Sinopsis

In "Narrative of an Expedition to the Shores of the Arctic Sea in 1846 and 1847," John Rae offers a compelling first-hand account of his Arctic exploration during a pivotal period in the 19th century. Rae's narrative is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and vivid descriptions, effectively capturing the stark beauty and perilous challenges of the Arctic landscape. Written in a straightforward yet evocative literary style, the text serves not only as a personal memoir but also as a significant contribution to the broader corpus of Arctic exploration literature, reflecting the scientific curiosities and imperial aspirations of its time. The interplay of adventure, survival, and indigenous knowledge imbues Rae's expedition with depth, illuminating the cultural exchanges and ecological insights of the region. John Rae was a Scottish explorer known for his contributions to the mapping and understanding of the Canadian Arctic. His experiences as a fur trader and his interactions with Indigenous peoples provided him with a unique perspective that informed his scientific inquiries and humanitarian ethos. Rae's quest was also driven by the desire to resolve the fate of the ill-fated Franklin expedition, thus intertwining his personal mission with a broader historical narrative. This engaging narrative is highly recommended for readers interested in Arctic exploration, the endurance of the human spirit, and the intersections of culture and nature. Rae'Äôs work stands as both a thrilling adventure tale and a profound reflection on the complexities of exploration, making it an essential read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of history and geography alike.

Robert Rogers Ranger - The Rise and Fall of an American Icon - cover

Robert Rogers Ranger - The Rise...

Robert Rogers, commander of Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War, was the war's best-known colonial military hero and, in the ensuing peace, one of the best-known Americans of any description, rivaling Benjamin Franklin in popularity. Rogers is known today for his role in developing the mystique of the modern Ranger, but what explains his meteoric rise and his long, depressing fall? 
 
 
 
Robert Rogers, Ranger: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon by Martin Klotz is a fresh look at the life of this famous, yet highly flawed man. Rogers undeniably had great personal strengths. At the same time Rogers had enormous weaknesses that undermined his ability to lead effectively. Rogers never found a comfortable place in America. Instead, his aristocratic patrons in London, who knew him mostly from his own self-description, gave him his most valuable opportunities, including commanding an important military and trading center on the colonial frontier and establishing the Queen's Rangers to fight alongside Crown forces during the Revolution. But when the British cause failed in America, Rogers became an anathema on both sides of the Atlantic. A fascinating inquiry into an eighteenth-century life, Robert Rogers, Ranger presents this American legend as he lived, crossing the line between fame and misfortune.

They Were Here Before Us - Stories from Our First Million Years - cover

They Were Here Before Us -...

This is not a book about archaeological sites. We shall come across flint tools, bones, skulls, surprising structures, and layers of earth that we can date to different periods—but they are not the heart of the matter. This book is about us, human beings, and about our place in the world. About what we have done, where we came from, which other humans used to be here, why they are no longer with us, and how and why our lives have changed. It's also about where we went wrong. What did early humans do because they had no choice and what is the price we are paying for this now? 
 
 
 
Taking as the focus ten sites in Israel, the land corridor through which the human species passed on its journey from Africa to Europe, the story ranges far and wide from France, Spain, Turkey, and Georgia to Morocco and South Africa, North America, Columbia, and Peru. The authors follow the footsteps of our ancestors, describing the tools they used, the animals they hunted and the monuments they built. 
 
 
 
This provocative and panoramic book shows listeners what they can learn from their ancestors, and how the unwavering ability of prehistoric people to survive and thrive can continue into the present.

Quantum Mechanics Technology...

Quantum Mechanics is a strange but fundamental part of modern physics and we see the results of this theory with technology used in our daily lives. Quantum effects may also help to explain our consciousness and spiritual (paranormal) abilities. Quantum effects also lead to some very strange phenomena which seem impossible at first glance. 
Some of the main subjects discussed here include: 
·        Quantum Teleportation 
·        Quantum Computing 
·        Quantum Gravity 
·        Quantum Consciousness 
·        Our Consciousness wave function 
·        The Multiverse 
I also use the experiential knowledge from my prophecies and the research I’ve done on the paranormal to show potential links to quantum effects. The human ability to teleport psychically is one possible connection. 
There seems to be a coordination between quantum effects and spiritual abilities as described in the Yoga Sutras on Patanjali. Near the end of the book I make an effort to link quantum phenomena and consciousness together.
