The Vikings sailed to Iceland not as raiders but as settlers. They sought farmland and goods with which to trade. For the land-hungry Norwegians, the call of the new country, where vast stretches of real estate were open for the taking, must have seemed every bit as alluring as any treasure. As added inducement to emigration, Norway's King Harald Fairhair was consolidating his power with a strong hand, and, in the words of an Icelandic saga, "He made everyone do one thing or the other: Become retainers or quit the country." Here, in this short-form book, is the dramatic story of how the Vikings came to dominate and populate Iceland.

Boston Bay Vikings: hot enough to melt the ice. Ethan I'm a 32-year-old defenseman for the Boston Bay Vikings ice hockey team, and I have no right to look at the boss's daughter the way I do. Riley Peters is a lovely 18-year-old with a bright future ahead of her, but for some reason, she has decided that future includes me. I've kept her at arm's length for the past twelve months. Unless you count the two occasions when I got between her and her dates. Or the time she decided it would be a good idea to call me while drunk and say the filthiest things that I still can't get out of my head. Then she came to Vegas with her father for a game, and things became even more complicated. Riley After one of our arguments, my father often mutters to himself, "Stubborn as a mule." What he doesn't realize is that I'm just as obstinate as he is. When I want something, I go after it with zeal and determination. Unfortunately, what I want, or rather, who I want, will not cooperate. I fell hook, line, and sinker for a sexy hockey player who pretends not to be interested. I'm well aware of how intrigued he is, especially after what happened in Vegas. Ethan believes that what happened in Vegas should remain in Vegas, but I have a very different opinion, and Ethan Lewis is about to find that out! Meet Ethan Lewis and Riley Peters in the third book of the Boston Bay Vikings series by NYT and USA Today bestselling author, Lexi Buchanan.

From the author of Guns, Germs and Steel, Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive is a visionary study of the mysterious downfall of past civilizations. Now in a revised edition with a new afterword, Jared Diamond's Collapse uncovers the secret behind why some societies flourish, while others founder - and what this means for our future. What happened to the people who made the forlorn long-abandoned statues of Easter Island? What happened to the architects of the crumbling Maya pyramids? Will we go the same way, our skyscrapers one day standing derelict and overgrown like the temples at Angkor Wat? Bringing together new evidence from a startling range of sources and piecing together the myriad influences, from climate to culture, that make societies self-destruct, Jared Diamond's Collapse also shows how - unlike our ancestors - we can benefit from our knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors. 'A grand sweep from a master storyteller of the human race' - Daily Mail 'Riveting, superb, terrifying' - Observer 'Gripping ... the book fulfils its huge ambition, and Diamond is the only man who could have written it' - Economis 'This book shines like all Diamond's work' - Sunday Times
