“New Sweden ‘88: 350 Years of Friendship” is much more than a review of th year’s events. It is a celebration of Swedish/American relations, of dynamism and ingenuity, of an exciting intercultural exhchange. The book covers a broad panorama, ranging from the landing of Swedish colonsts on the banks of the Delaware River to the landing of American astronauts on the moon - with a Hasselblad camera. Packed with historical detail and lavishly illustrated, this volume looks forward as well as back. Major events such as the U.S. Royal Tour by Their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, while emphasizing a long historical tradition, also served to focus attention on modern industrial Sweden, a theme supported by chapters on Science & Technology, Swedish Design and the Media. As inventors of the ball bearing, the adjustable wrench and the ubiqiuitous zipper, Swedes have a proud tradition to maintain: this book is proof that this tradition is alive and well!
