Percy Fawcett - The Explorer Who Walked into the Jungle and Never Returned

Thomas Loki

Sinossi

Percy Fawcett was a man obsessed. A fearless British explorer, he believed in the existence of a lost city deep in the Amazon rainforest—an ancient civilization he called Z. In 1925, he set out on what should have been his greatest discovery, venturing into the heart of the jungle with his son and a small expedition team. But then, the world heard nothing.
 
 
 
No letters. No distress signals. No bodies.
 
 
 
Fawcett and his team vanished without a trace. Theories have swirled for nearly a century. Did they succumb to disease? Were they attacked by hostile tribes? Or—more chillingly—did they find something so incredible that they never wanted to leave?
 
 
 
His story has inspired books, films, and endless speculation. But the ultimate question remains: What really happened to Percy Fawcett in the depths of the Amazon?

Aotearoa New Zealand - The...

Lillian Brooks

Aotearoa New Zealand, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, is a country with a rich and diverse history that stretches back over a thousand years. Its historical and cultural journey has been shaped by the convergence of Māori and European influences, which has made Aotearoa one of the most unique nations in the world. The story of Aotearoa is not just one of migration and colonization but also of resilience, adaptation, and the constant negotiation of identity, land, and culture.
The Māori people, the indigenous inhabitants of New Zealand, arrived from eastern Polynesia in several waves of migration around the 13th century. Over the centuries, they developed a sophisticated culture, which included a rich oral tradition, strong tribal structures, and deep spiritual and cultural ties to the land. The Māori worldview was shaped by the concept of whenua (land), whakapapa (genealogy), and wairua (spirit), and their connection to the environment played a fundamental role in shaping their social and cultural practices.
The arrival of Europeans, led by explorers such as Abel Tasman in 1642 and Captain James Cook in 1769, marked a turning point in New Zealand’s history. Initial encounters between Māori and Europeans were characterized by curiosity, exchange, and occasional conflict. However, as European settlement expanded throughout the 19th century, the effects on Māori society became profound. The introduction of new technologies, ideas, and diseases, coupled with land confiscation and colonization, reshaped the cultural landscape of the country. This period led to the displacement of Māori from their ancestral lands and the beginning of a long history of legal and political struggles to protect their rights and sovereignty.

The Art of the Impossible - How...

Andrew Reid, Simon Carr

"A revelation" – Nigel Farage
***
Nothing like it had ever been done before. In January 2019, the Brexit Party was just a name. Over a matter of weeks, the party would be launched, stand candidates across seventy seats and become the largest single party in the European Parliament.
Along the way, it fought Establishment quangos, the courts, Parliament, the Speaker and the government – hammering the Conservatives so hard it forced the resignation of their Prime Minister – to win nearly twice as many seats as its nearest rival.
It was a success beyond anyone's dreams (or, indeed, anyone's worst nightmare). And the inside story of how it happened may serve as a manual of how to – and occasionally how not to – do it.
This unique book details the wild ride of the brand-new Brexit Party as it heads from triumph in the European elections to disaster in the general election six months later. Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat's cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks.
