Sinopsis

Sunken Cities explores the fascinating world of submerged settlements, blending history, mythology, and archaeological discoveries to uncover civilizations lost to the sea. The book examines the geological and environmental factors that caused these cities to sink, as well as the cultural impact and enduring myths they’ve inspired. Readers will discover how marine archaeology and insights from environmental science are used to study these underwater sites.

 
The book progresses geographically, starting with the Mediterranean, including the legendary Atlantis and the submerged city of Pavlopetri in Greece, one of the oldest underwater cities. It then moves to Asia, exploring cities like Dwarka in India, lost to rising sea levels and tsunamis.

 
By studying these sites, the book reveals valuable lessons for addressing contemporary issues like climate change and coastal management, demonstrating how past civilizations' struggles offer insights for our future.

    Train travel is having a renaissance. Grand old routes that had been canceled, or were moldering in neglect, have been refurbished as destinations in themselves. The Rocky Mountaineer, the Orient Express, and the Trans-Siberian Railroad run again in all their glory. 
    		 
    Pamela Mulloy has always loved train travel. Whether returning to the Maritimes every year with her daughter on the Ocean, or taking her family across Europe to Poland, trains have been a linchpin of her life. As COVID locked us down, Mulloy began an imaginary journey that recalled the trips she has taken, as well as those of others. Whether it was Mary Wollstonecraft traveling alone to Sweden in the late 1700s, or the incident that had Charles Dickens forever fearful of trains, or the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt trapped in her carriage in a midwestern blizzard in the 1890s, or Sir John A. Macdonald’s wife daring to cross the Rockies tied to the cowcatcher at the front of the train, the stories explore the odd mix of adventure and contemplation that travel permits. 
    		 
    Thoughtful, observant, and fun, Off the Tracks is the perfect blend of research and personal experience that, like a good train ride, will whisk you into another world.

    The middle Texas coast, known locally as the Coast Bend, is an area filled with fascinating stories. From as early as the days of de Vaca and La Salle, the Coastal Bend has been a site of early exploration, bloody conflicts, legendary shipwrecks, and even a buried treasure or two. However, much of the true history has remained unknown, misunderstood, and even hidden. For years, local historian C. Herndon Williams has shared his fascinating discoveries of the area's early stories through his weekly column, "Coastal Bend Chronicle." Now he has selected some of his favorites in Texas Gulf Coast Stories. Join Williams as he explores the days of early settlement and European contact, Karankawa and Tonkawa legends, and the Coastal Bend's tallest of tall tales.
