Synopsis

Matthew Flinders' "An Expedition through Bass's Strait" presents a meticulous narrative of his groundbreaking voyages across one of maritime Australia's most treacherous passages. Written in the early 19th century, the text is both a personal diary and an insightful account of navigational challenges, indigenous encounters, and the flora and fauna of the region. Flinders employs a lucid and descriptive literary style that vividly captures the awe and peril of exploration during a time when the vast Pacific was both a promise and a peril for European navigators. The work is pivotal within the genre of travel literature, offering a blend of adventure and science that reflects the burgeoning interest in mapping the globe during the Age of Discovery. Matthew Flinders, an English navigator and cartographer, was profoundly influenced by his early experiences at sea and his studies of navigation. His dedication to exploring Australia's coastlines stemmed from a desire to enhance maritime knowledge and facilitate commercial shipping routes. Flinders' background, including his mentorship under esteemed seafarers, equipped him with a unique perspective on the complexities of human and environmental interaction, leading him to meticulously document his expeditions. For those intrigued by maritime history, exploration narratives, or the evolution of cartography, Flinders' work is a vital resource. "An Expedition through Bass's Strait" not only captures the spirit of adventure but also contributes significantly to our understanding of the early 19th-century understanding of Australia's geography and natural history, making it a must-read for historians, navigators, and anyone captivated by the sea.

First Nation - History and Facts...

Kelly Mass

The following 3 books are contained in this audiobook:
1: The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate.
The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances.
2: The Pawnee are a Central Plains Indian people that used to live in Nebraska and Kansas, yet now call Oklahoma home. They are now called the Pawnee Country of Oklahoma, and its head offices are at Pawnee, Oklahoma. Their Pawnee language belongs to the Caddoan family, and they're called Chatiks si chatiks, or "Men of Men."
The Pawnee used to live in earth lodge towns near the Loup, Republican Politician, and South Platte rivers. Throughout the year, the Pawnee people economy turned between producing crops and buffalo searching.
3: The Sioux, also called the Oceti Sakowin are a North American people of Native American tribe and First Countries tribes. The contemporary Sioux are split into 2 significant groups based upon language: Dakota and Lakota; they're called together as the Ohéthi akówi ("7 Council Fires"). The term "Sioux" is an exonym stemmed from a French transliteration of the Ojibwe term "Nadouessioux," and can apply to any ethnic group or language dialect within the Great Sioux Country.

The Art of the Impossible - How...

Andrew Reid, Simon Carr

"A revelation" – Nigel Farage
***
Nothing like it had ever been done before. In January 2019, the Brexit Party was just a name. Over a matter of weeks, the party would be launched, stand candidates across seventy seats and become the largest single party in the European Parliament.
Along the way, it fought Establishment quangos, the courts, Parliament, the Speaker and the government – hammering the Conservatives so hard it forced the resignation of their Prime Minister – to win nearly twice as many seats as its nearest rival.
It was a success beyond anyone's dreams (or, indeed, anyone's worst nightmare). And the inside story of how it happened may serve as a manual of how to – and occasionally how not to – do it.
This unique book details the wild ride of the brand-new Brexit Party as it heads from triumph in the European elections to disaster in the general election six months later. Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat's cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks.

Justice for Marcus Garvey - Look...

Ta-Nehisi COATES

Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was a Black political activist, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, which had a following of more than six million African descended people worldwide. Despite his massive popularity, this Jamaican born international leader was wrongfully sentenced to prison by the U.S. government on trumped-up mail-fraud charges. 
 
 
 
While exoneration efforts began immediately and have continued since his sentencing, a new groundswell movement for Garvey's posthumous pardon is underway—led by his nonagenarian, still-spirited son, Julius Garvey. 
 
 
 
Edited by Julius Garvey, Justice for Marcus Garvey is a collection of informative essays and personal narratives about the senior Garvey's life and work, demonstrating his essential influence on current social justice movements. The book features contributions from thought leaders and activists, including a foreword by bestselling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Contributors include Paul Coates, founder/director of Black Classic Press; Goulda Downer, president of the Caribbean-American Political Action Committee; Justin Hansford, professor at Howard University School of Law; and Maulana Karenga, widely known as the creator of the holiday Kwanzaa.
