Sinopse

In "The First Voyage Round the World, by Magellan," Antonio Pigafetta chronicles the epic expedition that marked humanity's first circumnavigation of the globe. Written in a detailed, firsthand narrative style, the book intertwines rich descriptions of newly encountered lands, peoples, and cultures with the trials and tribulations faced by the crew. Pigafetta's meticulous observations reflect the spirit of Renaissance exploration, combining elements of travel literature with historical documentation, highlighting the convergence of science and adventure during the Age of Discovery. Antonio Pigafetta, a Venetian scholar and explorer, joined Ferdinand Magellan's fleet in 1519, driven by a profound curiosity about the world and its peoples. His privileged position as the voyage's chronicler allowed him to document pivotal moments, including the encounter with the indigenous peoples of the Philippines and the harsh realities of maritime exploration. Pigafetta's account offers crucial insights into the societal norms, customs, and imaginations of the time, contextualizing the profound impacts of European exploration on global history. This remarkable narrative is an essential read for anyone interested in maritime history, cultural exchange, and the spirit of exploration. Pigafetta's vivid storytelling not only immerses readers in the journey but also invites reflection on the complexities of exploration and its lasting legacy. Engage with this foundational text to appreciate the triumphs and tribulations of one of history's most significant voyages.

    A group of Brahmins from Telangana had come to Pune and indulged in several incidents of irregular behaviour that disturbed the peace. They disobeyed the regulations and indulged in theft and rioting. On 29 August that year, thirty-five Telanga Brahmins were apprehended by a police officer on duty and shut up in a room in the chowky at Bhavani peth. Ghashiram personally did not visit the prison cell, which was in the form of a tunnel with poor ventilation. The prisoners remained in the cell for an entire day and a night and on the third morning, Manaji Phakde (a cousin of Mahadji Scindia) was passing that way, when he heard noises. He personally went to the cell
    and broke open the locks to find that twenty-one of the Telanga Brahmins had died. He promptly informed Nana and the Peshwa of the tragedy.

    If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark. 
     
     
     
    Sugar-sweetened beverages are the single item in the American diet that most contributes to the epidemic of chronic disease—in particular, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and Coca-Cola is America's favorite sugar-sweetened beverage, by far. Carpenter details how the Coca-Cola corporation's sophisticated shadow network has masterfully spread disinformation for decades to hide the health risks of its product from consumers—risks disproportionately borne by Black, brown, and low-income communities. Working from a playbook of obfuscation and pseudoscience that has worked well for other harmful products, from tobacco and trans fats to opioids, Coca-Cola has managed to maintain an aura of goodness and happiness. This eye-opening book finally and fully reveals the truth behind that aura.
