Orkneyinga
Saga: The History of the... Earls of Orkney. Written around
AD 1200 by an unnamed Icelandic author, the Orkneyinga Saga
is an intriguing fusion of myth, legend and history. The only
medieval chronicle to have Orkney as the central place of
action, it tells of an era when the islands were still part
of the Viking world, beginning with their conquest by the
kings of Norway in the ninth century. The saga describes the
subsequent history of the Earldom of Orkney and the adventures
of great Norsemen such as Sigurd the Powerful, St Magnus the
Martyr and Hrolf, the conqueror of Normandy. Savagely powerful
and poetic, this is a fascinating depiction of an age of brutal
battles, murder, sorcery and bitter family feuds. Orkney

Orkney
Nature The Orkneys have been strangely neglected by naturalists
when compared to Shetland or western Scotland, although they
have long been a place of pilgrimage for archaeologists and
historians. This book is an antidote to the neglect, making
available the islands' animals, plants, and scenic history
to casual readers as well as to specialists. The Orkney Islands
are a special place, both in terms of their natural history
and human inhabitants. Their rich coastal habitats lost significant
seabird colonies and marine communities. Their northerly position
provides a major land fall for migratory birds. In human terms,
traditional lifestyles of fishing and crafting vie with modern
industries, such as oil, leading to conflicts of both human
and wildlife conservation dimensions. This book paints a broad
picture of the natural and manmade environments. Orkney

The
Grand Scuttle: The Sinking of the... German Fleet at Scapa
Flow in 1919. At Scapa Flow on 21 June 1919, there occurred
a very unusual event in naval history. The German Admiral
in charge of 74 of his countries warships ordered that the
fleet be scuttled. The High Sees Fleet of the German Royal
Navy was one of the most formidable ever built, yet 52 of
the ships were deliberately sent to the bottom of the British
Grand Fleet's principal anchorage at Orkney. The book reports
that Admiral Ludwig von Reuter became the only man in history
to sink his own navy on the strength of a misleading report
in a four-day old British newspaper; the Royal Navy guessed
his intention but could do nothing about it; the sinking produced
the last casualties and the last prisoners of the war. The
author looks at the events leading up to and including the
scuttling.
