Sinopsis

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.
 
The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history.
 
In this book, you will discover:

-  The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence 
-  The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa, and his dynasty spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe 
-  How the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North America 
-  Sweden's revolutionary war tactics and how they led to victories on the battlefield 
-  Why Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutrality 
-  The hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWII 
-  And much more!

What are you hiding? 
Chances are there is something about you that makes you different, that makes you feel you don’t belong. Many of us hide—our ethnicity, sexuality, mental health, disability, religion…the list goes on. The diversity and inclusion movement has emboldened some to come out of the shadows. But too often, disability is not included in that conversation. 
Ruth Rathblott was born with a limb difference. In her compelling and intimate memoir, she recounts the exhausting and often lonely years she spent overachieving and trying to hide her disability before she learned to unhide. She takes us on a journey of self-discovery: discovering her difference, being taught to hide it, and ultimately finding self-acceptance and connection with others. 
This book will show you how to build a world of true acceptance, inclusion, and belonging. By the end, you will understand the need to:Own your difference—it’s your greatest gift!Find connection and community by allowing others in to support youCreate inclusive conversations that allow for curiosity and empathyRecognize why representation is essential to creating an inclusive environmentRealize the power of sharing your story 
Singlehandedly is a book for all of us who have been hiding our differences and want to find freedom, for leaders who want to build more inclusive teams, and for diversity and inclusion directors committed to expanding the diversity conversation to include everyone.
