Sinopsis

In "The Journey to the Polar Sea," John Franklin embarks on a daring expedition, chronicling his experiences in a profoundly evocative narrative style that blends adventure with meticulous detail. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century Arctic, this historical account captures the hardships and complexities of exploration in uncharted territories. Franklin's vivid prose and insightful observations illuminate not only the stark beauty of the frozen landscape but also the intricate dynamics between human endurance and nature's formidable forces, making the text a pivotal contribution to the literature of exploration and adventure. John Franklin, a British naval officer and explorer, was profoundly shaped by his career in Arctic exploration, having undertaken several voyages prior to this ambitious journey. His extensive knowledge of navigational techniques, indigenous cultures, and the natural sciences lends authority to his narrative, while his experiences of previous expeditions deeply inform the themes of survival and ambition woven throughout the text. Franklin's sincerity in recounting both triumph and despair reveals a multifaceted character driven by an unquenchable thirst for discovery. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the resilient spirit of exploration will find "The Journey to the Polar Sea" a captivating and enriching experience. Franklin's sincere reflections on the trials faced in one of nature's most inhospitable environments resonate deeply, reminding us of the human spirit's capacity to endure. This book is not just a tale of adventure but a profound exploration of humanity's relationship with the unknown.

    Globalization and Society - How...

    Globalization is a complex and multifaceted process that has shaped the modern world in profound ways. It refers to the increasing interconnectedness of societies, economies, and cultures across national borders. This phenomenon has accelerated over the past few decades due to advancements in technology, transportation, and communication, making it easier for people, goods, services, and ideas to move across the globe. While globalization is often associated with economic integration, it also has significant social, political, and cultural dimensions. 
    Historically, globalization can be traced back to ancient trade routes such as the Silk Road, which facilitated exchanges between distant civilizations. The Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries further expanded global interactions as European nations established colonies and trade networks around the world. However, modern globalization is distinct in its speed and scale. The 20th and 21st centuries have witnessed unprecedented levels of global integration, driven by technological innovations like the internet, satellite communication, and air travel. These advancements have made it possible for businesses to operate internationally, for cultures to influence one another more rapidly, and for individuals to access information from virtually anywhere.

    Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
    One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
    In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.

    Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a  
    common experience as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture  
    supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator, an overview of existing research and preventative techniques, and insight into young men’s perspectives on violence. The result is a  
    powerful new perspective on violence prevention—the first to focus on Black boys and to be written by a Black male author. 
     
    The most critical lesson that boys need to learn is that they have an essential role to play in preventing sexual violence. So many of them accept this violence as beyond their control when they could be valuable agents of change. More and  
    more parents and mentors of boys are coming to address sexual violence as a cultural problem rather than the activities of isolated social deviants. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture adds an important voice to our discussions  
    about sexual violence education and prevention, showing that a rising generation of boys will play a vital part in realizing a non-violent future.

    All at Sea describes the career of a ship captain and salvage master from the time when he joined his first vessel to his present status as a marine consultant in Hong Kong. He writes of the remarkable changes he has seen and experienced in a career which has spanned more than half a century. By turns amusing and thought-provoking, this is an enjoyable tale of a most interesting life. 
    "[Alan] has done readers a service by putting on record so many of his experiences in such a charming & accessible manner. ... those who are interested in recent maritime practice should ... find within its pages much to intrigue & delight them. / Alan Loynd joined the Swire Group in 1976, and worked for businesses within it for most of thirty years.... it is both an honour and a pleasure to commend this volume to almost any curious & enthusiastic reader.”—Barnaby Swire. Chairman, the Swire Group 
    "A well thought through, beautifully written account of an interesting life.... I honestly could not put this down! Alan writes exceptionally well, with a delightful turn of phrase and a nice dry wit. His shrewd and sympathetic insights into the people of southern China are a particular pleasure. You pick up this book expecting a seafarer’s memoir - Devon schoolboy to CEO - and you get a handbook to modern Hong Kong, a bonus sketch of the Queen and Prince Philip visiting the tiny and remote island nation of Tuvalu, and an insight into modern salvage techniques.... Highly recommended."—Andrew Craig-Bennett, Amazon UK, 29 July 2021. 
    "A riveting read.... This is a quite exceptional account of a life at sea, covering a vast range of roles and adventures. It is beautifully written, and Alan Loynd’s (very) dry sense of humour shines through it all. I am a compulsive reader of mariners’ memoirs, and this is one of the very best." 
    —Killick, Amazon UK, 7 July 2021.
