Beschreibung

Joshua Slocum's 'Voyage of the Liberdade' stands as a monumental piece of nautical literature, chronicling the true story of the author's harrowing journey from Brazil to the United States in an unconventionally small boat—the Liberdade. Slocum's account is not mere adventure, but a rich tapestry of human endurance, seamanship, and a profound connection with the sea, narrated in a literary style that combines factual accuracy with a storyteller's flair. Set within the broader context of late 19th-century exploration literature, the work transcends its era to speak to the timeless allure and peril of the open ocean, making it a classic of world literature revered for both its historical significance and its literary merit.

As the first person to solo circumnavigate the globe, Joshua Slocum was eminently qualified to pen such a riveting sea tale. This work predates his more famous 'Sailing Alone Around the World' and offers insight into his early experiences and the challenges that shaped him. Slocum's firsthand narrative is imbued with the wisdom of a seasoned sailor, reflecting his deep maritime knowledge and the personal philosophy that would later define him as one of history's great nautical figures. The 'Voyage of the Liberdade' provides a glimpse into the author's indomitable spirit and the perseverance that drove Slocum to overcome adversity.

This new edition from DigiCat Publishing invites modern readers to rediscover 'Voyage of the Liberdade'—a work of adventure, survival, and triumph over the elements. The book is a must-read for enthusiasts of classic exploration literature, maritime historians, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience and human achievement against all odds. Its re-publication in both print and ebook formats ensures that the legacy of Slocum's remarkable voyage continues to inspire and captivate generations of readers, reaffirming the book's important place in the pantheon of literary accomplishments.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.

    Africa may have given rise to the first humans, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.  
    For almost four millennia, the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt have been widely hailed as the single greatest archeological feat man has ever accomplished. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to have survived into the modern age. Unlike so many pieces of the historical record which have been “re-discovered,” relatively recently (in the grand scheme of things,” in their four thousand years of existence, the Great Pyramids have never allowed themselves to be truly forgotten by the human civilization which has never ceased to regard them with wonder and awe. 
    Egypt also impressed its contemporaries. The 5th century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Egypt was “the gift of the Nile” because the river made its soil so fertile and thus helped create one of the first great civilizations. Indeed, the land of Egypt so impressed the Greeks that when Alexander the Great conquered the Nile Valley in the 4th century B.C., he decided that he would build a new city on its soil and name it Alexandria. After Alexander, the city of Alexandria grew and became the most important city in the world for centuries as it watched and played a role in the rise and fall of numerous dynasties. The city also became home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Lighthouse of Alexandria – and a center of culture and learning, which was exemplified by the Library of Alexandria.
