In 1972 UNESCO created the World Heritage Foundation, a program to identify and protect ôworld heritage sitesö, which are irresplaceable environments ranging from natural areas to whole urban centers. In Denmark, the Jelling burial mounds and one of the runic stones are striking examples of pagan Nordic culture, while the other runic stone and church illustrate the Christianization of the Danish people towards the middle of the tenth century. There are two sites in Finland, the Bronze Age Burial Site features more than thirty granite burial cairns, and Old Rauma which is one of the oldest harbours in Finland. Bryggen, The Rock Carvings of Alta, and R°ros are sites in Norway, and they show the beautiful houses made from wood, the thousands of paintings and engravings, and the exploitation of copper mines. In Sweden the six sites focus on the history of trading, a Church Village of Gammelstad, Engelsberg Ironworks, Hanseatic Town of Visby - a former viking site on the island of Gotland, the Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun, and Rock Carvings in Tanum. Each site is presented up close with color reproductions and a rich explanatory text., English, Year2002, Illust. B/W4, Illust. Color482, ISBN 8884913934, Code 5688. RETAIL ONLY.
