Synopsis

Aurora Australis offers readers an immersive journey into the heart of early 20th-century Antarctic exploration, capturing the raw beauty and daunting challenges of the icy continent. This pioneering anthology, assembled amidst the unyielding conditions at the Antarctic basecamp during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909, brims with a tapestry of adventurous narratives and reflective prose. The writings span a diverse array of literary styles, from compelling journal entries painting the stark, untouched landscape to contemplative essays on the human spirit's resilience in the face of nature's fiercest trials. The contributing authors—iconic figures such as Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, Frank Wild, and Douglas Mawson—were not just explorers but chroniclers of their own defining experiences. Each author brings a unique perspective rooted in their expansive backgrounds, contributing to a literary discourse that transcends individual experiences by encapsulating the ethos of an era dedicated to the age of exploration. These narratives reverberate with the philosophical and existential musings of the time, aligning with early 20th-century movements in science and literature that sought to push the boundaries of human understanding and endurance. Aurora Australis invites readers to embark on an intellectual voyage across the vast expanses of the Antarctic landscape through the eyes of those who first charted its mysteries. The collection serves as both a historical document and a profound narrative of human aspiration, offering a window into the harmonizing yet variegated views of its adventurers. As the first book ever published in Antarctica, it holds an unparalleled educational value and extends an invitation to explore the dialogue between diverse expressions of bravery and discovery, enriching any reader's quest for knowledge and inspiration.

The Illuminati

Phil G

There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
 
In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
 
This is the story of the world's most powerful secret and sacred order.

Philosophy for Beginners How to...

Jakob Schröter

Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.
