R. I. Page: Chronicles of the Vikings: Records, Memorials and Myths
Description
There have been many books about the Vikings, but few that see them from their own point of view. Most accounts rely heavily on the records of prejudiced observers (who saw the Vikings only as savage raiders) or the archaeological record, which tells us much about their material culture but little about their values. This classic book reveals how the Vikings saw themselves: portrayed in their own writings or in the reports of people who knew them closely. Using a series of translations from primary sources including runic inscriptions, literary works, rare historical accounts and eye-witness reports, this book brings the Viking world to life.
The first year of parenthood is a momentous one, to say the least. A tiny, hapless being emerges and, over the course of what seems mere moments, quadruples in weight, trebles in height, learns to walk, learns to talk, goes to school and is soon asking you to buy her an iPhone. Since it is hard to slow down the clock, documenting the journey is invaluable. "Baby Journal" makes a refreshing change from the usual saccharine fare that is peddled to new parents. With vibrant watercolors by successful illustrator and British Animation Award-winner Yasmeen Ismail, the journal is beautifully and distinctively produced, printed on various paper stocks that are Chronicles of the Vikings: Records, Memorials and Myths free download pdf interleaved with one another and include little envelopes in which to place mementos, such as a leaf from a walk in the park, a lock of hair or a flyer from the first exhibition you took your son or daughter to. Ismail has a wonderful eye for color, detail and composition, and her watercolors provide the perfect frames for thought and reflection. Playful and interactive and somewhat akin to Cicada's "Draw Me a House," "Baby Journal" is the perfect gift for new parents who have managed to stave off--however temporarily!--a crisis of style.
