Synopsis

In "Catching of the Whale and Seal," the anonymous author presents a vivid and immersive exploration of marine hunting practices, intricately woven into the cultural fabric of coastal communities. This work combines rich observational detail with lyrical prose, capturing the rhythm of life on the water and the profound connection between humanity and nature. With profound ethical considerations at its core, the book situates itself within the broader discourse on environmentalism, colonialism, and indigenous rights, intertwining ecological awareness with the poetry of survival. The anonymity of the author invites speculation about their perspective, which may stem from personal experiences with whaling and sealing or from deep-seated cultural heritage. This obscured identity contributes to the work's timeless quality, allowing the text to resonate universally across generations. The author's choice to remain unnamed may reflect a collective voice intended to amplify often marginalized narratives surrounding traditional hunting methods in the face of modern ecological challenges. "Catching of the Whale and Seal" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the interplay between human traditions and environmental sustainability. Rich in detail and layered with historical significance, it offers profound insights into the ethics of resource use and the intimate relationships between communities and their natural surroundings, warranting a place in both scholarly discourse and general readership.

    In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

    Florida's Space Coast tells the compelling story of America's half century in space exploration from the successful launch of the first two-stage rocket in 1950 through the space shuttle missions of 2000. Told from the unique viewpoint of the people who built the Spaceport, this book shows how the space program transformed the east central Florida coast from a traditional citrus production and tourist area to one of the most influential high-tech centers in the nation. 
     
     
     
    Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site because of its many geographical advantages. However, in the early years of the space program, the area was far from an ideal place for NASA employees to raise their families. NASA brought in thousands of space-related workers, who, besides sending machines and people into space, had to meet the challenge of moving their families from urban environs to a rural southern county. This book engagingly recounts the parallel stories of the establishment of America's space program and its impact on the development of Brevard County.

    'A beautiful, insightful and thought-provoking book with the power to change how you see travel - and life'. Pip Stewart
    Why We Travel is a smart-thinking travel book, which uses travel as a window into human motivations. It explores what we can gain from venturing out into the world.
    It threads together reflective memoir, evocative travelogue, research, conversation, advice and big ideas. Some of the travels are epic adventures; others are closer to home; and some are journeys of internal exploration.
    Each journey is a window into one of 12 motivations for travel: Curiosity, Inspiration, Happiness, Creativity, Serendipity, Hardship, Service, Healing, Wonder, Empathy, Eroticism, and Hope. By unpacking these motivations, and digging into the science of where they come from, this book asks how travel intersects with the rest of our lives, answering key questions such as:
    Why do we travel? How do we do it better? Can it help us to live more fulfilling lives?
    Why We Travel will give you a fascinating insight into where your motivations come from and inspire you to think about travel from a new and exciting perspective.
