Local History Book
A local history book (also known as a (rural) farm book or local chronicle; no, bygdebok), is a Norwegian publication genre describing the history and population of one or more rural settlements. Many local history books feature a short history of each farm and a chronology of its owners dating back several generations or centuries. Norwegian local history books have usually been published under the auspices of or in collaboration with the municipality. Such local history books began being published in Norway around 1910 starting with the work of Lorens Berg, but one can trace the roots of the phenomenon back to the topographic literature of the Enlightenment. Local history books can be divided into three main categories, and many local history books contain volumes of several types: * General rural and cultural history; * Topic-based rural history with chapters on building practices, geology, dialects, school, churches, and the like; and * Farm history and genealogy history, whe ...

People From Sandefjord
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
