Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Meet The Scraeling. 'The most dangerous little bugger alive' is how the terrible Landwaster, Harald Hardraada, describes his chief of staff, The Scraeling, and this novel chronicles part of his story. Torn at fifteen from a convent devastated by a viking raid, the cripple derisively nicknamed 'The Scraeling' uses his intellect, his learning and his organisational skills not just to survive in a world that prizes strength and savagery above all else, but to become indispensable to the band and its ruthless leader. Ironically, the Landwaster is unaware of just how right he is, for The Scraeling's secret, unswerving and lifelong purpose is not only to betray his fearsome master but to end the day of the viking itself. In his own words, 'I smile at him, flatter him, counsel him and plan for him so that he may lean on me as upon a staff. And one day his staff will turn in his hand and kill him and his as they killed mine . . .' This is the story of his long journey to adulthood and a terrible revenge, a journey that sees him become a byword for cunning, for planning and for outwitting his fellow man. The adult Scraeling pits these skills against the most rapacious band of pagans who ever walked the earth to the embarrassment of its Creator . . . It's no secret that Harald Hardraada died outside York at the hand of one of the three warriors who contended for the English throne in 1066, but the Scraeling's part in that has certainly been overlooked by history. Until now . . . What reviewers have said of this story: '. fiction and fact are blended so skillfully that there is no dividing line. ' 'There's a powerful music in the writing, not just in the songs of the skalds.' 'As well-plotted as the crippled boy's plan, as absorbing as the history it tells, as vivid as that dark and distant world and as immediate as the present, Michael Burr's novel brings the magic of the Vikings to fearsome life and leaves the reader breathlessly turning pages for more.' 'The Landwaster' is a graphic, brutal and explicit novel about violent, determined and ruthless people exercising unfettered power. It's not for the faint-hearted nor the squeamish, but then neither were vikings nor the Byzantine court . . .

For many years, planetary science has been taught as part of the astronomy curriculum, from a very physics-based perspective, and from the framework of a tour of the Solar System - body by body. Over the past decades, however, spacecraft exploration and related laboratory research on extraterrestrial materials have given us a new understanding of planets and how they are shaped by geological processes. Based on a course taught at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, this is the first textbook to focus on geologic processes, adopting a comparative approach that demonstrates the similarities and differences between planets, and the reasons for these. Profusely illustrated, and with a wealth of pedagogical features, this book provides an ideal capstone course for geoscience majors - bringing together aspects of mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, sedimentology, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysics and remote sensing. the book is profusely illustrated with full color diagrams and photographic renderings of many geochemical and geophysical particulars. Each chapter concludes with key references and study questions. Overall, this work provides a good and very up-to-date account, from acknowledged experts, of how traditional ways of doing geology are now being extended to understand a diverse array of bodies throughout the solar system.' B. M. Simonson, Choice 'Planetary Geoscience is at the vanguard in showing how Earth science and planetary science are forever linked by a diversity of processes giving rise to their similarities and differences, with applications almost certainly extending everywhere that planets are found.' Richard Binzel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'Planetary Geoscience provides a comprehensive overview of what Earthlings know about the geology, geophysics, and geochemistry of solid worlds beyond Earth, from stardust to Venus. It clearly presents key concepts with a combination of beautiful illustrations, well-written text, and only essential equations. This is probably the best introductory planetary textbook for geoscience majors.' Alfred McEwen, University of Arizona 'The first comprehensive textbook on the geological processes that have shaped the extraordinary diversity of planetary and other bodies in the Solar System. With accessible prose and fine illustrations, this will be essential reading for undergraduate courses and a rich resource for readers wanting an up-to-date overview of the latest insights into our neighborhood in space.'
