  Jackie Ronne reclaims her rightful place in polar history as the first American woman in Antarctica. 
   
   
   
  Jackie was an ordinary American woman whose life changed after a blind date with rugged Antarctic explorer Finn Ronne. After marrying, they began planning the 1946–1948 Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition. Her participation was not welcomed by the expedition team of red-blooded males eager to prove themselves in the frozen, hostile environment of Antarctica. 
   
   
   
  On March 12, 1947, Jackie Ronne became the first American woman in Antarctica and, months later, one of the first women to overwinter there. 
   
   
   
  The Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition secured its place in Antarctic history, but its scientific contributions have been overshadowed by conflicts and the dangerous accidents that occurred. Jackie dedicated her life to Antarctica: she promoted the achievements of the expedition and was a pioneer in polar tourism and an early supporter of the Antarctic Treaty. In doing so, she helped shape the narrative of twentieth-century Antarctic exploration.

  19th Century-Authors - Edgar...

  This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. Personally, I completely disagree. I think you can always find traces of psychology in a person’s work that are related to the things they experienced in their personal lives. And so, without further ado, I encourage you to pick up this short informational book. It will lay out some of the most important characters from his most famous novels and give you the background you need to understand the motives and creativity behind them. 
  2: Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature. Edgar Allan Poe had a life, a background worth studying. His experiences have led him to his career success, his published works, and many other honors. 
  3: Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism on the state, philosophies on life itself, and more. Being open about being a homosexual in a time when it was unaccepted and even illegal, his life ended in imprisonment and exile. Yet, despite his orientation and his controversial preferences, his prose and poetry did not suffer. His travels through Europe taught him many fascinating lessons, which he expressed in his acting, his writing, etc.

  The Great Famine of the 14th...

  The Great Famine of the 14th century did not erupt suddenly; it was the result of a long-simmering crisis deeply rooted in environmental, agricultural, and demographic factors. Europe, by the early 1300s, was already teetering on the edge of unsustainability. For decades, the continent had experienced a population boom, pushing communities to cultivate every inch of arable land. Marginal lands—forests, wetlands, and rocky hills—were cleared to make room for crops, but the soil was thin and poorly suited for long-term farming. This overuse exhausted the land, reducing yields and straining food supplies even in stable years. 
  At the same time, Europe entered a period of climatic deterioration now known as the Little Ice Age. Beginning in the early 14th century, temperatures across the continent began to drop slightly but consistently. This seemingly minor shift had devastating effects on agriculture. Cooler, wetter summers shortened the growing season and increased rainfall, which flooded fields and rotted seeds before they could sprout. Harsh winters extended well into the spring, delaying planting and shrinking the harvest window. These erratic weather patterns culminated in a series of catastrophic crop failures between 1315 and 1317. 
  Adding to these environmental pressures was a demographic crisis. By the turn of the century, Europe’s population had grown to levels unseen in centuries. Villages were packed, and food demand had reached unprecedented highs. Yet agricultural output could not keep pace. The productivity of medieval farming methods had plateaued, and innovations were slow to arrive. The result was a fragile system stretched beyond its limits. Even a single poor harvest could lead to hunger; multiple bad years spelled disaster.

  With four year college degrees under our belts and a dab of training in Child Psychology, my wife and I thought we were ready for anything when it came to this parenting gig. We had no idea we would be outnumbered and outgunned. From diet to riot, meds to charts, we've tried it all, to train up our kids in the way they should grow. 
  From the Home School of Hard Knocks, our four ADD and ADHD kids have taught us more about coping and planning ahead than any four year college degree could have, especially when it comes to understanding what goes on in the mind of a five-year-old in a Buzz Lightyear costume flying on a treadmill, To Infinity, and Beyond.

  The Tao of Human Interactions -...

  I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
  This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions.
