Sinossi

Pitcairn Settlement explores the captivating history of Pitcairn Island, a remote society founded by the Bounty mutineers and their Polynesian companions. This unlikely community, born from rebellion, grappled with extreme isolation, shaping unique social norms and governance structures. The book delves into the mutineers' desperate search for a safe haven and the complex interactions between the British and Polynesians, revealing a narrative of survival, adaptation, and the formation of a distinct Pitcairn identity.

 
The book highlights intriguing aspects of Pitcairn's past, such as its religious conversion, which significantly influenced social structures. It also addresses modern challenges, including population decline and the impact of globalization. Using historical records, missionary accounts, and anthropological studies, the book methodically unpacks Pitcairn's layered history, beginning with the mutiny and settlement, progressing through the development of a unique culture, and culminating in an examination of contemporary issues.

 
The approach offers valuable insights into community formation and the challenges of governance in isolated settings. By examining Pitcairn's cultural evolution, the book provides a unique lens through which to understand human adaptation and resilience. The historical non-fiction account balances rigorous research with accessible storytelling, making it an engaging read for those interested in maritime history, British colonialism, island studies, and the enduring legacy of isolated communities.

    During a near-death experience, an end-stage terminal cancer patient had a profound, emotionally transformative experience in which she let go of all fear—she rallied and became cancer free in a few short weeks. A devout woman, body twisted, wasted, and brought to the brink of death by years of multiple sclerosis, heard a Voice, stood up, and walked—she was healed in minutes. Although these and thousands of similarly amazing cases have been medically verified, most doctors and most people believe that such cases cannot be true because the science underlying modern medicine doesn't provide any explanation for how such rapid physical change could be possible. Medicine's underlying science, however, has changed little despite nearly a hundred years of breakthroughs in physics—breakthroughs that do provide scientific explanations for these cases. 
     
     
     
    Modern physics' breakthroughs support millennia old spiritual traditions that suggest that not only is extraordinary, miraculous healing possible, but that we have innate soul powers—our emotions, personal beliefs, and our ability to connect to Spirit—that directly and powerfully determine our health and ability to self-heal. Modern physics and experiential spiritual traditions give us an unlimited view of health and healing that puts controllable influences, emotion, belief, and connection to Spirit, in charge.

    Prehistoric World The - Vanished...

    Originally published in 1885. 
    The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
    We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
    Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.
