A storm and its sunny aftermath come to life through gorgeous art and lyrical text. What do you do when the clouds roll in, When the wind chimes clang and the weather vanes spin? When stormy skies threaten, people stock up on supplies, bring in their outside toys, and check the news for updates. And during the storm, if the power goes out, they can play games and tell stories by candlelight. But what do animals do? They watch and listen, look for a cozy den or some other sheltered spot, and hunker down to wait. After the storm, while the people are cleaning up their yards, making repairs, and checking on the neighbors, the animals emerge from their hiding places and shake off the rain. And everyone is happy to be out in the sunshine again, grateful for better weather and the company of friends.

Lubeck is a powerful Norseman who is innocently fishing when his ship is attacked and he is left injured. After he is pulled aboard a slave vessel, Lubeck pledges not to die chained to an oar, but instead to break free and find his son before he stands with his forefathers in Valhalla. After Lubeck and his shipmates manage to orchestrate an escape that washes them straight into the ocean and eventually onto a beach, Lubeck and his loyal companion, Thorsten, transform the former galley slaves into a formidable army. As they embark on a dangerous quest to rescue and recover their loved ones and to plot revenge against their slavers, Lubeck leads his Gurlemeck warriors from northern Viking territories to the equatorial tropics and through numerous battles. But when they are unwittingly drawn into a deceitful and traitorous power struggle that tests their abilities, courage, and determination, now only time will tell if they will persevere and complete their mission or die trying. In this heroic fantasy adventure, a band of escaped slaves set out on a perilous journey to find their families and seek justice for their captors.

For centuries, the Book of Change (or the Yijing), has been consulted for sage advice at life's turning points. It differs from simple prognostication, however, in that it demands us to cultivate an understanding of the situation, the world, and most of all, ourselves; indeed, this understanding is essential for leaders of all times. MUN Kin Chok, a marketing scholar by profession, derives a rational approach to organizational leadership from the Book of Change. The yin–yang concept is illustrated according to contexts and characters of man. The sixty-four hexagrams and each of their six possible "nging lines" are analyzed in a clear systematic manner. Skeptical of oracle predictions, the author combs through different divination methods and utilizes them as tools to calculate risks and stimulate ideas.
