Synopsis

Viking Explorers uncovers the remarkable story of Norse exploration during the Viking Age, highlighting their sophisticated seafaring technology, navigational prowess, and the socio-economic factors driving their expansion. Far from simple raiders, the Vikings systematically established trade networks and expanded their cultural influence across the North Atlantic. Their shipbuilding innovations, like the iconic longships, combined with their navigation techniques using the sun, stars, and ocean currents, allowed them to venture into uncharted territories, impacting the geography and cultures of the regions they encountered.

 
This book's approach guides readers through Viking society, exploring their social structures, religious beliefs, and economic conditions. It examines archaeological discoveries, Norse sagas, and historical accounts to reconstruct major voyages, including the settlement of Iceland and Greenland, and attempts to colonize North America, known as Vinland. The book also acknowledges the ongoing debates surrounding Vinland's precise location and the extent of Viking interactions with indigenous populations.

 
Ultimately, Viking Explorers emphasizes the Vikings' adaptability and understanding of their environment, presenting a balanced account of their achievements and limitations. The book progresses from establishing the historical context to detailing technological innovations, exploring major voyages, and analyzing long-term consequences, offering a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in history.

Wired for Connection - The...

Carolyn Klassen

Wired for Connection are the lessons clients taught a therapist over a career about love, courage, vulnerability, shame and authenticity
Therapists learn and grow from therapy with clients--and now you can too!
Carolyn graduated from counselling school with a ton of head knowledge. Carolyn read 1000’s of pages and written hundreds more and learned the models and the approaches in the books. Did this therapist know enough to actually help people?
Turns out she didn’t.
That’s where her clients come in. They taught her about life, about therapy, and about relationships.
So much of what clients taught her was paradoxical. Actually, they didn’t teach her—the most important lessons in life are better caught than taught. The lessons were counterintuitive to conventional relationship wisdom.
Together they learned the way to real relationships was messiness, mistakes and discomfort. They noticed the route to acceptance was authenticity, that tears make life better, and that raw courage is often about tender things like saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you”. And so much more.
Relationships are hard—but we are wired for them. We are wired for struggle and growth. Watching people struggle with their own lives has inspired her to struggle and grow in hers.
Relationships are hard for us all. But if we show up to connect, and we do it anything like right, we learn from each other. We learn from each other in ways that surprise and delight us.
We are wired for connection.

The Reformation 1495-1553 - The...

Martin Luther, Phillip...

Martin Luther and John Calvin are household names, where people have little knowledge of them besides their vast impact on Christian thought and culture. It is surprising how closely their language and concerns reflect modern times.
Martin Luther was a rabble-rousing man of the people, filled with invective and the emotional force of connecting with humanity rather than culture or wealth.
John Calvin’s sardonic sense of humour permeates a constant barrage of mythbusting that would do a modern-day fact checker proud.
Three less well-known writers round out the collection. Zwingli, Melancthon and Savonarola all preach with a force befitting true Christians fighting against the vast powers of a Catholic church that was the most powerful entity in Europe, and had consolidated a wide range of practices that broke the people away from an experience of divinity.
Savonarola speaks with the voice of a travelling preacher, a man of the people whose voice matched that of Eugene Debs. Zwingli spoke with a proud nationalism and pride that was wounded by the use of foreign armies, when the land could provide for all its citizens if managed correctly. Melancthon is an academic, providing a point-by-point deconstruction of the Pope’s claimed powers in ways that were irrefutable even for the Jesuit strains that held the Catholic Church’s intellectual force.
Just as with the liberation fighters, socialists, and anarchists of previous volumes, these historical figures lived under great threat, attacking vast forces with little more than courage and the certainty of their beliefs. They stand as the bridge over the cultural change between the middle ages and the renaissance.
