Van Deusen, University of Alberta, in Scandinavian-Canadian Studies I will most certainly be using this translation when I teach Norse mythology in the future and will recommend it to anyone looking for an approachable introduction to the subject.” Crawford’s knowledge of and passion for the topic is clear throughout, and he strikes an excellent balance between approachability and authenticity. “n excellent and entertaining work that succeeds in achieving its intended purpose: to create an accessible and readable English translation of the Poetic Edda. Dick Ringler, Professor Emeritus of English and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison With their individual headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply today’s readers with most of what they need to know in order to understand and appreciate the beliefs, motivations, and values of the Vikings.” Jackson Crawford’s modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping.

No fewer than forty-three people asked me "Have you read The Shack yet?" ![]() ![]() Whether Merci is facing school drama or changing family dynamics, readers will empathize as she discovers who she can count on-and what can change in an instant-in Meg Medina’s heartfelt conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Newbery Medal–winning novel.

There’s a lot of interest in economic inequality these days, and research conducted over the past 15 years by Piketty, a professor at the Paris School of Economics, is a big reason why. The reasons start with the confluence of subject matter and author. It was only published in English a few weeks ago, but French economist Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century has already become inescapable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally, when shit hit the fan and everything was ruined, I was hooked.
