Sinopse

The Shipwreck Secrets explores the captivating realm of maritime archaeology, revealing the hidden histories preserved within sunken vessels. This book delves into the science of uncovering these underwater time capsules, emphasizing both the thrill of adventure and the critical importance of historical preservation. Shipwrecks are more than just maritime accidents; they're invaluable archaeological sites, offering unique insights into past societies. For instance, examining a wreck can reveal details about a ship's construction, the daily lives of its crew, and even trade routes of the time.

 
The book progresses by first introducing maritime archaeology's fundamental concepts and ethical considerations. It then examines the lives of crew and passengers through artifacts found on board, followed by the technology used in shipwreck discovery, such as sonar and ROVs. Case studies of famous shipwrecks, from ancient Roman vessels to more recent losses, provide detailed examples of their historical context and the circumstances of their sinking. This approach ensures accessibility to a wide audience by blending rigorous research with engaging storytelling.

Inside Qatar - Hidden Stories from the World’s Richest Nation - cover

Inside Qatar - Hidden Stories...

An intimate portrait of life in the world’s richest nation ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup. 
 
Just 70 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts. 
 
INSIDE QATAR reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar’s time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded princes, manual labourers and domestic workers, its teachers and policemen, culture vultures and thrill seekers. 
 
“A stunning exposé... A social anthropologist by trade, McManus's focus is not on the secretive intrigues of Qatar's ruling family, but on the lives of ordinary people... McManus is an engaging writer, who can bring even anonymous interviewees to life.” TELEGRAPH

Newlywed Lisa Niver was on the adventure of a lifetime. She had quit her job, rented out her condo, and was traveling around Asia. To the outside world, Niver was a woman living out her dreams of exploring ancient ruins in Cambodia and seeing orangutans in Borneo. In private, she was keeping a dark secret. But, when she found herself lying on a sidewalk in Thailand, looking up at the sky in severe pain, she knew things had to change. At age forty-seven, Niver found the courage to set course on a new life. 
 
 
 
Feeling like a failure, pushing fifty, and moving home to her parents' house to start again from scratch, Niver started taking one tiny "brave-ish" step at a time. These small hurdles led to the challenge of trying fifty new things before turning fifty. Niver found herself traversing the world on a journey of reinvention, personal growth, and discovering what it actually means to be "brave." 
 
 
 
While Brave-ish chronicles Niver's inspiring expeditions to distant corners of the world including Myanmar, Cuba, Morocco, Kenya and Mongolia this is more than a travelogue. Niver's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. Brave-ish inspires listeners to dream big, take risks, and embrace the unknown to create a life filled with wonder and excitement, even when courage seems elusive.
