{"product_id":"vikings-stephan-weaver-9781514777091","title":"Vikings: The Viking Age From Beginning To End","description":"From the invasion of Britain to the siege of Paris, the Viking age is indeed one of the most tumultuous and formative periods of European history. But what of the forces behind the seismic raids and explorations? What of the ingenious craftsmanship behind the longboats that were beyond their time? Often, a farrago of myths and facts continues to portray a rather foggy image of the Vikings; but could the Vikings truly be the savage seafarers that history condemns them to be? \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eInside you will learn about...\u003ci\u003eThe History\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Raids and Settlements of the Vikings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSiege of Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Viking Dress Code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViking Homes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Viking Age and Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Viking Longship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Social Landscape of the Vikings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe Legends\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRagnar Lodbrok\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErik Thorvaldsson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBjorn Ironside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarald Hardrada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe Gods\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOdin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrey (Freyr)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreyja (Freya)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eAnd much more \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis book provides a balanced and riveting account of the Viking age-from its dawn to dusk. Without white washing the savagery of the Vikings, it chronicles the many raids that were undertaken. It also presents another view point of these fascinating people. Employing the latest archeological finds and various sources, it paints a different yet factual picture of the Vikings. The book delves into the many cultural aspects of the society: religion-the Nordic gods-social structure, cloth, house and much besides. Their celebrated ship architecture is discussed at length, myths are debunked, legends are deliberated-many facets of this epoch are dilated in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephan Weaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514777096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514777091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Stephan Weaver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46739037126911,"sku":"9781514777091","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41c1be2c-de89-41ae-b79e-766454355aa1.jpg?v=1743277017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vikings-stephan-weaver-9781514777091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
