  First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. 
   
   
   
  In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.

  From strange behaviour to interesting prey-vs.-predator relationships to fantastical creatures, the animal world is full of fascinating facts about our furry, feathered and scaly friends:
  		 
  The wood frog burrows into the leaf litter in winter; its heart, brain and eyeballs freeze, and they defrost again in the spring.
  		 
  In 2006, a hunter shot and killed a hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear, dubbed a grolar or pizzly bear, the first to be found in the wild.
  		 
  The bombardier beetle protects itself by expelling a boiling hot chemical spray from its rear end.
  		 
  A woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it rolls up in the bird’s skull like a tape measure in its case.
  		 
  Rabbits produce two kinds of stool: one that the animal eats, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients, and another that is waste matter.
  		 
  Some clever crows drop nuts onto roadways so that passing vehicles drive over them and break the shells open.
  		 
  The horned lizard defends itself by squirting blood from its eyes.
  		 
  Canada was home to 2.5-metre-long giant sea scorpions 400 million years ago.
  		 
  And so much more…

  “By far the most thorough and well-written investigative book on RMS Titanic’s short life and tragic sinking that this reviewer has read . . . fascinating.” —Choice Reviews   The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage in April 1912 was one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. Books and films about the disaster that befell the iconic liner are commonplace, and it seems almost inconceivable that anything fresh can emerge. But there is one angle that has not been covered, and Titanic examines the events of April 1912 from that completely new perspective. John Lang brings the standards of a twenty-first-century accident investigation to bear on the events of April 1912, using his expertise and his investigator’s instinct to determine exactly what happened a century ago, and what important lessons still need to be learned.  “A fascinating account . . . this book looks at the facts from a new perspective and uncovers some unexpected findings. A worthwhile read.” —Royal Naval Sailing Association  “Provides genuine insight into what almost certainly happened before, during and after the ice sliced through the five compartments on the liner’s starboard bow.” —Viewpoint  “Lang, with his experience of marine accident investigation has found an angle in examining events of April 1912 from the perspective of an MAIB officer. His analysis is supported by detailed background material enabling the reader to understand the events of the collision and sinking more fully as he brings the standards of a 21st century investigation to bear on the events in determining exactly what happened and why.” —Flash

  The Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich: A Comedy of Global Madness 
  Tagline: “When the World Economic Forum met Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels at a cocktail party…” 
  Welcome to the 21st century, where the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich have risen from the ashes of history to save us all from—wait for it—ourselves! But don’t be fooled; this isn’t your grandfather’s Reich. No, this is a new and improved, eco-friendly, socially conscious, gender-fluid version, and it’s brought to you by none other than our friends at the World Economic Forum (WEF). 
  You see, in their infinite wisdom, the WEF has concocted a strategy so diabolical, so preposterously brilliant, that it would make even the most ardent Nazi propagandist blush. The plan? To cause a global psychosis that will create a Civil War amongst all nations, races, and people groups, ensuring that no one ever unites against them. And the best part? They’re doing it all in the name of progress! 
  The Woke Apostles: Goebbels’ New Disciples 
  Imagine, if you will, Joseph Goebbels—the master of Nazi propaganda—reincarnated as a non-binary, vegan, climate activist with a degree in Gender Studies and a TikTok following of 10 million. Now, multiply that by a few thousand, give them all blue checkmarks on Twitter, and voila! You’ve got the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich. 
  These modern-day disciples have taken Goebbels’ playbook and updated it for the digital age. Their mission? To divide and conquer, using social justice as their weapon of mass destruction. They’re not just spreading lies; they’re redefining reality. Up is down, freedom is oppression, and biology is a social construct. And if you disagree? Well, then you’re just a bigot—or worse, a capitalist! 
  Why bother with tanks and guns when you can just weaponize anything other than the mainstream media psychosis machine and watch the world burn?
