Synopsis

In "Canute the Great, 995 (circa)-1035, and the Rise of Danish Imperialism during the Viking Age," Laurence Marcellus Larson presents a meticulous examination of the life and rule of the influential Viking monarch Canute. Larson employs a scholarly narrative style, integrating a wealth of historical sources and archaeological evidence to create a vivid portrayal of Canute's empire, which extended beyond Denmark to include England and parts of Norway. The book situates Canute within the shifting power dynamics of the Viking Age, illuminating how his reign exemplified the triumphs and tribulations of a period characterized by conquest, cultural exchange, and the seeds of emerging nation-states. Laurence Marcellus Larson, a distinguished historian with a profound interest in Norse history and culture, draws on his extensive research in medieval studies to craft this compelling account. His academic background and rigorous scholarship allow Larson to connect Canute's achievements with broader themes of imperialism and identity during the Viking Age, reflecting on how Canute's legacy influenced subsequent generations in Northern Europe. Highly recommended for historians, students, and enthusiasts of medieval Europe, Larson's work is an indispensable text that not only chronicles the life of Canute the Great but also offers invaluable insights into the complexities of Viking imperialism and its enduring impact on European history.

    The Constitution in the Supreme Court: The Second Century traces the development of the Supreme Court from Chief Justice Fuller (1888-1910) to the retirement of Chief Justice Burger (1969-1986). Currie argues that the Court's work in its second century revolved around two issues: the constitutionality of the regulatory and spending programs adopted to ameliorate the hardships caused by the Industrial Revolution and the need to protect civil rights and liberties. Organizing the cases around the tenure of specific chief justices, Currie distinguishes among the different methods of constitutional exegesis, analyzes the various techniques of opinion writing, and evaluates the legal performance of different Courts. "Elegant and readable. Whether you are in favor of judicial restraint or judicial activism, whatever your feelings about the Warren Court, or the Renquist Court, this is a book that justifies serious study."—Robert Stevens, New York Times Book Review

    Liberalism as a Way of Life

    Where do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Conservatives are right about one thing: liberalism is the ideology of our times, as omnipresent as religion once was. Yet, as Alexandre Lefebvre argues in Liberalism as a Way of Life, many of us are liberal without fully realizing it—or grasping what it means. Misled into thinking that liberalism is confined to politics, we fail to recognize that it's the water we swim in, saturating every area of public and private life, shaping our psychological and spiritual outlooks, and influencing our moral and aesthetic values—our sense of what is right, wrong, good, bad, funny, worthwhile, and more. This eye-opening book shows how so many of us are liberal to the core, why liberalism provides the basis for a good life, and how we can make our lives better and happier by becoming more aware of, and more committed to, the beliefs we already hold. 
     
     
     
    A lively, engaging, and uplifting guide to living well, the liberal way, Liberalism as a Way of Life is filled with examples from television, movies, stand-up comedy, and social media—from Parks and Recreation and The Good Place to the Borat movies and Hannah Gadsby. Along the way, you'll also learn about seventeen benefits of being a liberal and practical exercises to increase these rewards.

    Dowding’s Despatch - The Leader...

    In September 1946, the London Gazette published a dispatch from Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh C T Dowding that was titled simply: The Battle of Britain. Written and submitted to the Air Ministry in 1941, this document became the very framework for the accepted Battle of Britain narrative which has been established across the following eighty years. Set out by the leader of the "Few" himself, its authoritative tone could surely be considered a definitive outline of the battle, how it was fought and the eventual outcome. It even retrospectively set the dates for the commencement and conclusion of the campaign. 
     
      
     
    In this work, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at Dowding's dispatch and analyzes the facts and details contained in that important document. He also puts "flesh on the bones" of the matters that the former commander-in-chief of RAF Fighter Command outlines, adding intriguing historical detail and perspective to the 1946 publication. Additionally, Andy looks at the behind-the-scenes machinations at the highest levels of government and Air Ministry before the dispatch finally saw the light of day. As a historical document, Dowding's London Gazette dispatch is worthy of the critical analysis and factual expansion which the author provides in what is a uniquely different look at the Battle of Britain.
