Sinopsis

"The Discovery of America by the Northmen" is a captivating exploration of the Norse exploration and settlement of North America centuries before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. In this intriguing account, readers are taken on a journey back in time to the Viking Age, where intrepid Norse sailors embarked on daring voyages across the Atlantic Ocean.

As the story unfolds, readers are introduced to legendary figures such as Leif Erikson and Erik the Red, who led expeditions to the shores of North America long before Columbus set foot in the New World. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the author paints a vivid picture of the Norsemen's encounters with the indigenous peoples of North America and their attempts to establish settlements in this distant land.

But "The Discovery of America by the Northmen" is more than just a retelling of historical events—it's a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of cultural exchange and interaction. Through the lens of the Norse exploration of North America, readers gain insight into the encounters between different cultures and the lasting impact of these early voyages on the history of the Americas.

With its blend of adventure, discovery, and historical analysis, "The Discovery of America by the Northmen" offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of American history. Whether you're a history buff or simply curious about the early exploration of the Americas, this book is sure to captivate and enlighten.

    Poland, 1939. Professional photographer Wilhelm Brasse is deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and finds himself in a deadly race to survive, assigned to work as the camp's intake photographer and take "identity pictures" of prisoners as they arrive by the trainload. Brasse soon discovers his photography skills are in demand from Nazi guards as well, who ask him to take personal portraits for them to send to their families and girlfriends. Behind the camera, Brasse is safe from the terrible fate that so many of his fellow prisoners meet. But over the course of five years, the horrifying scenes his lens capture, including inhumane medical "experiments" led by Josef Mengele, change Brasse forever. 
     
     
     
    Based on the true story of Wilhelm Brasse, The Auschwitz Photographer is a stark black-and-white reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. This gripping work of World War II narrative nonfiction takes readers behind the barbed wire fences of the world's most feared concentration camp, bringing Brasse's story to life as he clicks the shutter button thousands of times before ultimately joining the Resistance, defying the Nazis, and defiantly setting down his camera for good.

    North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state's controversial decision to dam the region's rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. 
     
     
     
    Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks, and even entire towns disappeared. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community's cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia's lakes.

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists' Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
     
     
     
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called "Intelligent Design." Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? aliens?—could be behind this planning. 
     
     
     
    In this must-listen book, Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.
