Book excerpt: How can you - a single individual - make a significant impact on your organization? - How could the Vikings "discover" and set foot on the New Continent 500 years before Columbus? - How could a supposedly primitive people establish the first real democracy on the fringe of the Arctic Circle in 905 A.D.? - How could a relatively small social organization articulate values 1,000 years ago that permeate and guide our society even today? The answer is The Viking Ethic. The Viking Ethic, with its tripartite elements of Excellence, Team Work and Adventure, is centuries old. But its application is important, essential and relevant to organizations today. After more than three decades of real world, organizational experience, the author has identified, and simply stated, lessons from the ancestors that are critical in today's world in their application to organizations. And the key ingredient is the individual in the organization. This book provides hope and inspiration to those individuals - to you - and provides a simple formula that you can apply to the growth and success of your organization, and the individuals within it. From fascinating factual historic examples, to translation into simple yet powerful individual actions today, this book is a must read for every member of contemporary organizations - from CEO to entry level employee.

Download or read book The Vikings written by Martin Arnold and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-08 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and balanced history traces the 300-year saga of the pirates and warlords who poured out of Scandinavia between the eighth and eleventh centuries, terrorizing, conquering, and ultimately settling vast tracts of land throughout Europe. Undaunted by the might of the Arab caliphates and the Byzantine Empire, they founded Russia, originated the bloodline that came to rule France, and created a North Sea empire that included England. They also established settlements across the North Atlantic, notably in Iceland and Greenland, and their adventurous spirit and extraordinary seafaring skills led them to explore and briefly build colonies in North America. These were the Vikings, initially ferocious pagan warriors seeking land and booty under the banners of their gods, but eventually belligerent Christian kings commanding vast armies. Martin Arnold provides a lively and accessible account of the early medieval period that became known as the Viking Age. Drawing on rich literary and archaeological source material, the first half of the book focuses especially on Viking culture, religious beliefs, and battle tactics and weaponry. The second half ranges over the four main theaters of Viking activity—the British Isles, Western Europe, the Slavic regions, and the North Atlantic settlements. Arnold vividly illustrates the two faces of the Vikings: on the one hand, savage, greedy, and implacable; on the other, adventurous, innovative, and artistic.

Download or read book The Vikings Reimagined written by Tom Birkett and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vikings Reimagined explores the changing perception of Norse and Viking cultures across different cultural forms, and the complex legacy of the Vikings in the present day. Bringing together experts in literature, history and heritage engagement, this highly interdisciplinary collection aims to reconsider the impact of the discipline of Old Norse Viking Studies outside the academy and to broaden our understanding of the ways in which the material and textual remains of the Viking Age are given new meanings in the present. The diverse collection draws attention to the many roles that the Vikings play across contemporary culture: from the importance of Viking tourism, to the role of Norse sub-cultures in the formation of local and international identities. Together these collected essays challenge the academy to rethink its engagement with popular reiterations of the Vikings and to reassess the position afforded to ‘reception’ within the discipline.

Book excerpt: This essay collection is a wide-ranging exploration of Vikings, the television series that has successfully summoned the historical world of the Norse people for modern audiences to enjoy. From a range of critical viewpoints, these all fresh essays explore the ways in which past and present representations of the Vikings converge in the show's richly textured dramatization of the rise and fall of Ragnar Loobrok--and the exploits of his heirs--creating what many viewers label a "true" representation of the age. From the show's sources in both saga literature and Victorian revival, to its engagement with contemporary concerns regarding gender, race and identity, via setting, sex, society and more, this first book-length study of the History Channel series appeals to fans of the show, Viking enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in medievalist representation in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethical World-Conception of the Norse People: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Religion Here, has been defined as the last, finishing process by which conscious ness takes possession of an object. World-conception would then mean a View or way of looking at and taking in the world as a fact of experience. Upon inquiry into the history Of culture, in primi tive times as well as among the lowest savages of today, we shall find that each and every people has had its own peculiar View of the world in which it has lived, and thereby of the universe as a whole and of man kind at large, so far as it has been able at all to entertain such images from its varied experiences and endowments. These conceptions, as far as they may have been formed, have also received their peculiar coloring from the environments and the hereditary traits of the individuals and peoples entertaining them. Hence arises a variety of world-conceptions, each finding its appropriate expression through certain geniuses, who in various times and climes have been known as prophets and priests, poets and philosophers. Social institutions, traditions, literary monuments, and archaeological finds, as products of their times and its seers, remain to tell the tale. To these we must turn, if we would find out what kind of a life and world-conception a given people has had. In the expression.

Download or read book The Age of the Vikings written by Anders Winroth and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major reassessment of the vikings and their legacy The Vikings maintain their grip on our imagination, but their image is too often distorted by myth. It is true that they pillaged, looted, and enslaved. But they also settled peacefully and traveled far from their homelands in swift and sturdy ships to explore. The Age of the Vikings tells the full story of this exciting period in history. Drawing on a wealth of written, visual, and archaeological evidence, Anders Winroth captures the innovation and pure daring of the Vikings without glossing over their destructive heritage. He not only explains the Viking attacks, but also looks at Viking endeavors in commerce, politics, discovery, and colonization, and reveals how Viking arts, literature, and religious thought evolved in ways unequaled in the rest of Europe. The Age of the Vikings sheds new light on the complex society, culture, and legacy of these legendary seafarers.
