‘My name is Uhtred. I am the son of Uhtred, who was the son of Uhtred, and his father was also called Uhtred.’
This is the eighth instalment in the Saxon Series, set in 10th century Mercia and Northumbria, featuring my hero Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Uhtred, raised by the Danes is a pagan warlord, fighting on the side of the Saxons – especially at the side of King Alfred’s daughter Aethelflaed ‘the Lady of the Mercians’.

The forces of Wessex and Mercia have united against the Danes, but the instability of Britain’s kingdoms is made worse by the continued threat of Viking raids. Aethelred, Lord of the Mercians is dying, and there is no clear successor Uhtred supports Athelflaed to be the next ruler, but can a woman be accepted even if that woman is the wife of Aethelred and the sister of the king of Wessex? Uhtred himself is still suffering from the wound he received at the end of the previous instalment and is vulnerable. He’s in a reflective mood as well, thinking of the past and family, instructing his son on how to be a warrior...

What's here is excellent, what mssing is dangerous
Loved the book... tempted to give it 5-stars.

THIS REVIEW IS ON THE UNCORRECTED PROOF.

This book is going to be controversial.. For instance Dr. Jensen wants to break stereo types but tends to reinforce them (e.g. girls are more susceptible to the effects of alcohol, more susceptible to concussions, and lose higher math and science interest/abilities as they age).

There are two glaring issues with this book.

First she tends to guess... a lot. The language used in these guesses is subtle but still there (from an academic point of view). I'm not sure why "evolution" has to be the excuse for an educated guess... but that is one of the nuanced clues. [In all fairness, the copy of the book does NOT include where the end notes will be placed.]

The second issue is that she omits "the big one." You know the talk you fear having with your child... She completely leaves out the issue of sexual behavior. There are some...

Absolutely brilliant!

An absolutely brilliant book! Superbly written, engaging, simple explanations of complex concepts - often reads like a good novel. I learned so much reading this book - more than I ever learned in geography and history at school! The ability of the author to summarise the entire history of humankind is amazing. I liked the fact, too, that he had opinions that he argued for. This is a stunning book and a must-read for anyone interested in humanity, how we got where we are, and where we are headed. Can't recommend it highly enough.

√ Practical, Lots of Good Ideas
THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED is an extensive investigation into why kids are spoiled--and more importantly, what we can do to avoid that mistake.

There are lots of practical tips, interviews, and stories from families that have tried different methods to make your kids
value work and spend their money wisely. For example, the author gives an example of one family that calculates the most fun per dollar spent on their recreation. The whole family gets together and discusses what's the best use of their money.

Ron notes that spoiled kids have four things in common. First, they don't have many chores; second they don't have any rules; thirdly they have lots of free time assistance; and fourthly, they have a lot of stuff.

Here are some other great ideas:

♦ It's important to talk to your kids about money matters; "Take out the bills and show them. Let them ask all the questions they want."

♦ Teach kids delayed...
