  Smoky God The - or A Voyage to...

  Step into one of the most fascinating works of subterranean lore ever written. First published in 1908, The Smoky God recounts the extraordinary tale of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who claimed to have journeyed with his father through an opening at the North Pole into a vast hidden land within the Earth. 
  Inside, they discovered a thriving civilization of giants, a lush inner sun known as “The Smoky God,” and a society far advanced in peace, longevity, and wisdom. Blending travel narrative, myth, and esoteric speculation, this gripping account has become a cornerstone of Hollow Earth theory and alternative history. 
  Is it fact, allegory, or pure imagination? That question continues to fuel its enduring mystery. What is certain is that Emerson’s book has inspired generations of explorers, mystics, and seekers to question the boundaries of geography, science, and human possibility. 
  Now brought to life in audiobook form, The Smoky God is more than a story—it is an invitation to explore the unknown and consider what wonders might lie hidden beneath our very feet.

  'I never knew—I never imagined what mountains were before.' 
    
  History of a Six Weeks' Tour (1817) is a volume of travel-writing by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley, two of the best-known authors of the English Romantic period. Comprising prose narrative, correspondence, and poetry, it is a highly engaging account of their 'adventures and feelings' during two journeys from England to Switzerland. 
    
  The first part of History describes the titular 'tour' made by the not-yet-married Mary and Percy in July–September 1814, when mainland Europe was once again accessible to British travellers at the end of the Napoleonic wars. The long descriptive letters which make up the second part of History recall the so-called 'Frankenstein summer' of 1816, some of which the Shelleys spent with Byron on the shores of Lake Geneva. This part of History also provides significant biographical and historical context for Mary's novels Frankenstein (1818) and The Last Man (1826), key sections of which are set in the Alps, and for two of Percy's most canonical poems, 'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty' and 'Mont Blanc', the second of which was published for the first time in History. This edition includes an introduction, detailed notes, and appendices, placing the book in its historical and cultural context and showcasing the Shelleys' collaborative writing process.

  The Big Tent

  This book reveals how a nomadic empire engineered the most ambitious peace of the medieval world—and what it cost to keep it. From the relay-station highways of the yam to the cosmopolitan capitals of Dadu, Tabriz, and Sarai, this volume shows how the Mongols turned conquest into governance, revived the Silk Roads, and moved people, ideas, and technologies at unprecedented speed. Readers meet rulers like Ögedei and Khubilai, merchants underwriting caravans with paper money, monks and qadis negotiating pluralism, and engineers dredging canals to feed cities. Across chapters on law, daily life, diplomacy, and long-distance trade, the book reconstructs a functioning imperial system—bold, pragmatic, and often surprisingly humane—before charting the stresses that strained it by the late 13th century: fiscal overreach, environmental shocks, regional rivalries, and administrative fatigue. Grounded in vivid scenes and careful analysis, this is a sweeping, accessible history of how the Mongol order worked on the ground—and why it began to creak even as it transformed Eurasia.
