Hardback. Condición: New. Frederik V reigned over Denmark-Norway from 1746 until his death in 1766. For the most part he was a ruler in name only however, as he had developed a pattern of alcohol abuse as a young man that rendered him unable to administer his power in an independent fashion. He therefore had to transfer power to… competent ministers and in particular to his High Court Marshal, Adam Gottlob Moltke, who functioned as the real head of state throughout Frederik V's entire reign. The kingdom experienced a general economic upswing during this period, and the court came to be characterised by elegant splendour, while trade and industry benefitted from Denmark-Norway's policy of neutrality toward warring parties. Moltke organized the Construction of the palace quarter of Amalienborg and Frederiksstaden in honour of the King.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.

Hardback. Condición: New. Frederik IV reigned from 1699 until 1730. None of the other absolute monarchs in Danish history ruled in as headstrong a fashion as he did. Frederik IV took it upon himself to make as many of the realm's decisions as possible, and this worked remarkably well. With the help of Tordenskjold, he brought De…nmark-Norway safely through the bloody Great Northern War, which would be Denmark's final showdown with its arch-enemy Sweden. In his love life, too, he was extremely headstrong - he abducted his beloved Anna Sophie Reventlow, with whom he entered into a morganatic marriage and whom he later made his Queen.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.

Paperback. Condición: New. The wicked problems of our time - climate change, migration, inequality, productivity, and mental health - remain stubbornly unresolved in Western democracies. It's time for a new way to puzzle. This book takes the reader on a journey from London to Berlin, and from Rome to Washington DC and Copenhagen…, to discover why modern politics keeps breaking down. We're tackling twenty-first century problems with twentiethcentury ideas and nineteenth-century institutions. In search of answers, the author gate-crashes a Conservative party at an English estate, visits a stressed-out German minister at his Mallorcan holiday home, and listens in on power gossip in Washington DC's restaurant scene. The Puzzle State offers one of the most engaging and thoughtful analyses of Western democracies in recent years. Based on over 100 interviews with top political players, surveys conducted across five countries, and stories of high-profile policy failures, it uncovers a missing link in reform efforts: the absence of ongoing feedback loops between decision-makers and frontline practitioners in schools, hospitals, and companies. But there is a way forward. The author introduces the concept of the Puzzle State, which uses collective intelligence and AI to (re)connect politicians with the people implementing reforms on the ground. The Puzzle State tackles highprofile wicked problems and enables policies to adapt as they meet messy realities. No one holds all the pieces in the Puzzle State. The feedback loop must cut across all sectors - from civil society to corporations - just like solving a complex puzzle requires commitment, cooperation, and creativity.

Hardback. Condición: New. Unbounded Jews is the story of Denmark's (failed) engagement and exchange with Morocco in the 18th century. The story is told through two Jewish family clans, Sumbel and Buzaglo, whose members were adventurers, cosmopolitans, merchants, and diplomats. Denmark became the first country with which the sult…an made a trade and peace treaty in 1753, and Denmark played a central role in the African country's efforts to establish diplomatic relations and trade with other European countries.The 18th century was marked by strong competition among the European powers for colonies and trade with overseas countries.

Hardback. Condición: New. There are many romantic notions regarding the Danish West Indies, and surely such notions played a part in convincing thousands of Danish men to let themselves be recruited and become soldiers or gendarmes serving in the Caribbean region. In 1755, the Danish state took over the islands from the trading…company Vestindisk-Guineisk Kompagni, the West Indian-Guinea Company, and the first soldiers were sent out the same year. After this, with the exception of two brief periods of British military occupation in times of war early in the nineteenth century, the Danish authorities maintained a military presence on the islands until they were sold to the United States in 1917 and changed their name to the Virgin Islands of the United States.Service in the West Indies was characterized by high mortality, not least as result of various tropical diseases, and many of the soldiers ended up regretting signing their contracts. This book describes the organization of the military, the individuals who were hired and how they were recruited, their uniforms and equipment, their lodgings, and their experiences during their service. For the most part, serviee in the Danish West Indies did not offer great challenges, and boredom and homesickness were kept at bay with local rum, soldiers in the islands did confront serious situations several times.
