With settlements stretching across a vast expanse and with legends of their exploits extending even farther, the Vikings were the most far-flung and feared people of their time. Yet the archaeological and historical records are so scant that the true nature of Viking civilization remains shrouded in mystery. In this richly illustrated volume, twelve leading scholars draw on the latest research and archaeological evidence to provide the clearest picture yet of this fabled people. Painting a fascinating portrait of the influences that the "Northmen" had on foreign lands, the contributors trace Viking excursions to the British Islands, Russia, Greenland, and the northern tip of Newfoundland, which the Vikings called "Vinlund." We meet the great Viking kings: from King Godfred, King of the Danes, who led campaigns against Charlemagne in Saxony, to King Harald Bluetooth, the first of the Christian rulers, who helped unify Scandinavia and introduced a modern infrastructure of bridges and roads. The volume also looks at the day-to-day social life of the Vikings, describing their almost religious reverence for boats and boat-building, and their deep bond with the sea that is still visible in the etymology of such English words as "anchor," "boat," "rudder," and "fishing," all of which can be traced back to Old Norse roots. But perhaps most importantly, the book goes a long way towards answering the age-old question of who these intriguing people were. From sagas to shipbuilding, from funeral rites to the fur trade, this superb volume is an indispensable guide to the Viking world.Binding Type: Paperback

Durable Interactive Dog Toy with Bluetooth Sounds – Perfect for Dogs Who Love Cat-Style Toys
This interactive dog toy is surprisingly durable and very engaging, especially for dogs that love cat-style toys. My dog is obsessed with cat toys and also always wants to destroy something, so this toy is a perfect match. The Bluetooth sound feature makes it even more fun and interactive.
Pros
• Very durable main body made of hard plastic; my dog hasn’t been able to destroy it
• Great for dogs that like “mouser-style” toys
• Bluetooth feature lets you play animal sounds or music (I use Spotify dog playlists)
• Three different modes and very easy to switch
• Interactive and mentally stimulating
• Comes with two replaceable ropes, which I’m really happy about
Cons
• The ropes don’t last long for strong chewers
• The top part where the rope is attached can be chewed
Overall
Honestly, if there weren’t any parts my dog could destroy, he probably wouldn’t find the toy interesting. That’s why I’m actually happy it comes with two ropes that I can attach and replace. The ropes are inexpensive and easy to swap out, so it’s not really a downside for us. Overall, this is a fun and clever toy that keeps my dog entertained. 🐶

Great for 2 Days…see comments
So it’s great toy and had our dog entertained immediately. However probably won’t last very long with medium to large dogs that gets obsessed with killing every toy you give them. Our Pitt mix loved this until she ended it by chewing through the heavy plastic ring that keeps the ropes connected. Without the noted ropes attached, the toy cannot move around. Basically ending the fun. Would be great to start a puppy or smaller dog on. It has multiple modes and is noise and proximity activated. Our dog was obsessed but sadly it was no match for her. 3 stars only because it didn’t last more than two days with our dog.

Good but not tough
My dog loved it but he figured out how to open it pretty quickly. I think I’m doomed to never find an interactive dog toy that can survive my golden

Obsessed, crappy rope
My pitbull mix is obsessed! I was worried he might break it, but he has used it everyday for the past week and we've had no issues. The reason I docked a star is because the rope it comes with lasts minutes. I'm still trying to figure out a good solution of what to tie onto the top. Regardless, he loves it without anything on it, but he chews on the connector piece so I'm worried he will break it if I let him go.

Good For Heavy Chewers So Far
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
Solid quality. My Doberman is a power chewer and I am looking for a toy that he can't destroy in 2 seconds. If a ball lasts more than an hour it is a miracle. It has a sturdy design and is more heavy weight than the other "non-destructible" balls he has. He has only had his ball for one day so we will see how long this ball lasts him. It is the size of a tennis ball, firm, little to no bounce, and seems built for heavy chewing.
