EN UNIK KVINNE BLANT KRIGERSKE VIKINGER Frøydis Eiriksdatter er en av vikingtidens mest markante kvinneskikkelser. Hun lever et barskt liv mellom steile fjell og veldige breer innerst i en grønlandsk fjord. Frøydis dyrker Frøya, Tor, Odin og de andre norrøne gudene. Hun må gifte seg med den litt veike storbonden Torvard, men det er andre menn som får blodet hennes til å bruse - og hennes barn har ulike fedre.

Kjærlighet, kvinnekamp og mektig historie. Dette er en fortelling som sitter lenge i.
This book explores the impact of media in these times of conflict and terrorism. It provides an assessment of the extent the media have exacerbated or ameliorated conflict and terrorism in Asia. It also reviews whether they have fostered balance over bias, communication over confrontation, and insight over ignorance in addressing these critical issues. In the wake of Washington's post-911 declaration of war against terrorism, many media outlets have been accused of fuelling a culture of fear and blame around the world. This book brings together the experience of media practitioners and commentators from the region to bring their valuable perspectives to bear on the issue of our time. READERSHIP: University lecturers, researchers, academics, practitioners, and those interested in the fields of media and communication and terrorism studies.

Elizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping empire--and so subjugate Ireland once and for all. ...
After her capture at the hands of Grandmother and the Second Empire, Karigan G'ladheon is making halting progress towards recovery. Karigan takes on increasingly dangerous missions, haunted by the specter of her torturer, Nyssa, and sinking ever further into the mire of her recollections of the past and the losses she's sustained. Meanwhile, the forces of the Second Empire are moving on Sacoridia and their primary target is a vulnerable garrison that guards a crucial mountain pass. Faced with new fatherhood and a country on the verge of war, King Zachary sends a contingent of soldiers and Green Riders to the pass--but his own recovery from the events of the north is not yet complete either. Reunited with her fellow Riders at the pass, Karigan takes on a leadership role, but quickly finds that the Riders are not as she last left them. As tension mounts and war draws ever closer to the heart of Sacoridia, Karigan must discover what it truly means to be a Rider and a hero of the realm--and what sacrifices must be made to truly heal from her past.
