56°n 10°e denmark (danish: danmark, pronounced [ˈtænmɑk] (listen)) is a nordic constituent country in northern europe.it is the metropolitan part of and most populous constituent of the kingdom of denmark, a constitutionally unitary state that includes the autonomous territories of the faroe islands and greenland in the north atlantic ocean.metropolitan denmark is the southernmost of the scandinavian countries, lying south-west and south (bornholm and ertholmene) of sweden, south of norway, and north of germany, with which it shares a short and only land border.as of 2013, the kingdom of denmark, including the faroe islands and greenland, has a total of 1,419 islands above 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft); 443 of which have been named and of which 78 are inhabited.spanning a total area of 42,943 km2 (16,580 sq mi), metropolitan denmark consists of the northern part of the jutland peninsula and an archipelago of 406 islands.of these, the most populated island is zealand, on which the capital copenhagen is situated, followed by funen, the north jutlandic island, and amager.denmark's geography is characterised by flat, arable land, sandy coasts, low elevation, and a temperate climate.it had a population of 5.935 million (1 february 2023), of which 800,000 (2 million in the wider area) live in the capital and largest city, copenhagen.denmark exercises hegemonic influence in the danish realm, devolving powers to handle internal affairs.home rule was established in the faroe islands in 1948 and in greenland in 1979; the latter obtained further autonomy in 2009.the unified kingdom of denmark emerged in the eighth century as a proficient maritime power amid the struggle for control of the baltic sea.in 1397, it joined norway and sweden to form the kalmar union, which persisted until the latter's secession in 1523.the remaining kingdom of denmark–norway endured a series of wars in the 17th century that resulted in further territorial cessions to the swedish empire.following the napoleonic wars, norway was absorbed into sweden, leaving denmark with the faroe islands, greenland, and iceland.a surge of nationalist movements in the 19th century were defeated in the first schleswig war of 1848, though the second schleswig war of 1864 resulted in further territorial losses to prussia.the period saw the adoption of the constitution of denmark on 5 june 1849, ending the absolute monarchy that was established in 1660 and introducing the current parliamentary system.an industrialised exporter of agricultural produce in the second half of the 19th century, denmark introduced social and labour-market reforms in the early 20th century, which formed the basis for the present welfare state model and advanced mixed economy.denmark remained neutral during world war i but regained the northern half of schleswig in 1920.danish neutrality was violated in world war ii following a swift german invasion in april 1940.during occupation, a resistance movement emerged in 1943 while iceland declared independence in 1944; denmark was liberated in may 1945.soviet forces left bornholm 5 april 1946.in 1973, denmark, together with greenland but not the faroes, became a member of what is now the european union, but negotiated certain opt-outs, such as retaining its own currency, the krone.denmark is a developed country with a high standard of living.denmark is a founding member of nato, the nordic council, the oecd, osce, and the united nations; it is also part of the schengen area.denmark maintains close political, cultural, and linguistic ties with its scandinavian neighbours, with the danish language being partially mutually intelligible with both norwegian and swedish.this is centred primarily on the prefix 'dan' and whether it refers to the dani or a historical person dan and the exact meaning of the -'mark' ending. | yowing | unspotted | vertebrodymus <tsp> yowing | asterinidae | knuffe | no related information |

this page provides lists of best-selling books and book series to date and in any language.'best-selling' refers to the estimated number of copies sold of each book, rather than the number of books printed or currently owned.comics and textbooks are not included in this list.the books are listed according to the highest sales estimate as reported in reliable, independent sources.this list is incomplete because there are many books, such as the count of monte cristo by alexandre dumas, don quixote by miguel de cervantes, and the lord of the rings (which has been sold as both a trilogy of books, the fellowship of the ring, the two towers, and the return of the king, and as a single issue) by j. r. r. tolkien, that lack comprehensive sales figures.according to guinness world records as of 1995, the bible is the best-selling book of all time with an estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed.sales estimates for other printed religious texts include at least 800 million copies for the qur'an and 190 million copies for the book of mormon.among non-religious texts, the quotations from chairman mao tse-tung, also known as the little red book, has produced a wide array of sales and distribution figures—with estimates ranging from 800 million to over 6.5 billion printed volumes.some claim the distribution ran into the 'billions' and some cite 'over a billion' official volumes between 1966 and 1969 alone as well as 'untold numbers of unofficial local reprints and unofficial translations'.exact print figures for these and other books may also be missing or unreliable since these kinds of books may be produced by many different and unrelated publishers, in some cases over many centuries.all books of a religious, ideological, philosophical or political nature have thus been excluded from the below lists of best-selling books for these reasons.having sold more than 600 million copies worldwide, harry potter by j. k. rowling is the best-selling book series in history.the first novel in the series, harry potter and the philosopher's stone, has sold in excess of 120 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books of all time.as of june 2017, the series has been translated into 85 languages, placing harry potter among history's most translated literary works.the last four books in the series consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books of all time, where the final installment, harry potter and the deathly hallows, sold roughly fifteen million copies worldwide within twenty-four hours of its release.with twelve million books printed in the first us run, it also holds the record for the highest initial print run for any book in history.similarly, the jerry cotton series has sold over 300 million copies, but most of these were in magazine format.the figures given for some books are for the number printed instead of confirmed sales. | tor books | parentcompany | macmillan publishers | exact print figures for these and other books may also be missing or unreliable since these kinds of books may be produced by many different and unrelated publishers, in some cases over many centuries. |

the flemish region (dutch: vlaams gewest, pronounced [ˌvlaːms xəˈʋɛst] (listen)), usually simply referred to as flanders (dutch: vlaanderen [ˈvlaːndərə(n)] (listen)) is one of the three regions of belgium—alongside the walloon region and the brussels-capital region.covering the northern portion of the country, the flemish region is primarily dutch-speaking.with an area of 13,522 km2 (5,221 sq mi), it accounts for only 45% of belgium's territory, but 57% of its population.it is one of the most densely populated regions of europe with around 490/km2 (1,300/sq mi).the flemish region is distinct from the flemish community: the latter encompasses both the inhabitants of the flemish region and the dutch-speaking minority living in the brussels-capital region.thus, the current flemish authorities (flemish parliament and flemish government) represent all the flemish people, including those living in the brussels-capital region.hence, the flemish region is governed by the flemish community institutions.however, members of the flemish community parliament elected in the brussels-capital region have no right to vote on flemish regional affairs.the seat of the flemish parliament is located in brussels, which is an enclave within – but not part of – the flemish region, being specified that the brussels-capital region is established as an administrative region of belgium in its own right.in contrast, the walloon parliament has established its parliament in the territory of wallonia, specifically in the city of namur, namur province.many enterprises work closely with local knowledge and research centres to develop new products and services.the gross domestic product (gdp) of the region was 270 billion € in 2018, accounting for 59% of belgium's economic output.gdp per capita adjusted for purchasing power was 36,300 € or 136% of the eu27 average in the same year.it consists of buses and trams.tec is the equivalent company in wallonia, and mivb-stib in brussels.the railway network run by the nmbs, however, is a federal responsibility.the flemish government is also responsible for about 500 kilometers of regional roads (dutch: gewestwegen) and about 900 kilometers of highways in the territory of the flemish region.other types of roads are provincial roads and municipal roads.approximately 5,500,000 people live in the area.the dialect cluster spoken in the region is sometimes colloquially referred to as flemish (vlaams), flemish dutch (vlaams-nederlands), belgian dutch (belgisch-nederlands), or southern dutch (zuid-nederlands).spelling and grammar are regulated by a single authority, the dutch language union (nederlandse taalunie), comprising a committee of ministers of the flemish and dutch governments, their advisory council of appointed experts, a controlling commission of 22 parliamentarians, and a secretariat.the term flemish can be applied to the dutch spoken in flanders; it shows many regional and local variations.the main dialect groups include west flemish, east flemish, brabantian and limburgish.french (specifically belgian french) may also be used in the flemish region for certain administrative purposes in a limited number of the so-called 'municipalities with language facilities' around the brussels-capital region and on the border with wallonia.these 'rim municipalities' around brussels are drogenbos, kraainem, linkebeek, sint-genesius-rode, wemmel and wezembeek-oppem.brussels was originally a dutch-speaking city (brabantian dialect to be exact), but it was francised in the 19th and 20th centuries and is now officially bilingual in french and dutch (although largely french-speaking in practice).municipalities with language facilities on the border with wallonia are bever (french: biévène), herstappe, mesen (french: messines), ronse (french: renaix), spiere-helkijn (french: espierres-helchin), and voeren (french: fourons).(in english) flanders online (also in french, german and dutch).toerisme vlaanderen (in french) french flanders archived 19 february 2007 at the wayback machine (in dutch) frans-vlaanderen (in dutch) the flemish region reaches 6 million inhabitants | flemish region | country | belgium | the flemish region (dutch: vlaams gewest, pronounced [ˌvlaːms xəˈʋɛst] (listen)), usually simply referred to as flanders (dutch: vlaanderen [ˈvlaːndərə(n)] (listen)) is one of the three regions of belgium—alongside the walloon region and the brussels-capital region.the seat of the flemish parliament is located in brussels, which is an enclave within – but not part of – the flemish region, being specified that the brussels-capital region is established as an administrative region of belgium in its own right.the gross domestic product (gdp) of the region was 270 billion € in 2018, accounting for 59% of belgium's economic output. |

abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.he represented connecticut in the united states house of representatives and senate and was the 80th governor of connecticut and secretary of health, education, and welfare in president john f. kennedy's cabinet.he was connecticut's first and to date only jewish governor.ribicoff's relatively poor parents valued education and insisted that all his earnings from part-time boyhood jobs go toward his future schooling.after high school, he worked for a year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.during that time, he served on the foreign affairs committee, a position usually reserved for members with more seniority, and was a mostly loyal supporter of the foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in enfield, connecticut, arguing that the money was better spent on military needs and foreign policy initiatives such as the marshall plan.in 1952 he made an unsuccessful bid for election to fill a vacancy in the united states senate, losing to prescott bush.as governor (1955–1961), ribicoff soon faced the challenge of rebuilding his state in the wake of devastating floods that occurred in the late summer and fall of 1955, and he successfully led bipartisan efforts to aid damaged areas.ribicoff then successfully argued for increased state spending on schools and welfare programs.he also supported an amendment to the state constitution that enhanced the governing powers of local municipalities.easily reelected in 1958, ribicoff had by now become active on the national political scene.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign.he reportedly declined the position of attorney general for fear that he might create needless controversy within the emerging civil rights movement because he was jewish, and he instead chose to be secretary of health, education, and welfare (hew).although he managed to secure a revision of the 1935 social security act that liberalized requirements for aid to dependent children, ribicoff was unable to gain approval for the administration's medicare and school aid bills.eventually, he tired of attempting to manage the department, whose very size made it, in his opinion, unmanageable.ribicoff reflected that he had sought out the position of hew secretary mainly out of concern for education and 'realized that the problems of health and welfare were so overriding that education was relegated to the back burner' during his tenure. | abraham a ribicoff | birthplace | connecticut | abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut. |
