  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 -...

  Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
  To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
  In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
  Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.

  In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia.
  
  Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of "Vremya" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here.
  
  Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist, journalist, and short-story writer who had an immense influence on 20th-century fiction. He is commonly regarded as one of the finest novelists who ever lived, penning classics that include: Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov. His ideas profoundly shaped literary modernism, existentialism, and various schools of psychology, theology, and literary criticism.

  ARGO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BEN AFFLECK 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Argo is a historical drama set during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. The film follows Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, who devises a daring plan to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran. Posing as a Hollywood film producer scouting locations for a fake sci-fi movie, Mendez teams up with Hollywood professionals to create a cover story. The movie blends suspense, political intrigue, and dark humor, highlighting themes of deception, bravery, and international cooperation. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo masterfully portrays the tension of a high-stakes operation amidst the backdrop of a volatile political climate. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Former President Jimmy Carter commented in an interview with Piers Morgan that he believed the film was a 'great drama' and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. However, he pointed out that although 'ninety percent of the contributions to the plan were Canadian,' the movie gives nearly full credit to the American CIA. He suggested that the true hero was Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.” 
    
  “For the opening scene, the director of photography handed out 8mm cameras to certain people in the crowd to make the scene feel authentic, as though it was real footage of the riot.” 
    
  “The Iranian official seen on archive footage at the end of the film, issuing threats against Canada for their role in the rescue, was later executed by the regime he served.”

  The history of India is filled with tales of powerful warrior empires that shaped the destiny of the subcontinent. Among them, the Hoysala Empire, the Rashtrakuta Empire, and the Kakatiya Dynasty stood as formidable forces in the Deccan region, each leaving behind a unique legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural patronage.  
  The Rashtrakutas, known for their military might, expanded their rule across vast territories, engaging in wars with the Pratiharas and Palas while fostering art and architecture, as seen in the magnificent Kailasanatha temple at Ellora.  
  The Hoysalas, emerging later, were fierce warriors and master builders, commissioning iconic temples such as those at Belur and Halebidu while defending their kingdom against rival invasions.  
  The Kakatiya Dynasty, renowned for its defensive strategies, constructed impressive fortifications like the Warangal Fort and resisted repeated invasions, including those from the Delhi Sultanate.  
  These warrior empires not only fought to expand and defend their territories but also enriched Indian culture, trade, and architecture, leaving an enduring impact on the history of the Deccan.

  A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
   
   
   
  It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.
