The Relations between Ancient Russia and Scandinavia, first
published in 1877, by the Danish philologist, Vilhelm Thomsen
(1842-1927), contains Thomsen's three lectures on the origins of
the Russian state. The lectures were given at the Taylor
Institution, Oxford, in May 1876. The first lecture covers the
ethnic background of ancient Russia and its earliest political
institutions and the second and third lectures investigate Russia's
Scandinavian origins. Thomsen demonstrated and explored the
interlinked histories of Russia and Scandinavia by comparative
examinations of Russian and the Scandinavian languages. By this
analysis, Thomsen was able to demonstrate the importance of the
Scandinavian element in the earliest origins of Russian culture,
identity, political institutions and language. The work is an
outstanding piece of philological investigation and a key text in
early Russian cultural, linguistic and political history. It
continues to be relevant to the advanced student of Russian
language and early Russian history.

Tissue engineering is an extremely important area. It generally
involves the use of materials and cells with the goal of trying to
understand tissue function and some day enabling virtually any
tissue or organ on the body to be made de novo. To achieve this
very important long-range objective requires research in many
areas. This book... addresses many of these important topics, and
the chapters provide a foundation for the understanding and
development of the cell-based systems needed for tissue
engineering
.
"Dr. Robert S. Langer
Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from
his Foreword to this book"
