Sinopse

Paths Erased explores the fascinating world of ancient roads and lost pathways, revealing how these forgotten routes shaped civilizations. The book highlights the intricate relationships between societies and their environments by examining the construction, utilization, and eventual abandonment of these vital arteries.

 
Discover how the Roman road system facilitated trade and military campaigns, while also acknowledging the environmental impact and displacement of indigenous populations caused by routes like the Oregon Trail.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the historical and archaeological significance of "erased paths." It then examines the environmental changes, political instability, and technological advancements that led to their disappearance, such as the Mayan causeways' abandonment due to deforestation.

 
Finally, the book details the methods used by archaeologists and historians to rediscover these pathways, including satellite imagery analysis and archaeological excavation. By studying these forgotten routes, we gain a unique lens through which to understand the dynamics of past civilizations and draw lessons for present-day challenges in infrastructure and cultural preservation.

In the Arctic Seas - A Narrative...

The Baruntse Adventure - In the...

Mark Horrell

Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty. 
The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again. 
Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary’s footsteps – at least some of the way. He hoped to climb Baruntse, but when he arrived, he learned of a terrible accident that had shaken the climbing community and would threaten his plans. 
Yet one of the virtues of climbing in the Himalayas is that just reaching a mountain can be a great adventure. Join Mark on an entertaining journey across jungle, moorland, hill and valley to the frozen heights of the Barun Plateau.
