  Ancient Norse mythology's fabled universe features gods, giants, and mortals living among the cosmic infrastructure of Nine Realms that will, according to the book titled "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology: Exploring the Nine Realms: Unveiling the Rich Tapestry of Norse Mythology," reveal itself very soon. 
  There were books covering each and every kingdom. The writers started with Asgard, the land of powerful gods, went on through the mysterious and fertile lands of Vanaheim to hard rocky plains of Jotunheim, the land of giants, all along assisted by the central axis formed by Yggdrasil, the World Tree. 
  And then readers are taken down on this road with them where epic myth and the lore of Norse culture narrates the stirring tale of heroism, honor and destiny. It has to be said that the book includes detailed retellings of important myths, old gods such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, or spiritual and cultural ideals in this exhaustive inquiry. 
  The book has been built chapter by chapter upon an exploration of one of the Nine Realms: on each world's cosmic function, its inhabitants, and symbolism in Norse mythology. The book also delves into how these old tales continue to inspire and echo today in speaking to common human concerns. 
  "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology" is an enlightening, encyclopedic treatment for anyone keen on really understanding the depth and power of Norse myths, which would be ideally suited to either the connoisseur of myths or any newcomer to the subject matter. It inspires readers into rediscovering the old classics and what they have to say nowadays.

  "Ben Wikler is one of the most strategic and respected leaders of his generation. If we do what this book says, we will win." ―Nancy Pelosi 
   
  From one of the most successful Democratic strategists of the last decade, a revelatory account of what you―yes, you―can do to defeat Trumpism. 
   
  This Is the Plan is a hope-unleashing answer for anyone who has looked at the wreckage of American politics and asked: How the hell do we get out of this mess? Ben Wikler, hailed as the "preeminent state party chair" by Nancy Pelosi, led Wisconsin Democrats through a series of hold-your-breath fights against right-wing extremists that resulted, against the odds, in the unrigging of the political system of the most divided―and, until recently, most gerrymandered―state in the nation. Now, he draws on decades of experience in everything from school-board races to presidential elections to bring listeners inside the hidden web of power that shapes our lives. At every step, he shows what individuals and small groups can do to help build a future where democracy thrives and our country works for everyone. With verve, infectious humor, and a rallying-cry energy that has inspired tens of thousands of volunteers, This Is the Plan is the book so many Americans have been waiting for: An idealistic, yet, practical guide to turning the present crisis into a better future.

  Rome and the Near East - The...

  Rome faced many formidable enemies over the course of nearly 1,000 years, but perhaps none were as enigmatic and forgotten as King Mithridates VI of Pontus. Despite numerous ancient sources detailing the life of the foreign monarch and his wars with Rome, and despite being an interesting character who endured years as a fugitive in his youth, enjoyed a fascination with poisons, and held mercy and pragmatic ruthlessness in a delicate balance, very few scholarly books and works have been produced about the king. It may be that his largely unsuccessful military campaigns have contributed to his disappearance from active historical examination, but despite his poor record in engagements against the Romans, the Kingdom of Pontus dominated much of Asia Minor in the 1st century BCE, and the Romans themselves considered the kingdom one of its most dangerous enemies. According to Plutarch, when Mithridates died, the Roman soldiers felt that “in the person of Mithridates ten thousand enemies had died.” By then, it had required three of Rome’s most famous generals - Sulla, Lucullus, and Pompey - to finally subdue his kingdom.   
  	Among all the periods in ancient Egyptian history, the Ptolemaic Kingdom and its most famous ruler, Cleopatra, may be the most well-known today. By the 4th century BCE, it appeared as though ancient Egypt was in its final death throes. It had long ceased to be an influential kingdom in the Near East and Mediterranean regions, and it had been ruled over by a succession of foreign peoples including Libyans, Nubians, Assyrians, and Persians. But just when Egypt seemed doomed to pass forever into obscurity, it was reinvigorated by outsiders, most notably Alexander the Great. While in the process of campaigning to destroy the Achaemenid Persian Empire and conquer the world in 331 BCE, he made a pit stop in Egypt that forever changed the course of Egyptian history.

  Great stories are more like a movie than a report. Like a good movie, they are crafted to stimulate an emotional as well as a logical response. They are engaging and effective because they activate the listener's imagination. You haven't really connected with your audience until you've told a story.
