Beschreibung

Hidden Passages delves into the fascinating world beneath our feet, revealing the history of secret tunnels and subterranean realms across civilizations. These hidden spaces weren't just architectural quirks; they served critical roles in covert operations, escape routes, and even military strategy. Imagine entire networks built for clandestine purposes, reflecting the ingenuity and paranoia of societies facing threats. The book explores the construction, purpose, and discovery of these hidden passages, painting a vivid picture of their importance in historical events. From ancient civilizations to more modern eras, these passages have been instrumental in shaping history. Consider how secret tunnels provided escape routes for royalty or sanctuaries for persecuted groups, showcasing the resourcefulness of those seeking safety and security. 

 
Hidden Passages takes a narrative non-fiction approach, blending factual information with compelling stories. The book starts by introducing the diverse types of hidden passages found worldwide and traces their origins. Subsequent chapters explore their strategic use in times of war, their function as escape routes, and how archaeologists today locate and preserve these fragile historical sites, offering readers a unique lens through which to view history.

    Belize - Friends and Scammers

    He's back! In this second travel memoir, The Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country about which he knows nada. But he quickly amasses an array of new friends – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.
    As ever, the characters with whom Steven ingratiates himself become his surrogate (dysfunctional) family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of kids led by the feral Molokai soon have Steven suspecting that his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, ensnaring him in a web of scams. Will he be left for broke, stranded in this shabby paradise? Is his paranoia justifiable, or the result of continuous cocaine use? His response is to embark with the gang on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail.
    Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully uninformed, Froelich is nevertheless observant and interested. Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they're from or where they're headed.

    Together We Can - 33 Marathons...

    Peter Baines OAM

    Together We Can is the inspiring story of an amazing feat. On 1st of December 2024, at the age of 58, Peter Baines set off in the extreme heat and humidity from the north of Thailand to run 1400km over 26 days, averaging 60kms per day. Peter's goal was to raise $1 million. Peter Baines had been a leading forensic investigator with the NSW Police before he was deployed to Bali in 2002 after the bombings, and then to Thailand after the Boxing Day tsunami. It was during the aftermath of the tsunami that Peter started the Hands Across the Water charity. The biggest impact upon Peter during his work in Thailand was meeting a group of Thai children orphaned by the tsunami. Returning to Australia, Baines made a commitment to support these 32 children who were living in the tent in the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The initial objective of the Hands Across the Water was to build a home for these children, and it was this first home that marked the finishing line of the Run to Remember, exactly 20 years to the day of the tsunami. Together We Can is not a story of one man s 20-year commitment to children and communities in need. Nor is it simply a story of physical achievement the likes of which many simply cannot comprehend. It is the celebration of what can be achieved together. It is the celebration of the best of humanity, through what were often the most difficult times.One of the main learnings from this incredible feat of endurance (running the equivalent of 33 marathons in 26 days) was that although Peter was the only person who completed the run, it took a team to get him across the finishing line. The lessons are invaluable for businesses, organisations and sports teams and it is these lessons that remain with Peter (and hopefully the reader) long after the blisters have healed.
