"Midnight sun over Swedish Lapland" is a beautifully illustrated photobook. Magnificent pictures of animals, nature and Sami culture are interspersed with poetic poems and factual texts of Lapland. The book reflects the life in Lapland from the last northern lights in early spring to the beautiful autumn colors in September. It is an intense period when the sun refuses to go below the horizon during two months. The book also gives a historical review of Sami culture, Carl Linnaeus' journey through Lapland to the first navvies who built the ion ore line. The publishers also give their views on how Lapland should be managed for future generations. Photographer Peter Rosen from Abisko / Luleå has previously received much attention for his northern lights images, and in 2012 he published the book "Aurora Borealis in Lapland" which became a success. In Rosén's new book he welcome you to a world full of light. A Lapland in the midnight sun. The book is nicely dressed in poetry and prose by Lisa C.Q. Holmström from Kiruna.

<p>Fotografen Charlie Bennet har rest runt till alla Stockholm i USA. Hans bilder fångar den vackra men samtidigt öde och ensamma själen i dessa avbefolkade orter. Vissa av dem kommer snart att vara borta. Stockholm i Iowa dog till exempel mer eller mindre ut när järnvägen lades om. I Stockholm i Maine finns det däremot en stark svensk förankring.</p><p>Visste du att Stockholm är en avfolkningsort som lever upp på söndagarna när kyrkan kallar? Eller att Stockholm har arrangerat VM i flipperspel? Av ett annat Stockholm finns bara en kyrkogård kvar, tillsammans med minnet av en utsatt koloni solsvedda svenskar i södraste Texas.</p><p>Det finns hundratals platser med svenska eller svenskklingande namn i USA och minst åtta Stockholm. Svenskheten på dessa platser varierar kraftigt och på vissa orter är det endast efternamnen som antyder att utvandrade svenskar en gång i tiden hade inflytande. Andra vårdar sitt svenska arv med ömhet och stolthet, fast med amerikansk accent. Alla är unika och skiljer sig fullständigt från den svenska huvudstad som de en gång döptes efter. </p><p>De Stockholm som finns med i boken ligger i Iowa, Maine, New York State, New Jersey, South Dakota, Minnesota, Texas och Wisconsin och självklart Stockholm, Sverige. </p><p>Boken ges även ut på svenska; United Stockholms of America : Svenskarna som stannade</p>
