Summary

"Vinland Map" explores the controversial artifact that could rewrite the history of transatlantic exploration, challenging the established timeline of Columbus's arrival in America. The book meticulously examines the map's physical composition, dating, and linguistic features to determine its authenticity and significance related to Norse exploration. Readers will discover how scientific dating techniques, like carbon dating, have been applied to the map and how linguistic analysis compares its inscriptions to known Norse texts to uncover inconsistencies. The book presents a balanced and critical assessment of the available evidence, building toward a conclusion about the map's creation date and origin. It delves into medieval cartography and Norse sagas to provide context, illustrating the complexities of analyzing such a historically significant artifact. The authors use an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on chemistry, archaeology, history, and linguistics to investigate the map's mysteries. Structured to guide readers through a logical inquiry, "Vinland Map" begins by introducing the artifact and its historical context. Later chapters focus on scientific analyses, like the composition of the ink, the results of carbon dating, and the linguistic analysis of inscriptions. It culminates in a comprehensive assessment of all evidence, weighing arguments for and against the map's authenticity and offering a reasoned conclusion based on the available data.

I came to the island to study their culture, but they’re teaching me about myself. These rituals…what are they doing to me?! 
The warriors spilled their seed into a bowl. They made me kneel before the tribe and drink it down. 
They say I’ve been chosen by the volcano god. I’m to climb the mountain and enter the sacred temple. The strongest warrior in the tribe will accompany me. He’ll represent a deity during our final rites. 
A deity who feeds on men like me.

    Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

    Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field.
