Summary

Books about British mountains are mostly of two kinds, the popular, written for the tourist, and the technical, written by the rock-climber. The author of this little study of the hills of Carnarvonshire and Cumberland is aware that it cannot claim acceptance under either of those heads, lacking as it does both the usefulness of the general "guide," and the thrill of the cragsman's adventure: he publishes it, nevertheless, as at least a true expression of the love which our mountains can inspire.
Available since: 11/30/2023.
Print length: 227 pages.

    Mountains are among the most awe-inspiring features of the Earth's landscape, rising as towering peaks that shape weather patterns, influence ecosystems, and define the natural borders of continents. Their formation is a complex process driven by immense geological forces acting over millions of years. The primary mechanisms behind mountain building include tectonic activity, volcanic processes, and the gradual effects of erosion and uplift. 
    One of the most significant processes responsible for mountain formation is tectonic activity, particularly through folding and faulting. The Earth's crust is divided into massive plates that float atop the semi-molten mantle. When these plates collide, the immense pressure causes the crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of fold mountains such as the Himalayas and the Alps. These ranges continue to rise as the plates press against each other, making them some of the youngest and most geologically active mountains in the world. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, form when tectonic forces cause large sections of the Earth's crust to break and shift along faults. The Sierra Nevada in North America is an example of a fault-block mountain range created by the movement of these fractured rock masses. 
    Another major contributor to mountain formation is volcanic activity. When magma from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through cracks in the crust, it cools and solidifies, gradually building up into towering volcanic mountains. Over successive eruptions, these formations can grow into massive peaks such as Mount Fuji in Japan or Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Volcanic mountains can form along plate boundaries, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, or in hotspot regions

    The fascinating story of the Red River Settlement, now Winnipeg, in the years 1813 to 1816, told with archival journals, reports, and letters
    		 
    Unsettled tells the story of two hundred Highlanders who flee the Scottish Clearances in 1813 to establish a settlement on the Red River in what eventually became Winnipeg. They are sponsored by the Earl of Selkirk, a man who has never been west of Montreal. Families who have never left their Highland crofts take an epic journey over ocean, up wild rivers, and through boundless wilderness, surviving disease and brutal winter only to face the determined opposition of fur barons who want no sodbusters threatening their trade and are prepared to stop at nothing to destroy their dream.
    		 
    The “empty” land they’ve been promised is also anything but, already occupied by First Nations bands and the beginnings of that proud nation soon to be called Métis, whom they must befriend or fight.
    		 
    Unsettled takes you inside the experience, relying on journals, reports, and letters to bring these days of soaring hope, crushing despair, and heroic determination to life — to bring their present into ours.

    Tired Of Paying For Clicks That NEVER Seem To Convert? DiscoverThe Six Easy Steps To CPA Marketing That Can Put Thousands Of Dollars Into Your Pocket Each Month!
    
    PPC advertising has been around for a while now and has established itself as the primary model for advertising on the web. Of course, PPC advertising is 'Pay Per Click' advertising, which basically means that you only pay as an advertiser when someone actually clicks on your ad. This is different from paying for a fixed spot in a magazine or on a website because you only pay when your ad generates views.
    
    For the advertiser, this is a very good deal because it essentially means that you only pay when you are successful. An advert that sits on a website not attracting any clicks will actually cost you nothing and you will thus be able to ensure that you get a very high ROI (return on investment).
    
    This is even more true if you use CPA advertising, which is in many ways the natural evolution of PPC. CPA essentially stands for 'Cost Per Action' or 'Cost Per Acquisition' and in this sense, you only pay when your advert is actually successful in doing what it is setting out to do. You only pay for an ad that converts – giving you guaranteed returns on that investment.
    
    Well, in reality you will sometimes still pay per click but even then CPA gives you a figure for how much each action is costing you – allowing you to calculate your precise profit margin. This is the metric that every advertiser should be most interested in. Essentially, this is the point in which the ad becomes profitable and if you only pay for that then you have a situation where everyone is guaranteed to win.
    
    CPA is a relatively new form of PPC but it is one that is rapidly catching on for obvious reasons. If you want to evolve your current marketing campaign in a way that can only improve your ROI and if you want to get one step ahead of the competition, then this is something you should be learning.
    
    And if that's your plan, then you've come to the right place! This book will serve as your master-class in CPA marketing and will show you how to get set up, how to stack the cards in your favor and how to scale up your operation for gigantic profits.
