Evergreen Ash
Norse mythology is obsessed with the idea of an onrushing and unstoppable apocalypse: Ragnarok, when the whole of creation will perish in fire, smoke, and darkness and the earth will no longer support the life it once nurtured. Most of the Old Norse texts that preserve the myths of Ragnarok originated in Iceland, a nation whose volcanic activity places it perpetually on the brink of a world-changing environmental catastrophe. As the first full-length ecocritical study of Old Norse myth and literature, Evergreen Ash argues that Ragnarok is primarily a story of ecological collapse that reflects the anxieties of early Icelanders who were trying to make a home in a profoundly strange, marginal, ...

An engaging account of the world of the Vikings and their gods.
Eventually He Believed God!
The name Abraham has been heard in many homes and faith. From the north to the south, going west, then travelling to the east, he has a place in many hearts and cultures. To say this in fewer words, Abraham has a prominent place in the lives of many and in their faith. For centuries, until now, the question has plagued the mind of many Bible theologians, students, and the like, even mine, Why did Abram, after receiving a portion of the blessing which his Lord had promised, left it for something else of lesser value? The enquiring questions really should have been the following: Did Abram really believe God? Was his going just obedience? How much did he trust God? His life is a description of many today, who goes to the house of prayer and worship where God speaks to them and, upon leaving the door of the sanctuary, goes in a different direction. I remember one very wise man saying, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:56).
The Shapes of Early English Poetry
This volume contributes to the study of early English poetics. In these essays, several related approaches and fields of study radiate outward from poetics, including stylistics, literary history, word studies, gender studies, metrics, and textual criticism. By combining and redirecting these traditional scholarly methods, as well as exploring newer ones such as object-oriented ontology and sound studies, these essays demonstrate how poetry responds to its intellectual, literary, and material contexts. The contributors propose to connect the small (syllables, words, and phrases) to the large (histories, emotions, faiths, secrets). In doing so, they attempt to work magic on the texts they consider: turning an ordinary word into something strange and new, or demonstrating texture, difference, and horizontality where previous eyes had perceived only smoothness, sameness, and verticality.

Supper at Emmaus
Supper at Emmaus traces various important intellectual topics from the ancient world to the modern period. Generally, as in its treatment of the question of whether the long-standing contrast between cyclical and linear views of history is helpful, it introduces important thinkers who have considered the question. A preoccupation of the book is the appearance and reappearance across the centuries of patterns used to organize temporal and cultural experience. After an opening essay on transcendental truth and cultural relativism, the second chapter traces a distinction, common in historical writings during the past two centuries, between an alleged ancient classical "cyclic" view of time and ...
The Construction of a Hyperbolic 4-manifold with a Single Cusp, Following Kolpakov and Martelli
Reprising the work of Kolpakov and Martelli, a manifold is constructed by face pairings of a four dimensional polytope, the 24-cell. The resulting geometry is a single cusped hyperbolic 4-manifold of finite volume. A short discussion of its geometry and underlying topology is included.
