Sinopse

Viking Landings explores the fascinating, often debated topic of Norse presence in North America centuries before Columbus. It examines the evidence suggesting Viking exploration and attempted settlements, focusing on the archaeological site at L’Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America. The book analyzes Norse building remains and artifacts discovered there, offering concrete evidence of their presence. Additionally, it investigates the Icelandic Sagas, separating historical fact from myth to reconstruct the Viking voyages to Vinland. The book takes a balanced approach, carefully evaluating both archaeological discoveries and Norse literary sources to understand this early transatlantic contact. One intriguing fact is that pollen analysis provides crucial insights into the landscape the Vikings encountered. Viking Landings progresses by first establishing the historical context of Viking expansion, then delves into L’Anse aux Meadows, analyzes the Vinland sagas, and concludes by exploring the interactions between the Norse and indigenous populations. This study offers a comprehensive view of a significant chapter in pre-Columbian history.

    Japanese Major General Horii Tomitarô, commanding the South Seas Force, had the Australians on the back foot. Australia was holding the last defendable ridge in the Owen Stanley ranges, Imita Ridge. Horii to his distress was then given orders from Imperial Headquarters in Tokyo that he was to fall back across the mountains to the Japanese beachheads at Gona, Sanananda, and Buna, leaving a force between Templeton’s Crossing and Eora Creek to stop any Australian advance through the mountains. The Japanese, unknown to the Australians evacuated Ioribaiwa Ridge just before they launched their attacks and to their amazement on storming the heights, the Australians encountered no resistance – the Japanese had gone. 
     
    This, however, did not mean the fighting on the Kokoda Track was over, far from it. Three more desperate actions would be fought by the Australians and Japanese, before the decisive battles for the Japanese beachheads could be decided – the battles for Templeton’s Crossing, Eora Creek, and finally the Oivi-Gorari positions on the northern lowland plains. Just 15-kilometres east lay the Kumusi River, the last geographical barrier before reaching the strongly fortified Japanese beachheads themselves.

    Chained to the Desk: Workaholism and the Psychology of Behavioral Addiction 
    In an age that glorifies hustle culture and celebrates busyness as a badge of honor, Chained to the Desk dares to ask a difficult question: When does dedication to work cross the line into addiction? 
    This groundbreaking book delves deep into the often-overlooked world of workaholism, a form of behavioral addiction that can be just as destructive as substance abuse yet often goes unnoticed, even rewarded. Beginning with a clear-eyed overview of what addiction truly is, the author builds a compelling case for understanding workaholism not simply as ambition or drive but as a psychological compulsion rooted in deeper emotional and personality patterns. 
    Through an engaging, accessible, and research-informed journey, readers will uncover: 
    •	The evolving landscape of modern addictions, including digital, performance-based, and socially reinforced behaviors 
    •	Why work is a necessary but potentially dangerous force in our lives 
    •	The behavioral signs and symptoms of workaholism—what to look for in yourself or others 
    •	How certain personality types are more vulnerable to this hidden addiction 
    •	The emotional, physical, and relational toll that chronic overwork can exact 
    With clarity and compassion, the author explains the psychology behind work addiction and offers insight into how to break free from its grip without abandoning your goals or success.

    The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. 
     
     
     
    Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. 
     
     
     
    Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought.
