Sinopsis

"Polar Exploration" chronicles humanity's daring ventures into the Arctic and Antarctic, revealing the motivations, experiences, and environmental challenges faced by early explorers. It highlights how these expeditions, driven by scientific curiosity and national ambition, profoundly shaped our understanding of Earth's polar regions. The book illustrates how explorers navigated treacherous ice and extreme cold with rudimentary tools, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

 
Consider James Cook, William Parry and Roald Amundsen whose journeys not only expanded geographical knowledge but also laid the groundwork for current geopolitical strategies. The book unfolds in three parts: the early objectives and key figures, the specific challenges of polar environments, and the lasting scientific and geopolitical consequences.

 
Readers will discover how these historical endeavors inform contemporary debates on climate change and polar conservation. Delving into expedition journals and meteorological data, the book uncovers the sheer adversity faced, while also examining the impact of exploration on resource management. It connects historical discoveries with modern environmental and political issues, providing a comprehensive look at the legacy of polar exploration.

    Where You'll Find Me - Risk...

    On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
     
     
     
    At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
     
     
     
    What went wrong? 
     
     
     
    Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

    Pocahontas - The Real History of...

    Pocahontas was a Native American woman from the Powhatan-speaking tribe, most famous for her connection to the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of Tsenacommacah, a confederation of about 30 Algonquian-speaking tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia. Powhatan held dominion over a vast territory, which made Pocahontas a figure of significant influence within her own people’s complex political and social systems. 
    In 1613, during a conflict between the Powhatan Confederacy and the English settlers, Pocahontas was captured by the English. She was held hostage for ransom in an effort to leverage peace negotiations with her father. During her captivity, Pocahontas experienced a profound transformation, converting to Christianity and being baptized with the name Rebecca. Her conversion was seen as an opportunity by the English to showcase their success in "civilizing" the native population.
