Sinopse

Missing Treasures explores the captivating world of lost riches and historical mysteries, examining the enduring human fascination with uncovering what has vanished. The book delves into famous cases like the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, shrouded in legends of hidden gold in the Superstition Mountains, and the Amber Room, an opulent chamber lost during World War II, prompting decades of searching.

 
By scrutinizing historical documents, maps, and archaeological findings, Missing Treasures offers insights into not only the historical context of these treasures but also the motivations driving treasure hunters. Beginning with an introduction to lost treasures and their cultural impact, the book progresses through detailed explorations of specific cases, including the mystery of Confederate Gold.

 
It highlights how the quest for these missing artifacts often reveals more about history, culture, and human ambition than the treasures themselves. For example, the search for the Amber Room touches upon political and historical contexts of World War II, while the pursuit of Confederate Gold sheds light on the tumultuous aftermath of the American Civil War.

 
Unlike conventional treasure-hunting narratives, Missing Treasures emphasizes a comprehensive perspective, integrating historical analysis, cultural understanding, and the psychological factors fueling the quest for these elusive prizes. This approach makes the book a valuable read for history enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and anyone intrigued by unsolved mysteries, offering a deeper appreciation for the complexities of history and the enduring power of human curiosity.

Like A River To The Sea -...

Jack Grandcolas, Alan Shipnuck

The story of heartbreak to triumph in the wake of a tragedy. Their first date in college was a U2 concert and after that Lauren and Jack Grandcolas were inseparable. He was mesmerized by her sweetness, fierce intelligence and eyes that were as blue and alive as the ocean. They married and settled in San Francisco, each pursuing their dreams in the business world. After a decade of trying, Lauren finally got pregnant at the age of thirty-eight. On September 6, 2001, she flew to New Jersey—her beloved Little Grandma had died and following the funeral Lauren shared the joyous news of her pregnancy to lift her family’s spirits. Flying home to Jack on September 11th, she arrived at Newark airport early and walked on to a flight for which she hadn’t been ticketed: United 93. During that terrifying flight, Lauren left a calm and reassuring voice mail for Jack which remains a testament to her courage and selfless love, even in the face of her own mortality.Like a River to the Sea is a story of love overcoming loss. In this moving memoir, Jack Grandcolas brings to life his college sweetheart while taking the reader through his long journey to make peace with the loss of Lauren and their unborn child. Jack is honest about the depth of his despair and his battles with depression, PTSI, and heavy drinking. As he digs himself out of the deepest hole imaginable, Jack learns universal truths that will help anyone confronted with tragedy.Like a River to the Sea is also a deeply personal look at an event of historical importance. Jack takes us inside the White House to meet with President Bush and to the precipice of a still-smoldering hole in the earth outside of Shanksville, Penn. The book goes aboard United 93 in its final minutes, when this brave collection of Americans fought to retake control of the plane, ultimately preventing the hijackers from completing their mission and becoming the first heroes in the war against terror.As with Jack’s life, Like a River to the Sea is defined by the boundless depths of human love. Eighteen years after losing his wife and their unborn baby, Jack finally remarried, and his new bride so honors the love between him and Lauren that her wedding ring includes stones that Lauren once wore on her finger. This is the magic of Like A River To The Sea, which begins with heartbreak but becomes a story about the triumph of the human spirit.
