Book Synopsis The Fateful Journey by : Robert Joost Willink
Download or read book The Fateful Journey written by Robert Joost Willink and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bold, headstrong, and fabulously wealthy, Dutch traveller Alexine Tinne (1834–1869) made several excursions into the African interior, often accompanied by her mother, at a time when very few European women traveled. The Fateful Journey follows her trip with German zoologist Theodor von Heuglin, which took them through Egypt and Sudan in search of adventure and unknown regions in Central Africa.. Drawing upon four years of research in the Tinne archives, and including never before published correspondence, photographs, and other documents, Robert Joost Willink presents a compelling account of their journey and its tragic ending. This exciting volume not only sheds light on Tinne's life and times, it also offers captivating insights into the world of European adventurers in the 19th century. An enthralling mix of adventure and careful scholarship, The Fateful Journey creates a powerful portrait of Alexine Tinne throughout her life, from her start as a rich heiress in the Netherlands to her end as the intrepid explorer who risked—and lost—everything on a daring, doomed quest.

Book Synopsis Secrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic by : Hanne Overgaard Mogensen
Download or read book Secrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic written by Hanne Overgaard Mogensen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A narrative ethnography about a Ugandan woman and her relatives, this novelistic, fine-grained volume shows how global questions of responsibility and inequity travel in family networks and confront people with decisions about life and death. It is a story of existence under extremely challenging conditions, about belonging and marginalization, about the opacity and ambiguity of social relations, and about growing up in a country haunted by violence and civil war only to be later lifted by optimism and devastated anew by the AIDS epidemic. The story draws on long-term fieldwork and letters from the woman who takes centre stage in the story, while at once providing unique and privileged insight into the ethical challenges of a research method that demands personal involvement that is ultimately withdrawn for scholarly analysis.

Book Synopsis Search for the Nile's Source by : John Humphries
Download or read book Search for the Nile's Source written by John Humphries and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The source of the Nile had long eluded and tormented explorers, and John Hanning Speke’s discovery of Lake Victoria in 1858 elevated him to the pantheon of heroes of African exploration, alongside Livingstone and Stanley. But the part played by the Welsh mining engineer John Petherick in the discovery was ignored after he was branded a slave trader by Speke, and the controversy that followed ended with Petherick ruined and Speke dead. This first biography of Petherick places him at the centre of one of the great discoveries in African exploration – and as the focus of a dispute that rocked the geographical establishment. Was Petherick a rogue, as portrayed by some, or the victim of a conspiracy that destroyed his reputation and denied him a share of the credit for his part in one of the greatest feats in African exploration?
Book Synopsis A Woman of Quality by : Jan Westcott
Download or read book A Woman of Quality written by Jan Westcott and published by eNet Press. This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a beautiful young aristocrat living in Amsterdam chooses to marry Nicolas Theros, a man born on an island in Greece with a lust for life and the power of the ancients in his blood, the city is rocked by scandal. Twenty years later, Nico Theros is once again the subject of gossip. Although he is now a rich man and the Greek Consulate General, he must soon stand on trial for cheating the Dutch government -- and a most unforgiving judge of foreigners who dare to break Dutch laws. The Theros family lives in a tall double house on one of the most coveted streets of nineteenth century Amsterdam. Anna Bakels, Nico's steadfast and still stunningly beautiful wife, runs the household along with her mother, a shrewd business woman in her own right who continues to contribute to the dwindling Theros fortune and upon whom their survival may rest. She and Anna supervise the proper upbringing of the seven Theros children (the three oldest are away at school) as well as an extensive household staff -- a cook, a governess, the children's nurse, housemaids, parlor maids, seamstresses, barbers, and a brawny chauffeur. Among the staff is Kaatje, the first parlormaid, who falls in love with Nico's younger brother, Edward -- handsome and charming, but afflicted with a fatal disease. As Edward's health declines and as the court's verdict is announced, both women find themselves facing lives bereft of the men they love, and with challenges to test their strength and define their futures. Author Jan Westcott's father was born in Holland and her portrayal of the lives of the Theros family reflects her father's love of Holland. Written with great authenticity and detail, A Woman of Quality is a sweeping and sizzling historical romance about nineteenth century Dutch aristocracy with its ties of loyalty and illicit love that bind the members of a great family and the men and women who serve them.

This book was released on 2019-12-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In “Hidden in History: The Untold Stories of Female Explorers and Adventurers,” travel the globe — and history. While it’s fairly common to have women researchers, pilots, and captains in the 21st century, this was not always the case. Exploring and adventuring, even in the name of science and research, were privileged activities reserved solely for men. But some women just couldn’t stay put, even when faced with the harsh resistance of those who favored the norm. These women broke with convention and trekked into the unknown, paving the way for women of today to seek adventure as they see fit. In 1766, Jeanne Baret performed botanical research as she made a complete voyage around the world, making her the first woman ever recorded to do so. Marguerite Hay Drummond-Hay became the first woman to circumnavigate the globe from the sky when she flew around the world in a zeppelin prior to World War II. Louise Arner Boyd traveled to the Arctic in 1926 –– a hard journey even in modern times. Now we have women like Sylvia Earle, a world-renowned oceanographer and the first woman to walk on the ocean floor, and Barbara Hillary, the first woman of color to travel to both the North and the South Pole. With this installment in the Hidden in History series, readers can explore for themselves the exciting stories, harrowing adventures, and meaningful research conducted by these daring women. No longer forgotten in the past, the adventurous women of yesterday can once again inspire tomorrow’s explorers to chart their own expeditions into the great unknown.

Book excerpt: "A beautifully wrought tale full of characters that live and breathe. This surprising story from Strobel, a bold and engaging storyteller, left me sighing with pleasure and wanting more. She's not to be missed." —CLAUDIA MAIR BURNEY, author of Murder, Mayhem, and a Fine Man Between here and the past, there lies a place—a place of longing for what has been rather than hoping for what could be. A true artist, Violette is passionate and emotional. Climbing back into life after suffering a loss, she teeters on the precipice of a new relationship with Christian, a psychologist who not only understands her struggles but offers safety and his heart. As Violette and Christian begin to feel something they both thought impossible, tragedy strikes again. Violette becomes trapped in a place of past memories—and she finds that she may not want to come back. What would it be like to choose a place between the past and the present?
