Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of Exploration, Vol. 6: North America The purpose of the present Reader, like that of the earlier volumes in the series, is to quicken interest in geography by stories of adventurous travel. It is not intended to serve as a history of North American exploration, but the hope is that it will afford an idea of some of the main steps by which knowledge has been gained of the vast regions now comprised in Canada and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Book of Exploration is a chronological tour of the history of exploration by an expert in the field and prolific world traveller, from the pioneering excursions of the ancient Egyptians to the first surface-based crossings of the top and bottom of the world." "Before the turn of the nineteenth century, ventures into uncharted lands required material or spiritual reward to justify the perils of shipwreck, hostile natives, and dangers yet unknown. Until recent times, exploration for the sake of knowledge alone was rare; it was mostly undertaken by intrepid traders, gold. seekers, and valiant Christian missionaries. The Book of Exploration presents more than 150 of the most influential and unusual journeys of discovery, setting each firmly in its historical context. Roy Howgego introduces heroic adventurers battling the elements and committing their findings to journals and maps, pioneers who risked everything in search of fabled riches, and explorers determined to conquer the deserts, poles, and oceans of the globe." "Organized chronologically, beautifully illustrated with contemporary maps, paintings, journal entries, and other artifacts, The Book of Exploration is a feast for the eye and an unparalleled resource." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: There are few thrills as exciting as weather at its worst. We often hear on the news that the day was the hottest, coldest, wettest, or snowiest on record. Is the climate really becoming more extreme as a result of global warming? The facts are in this book. Extensively illustrated with colour photographs of some of the most extreme weather ever captured on camera, more than fifty colour maps, and tables of weather records for over three hundred U.S. cities, this book is both an entertainment and an indispensable reference. Also included are historical examples of some of the more bizarre weather events observed: heat bursts, electrified dust storms, snow rollers, pink snowstorms, luminous tornadoes, falls of fish and toads, ball lightning, super bolts, and other strange meteorological events. Here's the must-have book for Weather Channel and Guinness Book of World Records fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greatest Adventure explores the past, present, and future of the space race. The space race was perhaps the greatest technological contest of the twentieth century. It was a thrilling era of innovation, discovery, and exploration, as astronauts and cosmonauts were launched on space missions of increasing length, complexity, and danger. The Greatest Adventure traces the events of this extraordinary period, describing the initial string of Soviet achievements: the first satellite in orbit; the first animal, man, and woman in space; the first spacewalk; as well as the ultimate US victory in the race to land on the moon. The book then takes the reader on a journey through the following decades of space exploration to the present time, detailing the many successes, tragedies, risks, and rewards of space exploration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the thirteen novels, Elizabeth Stanton and her group discover what is actually happening on their world of Tarra. Namely, the aliens created Tarra as a dumping ground for all their own spiritual beings that they found objectionable in their societies - those who upset their societies: scientists, revolutionaries, artists, great thinkers, and of course criminals. Thus, these three different alien societies dumped these unwanted beings on Tarra, their penal colony, forcing the beings into physical bodies with enough traumas so that the beings could not leave the bodies (until it died), were convinced that they were nothing more than a physical body, and could not remember their previous lives. Stanton and her group reverse all of this over many hundreds of years, drive out the aliens, and develop a therapy to undo this horrific damage to the people, set against the long term evolution of the many societies on Tarra. This is the sixth novel in the Elizabeth Stanton series. With the invention of the fast caravel, she embarks on an exploration of the entire world, becoming the first to sail around the world. They encounter many new civilizations that were totally unknown to the known world. However, always in mind is their mission to track down any surviving Grey Creatures or mantis monsters, who have been inflicting pain and aberrations upon the people of Tarra, and destroy them. Shocking is an understatement for what they find in many of these new lands. The many surviving mantis creatures are still active, brutalizing women. One by one, the explorers rescue numerous people who are in dire need, taking them to the safety of the Santi fortresses and the rehabilitation facilities of the Laird Foundation. As they nearly finish their voyages of discovery, they again run into more of the mantis creatures. This time, Elizabeth herself becomes a victim of their brutality. Yet, she recovers and continues her fight against these despicable aliens. However, few actually suspect the magnitude of the aberrations that these creatures have imbedded within the subconscious minds of the inhabitants of Tarra.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Librarians, learning support and academic staff could benefit from knowing more about the pathways that learners take through academic information: how they perceive, model and negotiate the information environment. With a richer understanding of our learners' individual journeys, we can make our interventions more relevant and more timely; we can structure our courses to allow pathfinding to develop; and we can help our learners to navigate reflectively through the sea of information. We present a range of information discovery journeys, from reflections upon formal search processes to a library fairy story. This book represents the richness of information discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here Grof presents a useful model of the psyche—a model extended by his thirty years of studying non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is useful for understanding such phenomena as shamanism, mysticism, psychedelic states, spontaneous visionary experiences, and psychotic episodes. The model is also useful in explaining the dynamics of experiential psychotherapies and a variety of sociopolitical manifestations such as war and revolution. This book might have been entitled Beyond Drugs. The second part describes the principles and process of the non-pharmacological technique developed by the author and his wife, Christina, for self-exploration and for psychotherapy. Grof explores in detail the components of this technique. He describes its method, its effective mechanisms, as well as its goals and potential. Its practice is simple, since it utilizes the natural healing capacity of the psyche.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 1293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his second expedition to the Pacific, in the years 1772-5, Captain James Cook made a voyage which, in the annals of exploration, is unsurpassed for grandeur of design and execution and for variety of experience. Cook traversed the Indian and Pacific Oceans in high latitudes, demonstrating that the supposed Southern continent could not extend north of 60°. Cook three times crossed the Antarctic Circle reaching his furthest south in 71° 10 ́, and he proved himself a master of navigation in ice. In the Pacific his discoveries or rediscoveries included the Tonga Islands, Easter Island, the Marquesas, the New Hebrides and New Caledonia, with the sub-antarctic islands of South Georgia and the South Sandwich group. Captain Furneaux, commanding the consort ship, examined the coasts of Tasmania. The written and graphic records left by Cook himself and by his officers, by the astronomer William Wales and the artist William Hodges, by the naturalists J.R. and George Forster are remarkable in their volume and vitality. The editor, Dr J.C. Beaglehole, here prints the full text of Cook’s own journal, constructed from two holograph MSS and several MS copies, and a great part of Wales’s journal. This facsimile edition reprints the edition of 1961 along with the Addenda and Corrigenda published in 1969. The illustrations originally in colour are reproduced in black-and-white, the fold-outs divided to fit on separate pages, and the volume split into two parts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of ten in the mid-1970's, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry. Since then, in addition to editing over 80 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian anthologies), David has written and published over 100 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of his own books, as well as anthologies and magazines. Now these are being collected - along with a few others that haven't been seen before. These first five volumes of The Collected Papers of Sherlock Holmes contained 77 of David's Holmesian stories, and now we present Volume VI - Muniments - with 21 more! Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
