Download or read book The Viking s Daughter written by Susan Seevers Dietrich and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1911 a young American woman, who is a recent anthropology graduate of Barnard College attempting to discover what had become of the vanished Norse settlements in southern Greenland, finds herself instead in the far north of the country living at a trading post run by the famous Arctic explorers, Knud Rasmussen and Peter Freuchen. Sivi Jorgensen, the book's fictional protagonist, becomes integrated into their very real world. A romantic encounter between the American woman and Knud Rasmussen causes her to remain in Greenland for the next seven years. While there Sivi has flashbacks of her Scandinavian heritage and the novel regresses to the era in Greenland of Erik the Red, which is also the initial period of Norse exploration in North America. The core of this midsection is an historically credible story of the attempts by Erik's three sons, Leif, Thorstein and Thorvald Eriksson, and later the Icelander Thorfinn Karslefni, to colonize Newfoundland and the Labrador. Part three returns Sivi to her home in NYC. She gets a job at the NY American Museum of Natural History, working with famous anthropologist Franz Boas, where she discovers some disturbing facts about the museum's collection methods of transporting Eskimos to the United States for study during the early part of the 20th Century. This is a fine historical novel. It brings to life important events often lost in obscure Medieval Icelandic texts, and asks questions about what is nature versus nurture that still resonate today.

Download or read book Europe s Lost World written by Vincent L. Gaffney and published by Council for British Archaeology. This book was released on 2009 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent book, which deserves a wide readership, reports on the work of the North Sea Palaeolandscapes Project, which has been researching the fascinating lost landscape of Doggerland which until the end of the last Ice Age connected Britain to the continent in the North Sea area. It aims to make the findings available to a general readership, and show just how impressive they have been, with nearly 23,000km2 mapped. The techniques used to reconstruct the landscape are explained, and conclusions and speculation about the climate and vegetation of the area in the Mesolithic offered. It also tells the story of the rediscovery of Doggerland, and the Mesolithic landscape more generally, from the pioneering work of Clement Reid in the nineteenth century, to the research of Grahame Clark and Bryony Coles in the twentieth. It's also worth pointing out just how well produced and illustrated the book is, and one can only hope that it can spark public interest in a comparatively little known phase of our prehistory.

Download or read book The House That Wisdom Built written by Kyle J. Hoover and published by Anomalos Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plot of The House That Wisdom built is set in the ancient Mesopetamia region in approx. 3000 BC. The writing style is modeled after the King James Bible, giving the book a poetic and romantic effect. The main character's name, Agur, is derived from the name of the mystery writer of Proverbs 30. Since nothing is known of this person, the fictional account of him in this story weaves an intiguing link between what he learns in this book and what people can then read in their own bibles; thus the bible functions as a sort of fascinating continuation of his account. The story begins with a character known as The Greatest Man in the East and documents the exploits of his life. As he lays on his death bed, he calls for his four sons so that the inheritance can be distributed between them. The eldest three sons are foolish yet receive the bulk of the inheritance, while the youngest and wise son, Agur (the main character), receives only a tattered scroll. His father assures Agur that this is the greatest of all of the treasures because it reveals the way to the House That Wisdom Built, and it is the secret of his great wealth and success. Along with the scroll his father promises betrothal to Tanjah who is one of his father's servants, and the secret love of Agur's life. She must remain while he makes this dangerous endeavor.

Book excerpt: For fans of The Golden Compass, this is book two in the Mapmakers Trilogy and follow-up to S.E. Grove's stunning debut, The Glass Sentence It is the summer of 1892, one year since Sophia Tims and her friend Theo embarked upon the dangerous adventure that rewrote the map of the world. Since their return home to Boston, she has continued searching for clues to her parents’ disappearance, combing archives and libraries, grasping at even the most slender leads. Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer in order to follow those leads across the country—but one after another proves to be a dead end. Then Sophia discovers that a crucial piece of the puzzle exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and that one remarkable person is part of both. There is a city that holds all of the answers—but it cannot be found on any map. Surrounded by plague, it can only be reached by a journey through darkness and chaos, which is at the same time the plague’s cure: The Golden Specific. "This delicious blend of magic, history, and science will continue to delight fans of intricate world-building and rich storytelling."—School Library Journal "Readers who have already read the first installment will gladly savor another journey with Sophia and marvel at the worlds they enter. Brilliantly imagined and full of wonder."—Kirkus Reviews
