Sinopsis

World Explorers explores the gripping narratives of history's most daring adventurers and their profound impact on shaping our understanding of the world. It delves into the motivations—scientific curiosity, economic ambition, and political maneuvering—that propelled individuals to venture into uncharted territories. Discover how accurate cartography transformed trade routes and influenced claims of sovereignty, while also revealing newly discovered species, resources, and cultures that forever altered scientific thought and cultural exchange.

 
The book provides a rich historical context for each expedition, examining the social and political climates, available technologies, and scientific knowledge of the time. The book progresses chronologically and thematically, beginning with the voyages of Zheng He and moving through the European Age of Discovery, including Columbus's transatlantic journeys, up to 19th and 20th-century explorers like David Livingstone and Roald Amundsen.

 
By drawing upon primary sources and secondary scholarship, World Explorers offers a balanced and critical perspective on the age of exploration, avoiding simplistic narratives while highlighting the enduring legacy and relevance of exploration in our interconnected world.

    This 3-in-1 volume investigates how identity, social interaction, and constructed realities influence the development of youth within a constantly evolving world. 
    The first section, Youth and Society, examines the social roles, challenges, and transitions that young people face as they grow into adulthood. It explores how education, culture, media, and institutions affect youth identity, opportunity, and social mobility. 
    The second section, The Social Animal, delves into human social behavior with a special focus on youth. Drawing from psychology and sociology, it analyzes group behavior, conformity, interpersonal connection, and the deep need for belonging during formative years. 
    The third section, The Social Construction of Reality, explores how our perceptions of the world—including concepts like adolescence, success, and rebellion—are not just discovered, but socially constructed. This section helps readers understand how youth experiences are shaped by societal narratives and expectations. 
    Together, these three volumes offer an interdisciplinary lens on the transformation of youth and the broader changes shaping society.

    What’s considered the worst crime and who’s the most hated person in America? Most would say child sexual abuse and the pedophile. The principle’s everywhere. How do we normally deal with it? To put it poetically: to go over Thor’s face in the United States and overlook God, the truth of the matter, repeat the vampire. Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter, the creation of the pedophile and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in the caring for of infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness, non-duality, instead of the formula of crime and punishment, in dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop. I’m the fellow, aren’t I? I’ve spent many years studying the issue, first in university, where, after getting a BA in English and minor in History (University of Houston, 1988), I spent three and a half years learning Classical Greek, translating Greek poetry into English verse, not only to learn the writing of poetry, but to access knowledge on ancient Greek sexuality in particular and on the formation of the human ego and sexual orientation in general, doing a self-study on the latter two by reading extensively in a variety of pertinent subjects. Then I did an unorthodox fieldwork for several years after Ieaving college in 1993, becoming a vagabond first in the United States and then the world, spending 10 years living in over 27 countries on 4 continents, during which time I paid particular attention to what when down in the families I lived with, as, being an adventure traveler, I usually lived and worked with the local population. You don't believe an autodidact can be an expert? Hey, I’m not just the One, whom everybody is; I’m the one to show you the world.

    "I request you to take advantage of this book and enter into its understanding. Please make an appointment to meet your God now, through the self-liberating process of Yoga." George Harrison 
     
    This amazing audiobook relays stories of Sri Krsna's divine pastimes from the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the summit of the ancient Vedas of India. Since time immemorial, yogis have sought even a momentary vision of Krsna who descended to earth from his transcendental abode 5000 years ago. The great sage Veda Vyasa carefully recorded those pastimes in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. These tales transport the reader from the mundane on a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond time and space where everything and everyone lives in the blissful light of the eternal transcendental youth, Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of all knowledge. 
     
    The Vedas are an intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of transcendental knowledge. We live in a world where yoga reigns supreme as the preferred, go-to method of spiritual realization, and this unique,  audio presentation paves the way for a clearer, more meaningful understanding of the powerful, enlightening yoga system. A must-have audio experience for all practitioners of yoga, advanced teachers, spiritual seekers, devotees, as well as all school and library systems.

    A gorgeous celebration of the beauty of Venice as conveyed in the paintings of Canaletto and his followers.
    Among the renowned Old Master paintings at the Wallace Collection in London is an important group of 27 eighteenth-century views of Venice, known as vedute, by Canaletto and his followers, including Francesco Guardi. They hang together in a dedicated gallery known as the Canaletto Room, but until recently the majority had not been cleaned since the nineteenth century and their original beauty was obscured by multiple layers of discoloured varnish.
    The paintings have now been restored and rephotographed, following a multi-year conservation and research project that has also led to a reappraisal of them. This book presents these pictures in their renewed splendour. It features essays and commentaries by Charles Beddington, the global expert on vedute, and by Wallace Collection curator Lelia Packer. Together they provide fresh insights into the artists' creative processes, the dating of pictures and their authorship.
