<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Dear DINO-members,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I would like to draw your attention to a forthcoming book about contemporary Greenland. The book is written in German and thus for the first time conveying transdisciplinary scholarly knowledge about Greenland to a broader German-speaking public. It will come out at Budrich UniPress in spring 2016. The title is "Grönland - Kontinuitäten und Brüche im Leben der Menschen in der Arktis".</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Editor Frank Sowa is currently trying to refinance the book project by crowdfunding. You can support the project by e.g. donating a minor amount of money (EUR 8,00) or by preordering the book at a reduced price (EUR 33,00). How about giving your University libraries a hint? It would be highly appreciated!</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You will find all the relevant information about the book and the crowdfunding here:</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Abstract:<br />Greenland is on its way to become a small Nordic nation. With the implementation of self-government (Selvstyre) in 2009, Greenlandic elites continued the process of gradual independence from the Kingdom of Denmark, a development that had begun in the early 1970s, when a "more Greenlandic Greenland" was demanded by Greenland students who did not want to be "Northern Danes". This development has been accompanied by rapid social and cultural changes. Against this background, the book project aims to explore life in present Greenland and to find answers to the question of what is constant in the life of the Greenlandic people and what is subject to re-interpretations and changes.</span></div>
