Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this review essay, the author presents and discusses current research on the history of atheism, secularism, and humanism, specifically focusing on seven recent monographs. Based on these works, he paints a picture of where this research field stands today while also offering some suggestions regarding in which direction research on this topic ought to move in the future. The author stresses that even though the research discussed spans many geographical areas and time periods, it constitutes a coherent research field. He underlines how context matters, stressing the importance of paying attention to specific religious contexts. He emphasizes the need for more English-language research on cases other than the US and the UK and the need for more comparative, entangled, and global histories. He welcomes the trend of 20th-century topics in a field dominated by earlier centuries. Finally, he points out how research on this topic could enrichen nearby fields, specifically discussing which synergies may be found in relation to the history of knowledge.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The study of the remnants of material cultures in northern regions is an important branch of knowledge concerning our past. It constitutes a key area in what is more generally called Heritage Studies that emerges from diverse disciplinary fields, in particular public history, memory studies, museology, cultural heritage, tourism studies, architecture and planning, conservation, as well as cultural geography, sociology, cultural studies and policy, anthropology, archaeology and ethnomusicology, artistic research and artistic practices. In different ways both books under review here belong to this genre. The first one deals with the role of a leading Swedish geoscientist who from 1895 onwards explored and mapped what was to become a major national park, Sarek in Northern Sweden. Apart from the history of various disciplines involved in the construction of Sarek as a unique geographical space and land of science and tourism, the text is richly illustrated with images of scientific instruments now found in museums and photographs of early research stations some of which still exist in alpine and mountainous terrain. The second book concerns an enigmatic figure that was active at about the same time, engaged in surveying and mining in several parts of the world. Material traces of his activities, abandoned mines, half-attempted mine workings and marble quarries, huts and miners’ living quarters, machinery typical of the early twentieth century, rusty tools but also documents in archives, poetry and newspaper articles tell a tale of a legendary and charismatic personality who managed to raise lots of money to support risky ventures that seldom paid off. Material traces abound in Svalbard where his legacy is fairly well known. Nowadays some of the artefacts from a dramatic past are popular attractions on polar tourist circuits.
