Sinossi

In the 19th century, the American West was a land of opportunity, a place where anything was possible. It was a land where dreams were made and fortunes lost, a land of beauty and danger.

Crossing into the Rockies tells the story of a group of pioneers who journey to the West in search of a new life. They come from all walks of life, from wealthy landowners to poor farmers, from young couples to families with children. They are all drawn by the promise of the West, the chance to start over and build a better life for themselves.

The journey to the West is long and arduous. The pioneers must travel across treacherous mountains, vast deserts, and raging rivers. They must face harsh weather, hunger, and disease. And they must always be on the lookout for attacks from Native American tribes.

But despite the dangers, the pioneers persevere. They are driven by their dreams of a better life, and they are determined to make it in the West. They build new homes, they start new businesses, and they raise new families. They help to shape the West into the land that it is today.

Crossing into the Rockies is a story of courage, determination, and hope. It is a story of the American dream, and it is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

    In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. When he fought as a member several Boer commandos, he made full use of these skills and the endurance he acquired during the war.  
    He was involved in major actions, such as the Battle of Spion Kop, and he interacted with prominent political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener.  
    Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with Smuts after the war, one built one reciprocal respect. 
    Commando is more than a historical document. With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity, transcending time. 
    As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.

    On how our sense of balance has defined us as a nation and will safeguard our future. 
      
    In the years that John Howard served in the national parliament he came to understand the special character of Australia; to appreciate its strengths and weaknesses; and most importantly to respect the sense of balance in the formulation of public policy that has long defined us as a nation and made Australia an attractive destination for people from across the world. 
    In this book he explores this balance, its foundations and its future. Written against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as some of the more contested political events of recent years - the election of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the rise of China, and, within our own country, a carousel of six prime ministers in eleven years - these reflections touch on how Australia has responded to pressure over the last decade or so. Commentary on these subjects from politicians, opinion writers and social media can sometimes seem shrill and divisive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving prime minister has faith that no matter what challenges and extremes threaten to upset our sense of balance, the country's institutions and people will remain robust into the foreseeable future. 
    PRAISE 
    'John Howard's ongoing and important contribution to this country continues with his latest laser sharp book, A Sense of Balance. No former leader understands the Australian character better than our 25th Prime Minister' Janet Albrechtsen, columnist

    Social change is a fundamental aspect of human societies, shaping the way individuals interact, institutions function, and cultures evolve over time. It refers to significant alterations in social structures, norms, values, and behaviors, often influenced by economic, political, technological, and cultural factors. While some changes occur gradually over centuries, others unfold rapidly, altering the course of history within a few years or even months. Understanding social change requires examining its causes, patterns, and consequences, as well as recognizing the role individuals and groups play in driving transformation. 
    Throughout history, societies have experienced shifts driven by a variety of forces. Economic transitions, such as the shift from agrarian economies to industrial and, more recently, digital economies, have fundamentally altered the ways people work and interact. Political revolutions, from the fall of monarchies to the rise of democratic governance, have redefined power structures and individual rights. Technological innovations, including the printing press, the internet, and artificial intelligence, have revolutionized communication, knowledge dissemination, and daily life. Cultural shifts, such as changing gender roles and attitudes toward diversity, have reshaped social expectations and relationships. Each of these changes reflects the dynamic nature of human society, demonstrating that no culture or system remains static.

    Captain James Cook FRS was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy who is most well-known for his 3 explorations to the Pacific Ocean, especially to Australia, between 1768 and 1779. Prior to finishing 3 trips to the Pacific, he drew precise maps of Newfoundland and made the first documented European encounter with the eastern coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first noted circumnavigation of New Zealand. 
    As a youngster, Cook signed up with the British merchant fleet before signing up with the Royal Navy in the year 1755. Throughout the siege of Quebec, he saw fight in the 7 Years' War and later on surveyed and recorded much of the Saint Lawrence River's entryway, bringing him to the notification of the Admiralty and the Royal Society. That honor took place at a rather critical point in his profession and in the direction of British abroad expedition, resulting in his appointment as leader of HMS Endeavor for the first of 3 Pacific explorations in the year 1766.  
    Cook traveled countless kilometers over mainly untouched parts of the world on these journeys. He checked out spots in the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand to Hawaii in greater detail and on a scale never ever before seen by Western explorers. For the first time, he surveyed and recognized things, and recording isles and shorelines on European maps. He displayed seamanship, remarkable surveying and cartography abilities, physical bravery, and the capability to lead men to different area all over the world.
