a search there on 'modellmakt' ("model power").
The initiative by Stein Bråten as for creating this
text-rich site, with main content supplied in 2007, was mainly
to make available some manuscripts which either were out of print
or which in original form hadn't been published (but rather reworked
into other books).
The manuscripts as here included are not the final proof form,
and script font is normalised to plain typewriter
font (without italics, bold or underline), with
a somewhat varying quality on the image reproduction
relative to the original. Please refer to the paper-printed
form also. Note that some of the included material
(such as images) may have other copyrights in addition
to the copyright of Stein Bråten.
