The carved stone crosses of the Isle of Man of the late fifth to mid-eleventh century are of national and international importance. They provide the most coherent source for the early history of Christianity in the Island, and for the arrival and conversion of Scandinavian settlers in the last century of the Viking Age - a century which produced some of the earliest recognisable images of the heroes and gods of the North; earlier, indeed, than those found in Scandinavia. This, the first general survey of the material for more than a century, provides a new view of the political and religious connections of the Isle of Man in a period of great turmoil in the Irish Sea region. The book also includes an up-to-date annotated inventory of the monuments.

This inspirational volume invites the reader to find direction for daily life in the Book of Proverbs. Not a commentary or scholarly work, but more the testimony of a Pastor who loves God's Word.

One of the most unique objects in the world, the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the invasion of England by William the Conqueror on a single length of linen, is reproduced here in full color, with annotations explaining the incredible details it contains.

Brave the terrors of the deep and embark on a Viking voyage: a game to play with your friends. The Vikings travelled long distances in their fast ships, but their voyages were beset with difficulties and rewards were few… You will need counters and dice to play.

This book is intended not only to portray an image of the Vikings but to show something of the culture of the Scandinavian countries in which they were settled in the four centuries before they burst on the European scene.
