(Viking Empires is a definitive new history of five hundre...)
Viking Empires is a definitive new history of five hundred years of Viking civilization and the first study of the global implications of the expansion, integration, and reorientation of the Viking World. From the first contact in the 790s, the book traces the political, military, social, cultural and religious history of the Viking Age from Iceland to Lithuania. The authors show that it is no longer possible to understand the history of the Norman Conquest, the successes of David I of Scotland, or German settlement in Poland, Prussia and the Baltic States without integrating the internal history of Scandinavia. The book concludes with a new account of the end of the Viking era, arguing that there was no sudden decline but only the gradual absorption of the Scandinavian kingdoms into the larger project of the crusades and a refocusing of imperial ambitions on the Baltic States and Eastern Europe. The authors, experts in Scottish history, medieval studies, and law, have taught a course on Viking history to undergraduates at the University of Aberdeen for a number of years.

FLEISCHER, Richard was born on December 8, 1916 in. Brooklyn, New York, United States. Fleischer was the son of Max Fleischer the cartoonist.
Recieved a Bachelor's Degree of the Brown University, Master's Degree of Fine Arts, Yale University. He studied medicine and drama and in 1940 joined RKO to work on documentaries. While there, he made several pictures in the This Is America series and directed Flickers Flashback, an anthology of silent films.
Richard Fleischer was a competent director of action pictures—The Narrow Margin. Violent Saturday; inclined to settle for schoolboy rough-and-tumble—20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, Bandido, and The Vikings; the director of one excellent study of turn-of-the- century New York high society—The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing. But there were alarming signs of pretentiousness: not only Compulsion and Crack in the Mirror (which look like an insubstantial talent being buffeted by Darryl Zanuck and Orson Welles), but Barabbas, which is religiose and slow. There was a gap in his career in the midsixties after which Fleischer redoubled his efforts, veering from hokum (Fantastic Voyage and Torn! Tora! Torn!) to projects notable for their implau- sibility—Dr Dolittle, Che!, and 10 Rillington Place. Most remarkable of all is the way Fleischer has trudged from one famous murder case to another—The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing; Compulsion; The Boston Strangler; 10 Rillington Place—without suggesting more than a Sunday newspaper's interest in the theme.
It is an odd seriousness that can investigate such cases and still produce The New Centurions, a routine endorsement of the police, illuminated only by the brooding sequence in which George C. Scott kills himself. In the late sixties and early seventies, Fleischer aimed at being the most prolific and least identifiable director in America: twelve films in eight years is eccentric energy now. Yet he recognized no limitations and came unscathed through Charles Bronson and Glenda Jackson, and some British over-appreciation of the deft melodramatics of Mandingo.
Since then, Fleischer has become a director who will do anything—and thus he seems to have no character. His work in the eighties was dire, but evidently he was obliged to do whatever was offered. As one who never thought much of Mandingo, it is necessary to stress that The Narrow Margin is still excellent, while many other Fleischer films are genuine entertainments.
