Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are 2 parts to the book. The first section covers some of the important events that took place around the world, from the early part of the 19th century, up to the years following World War II. It features the 2 men that I have always admired, both of whom planned and fought against tyranny. Neither of these men actually used weapons in the Second World War, but they did what they had to do, to preserve our freedom. The 2 men are Sir Winston Churchill and my father, both of whom had army careers, dad's lasting for 31 years. Churchill's was a much shorter span, before he moved into Politics. The second part of the book gives details of my travels around the world to 42 countries. To do this, I fl ew a total of 964,995 miles, taking 1430 fl ights on 91 different types of aircraft. In addition I have traveled far more than a million miles by car. There were many times that I got very close to having my life cut short, but somehow I managed to survive, as I am still here at age 79. It was all very interesting to me and I hope that I have been able to convey some of this excitement in what I have written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography in all seven continents and wildly different islands inspired photojournalist Marion Kaplan to pack the madly mixed results — old photos in black-and-white to sparkling digital colour — into one book. Along with her text blending history, personal viewpoint and anecdote, here is an exuberant view of much of the world as she found it. Her travels include a two-year solo hitchhike from South Africa to Morocco in the early 1960s, when she was young and trusting, and a five-month voyage in an Arab dhow from Dubai to East Africa on assignment for National Geographic. Stories became her meat and drink, initially in Africa where, as freelance, she worked for Time and Newsweek, and the UK’s The Observer and The Times. Now she is in her 80s, and Marion Kaplan is worried—not for herself but for planet Earth. The changing climate, she despairs, is taking lands, oceans, peoples and wildlife into unknown and frightening realms. “But there is still excellent reporting and superb photography on our marvellous planet, and science watches closely. Let us hope they prevail.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the time of Napoleon, the most ambitious effort to explore and map the Nile was undertaken by the Ottomans, as attested by two monumental documents: an elaborate map, with 475 rubrics, and a lengthy travel account. Both were achieved at about the same time—c. 1685—and both by the same man. Evliya Çelebi’s account of his Nile journeys, in the tenth volume of his Book of Travels (Seyahatname), has been known to the scholarly world since 1938, when that volume was first published. The map, held in the Vatican Library, has been studied since at least 1949. Numerous new critical editions of both the map and the text have been published over the years, each expounding upon the last in an attempt to reach a definitive version. The Ottoman Explorations of the Nile provides a more accurate translation of the original travel account. Furthermore, the maps themselves are reproduced in greater detail and vivid color, and there are more cross-references to the text than in any previous edition. This volume gives equal weight and attention to the two parts that make up this extraordinary historical document, allowing readers to study the map or the text independently, while also using each to elucidate and accentuate the details of the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which was first published in 1960, tells of Brother Solomon Leclercq, Secretary of the Institute during the French Revolution. Brother Solomon is one of the martyrs of the French revolution and the Secretary-General of the Institute at that time. His story is compelling. Once the monarchy had been overthrown early in the French Revolution, the next target was the Church. In 1790 the Civil Constitution of the Clergy gave the state complete control over the Church in France. In order to continue to function, priests and religious were forced to take an oath to support the constitution. Most of the Brothers refused and so were forced gradually to abandon their schools and communities. Eventually the Institute was deprived altogether of legal status in France. Brother Solomon was secretary to Brother Agathon, the Superior General, after having been a teacher, director and bursar. He always showed a great love for people and a great attachment to his work. Having refused to take an oath, he lived alone in Paris in secrecy. We still have many of his letters to his family. The last one is dated August 15, 1792. That very day he was arrested and imprisoned in the Carmelite monastery, which had become a prison, together with several bishops and priests. On September 2, almost all the prisoners were killed by sword in the monastery garden. He was beatified on October 17, 1926, together with 188 of his fellow martyrs. He was the first one of our martyrs and also the first Brother to be beatified.

Book excerpt: The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time Changes Everything By: Christopher T. Ihekweazu Mike Ike, was fresh from continental war and civil war was in the offing. To avoid military conscription, he relocated from an inner city to Ala City, the capital of D.C., where he accidentally met a glowing object in a human form that later, became his wife. Their relationship sent series of shock-waves across the city. People could not believed what they were hearing and began asking, "Why Mr. President? Why the nation's First Lady?” But what happened towards the end of their life made local, national, and international headline news. The nation's First Lady, who propelled the President to fame, wealth, power, and even saved him from going to jail, was divorced. While the President re-married, the First Lady remained faithful until her death. The President’s star began to dim. Although Jemimah-the-Beautiful, the nation's First Lady, became a bird without a nest, her beauty remained incorruptible regardless of age. Celebrities from the country and around the world thronged the nation's capital, just to have a glimpse of the epitome of beauty before their own death. The world was shocked and mankind, from that day on, began to realize and believe that truly in life, Time Changes Everything. After the death of the First Family and under the military command of General Ebenezer Joshua, Diamond Coast, the Switzerland of the continent evolved into utopian republics as a soothsayer had earlier predicted. Time Changes Everything is a novel that encompasses ... leaving the reader wondering why ...

Book excerpt: Ocean-going Arab dhows were fast disappearing when, in 1974, National Geographic published 'Twilight of the Arab dhow' by Marion Kaplan, a British-born photojournalist and writer then based in Kenya. For a firsthand view of the ancient trading voyage Marion Kaplan travelled from Kuwait to Dubai on a small Gulf dhow, then from Dubai to Mombasa and down the African coast aboard a larger dhow. She began her voyage as passenger. She ended it as crew. Now, when the world's oldest commercial sailing route has faded into oblivion, she recounts her adventure, with numerous unpublished photos, in So Old a Ship. This is the last close look by an outsider at dhow people, dhow trading and dhow life before those lovely wooden ships were gone forever.
