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.

    In Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice, James G. Dwyer and Shawn F. Peters examine homeschooling’s history, its methods, and the fundamental questions at the root of the heated debate over whether and how the state should oversee and regulate it. The authors trace the evolution of homeschooling and the law relating to it from before America’s founding to the present day. In the process they analyze the many arguments made for and against it, and set them in the context of larger questions about school and education. They then tackle the question of regulation, and they do so within a rigorous moral framework, one that is constructed from a clear-eyed assessment of what rights and duties children, parents, and the state each possess. Viewing the question through that lens allows Dwyer and Peters to even-handedly evaluate the competing arguments and ultimately generate policy prescriptions. Homeschooling is the definitive study of a vexed question, one that ultimately affects all citizens, regardless of their educational background.

    Break Blow Burn and Make - A...

    From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

    Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
 
By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
 
This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.
