520    "Where does Norwegian self-confident environmental well-
       wishing come from? Spanning thirty years of Norwegian 
       history, this book begins with the translation of Rachel 
       Carson's Silent Spring in 1962 and ends with Norwegians 
       attending the Earth Summit in 1992. It tells a story of 
       how scientists considered outdoor life and environmental 
       research to be superior. The Power of the Periphery was 
       that of a pristine, ideal natural environment contrasted 
       with the dirty center of society in need of change. At the
       local level that could manifest as an unspoiled mountain 
       contrasted with an overcrowded city. At the global level 
       it became a beautiful Norway contrasted with a polluted 
       troubled world. Peder Anker is following the footsteps of 
       the social anthropologist Fredrik Barth's students, the 
       ocean explorer Thor Heyerdahl, the archeologists Helge 
       Ingstad (who found Viking settlements in the United 
       States), the Deep Ecology movement that congregated around
       the philosopher Arne Næss, along with the "shallow" 
       ecologists Jørgen Randers (co-author of The Limits to 
       Growth), the Chair of the Brundtland Commission, Gro 
       Harlem Brundtland, and the United Nations Special Envoy on
       Climate Change, Jens Stoltenberg. They all provided 
       different visions of how Norway should be an environmental
       pioneer for the world"--|cProvided by publisher.
