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.

National Parks Forever - Fifty...

Jonathan B. Jarvis, T. Destry...

Two leaders of the National Park Service provide a front-row seat to the disastrous impact of partisan politics over the past fifty years—and offer a bold vision for the parks’ future.
The US National Parks, what environmentalist and historian Wallace Stegner called America’s “best idea,” are under siege. Since 1972, partisan political appointees in the Department of the Interior have offered two conflicting views of the National Park Service (NPS): one vision emphasizes preservation and science-based decision-making, and another prioritizes economic benefits and privatization. These politically driven shifts represent a pernicious, existential threat to the very future of our parks.
For the past fifty years, brothers Jonathan B. and T. Destry Jarvis have worked both within and outside NPS as leaders and advocates. National Parks Forever interweaves their two voices to show how our parks must be protected from those who would open them to economic exploitation, while still allowing generations to explore and learn in them. Their history also details how Congress and administration appointees have used budget and staffing cuts to sabotage NPS’s ability to manage the parks and even threatened their existence. Drawing on their experience, Jarvis and Jarvis make a bold and compelling proposal: that it is time for NPS to be removed from the Department of the Interior and made an independent agency, similar to the Smithsonian Institution, giving NPS leaders the ability to manage park resources and plan our parks’ protection, priorities, and future.

We See Things They’ll Never See...

Chantelle Jessica Lewis, Jason...

Ableism is embedded in our daily lives. Social life, education, work, and, especially, mental health have been organized around rigid ideas of the "ideal" and the "normal" citizen—ideas that always exclude neurodiversity. In this pathbreaking book, Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday argue that the neurodiversity movement offers ways to mobilize against not only ableism but also other "isms" including racism and capitalism. By focusing on the prevalence of neurotypical dominance and power—or "neurotypical hegemony"—Lewis and Arday show the ways that neurotypical dominance has often been used to justify and normalize some of our more harmful cultures around productivity and value.Throughout the book, Lewis and Arday use theories of Blackness, feminism, class, and neurodivergence to offer a vision of solidarities across differences. They show that race, class, ethnicity, gender, and nation are just some of the social structures for which the politics of neurodiversity can produce an emancipatory analysis. This is a book about applying social theory in practice, taking seriously how academic research and theory can be used outside of academic spaces. With We See Things They’ll Never See, Lewis and Arday issue a call to action—and a call for understanding, acceptance, and humility.
