This book explores how gender equality, a central part of the
Nordic imaginary, is used in the political communication of Nordic
states. The analyses presented move beyond conventional images and
discourses of Nordic gender- and women-friendliness by critically
investigating how and to what extent gender equality serves
nation-branding in the Nordic region. Nation-branding is an
unescapable part of globalisation, which is a market-oriented
process dominated by the West and predicated on the creation of
winners and losers. Hence, efforts to strengthen the national brand
or reputation of specific Nordic countries with the aid of gender
equality as a political and symbolic value inevitably help to
reinforce already established global hierarchies where the Nordics
play the role of moral superpower. This book comprises scholars
from various fields of specialisation, and provides evidence and
understanding for the growing interaction between gender-equality
policies and nation-branding in all five Nordic countries. It does
so by exploring a variety of policy fields and issues including
women's rights, foreign policy, rape and legislation, female quotas
and business policies, in addition to the index industry. The rise
of the global indexes has reproduced forceful images of the Nordic
countries as frontrunners of gender equality, which indeed help the
Nordic countries to further position themselves as 'best at being
good'. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of Nordic gender equality in political science, sociology, law,
criminology, political psychology and history, as well as those
interested in nation branding, Nordic studies and exceptionalism.

Knowing where our food comes from is a huge issue; food safety and
costs seem to figure more prominently in our lives all the time.
Many people would like to grow their own vegetables but don t know
how to begin digging, plowing, planting, weeding, and watering a
large plot can be daunting. Stand Up and Garden shows how everyone
can garden, including those with physical limitations like
arthritis or location limitations like apartment-dwellers without
backyards. Imagine harvesting radishes, carrots, and strawberries
in the spring; herbs, tomatoes, and cucumbers all through the
summer; beets, spinach, and even potatoes in autumn. By focusing on
containers, trellises, and raised beds, Master Gardener Mary
Moss-Sprague has improved upon traditional gardening by developing
ways to grow plants that produce large amounts of food enough for
canning and other preservation in small vertical spaces. New
gardeners will find basic planting and growing information for a
wide range of vegetables and herbs. Experienced growers will find
economical, space- and energy-saving ideas. In addition to vertical
gardening techniques, there are tips on overwintering plants and
details on sustainable and eco-friendly gardening practices.
Step-by-step illustrations and supply lists of inexpensive
materials make projects like building a trellis or constructing a
raised bed using straw bales accessible to everyone, regardless of
ability or skill. There s even a chapter on installing a micro-drip
irrigation system a very helpful innovation that eliminates the
need for heavy hand-held watering devices. Use this great reference
for inspiration and instruction on sustainable and economical
gardening practices and techniques."
