Sinossi

Sailing History presents a fascinating journey through humanity's relationship with maritime navigation, exploring how sailing evolved from basic rafts to sophisticated racing vessels while profoundly shaping global civilization.

 
The book masterfully weaves together three crucial narratives: the technical evolution of sailing vessels, sailing's role in economic development, and its transformation from a survival necessity to a competitive sport. Through meticulous research incorporating archaeological findings, historical documents, and maritime records, readers gain unprecedented insights into how different cultures independently developed their sailing technologies.

 
The chronological progression takes readers from ancient Polynesian and Mediterranean seafaring cultures through the age of Viking longships and Chinese junks, to modern Olympic sailing competitions. Particularly intriguing are the detailed examinations of how various vessel designs reflected their cultural contexts and how weather pattern understanding revolutionized navigation methods.

 
The book's exploration of underwater archaeological discoveries reveals previously unknown aspects of historical sailing practices, adding fresh perspective to our understanding of maritime history. Drawing from naval architectural records and shipping manuscripts, the work skillfully bridges the gap between academic research and practical application, making complex concepts accessible to both maritime historians and sailing enthusiasts.

 
The book's unique value lies in its comprehensive approach to connecting past and present, demonstrating how ancient sailing wisdom continues to influence modern maritime practices, from competitive sailing to sustainable transportation solutions. This thorough examination of sailing's evolution provides readers with a deep appreciation for how maritime technology has shaped our world.

Strange Archaeology of Canada

George Mitrovic

Who would think that some of the oldest human remains found in North America would be found in Canada. This is on top of, or should I say beneath, the remains of Viking Settlements and even earlier Irish Settlements. Who else has visited Canada in the Past? You will have to listen to the book to find out. After all, Gardar, the seat of the Bishops in Greenland, with its own cathedral, was only 570 miles to the east of the Newfoundland coast. This is virtually a short boat trip to the Vikings. And what of the massive stone ruins found at Ungava Bay, well past the Arctic Circle. All these and more are in this book. I hope that you enjoy it.

Gangland

Anonimo

New Zealand's underworld of organised crime and deadly gangs 
  
'The best true-crime book of the year by a long stretch.'- Steve Braunias, Newsroom  
'A series of rip-snorting yarns about gangs, drugs, fancy cars, wads of cash, violence, and guns - Aotearoa New Zealand style.' 
- Simon Bridges 
New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organised crime is about making money. It's a business. But over the past 20 years, the dealers have graduated from motorcycle gangs to Asian crime syndicates and now the most dangerous drug lords in the world - the Mexican cartels. 
In Gangland, award-winning investigative reporter Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand's rising underworld of organised crime and violent gangs. 
The brutal execution of a husband-and-wife; the undercover cop who infiltrated a casino VIP lounge; the midnight fishing trip which led to the country's biggest cocaine bust; the gangster who shot his best friend in a motorcycle shop: these stories go behind the headlines and open the door to an invisible world - a world where millions of dollars are made, life is cheap, and allegiances change like the flick of a switch.
