History of Denmark - A Captivating Guide to Danish History

Captivating History

Sinopsis

For centuries, Denmark "punched above its weight" and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.
Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.
Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more "punch above its weight." But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
You will discover many astounding facts about Denmark's history in this book. Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following:

- Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world's "happiest" countries?
- Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age?
- Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden?
- Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!)
- How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today?
- What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power? What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?  
You'll find these answers and many more in Captivating History's History of Denmark!

The Things We Make - The Unknown...

Bill Hammack

Discover the secret method used to build the world . . . 
 
 
 
For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives. 
 
 
 
Bill Hammack, a Carl Sagan Award–winning professor of engineering and viral "The Engineer Guy" on YouTube, has a lifelong passion for the things we make, and how we make them. Now, for the first time, he reveals the invisible method behind every invention and takes us on a whirlwind tour of how humans built the world we know today. From the grand stone arches of medieval cathedrals to the mundane modern soda can, Hammack explains the golden rule of thumb that underlies every new building technique, every technological advancement, and every creative solution that leads us one step closer to a better, more functional world. Spanning centuries and cultures, Hammack offers a fascinating perspective on how humans engineer solutions in a world full of problems.

Anatolia in the Iron Age: The...

Editors Charles River

During the Late Bronze Age, from about 1500-1200 BCE, the Near East was a time and place where great kingdoms and empires vied for land and influence, playing high stakes diplomatic games, trading, and occasionally going to war with each other in the process. The Egyptians, Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, and several smaller Canaanite kingdoms were all part of this system, which was one of the first true “global” systems in world history and also one of the most materially prosperous eras in antiquity.  
Thus, the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age during the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE arguably changed the structure and course of world history more fundamentally than any period before or since, and at the center of this period of turmoil was a group of people known today as the Sea Peoples, the English translation of the name given to them by the Egyptians. Despite their prominent role in history, however, the Sea Peoples remain as mysterious as they were influential; while the Egyptians documented their presence and the wars against them, it has never been clear exactly where the Sea Peoples originated from, or what compelled them to invade various parts of the region with massive numbers. Whatever the reason, the Sea Peoples posed an existential threat to the people already living in the region, as noted by an Egyptian inscription: “The foreign countries made a conspiracy in their islands. All at once the lands were removed and scattered in the fray. No land could stand before their arms: from Hatti, Qode, Carchemish, Arzawa and Alashiya on, being cut off at one time. A camp was set up in Amurru. They desolated its people, and its land was like that which has never come into being. They were coming forward toward Egypt, while the flame was prepared before them."

FREEDOM: The Authorized...

Olson Twain, Ruby Tai

The nature of money as gates and letters revealed gives light to the nations of humankind to find in troubled times a historic luxury and modern necessity in the FML FIREs: these are the first constitutional centers of foundation money law governance and the prize of digital revolution. Through the architectures in the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, Intel-Modernized Governance from each city center in vertical international parallel selects for the lettered gates of economic FREEDOM and systemically discriminates against and shuts down the old capitalist unlimited extremist forms lettered as DEATH. Free artists, the Rolling service, Experts, Élites, Developers, Officers and Managers are the chosen occupational categories in the foundation money law range. Each HOME Medallion bank card that is encoded to FREEDOM is recognized by our constitutional conscience in the FML FIREs as constitutionally fit to transact. Each nation is redeemed with a capitalist ltd olympic spirit infused economy. As we no longer merely pay taxes to the discretion of full grey governments, the contingent capitalist excesses fall away and the suite of necessarily capitalist ltd institutions and businesses emerge. Prior to the digital revolution, the foundation money law was ungovernable and thus irrelevant: though now from each city central FML FIRE, Intel-Modernized Governance center-checks every Medallion Bank Card in transaction. The eyes behind the FML FIRE, in three charismatic forms, see through the top layer of the double blue ON/E Divide, travelling the speed of light to protect both the three and national class ruling structure from trespass and the first freedom of every man to earn and build HOME Wealth from trespass. It is finally with our HOME Patriot Medallions’ support that the ON/E Divide vertical boundary is built between the capitalist ltd economy that lives above and the five occupational evils that die below.
