Theodore Roosevelt, known for his robust personality and prolific authorship, was deeply influenced by his own experiences as a soldier, politician, and conservationist. His fascination with military history and the sea stems from both a personal longing for adventure and a strategic understanding of the United States' position in global affairs. This work is a testament to Roosevelt's passion for history and his mission to inspire a sense of American exceptionalism through a nuanced understanding of its naval past. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, "The Fire on the Ocean" serves as a crucial companion to the study of American naval history.

Inside the Britannic -...

Simon Mills

The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
 
 
 
Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
 
 
 
The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

Misunderstood Transgender

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

The world of mankind is changing. Terminology is changing, adapting, evolving and being created. Nothing in society is changing more than gender terminology and almost nothing is causing more division.

It is changing what previous generations deemed to be unacceptable. Indeed much of what is now accepted and even promoted would have once placed millions in prison and worse. It was not so long ago that one of the world's greatest minds, Alan Turin, was chemically castrated for being gay. The man helped us to rid the world of the Nazi scourge and yet he ended his life in misery because of a society that saw him as disgusting.

Generations argue with each other today over the same issues and more. Today we argue about whether somebody who claims to feel to be a member of the opposite sex should be allowed in their toilets and changing rooms. The right wing traditionalists are aghast at the very idea. And yet today's youth seem to accept it easily. The difference is upbringing and influence. There is now a bewildering array of titles, names and designations to understand. From LGBTQ, gay, homosexual, transsexual, transgender and gender fluid to MtF, FtM, pangender, agender and tranvestism. There is little wonder that the previous generation is having difficulty understanding just what is happening, especially when we consider that even those within these categories argue about definitions.

In this book we are going to lift the veil on the world of the Transgender and reveal the secrets of a world most misunderstand.
