Summary

"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.

  • What's Out of Order Here? - Illness and Familiy Constellations - cover

    What's Out of Order Here? -...

    "What makes this book special is the richness of the illustrations of how symptoms of illness embody concrete events in a family and how family constellations can bring this to light with a respect that allows symptoms to recede and disappear. As far as I am aware, this has never before been identified and illustrated so clearly. This book is a first class pioneering effort. Alongside new insights, it also details the concrete steps that have led to new and often surprising resolutions."
    
    Bert Hellinger
    
    When a machine is out of order, we look for the broken part and attempt repairs. When something goes awry with the human mind, body and spirit, we need to look with a more holistic view for solutions. This book presents the experiences of a physician and psychotherapist who has gone far beyond the 'parts repair' approach to medical treatment to look not only at the whole person, but also the entire family system using the method of family constellations.
    
    The book is comprised of two parts. The first is a basic explanation of the approach, which was first developed by Bert Hellinger. In the second part of the book, practical applications of the method are documented in a wide variety of case studies. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and restore a more health-supporting order.
    
    This report on the method of family constellations is a fascinating trip through theory and practice that offers a new concept of healing for lay readers as well as professionals.
    The Authors:
    Ilse Kutschera, M. D., born in Vienna, Austria in 1936, studied medicine in Graz. She worked as a physician until 1998, when she retired from her position as head of a rehabilitation clinic to devote her time to her private psychotherapy practice. During her career, she had developed a keen interest in psychotherapy and trained in various approaches including primal therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, NLP and Bert Hellinger's constellation work. This book is an expression of her interest in integrating psychotherapy and classical medicine.
    Christine Brugger, born in Germany in 1962, is head of a radio station in the East Tyrol in Austria. Through her friendship with Dr Kutschera, she became interested in writing about constellation work in the medical field. The book is the result of many interviews, discussions and recorded case histories.

    Two of the world's greatest crises, systemic racism and environmental destruction, share the same origin story. The two are rooted in economic forces that exploit and oppress both people and land. 
     
     
     
    Pastor David Swanson shows how we have failed our God-given duty as caretakers of creation and how that failure has resulted in the exploitation of people and the extraction of natural resources. Racial and ecological injustice share the same root cause—greed—that turns people and the natural world into commodities that are only valued for their utility. Yet Christians have the capacity to live in a way that nurtures racial and environmental justice simultaneously, honoring people and places in dynamic relationship with our Creator God. Swanson shows how we can become communities of caretakers, the way to restore our relationship with creation and each other, and the holistic justice that can result.

    Ancient Greece: Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. 
    Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. 
    Ancient Egypt: When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization. 
    Ancient Egypt was a North African society that grew in the lower banks of the Nile River, in what's now the nation of Egypt. Following ancient Egypt, old Egyptian civilization culminated circa 3100 BC (according to basic Egyptian chronology) with Menes' political marriage of Upper and Lower Egypt (usually related to Narmer). The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age formed a series of steady kingdoms split up by periods of relative instability called Intermediate Durations.

    Having sailed with Sir Francis Drake, swashbuckling privateer Rodney Hawkhurst yearns for a galleon of his own with which to plunder the Spanish Main in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Seeking investment from Sir Harry Gillingham, he has a fleeting encounter with an elfin, tomboyish golden-red-haired beauty ? Sir Harry?s youngest daughter Lizbeth ? and is bewitched by her limpid green eyes. Yet it is fair and golden-haired elder sister Phillida with whom he first falls in love... Granted his finances on the condition that Sir Harry?s weak, possibly even traitorous son sails with him in the hope that the mission will make him a man, Rodney embarks on a voyage of blood, honour and glory in which he gains great riches but loses his heart, not once, but twice. The risks are great but so are the rewards: wealth beyond compare and, as Rodney finally discovers, a greater, deeper, more passionate love than he ever imagined possible.

    Mysterious Mass Disappearances

    This book is all about mass disappearances which have occurred in history. 
     These events run the gamut from entire villages whose inhabitants disappeared to a flight of military planes gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle. 
     Many ships have disappeared so I only cover a few of the most notorious ones.  
     I also do not usually cover missing families or where just several people have gone absent. 
     It is much more interesting to me if an entire army became lost and missing or strange things happened to a group which has become a big mystery. 
     There are also some recent missing persons mysteries since these events happen even in the modern age.
