De afgelopen 50 jaar hebben heel wat doorbraken ons inzichten geboden in het Scandinavië van het Vikingtijdperk. Archeologen en geschiedkundigen hebben van alles geanalyseerd, van oude gaten voor heipalen tot 1000 jaar oude druivenpitten, om de waarheid over de Vikingwereld te achterhalen. Die noeste arbeid is dan ook hard nodig, want de Vikingen schreven niets over wat ze destijds zoal meemaakten. Hun verhaal is alleen bekend van de overdreven griezelverhalen van monniken en de oude heldendichten. Maar door heel veel geduld en moderne technologie komen de ontbrekende puzzelstukjes nu op hun plaats te liggen. De wetenschappers zijn al een heel eind, maar hoewel we een steeds beter beeld krijgen van het leven in de Vikingtijd, zijn er nog raadsels te over. Er blijft voorlopig voldoende uit te zoeken over het leven in Scandinavië in die periode. Veel plezier met die raadselachtige Vikingen – dit boek geeft in elk geval wat geheimen prijs.

Laughing Shall I Die explores the Viking fascination with scenes of heroic death. The literature of the Vikings is dominated by famous last stands, famous last words, death songs, and defiant gestures, all presented with grim humor. Much of this mindset is markedly alien to modern sentiment, and academics have accordingly shunned it. And yet, it is this same worldview that has always powered the popular public image of the Vikings—with their berserkers, valkyries, and cults of Valhalla and Ragnarok—and has also been surprisingly corroborated by archaeological discoveries such as the Ridgeway massacre site in Dorset. Was it this mindset that powered the sudden eruption of the Vikings onto the European scene? Was it a belief in heroic death that made them so lastingly successful against so many bellicose opponents? Weighing the evidence of sagas and poems against the accounts of the Vikings’ victims, Tom Shippey considers these questions as he plumbs the complexities of Viking psychology. Along the way, he recounts many of the great bravura scenes of Old Norse literature, including the Fall of the House of the Skjoldungs, the clash between the two great longships Ironbeard and Long Serpent, and the death of Thormod the skald. One of the most exciting books on Vikings for a generation, Laughing Shall I Die presents Vikings for what they were: not peaceful explorers and traders, but warriors, marauders, and storytellers.

The aim of this book is to raise questions about the investigation of identity, community and change in prehistory, and to challenge the current state of debate in Central European Neolithic archaeology. Although the LBK is one of the best researched Neolithic cultures in Europe, here the material is used in order to further explore the interconnection between individuals, households, settlements and regions, explicitly addressing questions of Neolithic society and lived experience. By embracing a variety of approaches and voices, this volume draws out some of the cross-cutting concerns which unite LBK studies in their different regional research contexts and paves the way for further debate on the subject.

The neolithic settlement of Schipluiden was discovered by archaeologists called in to the Delfland region in 2000, where a new wastewater treatment plant was planned. It is a particularly interesting site, as it dates from a time when the local inhabitants switched from a hunter-gatherer-fisher lifestyle to one based around arable and stock farming, and was also a time of significant environmental change.

A synthesis of research on earthenware technologies of the Late Archaic Period in the southeastern U.S. Information on social groups and boundaries, and on interaction between groups, burgeons when pottery appears on the social landscape of the Southeast in the Late Archaic period (ca. 5000-3000 years ago). This volume provides a broad, comparative review of current data from "first potteries" of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains and in the lower Mississippi River Valley, and it presents research that expands our understanding of how pottery functioned in its earliest manifestations in this region. Included are discussions of Orange pottery in peninsular Florida, Stallings pottery in Georgia, Elliot's Point fiber-tempered pottery in the Florida panhandle, and the various pottery types found in excavations over the years at the Poverty Point site in northeastern Louisiana. The data and discussions demonstrate that there was much more interaction, and at an earlier date, than is often credited to Late Archaic societies. Indeed, extensive trade in pottery throughout the region occurs as early as 1500 B.C. These and other findings make this book indispensable to those involved in research into the origin and development of pottery in general and its unique history in the Southeast in particular.

A technological-religious thriller, THE CYBER REVELATION, is a powerful prescient work of fiction and should be read by the rest of the world today as it may have just enough time to prepare for its fate tomorrow. The next world war begins over the Internet. By early summer 2011, Ali Omar, a former U.S. intelligence officer, resurfaces as the leader of a rogue cabal of computer experts operating inside Chechnya. Their creation, The Third Millennium, a computer virus designed to manipulate the Internet and shape a new world destiny, is usurped by a malevolent presence initiating the assault on the Holy Land foretold in biblical prophecies. Unsealing the ancient prophecies, the presence molds the behavior of all who view a computer screen into evil incarnate through the commission of acts of violence. John Granger, computer forensics expert and special assistant to the Department of Homeland Security, races against time to locate and eliminate the source of the new cyber-evil tracing its footprints by deciphering a series of messages deposited on compromised government computers. As he investigates the scenes of the victims, Granger is unaware he has made himself a target for assassination. EXCERPT: "Site R continuity of operations are complete Mr. President," reported the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the subterranean room in Raven Rock. The President?s image from the White house filled the screen on the near wall. "Video conferencing with Greenbrier and Mt. Weather have confirmed standby procedures of the relocation system. The emergency preparedness centers are fully operational. I expect to hear from infectious diseases in Detrick within the hour." "I want a full report in 8 hours," snapped the President. "What?s causing the violence? Is the source biological? Is it psychological? Has an unknown pathogen been released into the population? The best experts in the world are working around the clock and still we have no answers. All we know is people are dying en masse." "Anything definitive come back from Homeland Security on the Third Millennium virus?" asked the Chairman. "No. The Cyber Security Division is coordinating with Computer Emergency Response teams" the President replied. "Since the virus began to swamp the Internet, they?ve developed a strategy to secure it from the cyber rage. To lighten public concern, a series of alerts have been posted categorizing the virus as a low threat. The strategy appears to be working. While the technology community sifts and analyzes data on the Third Millennium, the media?s ignoring the spread of a low-threat cyber event. We?re reaching a critical point. I?ve read preliminary reports from CERTs theorizing a relationship between the Third Millennium and the violence. The dots haven?t been completely connected but, if true, the destruction of our culture may be delivered by the one solution we designed to promote global unity."

During Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity in the winter of 2013-14, Dr. Natalka Slovyanka, a beautiful, young psychiatrist from Donbas, tries to cure her mysterious patient of his ''philosophical intoxication.'' Telesyk is a storyteller who hears voices in the wind. His mind drifts between the immuring reality of the psikhushka and an imaginary world inhabited by witches, nymphs, and dragons. He engages the other patients in a fairy tale of the quest for a horse that eats burning embers and drinks fire, a myth that parallels Ukraine's search for its identity. Both patient and therapist embark on their own quests--Telesyk, to free himself from the prison of his mind and Natalka, to escape the dark secrets of her past. As different as East and West, they realize that they must unite to slay the family of dragons that are threatening their existence. Myth and Madness blends magical realism with historical events on the Maidan to tell the story of a nation's quest for its identity.
