Öns båtbyggare har placerat Orust på världskartan genom sin hantverksskicklighet och genom båtar som blivit kända för sin kvalitet.<br/>Det finns gott om maritima kulturminnen på Orust, i form av värdefulla varvsmiljöer.

Det handlar om hårt arbete, båtbyggande i trä och plast, generationsskiften och nya tider.<br/>Alla är de bärare av ett kulturarv och förvaltare av en kunskapsbank.<br/><br/>En berättelse att förundras över och bilder att förtjusas av!<br/><br/>Boken utkommer även på svenska.<br/>ISBN Engelska: 9789188435101<br/>ISBN Svenska: 9789188435095

The purpose of this book is to help you to the skill level where you can start to disassemble and re-assemble a watch movement by understanding the different parts, their names, and functionality. After having read this book you will not be a professional watchmaker but you might be in the process of becoming one, or you might have found a very deep satisfaction being an amateur watchmaker.

This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.

<p>Every year, Sweden ranks near the top of the list of the world's most innovative countries in terms of the number of historically epoch-making innovations, patents granted per capita and innovation start-up companies. The most common reason cited for Sweden's strength in innovation has been its strong tradition of engineering. But there are other reasons too.</p><p></p><p>In this book, science writer Eva Krutmeijer and historian Henrik Berggren delve into the structures that created Sweden's favourable innovation climate. They approach the subject by highlighting fifty important Swedish innovations - and through this diversity they uncover some underlying patterns.</p><p></p><p>The innovations presented in this book span over three hundred years, and many of them are well known all over the world. The concept of innovation is broadly defined by the authors and includes political and social phenomena that arose in Sweden and were later adopted by other countries. The common denominator for all the innovations presented is that they are used in real life. Through storytelling and a rich amount of illustrations, the book provides a greater insight into both the driving forces of each innovator and the importance of collaboration.</p><p></p><p>The preface is written by HM the king of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf. The King is patron of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and has a keen interest in innovation. The book is produced in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.</p>
