbon-neutral area. Our Climate Plan 2029 was approved unanimously by City Council on the 11th of June this year. Nature plays an important role in both Climate mitigation and adaptation. Climate risks are significantly reduced by increasing the area of forests, greeneries and wetlands within the built city areas. At the same time, these solutions increase the daily wellbeing and health of the inhabitants. Furthermore, green corridors within the city serve as pleasant routes for walking and cycling as well as ecological corridors for animals, birds and insects.

  • “Let Us Be Finns”: the Era Before Finland's Independence
    “Let Us Be Finns”: The Era before Finland’s Independence Helena Halmari, Sam Houston State University Scott Kaukonen, Sam Houston State University Hanna Snellman, University of Helsinki Hilary-Joy Virtanen, Finlandia University1 Abstract In this introduction to the Journal of Finnish Studies theme issue entitled The Making of Finland: The Era of the Grand Duchy, the editors outline, in broad strokes, the years when Finland was part of Russia. The second part of the chapter consists of a discussion of the eight chapters that make up this article collection. The contributors approach the topic of the Grand Duchy of Finland from multiple—and even surprising—perspectives, showing how, in addition to the important cultural events that contributed to Finland’s quest for independence, ordinary aspects of daily life, such as food culture, were also part of this path, as was hunger, poverty, and illness. The Time of the Grand Duchy of Finland, 1809–1917 The year 2017 marked one hundred years of Finland’s indepen- dence. Now that Finland has entered into its second independent century, the Journal of Finnish Studies wishes to acknowledge the occasion with this theme issue, The Making of Finland: The Era of the Grand Duchy. In the year 1809, after centuries of shared his- tory with Scandinavia, the governance of Finland was transferred from Sweden to Russia, immediately following the 1808–1809 “Finnish War”—a war between Sweden and Russia (as part of 1 The authors are listed in alphabetical order.
