In 9th century Norway, 16-year-old Glyndr rejects the marriage expected of her seeking instead to learn the magical powers of the runes of Odin. In the first book, The Rune Master Saga, the village rune master agrees to train Glyndr in the rune skills. They soon find themselves challenging an evil rune master helping King Harald to become the sole ruler of Norway. The tyranny of the king and his interference with the trade convince Glyndr and her trader brother Torvald to leave Norway and join others looking for new lives in the lands discovered to the west. They follow the Norse trade route to Iceland and the Green Land where other problems challenge Glyndr's rune skills. In this sequel, The Rune Master Saga II: Beyond Green Land, Torvald and Glyndr look for a friend stranded in a strange land. The native skraelings living there believe that all strangers are evil. If their friend is to be released, Glyndr must use her rune skills to gain the support of the powerful megumoowesoo who guides the skraelings in matters of the spirit world. Hearing of vast forests in a nearby land that they call the Forest Land (Labrador), Torvald and his friend travel there to establish a lumber trade in the new world. The powerful spirits of the land oppose their mission. Glyndr's attempts to use her rune skills are unsuccessful in removing the threat of a dangerous fire caused by a powerful spirit, and she must seek the wisdom of Odin to convince the spirits to trust the traders. In the final story, Glyndr and Torvald must return to Norway to help their brother free himself from the oppression of King Harald. It will need a special rune spell to accomplish this, and Glyndr seeks the help of her teacher, the village rune master, in the use of dark spells.

In 9th century Norway, 16-year-old Glyndr rejects the marriage expected of her seeking instead to learn the magical powers of the runes. In "The Runes of Odin," the first of the three-part book, the village rune master agrees to train Glyndr. Her training intensifies, however, when they learn of dark spells on the land helping King Harald become the sole ruler of Norway. Only the mystical force of the prophecy of three, never created before, can oppose the evil rune master serving the King. In part two, Glyndr and her trader brother leave Norway and join others looking for new lives in "New World." They follow the trade route to Iceland where they and the other settlers meet resistance from a native angakkug-shaman. He uses his influence with the spirits of the land to interfere with the progress of the settlement. Glyndr attempts to counter his interference but also faces a dangerous volcano threatening the settlers. Glyndr and her brother seek adventure and a new trade route to "Green Land" in part three but find the threat of war among the natives when they arrive. Glyndr foretells of many deaths and must endure a brutal winter in the native camp before she understands the full message of the runes with its clue to returning harmony to the land.

From an acclaimed new master of fantasy fiction comes Book Four in the continuing saga of magic, adventure, courage, and fate on parallel worlds–mystical Eldh and modern Earth. Blood of Mystery A twist of time has left Runebreaker Travis Wilder and three of his otherworldly friends stranded on 1880s Earth in a lawless Colorado mining town. As they search for a way back to their own time, Grace Beckett–in present-day Eldh–journeys to a frozen kingdom where she learns her own terrifying destiny: to oppose the Pale King and his monstrous army in the coming cataclysmic battle that will decide Eldh’s future forever. If the Pale King emerges victorious, his master Mohg, the dread Lord of Nightfall, will return from exile, break the First Rune, and remake Eldh in his own dark image. And Earth itself, Eldh’s sister world, will be the next to fall under shadow. Even if Travis returns to Eldh in time to align his calling as Runebreaker with Grace’s destiny as Blademender, how can two mere humans hope to defeat an evil more ancient than any world, more powerful than all existence?

This work explores the role of orality in shaping and evaluating medieval Icelandic literature. Applying field studies of oral cultures in modern times to this distinguished medieval literature, G sli Sigur sson asks how it would alter our reading of medieval Icelandic sagas if it were assumed they had grown out of a tradition of oral storytelling, similar to that observed in living cultures. Sigur sson examines how orally trained lawspeakers regarded the emergent written culture, especially in light of the fact that the writing down of the law in the early twelfth century undermined their social status. Part II considers characters, genealogies, and events common to several sagas from the east of Iceland between which a written link cannot be established. Part III explores the immanent or mental map provided to the listening audience of the location of Vinland by the sagas about the Vinland voyages. Finally, this volume focuses on how accepted foundations for research on medieval texts are affected if an underlying oral tradition (of the kind we know from the modern field work) is assumed as part of their cultural background. This point is emphasized through the examination of parallel passages from two sagas and from mythological overlays in an otherwise secular text.

On a world called Eldh, an ancient gate of iron weakens. A darkness that has slept for a thousand years - the Pale King - stirs once more.

Travis Wilder, bar-owner and drifter, is given a mysterious stone by a friend. Grace Beckett, ER doctor in Denver, finds a gunshot victim with a heart of iron. Both Travis and Grace must step beyond the pale, beyond the boundaries of the world they have known. As doors are opened for each of them, they enter Eldh, a world where they are caught against their wills in an age-old struggle between good and evil. A world of magic, runes and death . . .

Return to the Land, and Linden Amory's quest to rescue her son and save the Land from the Despiser! Fatal Revenant, Book Two of "The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant", begins where The Runes of the Earth ended: Linden Avery watches from a balcony while Thomas Covenant and her adopted son, Jeremiah, ride desperately toward Revelstone. But their reunion has vast consequences which she could not have foreseen. Soon she is betrayed by the people whom she most needs to trust. Transported deep into the Land's past, she is forced to confront mysterious strangers, legendary heroes, and ancient evils, and to stand alone against the malevolence of the Despiser's minions. Abandoned in Garroting Deep, the most bloodthirsty of the Land's long-dead forests, she reaches a fearsome decision: she determines to reshape reality in an attempt to end the Despiser's evil and her son's suffering. However, her purpose requires her to find Loric's krill, a weapon abandoned among the Hills of Andelain millennia ago. And she needs the aid of friends and allies who will turn against her if she reveals her intent. Attacked by enemies old and new, and harried by strange beings with ambiguous agendas, she strives toward Andelain. But the ravenous skurj are rising, and all of her actions appear to serve her worst foes.

The issue of biofuels has already been much debated, but the focus to date has largely been on Latin America and deforestation - this highly original work breaks fresh ground in looking at the African perspective. Most African governments see biofuels as having the potential to increase agricultural productivity and export incomes and thus strengthen their national economies, improving energy balances and rural employment. At the same time climate change may be addressed through reduction of green house gas emissions. There are, however, a number of uncertainties mounting that challenge this scenario. Using cutting-edge empirical case studies, this knowledge gap is addressed in a variety of chapters examining the effects of large-scale biofuel production on African agriculture. In particular, 'land grabbing' and food security issues are scrutinised, both of which have become vital topics in regard to the environmental and developmental governance of African countries. A revealing book for anyone wishing to understand the startling impact of biofuels and land grabbing on Africa.
