  During his remarkable lifetime, Harold Gatty became one of the world's great navigators (in 1931, he and Wiley Post flew around the world in a record-breaking eight days) and, to the benefit of posterity, recorded in this audiobook much of his accumulated knowledge about pathfinding both on land and at sea.Applying methods used by primitive peoples and early explorers, the author reveals how to determine location, study wind directions and reflections in the sky, even how to use the senses of smell and hearing to find your way in the wilderness, in a desert, in snow-covered areas, and on the ocean. By observing birds and other animals, weather patterns, vegetation, shifting sands, patterns of snow fields, and the positions of the sun, moon, and stars, would-be explorers can learn to estimate distances and find their way without having to rely on a map or a compass.The wealth of valuable data and advice in this volume — much of it unavailable elsewhere — makes it indispensable for hikers, bikers, scouts, sailors, and outdoorsmen — all those who might find themselves stranded or lost in an unfamiliar area. Through careful study of this book and its lessons, pathfinders can learn to interpret signs in the natural world to find their way in almost any kind of terrain.

  “A neurosurgeon and evolutionary scholar presents a bold new theory on the early origins of the hominiform (human-like) primates . . . Thought-provoking.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  Drawing on such diverse antecedents as history, myth, and religion, as well as modern developments in biology and genetics, the author bravely questions and rejects the reigning scientific orthodoxy and shows how humans and apes may have had a common upright ancestor—an upright ape that walked on two legs much as we do now. 
   
  “Fuller’s book is very interesting and well worth reading. His evaluation of this mid lumbar vertebrae fossil may well become the watershed opinion guiding future understanding of evolution. I highly recommend The Upright Ape.” —Compulsive Reader

  "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi : Book Summary by FlashBooksNOTE—THIS IS AN AUDIOBOOK SUMMARY: When Breath Becomes AirBy Paul KalanithiABOUT:This autobiography is a beautiful tragedy. It is the story of Dr. Paul Kalanithi’s short, outstanding life. Yet somehow, it transcends the format of a ‘This Is My Life’ book to become a profound story about life, death, and living with death. And then, it becomes a legacy of living life with meaning and purpose, even beyond the grave.Kalanithi’s story has a charming beginning – a story about a city boy who suddenly moved with his family to a small Arizona town to grow up with his two brothers, his physician father, and his mother – a woman who took personal responsibility for her sons’ education, and insisted that Kalanithi read the books that would become his most meaningful friends throughout his too short life.His journey through undergraduate school, medical school, and his residency as a neurosurgeon were constantly reframing his understanding of life, death and meaning. Before he turned 36, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. This book culminates in his final choice – to live every day, even while dying.Here’s what you’ll learn about in this summary:How reading became Kalanithi’s passion in his preteens, and set the foundation for a man who would seek language to explain life and meaning.The journey of a seeker – a man who became dissatisfied with the written word, and decided that life should be experienced through the hands-on reality of the medical profession.The hauntingly beautiful transformation from student to neurosurgeon to cancer patient, and the enlightenment about life that could only be found in dying.
