  Brazil's Economic Evolution -...

  Brazil's economic history is a dynamic and complex tale shaped by diverse influences, from colonial exploitation to modern-day challenges and opportunities. As the largest country in South America, Brazil’s economic evolution has mirrored its political, social, and cultural transformations. This journey began with its colonial era under Portuguese rule, which laid the foundation for Brazil’s agricultural-based economy. Over the centuries, Brazil shifted from a colony dependent on sugar and gold to a rapidly industrializing nation, emerging as an economic powerhouse in Latin America. 
  The early economic landscape of Brazil was heavily reliant on natural resources, particularly agriculture. The Portuguese established vast sugar plantations along Brazil’s northeastern coast, utilizing enslaved labor from Africa. This system of exploitation became the backbone of the Brazilian economy for centuries. Later, the discovery of gold in the 18th century led to a gold rush that contributed significantly to Brazil's wealth, though it also exacerbated regional disparities and social inequalities. 
  As the 19th century unfolded, Brazil transitioned into an empire, and its economic structure shifted once again. Coffee became the dominant export, driving the expansion of the country’s agricultural economy. The development of railways and the establishment of coffee plantations in the southeastern regions played a critical role in consolidating Brazil’s position as a major global supplier. However, this period of growth was also marked by profound social and economic inequalities, particularly in the form of slavery, which continued until its abolition in 1888.

  Two days east of Lukla was a pleasant yak pasture surrounded by high peaks. When Col. Jim Roberts set out to look for it in 1953, he ended up making the first ascent of Mera Peak and sowing the seeds of Himalayan tourism. 
  Mera Peak has become a popular goal for trekkers and novice mountaineers, but few people climb to its true summit, and fewer still travel beyond it to find the secret yak pasture that sparked Roberts’ journey. 
  The yak pasture was the Hongu Valley, a hidden sanctuary of grassland, lakes and glaciers linking Mera Peak with the Everest region and Island Peak to the north. Fifty years after Roberts, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek through Nepal’s Khumbu region to follow in his footsteps, climb the two trekking peaks at either end of the valley, and resolve a long-standing mystery about Mera Peak’s height. 
  Join Mark on a captivating journey through this enchanting region of high mountains and remote valleys.

  This audio edition is read by the author and was recorded in a remote studio in Shetland. 'Storm Pegs perfectly captures the knotting of language and landscape. I was transported.' - Katherine May, Sunday Times bestselling author of WinteringFrom the winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Highland Book PrizeWhat if the answer to ‘Where am I?’ is ‘heaven’?In her late twenties, celebrated poet Jen Hadfield moved to the Shetland archipelago to make her life anew. A scattering of islands at the northernmost point of the United Kingdom, frequently cut off from the mainland by storms, Shetland is a place of Vikings and myths, of ancient languages and old customs, of breathtaking landscapes and violent weather. It has long fascinated travellers seeking the edge of the world.On these islands known for their isolation and drama, Hadfield found something more: a place teeming with life, where rare seabirds blow in on Atlantic gales, seals and dolphins visit its beaches, and wild folk festivals carry the residents through long, dark winters. She found a close-knit community, too, of neighbours always willing to lend a boat or build a creel, of women wild-swimming together in the star-spangled winter seas. Over seventeen years, as bright summer nights gave way to storm-lashed winters, she learned new ways to live.In prose as rich and magical as Shetland itself, Hadfield transports us to the islands as a local; introducing us to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and shows us new ways of living at the edge.
