In the summer of 1026, a Viking chieftain named Thorsson and his crew sail along the coast of modern-day Maine in search of treasure. But when a mutiny breaks out and Thorsson is murdered, Thorsson curses the rebellious group with his last breath. In a final moment of rebellion, the men bury Thorsson's weapons outside of his grave, forever condemning him to never be taken to Valhalla, the goal of every Viking warrior. One thousand years later, fourteen-year-old Jonathan discovers Thorsson's rune stone, and the chieftain's spirit enters the boy's mind in an attempt to force him to reunite the slain Viking with his weapons. Terrified beyond description, Jonathan lives in a constant state of fear but no one believes his outlandish tale. As archeologists and shady collectors swirl around the grave site and its priceless artifacts, Jonathan is forced to take matters into his own hands or forever be tormented by the restless spirit. Filled with spooky twists and turns, The Viking: A Ghost Story is a thrilling tale from beginning to end.

This book presents evidence that infection is cyclical with the seasons, and that this phenomenon is mirrored in cycles of immune function. The book identifies the mechanisms by which immune systems are bolstered to counteract seasonally-recurrent stressors, such as extreme temperature reductions and food shortages. Stress, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and human cancers are examined, and the role of hormones such as melatonin and glucocorticoids is considered. The book begins with an overview of seasonality, biological rhythms and photoperiodism, and basic immunology, and then discusses seasonal fluctuations in disease prevalence, immune function, and energetics and endocrinology as they relate to immune function. The clinical significance of this issue is also addressed, as such seasonal changes may play an important role in the development and treatment of infections. This first monograph to examine seasonal immune function from an interdisciplinary perspective will serve practitioners as well as advanced undergraduates and graduate students in biology, immunology, human and veterinary medicine, neuroscience, endocrinology, and zoology.
