Beschreibung

"Arctic Vikings" unveils the extraordinary story of Norse expansion into the Arctic, highlighting their remarkable survival strategies and adaptations to extreme climates. Beyond the common perception of Vikings as raiders, this book shows how they navigated icy seas using advanced Viking technology and established settlements in seemingly uninhabitable landscapes. It explores how they managed resources, adapted their culture, and interacted with indigenous populations, offering a unique perspective on human resilience.

 
The book examines the Viking Age through the lens of environmental science and archaeology, detailing their navigational techniques, resource management, and cultural adaptations. For example, the book explores how they utilized detailed environmental knowledge to hunt, fish, and even attempt agriculture in regions like Iceland and Greenland. By analyzing archaeological findings and Norse sagas, "Arctic Vikings" presents a comprehensive view of their Arctic endeavors, challenging simplified narratives of Viking expansion.

 
Structured to provide a holistic understanding, the book progresses from establishing the historical context of the Viking Age to exploring their settlements in key Arctic regions. Each chapter delves into specific environmental conditions and adaptive strategies.

 
Ultimately, "Arctic Vikings" provides valuable lessons for contemporary challenges related to climate change and resource management, because it emphasizes the ingenuity required to thrive in harsh environments.

    'Elegant, wild, poised and explosive' Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast
    When Jet McDonald cycled four thousand miles to India and back, he didn't want to write a straightforward travel book. He wanted to go on an imaginative journey.
    Mind is the Ride takes the reader on a physical and intellectual adventure from West to East using the components of a bike as a metaphor for philosophy, which is woven into the cyclist's experience. Each chapter is based around a single component, and as Jet travels he adds new parts and new philosophies until the bike is 'built'; the ride to India is completed; and the relationship between mind, body and bicycle made apparent.
    The age of the travelogue is over: today we need to travel inwardly to see the world with fresh eyes. Mind is the Ride is a pedal-powered antidote to the petrol-driven philosophies of the past.

    Undeniably, the world and its people desperately need more hope. Our friends, foes, family, and fellows are all experiencing challenging times and fighting their own battles, and author Peter Bailey is no exception. From his current vantage point as a successful influence in the leadership and human improvement field, one might assume he looks back on his life (the addiction, the recovery, the travel, the heartbreak, the love, the grief) with difficulty and hesitance. Rather, it is exactly this kind of reflection that helped him take on the role in his story he was meant to play: the hero. 
    In his debut book, The Epic of You, Bailey uses Joseph Campbell’s Heroic Journey as a framework to plot out your past and navigate your future. More than a plot device or literary standard, Bailey proves the Hero’s Journey is an effective and transformative life map by . . . 
    • detailing and exemplifying his own epic journey, 
    • analyzing the practical applications of Campbell’s framework, 
    • and guiding readers through their reflective process in the Heroic Journey Guidebook section. 
    Far more than the standard self-help text, this book is a personal story, a comprehensive methodology, and a step-by-step guide to wholeness. If you’re ready to rewrite your personal mythos and rekindle your hope, this book is for you.
