      Sauna – The Essence of Finland is a visual feast—an engaging panorama view of Finnish sauna culture and spirit. Expressive photographs lead the reader into the peculiarities of the steam-stricken Finns: from sauna-yoga to peat sauna treatments; from lakeside saunas to sauna-bathing in a gondola ski-lift or a telephone booth! Like the sauna itself, this book engages all the senses: the scent of a birch sauna-whisk can be found on the pages, along with sauna-bathing tips and even recipes. But the leading role is played by the Finns’ age-old relationship with the sauna—a fountain of well-being that has an indisputable place in the heart of every Finn.

      Elämää tunturien kupeessa / Life by the Fells

      Tunturi, jonka kupeissa on kaksi elävää kylää. Tunturi, jolta aukeaa erämaan elämä ja valon vaihtelu. Kirja, joka kutoo yhteen luonnon ja ihmisen; menneen ja nykyisen; arjen ja juhlan. Kirja, joka avaa ovia ylläsläiseen elämään ja houkuttelee retkille tarinoiden tuntureille. Näe, lue, koe ja elä oma tarinasi todeksi. A fell with two lively adjacent villages. A fell from where the life and the ever-changing light of the wilderness open up with all their splendour. A book where nature and man, the past and the present, the workdays and the holidays are all interwoven. A book that invites you for a hike along tracks paved with tales of life in Ylläs. See, read and live out your own story of the fells.
