Sinossi

Viking Expansion explores the Viking Age, focusing on the drivers and impacts of the Norse seafarers' journeys across Europe and beyond. This book argues that Viking expansion was more than just raiding; it was a complex interaction of environmental factors, technological advancements, and socio-political dynamics. Intriguingly, their advanced shipbuilding wasn't just for warfare, but also enabled sophisticated trade networks connecting disparate regions. Also, Viking settlements significantly shaped the cultural and political identities of numerous European societies. The book uniquely integrates archaeological findings, linguistic analysis, and genetic studies to provide a nuanced understanding of Viking migrations and their interactions with local populations.

 
Beginning with an introduction to Viking society and technology, the book progresses through key phases of expansion, from raids on England and France to settlements in Iceland, Greenland, and North America. It also examines Viking influence in Eastern Europe, drawing from sagas, runic inscriptions, and recent research. Ultimately, Viking Expansion offers valuable insights into understanding modern migration patterns and the dynamics of cultural exchange. By presenting multiple perspectives and critically evaluating available evidence, the book addresses ongoing debates about Viking motivations and cultural influence, appealing to history enthusiasts and students alike.

    Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times—a system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. 
     
     
     
    Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the river system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. 
     
     
     
    These topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact—a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance?
