Sinopsis

"Viking Expeditions" offers a fresh perspective on Viking history, emphasizing their maritime technology and navigational skills rather than solely focusing on raiding and warfare. The book explores how their advanced ship design, such as the clinker-built hulls that provided both strength and flexibility, allowed them to navigate treacherous waters and establish far-flung settlements. Intriguingly, the Vikings' success wasn't just about brute force; it was rooted in a deep understanding of the sea and environmental adaptation, enabling them to traverse vast distances. 

 
The book examines the evolution of Viking shipbuilding and navigation, drawing on archaeological evidence and Norse sagas. It investigates how they determined latitude and tracked their position at sea with limited instruments, showcasing their resourcefulness. Case studies, such as the voyages to Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland in North America, illustrate the challenges they faced and the solutions they developed.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, "Viking Expeditions" begins by outlining the historical context of the Viking age before delving into specific aspects of maritime technology. The book progresses through chapters examining ship design, navigation techniques, and environmental adaptation, culminating in a discussion of the lasting impact of Viking exploration on trade, cultural exchange, and technology.

    Zodiakos: The Circle of Holy Animals is a mystical exploration of the twelve signs of the zodiac as they were originally conceived—sacred emblems in the celestial scripture of the ancient world. This richly symbolic work reinterprets Aries through Pisces as spiritual archetypes, each one a phase in the soul’s journey around the eternal wheel of life, death, and rebirth. 
    Drawing on the esoteric traditions of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea, and the mystery schools of antiquity, Zodiakos reveals how the constellations were not merely tools of astrology, but sacred signatures of cosmic intelligence, encoded with the wisdom of the ages. Whether lion or lamb, goat or twins, each sign becomes a gateway to initiation and an invitation to inner alchemy. 
    Perfect for seekers, stargazers, and students of Hermeticism, Zodiakos unites myth, magic, and metaphysics in a visionary guide to the twelvefold path of cosmic understanding.

    Economist and award-winning author Sylvia Ann Hewlett blends vivid stories with powerful new data in assessing the impact of the #MeToo movement in corporate America and provides concrete action to help executives and companies create more inclusive and safe work environments for women, people of color, and LGBTQ employees.  
     
    While the #MeToo movement has exposed the enormous harm done by sexual misconduct in the workplace, the movement’s full promise has not been fulfilled, Sylvia Ann Hewlett argues. Showcasing new data on the incidence of sexual harassment and assault at work, she reveals how the movement has focused almost exclusively on white women and failed to support other vulnerable groups who are also targets of abuse. Black men, gay men and women, and Latinas experience particularly high rates of sexual harassment and assault.  
    In addition to exploring the movement’s limitations, Hewlett examines the collateral damage inflicted by #MeToo. She looks at hits to the bottom line (lawsuits and settlements, tarnished brands, and stock devaluations) and hits to the talent pipeline. In particular she shows how male leaders, fearful of gossip and legal action, are increasingly skittish about sponsoring young women, no matter how high performing they are. This makes it much more likely that women will stall out mid-career and will deprive companies of diversity in the C-Suite and “gender smarts” around decision-making tables. Digging deep into examples that range from Fox News, Nike, and Google to CBS, Michigan State University, and the Catholic Church, Hewlett lays bare the financial losses associated with sexual misconduct scandals. No wonder corporate chief risk officers newly have #MeToo in their line of sight!  
    A third of this book is devoted to solutions and Hewlett offers a three-pronged strategy, combining legal remedies with individual and corporate action steps that can be used to protect employees and businesses they work for. Drawing from companies as different as IBM and IPG she discusses “experiments at the edge” as well as more evolved initiatives that can help any corporation create a more equitable and safer environment.
