Amid a recent surge in arguments that the global economy has begun to "de-globalize," a question has emerged: will globalization survive? In One From the Many: The Global Economy Since 1850, Christopher M. Meissner argues that based on the long-run of history, globalization will not be easily vanquished.

At the same time, the potential adverse effects of greater integration must be acknowledged, mitigated, and minimized.

Age of Wolf and Wind provides a new introduction to the Viking Age that capitalizes on recent archaeological discoveries and breakthroughs in the application of analytical techniques from the natural sciences.
