Beschreibung

"Norse Mythology" explores the profound influence of Norse myths on Viking culture, warfare, and societal structures. Delving into the Norse pantheon, including Odin, Thor, and Loki, the book reveals how these figures and their sagas shaped Viking values and behaviors. Norse cosmology wasn't merely entertainment; it was a powerful force molding Viking society, impacting everything from seafaring explorations to legal systems. 

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with creation myths and culminating in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods. Archaeological findings, runic inscriptions, and textual analysis of the Eddas and sagas are used to provide insights into religious practices and Viking life. You'll discover that Norse mythology provided a framework for understanding the world, justifying social hierarchies, and inspiring both courage and brutality. 

 
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Norse Mythology and its impact on the Viking Age. It adopts a fact-based approach, presenting the material through historical analysis and cultural interpretation, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in History World, World History, and Religion.

    It takes being tackled in the park to get Sarah out of her rut. 
      
      
    Although, Sarah wouldn't call it a rut. At 22 years old she's comfortable where she is in life - living with her dad, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the same job since she was 14 years old. Life has so much more to offer, but she's not interested in any hand-outs. Not even from her best friend Nina who is desperate to get her back on the dating scene. When Riak Royal attacks her in the park, Sarah finds herself more attracted to the tall, dark, and animalistic werewolf than she is afraid. With her dark purple eyes and disarming grin, Riak shakes up her life by claiming Sarah as her mate right then and there. Now instead of maybe rekindling something casual with her ex, Sarah has to figure out how Riak fits in her life no matter how commitment-phobic she is, because the alternative would be insanity. 
    With the help of Nina, and a whole lot of introspection, Sarah will find herself on a journey of self-discovery she never would have expected, while maybe falling in love with the werewolf she never asked for.

    PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Northern France from 25 July to 14 September 1944. 
    As July 1944 entered its final week, Allied forces in Normandy faced, at least on the surface, a most discouraging situation. In the east, near Caen, the British and Canadians were making little progress against fierce German resistance. In the west, American troops were bogged down in the Norman hedgerows. These massive, square walls of earth, five feet high and topped by hedges, had been used by local farmers over the centuries to divide their fields and protect their crops and cattle from strong ocean winds. The Germans had turned these embankments into fortresses, canalizing the American advance into narrow channels, which were easily covered by antitank weapons and machine guns. The stubborn defenders were also aided by some of the worst weather seen in Normandy since the turn of the century, as incessant downpours turned country lanes into rivers of mud. By 25 July, the size of the Allied beachhead had not even come close to the dimensions that pre D-day planners had anticipated, and the slow progress revived fears in the Allied camp of a return to the static warfare of World War I. Few would have believed that, in the space of a month and a half, Allied armies would stand triumphant at the German border...

    The Life Model is a unifying approach to ministries of counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child rearing, body life and health. Substance abuse recovery programs internationally are guided by the Life Model's five principles. Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering. Missions have adopted the Life Model for restoring hurt missionary children. Almost every major ministry dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA uses the Life Model as part of their teaching. This new version now includes study questions at the end of each chapter as well as many other bonuses. Written by James Friesen, E James Wilder, Anne Bierling, Rick Koepcke, and Maribeth Poole.

    My career was being trained as and working as an Engineer mostly for Fortune 100 companies. 
    In parallel with that I’ve also been working on spiritual enlightenment and developing my paranormal abilities for the last fifty years. 
    This unusual combination of skills has led me to my passion of writing about the paranormal and many “out of the box” concepts and topics. I’ve actually written twelve books about the paranormal based on my experiences and research into these topics. 
    One topic which has always fascinated me has been how many paranormal experiences are usually interpreted by mental health professionals as delusional and mentally ill behaviors. 
    My thinking is that most people have spiritual and paranormal abilities and these cause experiences which can overwhelm some people to make them fit the diagnosis of them having mental illnesses. 
    Certainly there are a lot of legitimate mental illnesses which cause the need for treatments by mental health professionals. 
    But what happens when persons having these experiences may be normal and stable in their other behaviors but these experiences are so far beyond the norms of society that others think they are “crazy” and therefore treat them as such? 
    I’ve heard and read a number of stories over the years where I wonder if they were real experiences which might have just caused the person who lived them to have a nervous breakdown. 
    This book is my effort to help people understand the interfaces of real paranormal experiences and mental illness and how to tell which is which. 
    Also, what additional therapies can be used to help people who may be overwhelmed by these experiences?
