  Eothen - Traces of Travels...

  Alexander Kinglake

  • 0

  One of the most witty and idiosyncratic travel books, Eothen started out as a few notes scribbled on the back of a map for a friend, but took Kinglake seven years of painstaking work to finesse. The physical details of the journey, undertaken in 1834 through Turkey, Cyprus, the Holy Land, Cairo and Damascus, are barely mentioned. The infectious charm lies in the conversations, the whimsical chance encounters and the attitudes of the author. Over the years, Kinglake has been recognised as a stylist without equal.

  "This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.

  TOM BRADY 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Tom Brady is a celebrated American football quarterback with a career spanning 23 seasons. He played for the New England Patriots (2000-2019) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-2022). Brady is considered one of the greatest NFL players of all time and has set numerous records. Brady has 7 Super Bowl wins and 5 Super Bowl MVP awards, both records. He has also won 3 NFL Most Valuable Player awards. He is the all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns, and has won more games than any other quarterback in NFL history. He has been named to the NFL's All-Decade teams for both the 2000s and 2010s. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Tom Brady's college career at the University of Michigan saw him complete 395 of 638 passes for 4,773 yards and 30 touchdowns. His time at Michigan included a redshirt year in 1995, and he played from 1996 to 1999. 
    
  In 2015, the NFL published a 243-page report about the deflation of footballs used in the AFC Championship Game, concluding that Brady was likely aware of the intentional deflation. Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL due to his involvement. 
    
  A sportswriter revealed that the NFL falsified data and hid information that would have cleared Brady and the Patriots of wrongdoing in the "Deflategate" scandal. It was also noted that 11 of 12 Patriot footballs were not outside the predicted range of the Ideal Gas Law. 
    
  NFL executives reportedly did not know about the Ideal Gas Law, which explains how air pressure in a football can change in certain environments. NFL general counsel Jeff Pash ordered that the records of all PSI data gathered from the 2015 season be deleted.

  Secret Earth - Places You...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The world as we know it feels mapped, photographed, and documented—a planet where satellites sweep the skies and every mountain, desert, and shoreline is marked with coordinates. Yet, beneath this illusion of total knowledge, lie hidden corners humanity was never meant to see. Secret Earth: Places You Weren’t Meant to Find is a compelling journey into those forbidden zones—territories of secrecy, danger, and mystery that resist the light of exposure. 
  Across twenty richly told chapters, the book reveals a global atlas of the hidden and the unreachable. Some places are locked away by governments, their gates sealed with silence. Consider Area 51, that infamous desert base where secrecy turned into myth, or Pine Gap, Australia’s “eye in the sky,” where satellites and signals weave webs of global surveillance. Others are shielded by cultural guardianship—lands like North Sentinel Island, where an indigenous people reject all contact, or the Vatican Archives, whose shelves hide manuscripts and histories beyond public reach. Still others are guarded by nature itself, such as Snake Island in Brazil, where thousands of lethal vipers forbid human settlement, or the fragile chambers of the Lascaux Caves, sealed because a single breath could erase art that has survived for 17,000 years. 
  The book moves fluidly from ancient ruins to modern fortresses, from legendary sites to contemporary phenomena. We descend into the underground labyrinth of Derinkuyu in Turkey, where entire towns once lived in secret, and stand before India’s haunted Bhangarh Fort, abandoned to legend and cursed memory. We explore Mezhgorye in Russia, a mysterious closed city guarding subterranean secrets, and enter the strange exclusivity of Bohemian Grove, California, where the powerful retreat into ritual behind towering redwoods.
