This classic text is a history of Norwegian Immigration to the United States in its very earliest years - specifically up until 1850. History of Norwegian Immigration to America: The Reasons for Norwegian Immigration to AmericaWhy did people want to leave Norway and why did they want to move to America? The Norwegian immigrants of the colonial period joined the Dutch seeking profit, opportunities for trade and a new life in America. Many of the later immigrants of the early 1800's sought religious freedom. However, the main reasons for the Norwegian Immigration to America in the mid 1800's were disasters such as crop failures, blights and poor harvests leading to poverty. The agricultural revolution caused unemployment and the financial need to seek a better life and employment due to the industrialization of America.History of Norwegian Immigration to America in the 1600's: Colonial America - New NetherlandDuring the Colonial era Norway were important diplomatic and trading allies of Holland. The Norwegians supplied the Dutch with the timber needed to build their ships. Due to these close alliances, a number of immigrants from Norway came across in Dutch ships and settled among the Dutch in New Netherland during the Colonial period. New Netherland covered areas of the Mid-Atlantic States, later known as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware. This was the first small and sporadic wave of Norwegian Immigration to America.History of Norwegian Immigration to America in the 1800's: The SloopersThe history of Norwegian Immigration to America reached a significant point in 1825 when the Restauration ship sailed from Stavenger with over 50 Quakers and Haugean reformists on board who wanted to leave the religious prosecution of the Lutheran state church in Norway. The trip was well planned and Cleng Peerson, who would later be called the 'Pioneer of Norse Emigration to America', visited America in 1821 to prepare for their arrival. The group was led by Lars Larsen Geilane and made the hazardous 14-week journey to America on the Restauration, an undersized sailing sloop which earned the group the name of the 'Sloopers'. They landed in New York on October 9, 1825, and were lauded for their bravery that many Americans saw as reminiscent of the Mayflower pilgrims. The Norwegian migrants first settled in Kendall, New York and in 1834 Cleng Peerson founded a second Norwegian settlement in the Fox River Valley of Illinois, which was aptly called 'Norway, Illinois'.History of Norwegian Immigration to America in the 1800's: The Potato BlightDuring the 1800's potatoes were the most important crop in Norway. The potato blight, responsible for the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849), spread to Norway causing famine hunger and disease. It is estimated that 50,000 Norwegians died during this terrible time. Emigration to America was a means of escape but the passage was expensive. Some Norwegians obtained passage by signing contracts as indentured servants without pay up to 5 -7 years in return for free passage. By the end of the 1860s there were more than 40,000 Norwegians in the United States.History of Norwegian Immigration to America in the 1800's: Major Wave of Norwegian ImmigrationAfter the American Civil War (1861 to 1865) yet another terrible famine hit the countries of Scandinavia and brought the first major wave of Norwegian immigrants in its wake. The devastating Famine of 1866 - 1868 hit all the Scandinavian countries leaving potatoes and vegetables rotting in the fields of Norway. Norwegian Immigration to America soared as 110,896 people were forced to leave Norway between 1866 and 1873.

After his death Thorstein Veblen was hailed as ‘America’s Darwin and Marx’ and is normally portrayed as the perennial iconoclast. He severely criticised traditional economics and attempted to create an alternative approach based on a much more complex view of human beings. He is one of the most celebrated economists of our age and has been the inspiration for many books; the predatory version of capitalism we now again experience, the phenomenon of studying cultures of consumption and the darker sides of gilded ages can be traced back to Veblen. A conference in Veblen’s ancestral Norway marked the 150th anniversary of his birth. The aim of the conference was to consolidate Veblen scholarship and evaluate his relevance for the problems of today. This collection offers the results of that endeavour; it is a milestone of Vebleniana which assesses all the most salient aspects of his life and influence. Many of its contributors also push into uncharted territory, examining the man and his work from new and necessary perspectives hitherto ignored by scholarship.

There comes a time in life when we find ourselves in the desert place of burning questions. Why? Why me? But even as we shake our fist heavenward, the heart whispers another question. Who? Who are you, God? It is a question of relationship, a question we all murmur in the hardest places. Against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Lynne Hartke asks her own hard questions as cancer arrives like a thief with one goal: to take it all. Hair. The contents of a stomach. A marriage. A life. As her days become a blur of doctors' appointments, treatments, and surgeries, she wrestles with a tumble of tangled emotions, a shaken faith, and self-doubt. Cancer is now not only threatening her own life, but, in a surprising twist, the lives of both her parents as well. Through her raw, lyrical words, Hartke invites fellow sojourners to discover that in life's hardest places, they are not alone in their fear, they are not foolish to hope, and they are never forgotten by a loving, pursuing God. Never.
