  The Art of Travel is a handbook of practical advice for the adventure seeking Victorian. We hear how to organize all steps of a voyage, from the very beginnings (qualifications of a traveller, how to organize an expedition, the perfect outfit), to the actual trip (how to choose a bivouac, huts and tents, what game to shoot - and how, as well as dealing with (hostile) savages), until the final, hopefully successful, return of the traveller (arranging memoranda).

  The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe. 
  It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe. 
  This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. 
  We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe. 
  There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm. 
  We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation. 
  I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.
