In this pioneering volume, a group of "third generation" scholars
subject the contested ligature between Finland and the Holocaust to
critique. Finland's Holocaust: Silences of History traces the
implications of antisemitism in Finland in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, through Finland's alliance with the
Third Reich during much of World War II, to the complex negotiation
with its wartime past. Taking up a range of issues - from cultural
history, folklore, the arts, and sports, to the interpretation of
military and national history - this collection examines how modern
Finnish memory and the writing of history have both engaged and
evaded the figure of the Holocaust. As the first English-language
introduction to the changing position of Finland in contemporary
international Holocaust historiography, Finland's Holocaust is
essential reading for any student of antisemitism and the
Holocaust, providing a critical perspective on the role of
political and cultural historiography in modern Finland.
Finland's Holocaust considers antisemitism and the figure of the
Holocaust in today's Finland. Taking up a range of issues - from
cultural history, folklore, and sports, to the interpretation of
military and national history - this collection examines how the
writing of history has engaged and evaded the figure of the
Holocaust.
The preceding decade has seen the production of many cancer at
lases. As with other techniques of descriptive epidemiology, these
atlases have proved valuable in identifying areas for further re
sear~h employing the methods of analytical epidemiology. How ever,
the various cancer atlases produceq to date have failed to pro vide
a common format of presentation, which has limited their
comparability and frustrated in a large measure any attempt to
compare risks across national boundaries, boundaries which in terms
of environmental exposures may have little meaning. In this volume,
many features of cancer atlases are presented and there are
discussions on the areas where moves towards standardization could
greatly increase the utility of the finished product. In contrast
to topographic maps, i. e., representations of natural and man-made
features on the surface of the earth, thematic maps concentrate on
displaying the geographical occurrence and varia tion of a single
phenomenon - the "theme" of the map. The link between thematic and
base mapping is rather strong as the themat ic information to be
depicted is of greater value if displayed on an accurate base map.
Further, the thematic map generally uses statis tical data which
are frequently related to internal administrative boundaries for
enumeration. The major reason for constructing a thematic map is to
discover the spatial structure of the theme of the map and to then
relate the structure to some aspects of the under lying
environment.
This important new reference book on human cancer provides a global
picture of the epidemiology of cancer and its environmental causes.
By summarising on a cancer-by-cancer basis geographical,
environmental and ethical factors, the volume collates a wealth of
information which, taken together, provides valuable insights into
the causes of cancer and scope for its elimination and control. The
contents include: (1) general epidemiological methods; (2) a review
of known or suspected causes; (3) a detailed review of specific
cancers; (4) a brief review of legal and ethical implications. The
bibliography concentrates on recent key references and reviews.
