Sinossi

In "Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America (Vol. 1&2)," Alexander Mackenzie presents an intricate narrative that chronicles his arduous explorations across North America, charting a course through uncharted territories from Montreal to the Pacific. Written in a clear yet engaging style, Mackenzie's work stands out for its meticulous detail and striking observations about the diverse landscapes and Indigenous cultures he encountered. The two volumes reflect the spirit of Enlightenment-era exploration, blending geography with personal reflection, while challenging contemporary notions about the vast, untamed wilderness of North America. Alexander Mackenzie, a Scottish-Canadian explorer and fur trader, was driven by both commercial interests and a genuine curiosity about the untrammeled beauty of the New World. Born into a family of traders, he leveraged his experiences with Indigenous tribes and his intimate knowledge of the geography to document his remarkable journeys, making significant contributions to cartography and the understanding of North American natural history. His pioneering spirit and profound respect for the land and its people echo throughout his work, providing insight into the complexities of colonial expansion. This seminal work is an essential resource for readers interested in the exploration narratives of the late 18th century, offering a compelling blend of adventure, scientific inquiry, and cultural exchange. Scholars of North American history, geography, and Indigenous studies will find immense value in Mackenzie's detailed descriptions and honest accounts, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the profound interactions between explorers and the continent.

A Nation Again - The inside...

Andy Bargh

A Nation Again is the chaotic tale of the Scotland men's team's return to a major tournament after more than 20 years in the wilderness. 
Ten had come and gone for Scotland since they reached France '98, but the birth of UEFA's Nations League offered a new route to glory. In early 2018, after a long search for Gordon Strachan's replacement, Alex McLeish became manager for a second time. Despite successfully navigating the Nations League group stage, it wasn't plain sailing, and his tenure ended after a shocking defeat at the start of Euro 2020 qualifying. 
With a play-off semi-final on the horizon, the Scottish FA turned to Steve Clarke, who took on the challenge of inspiring a team rooted in failure, creating a band-of-brothers mentality and figuring out how to organise this incredibly talented group of players. From a couple of the lowest lows, came the highest high. 
With exclusive memories and audio from those who were part of the journey, such as John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and David Marshall, this is the story of how Scotland finally became a nation again.

The Experiencer - Idealistic...

Tom W. Ottmar

The author firmly believes that the philosophical standpoint of idealism provides the correct understanding of the world. Nothing material exists; all are conceptions in a single, universal consciousness.
Is it possible? Is it likely?
This book shows that it is, in fact, the most likely explanation of all. In a mental world, it is easy to connect the natural sciences with humanistic fields such as psychology, language, music, sociology, ethics, religion – and everything else.
Common laws govern them all. Poetry and weather can be explained by the fundamental mechanisms of emergence and complexity dynamics. Economy, trees, gossip, elementary particles and cosmological events all follow the same laws in their development.
What, then, is a human being? What are life and death? What is time? You get specific answers.
The author says that he has ”known” things all his life, but it took many years before the knowledge entirely broke through. The first part of the book is about this awakening. You get to know precisely how it happened and what is required for it to occur.
The book’s second part presents a complete theory of the world. It is idealistic (Plato, Descartes), i.e. based on the fact that thought and consciousness are fundamental, while all the material things we see around us are mental conceptions which are also experienced as qualia; something tangible, felt, material, physical.
This is a book like no other, and it not only sets the mind spinning but presents what may well be an accurate description of the universe in which we live.
At the same time, it goes deep into being human; what it is in essence, and also why we experience life’s pain, fear, longing, etc. – and how we can live more in harmony with our authentic self, which is something quite different from what most people think.
