In these acclaimed essays, Sherry Simpson recounts her experiences as an ordinary woman confronting the vast expanses of water and wilderness of her home state. Her adventures include a harrowing bear encounter and a near-death experience falling into a glacial river, but she also finds an Alaska of surpassing, almost supernatural beauty and power. These lyrical essays thoughtfully explore one woman's effort to map both a sense of place and a sense of self in a world at once comforting and unforgiving.

Anthony Travellor, and the five other members of the Trailblazer team, are on their way to the moon. They are traveling in a modified ship, that wasn't designed to carry people. They have a limited time frame to get there, or risk running out of air. Their mission, to establish the first permanent operational base on the moon, is a secret, not known even to the U.S. Congress. The idea was first conceived in 1981, before the United States had the technology to accomplish the task. Now, on the day of the launch, the technology is still barely adequate to accomplish the mission. Preparations have been ongoing, and supplies have been landed on the moon's surface, waiting for the team's arrival. The problem they face is, even if they get there alive, there is no way for them to get back to the Earth. The breathable air in the ship, and their space suits, would not last long enough for the return trip - it's a one way ticket. Then, there is the challenge of constructing the shelter that will keep them alive, and doing so before the air in their suits runs out. Why would these explorers risk their lives to accomplish this mission? Each has their own reasons. They all see the need, and understand that risks are necessary when reaching for the stars. Patriotism, and the will to sacrifice for the security of their country, is part of it. Believing that if they don't do the job, no on else will, is another part. Their need for excitement and danger is also a part. To attempt what they are attempting, while understanding the potential for their own demise, defines each one of them as part of the rare breed willing to look the Grim Reaper in the eye, and stare him down. The Trailblazer team expected to put their lives at risk, but they didn't expect that someone else was already there, waiting for them. This unexpected, chance meeting with people from another galaxy would change their lives, as well as the future of the Earth.

From Amazon bestselling author Craig Briggs, The Journey continues with book ten in the series, THE ACCIDENTAL EXPLORER. Craig and Melanie enjoy the best of both worlds: spring, summer, and autumn in beautiful Galicia and winter on the Costa del Sol. During their time in Andalucía, they revisit some old haunts and explore new ones. He falls in love with the magic of Málaga and the charm of Estepona's old town, but questions Ronda's links to literary greats. On their return to Galicia, work in the vineyards requires his attention. Their passion for food and love of wine flow through Craig's narrative like a meandering waterway. Accompanying these irresistible flavours is an eclectic mix of music from Galician bagpipes to Portuguese fado and Spanish rock icons of the 1990s. Bumps in the road keep their feet on the ground, and a lapse in concentration results in an unwanted bill. When a slapdash landlord raises their concerns of a potential property scam, they hold their nerve, but nothing prepares them for Nature's assault on their precious grapes. Craig's flowing writing takes us on an unforgettable journey through Galicia and beyond. His keen observations and comedic prose breathe new life into history and introduces us to the characters preserving this rich culture for future generations.

The adventures of explorers are some of the most dramatic and exciting stories in history. Most young readers know about the "big names" in exploration--Columbus, Magellan, Da Gama, and so on. But in this series, Rebecca Stefoff not only offers new perspectives on these oldtimers, she also exposes her readers to some of the travelers and explorers who do not appear in the traditional history books. Consequently, the books in the series may occasionally wander off the highroad of history to follow the fascinating byways of adventure and anecdote as they span all parts of the world in over 2,000 years. The result is a wide-ranging yet coherent picture of geographical discovery, and a knowledge of dozens of extraordinary men and women whose journeys of discovery have reflected and shaped our view of the world. Each book focuses on one extraordinary aspect of exploration: Accidental Explorers Explorers who set out to look for one thing but found something else entirely, or who made marvelous discoveries by accident or sheer luck--Jedediah Smith, who pioneered the overland crossing to California, Henry Morton Stanley, the newspaperman who explored central Africa, and others more obscure but no less colorful, such as Chang Ch'ien, a kidnapped Chinese diplomat who involuntarily explored much of Asia in the 2nd century B.C. (507685-0) Women of the World Eight women whose heroic journeys added to the world's geographic knowledge: Ida Pfeiffer, an 19th century women with "an insatiable desire to travel" who circled the world--twice, Fanny Bullock Workman, the world's foremost woman moutaineer, an early feminist, and one of the most controversial figures in modern geography, and Alexandra David-Neel, the first western woman to enter Lhasa, the Forbidden City of Tibet. (507688-5) Scientific Explorers Scientific explorations on land, at sea, and in space--Captain James Cook's astronomical observations, the Great U.S. Exploring Expedition of the 1830s, the mapping expeditions and geological surveys of the American West by Fremont and others, and many more exciting and dramatic discoveries that have changed the way we view the world (507725-3)

The Sunday Times Bestseller. Funny, entertaining and really rather inspiring, too --Daily Mail ___ How does a cripplingly shy, geeky, perennially homesick boy end up rowing across the Atlantic? Ben Fogle's life has been action-packed to say the least. He has rowed across the Atlantic, walked to the South Pole, run the Sahara and ice-skated across Sweden. He has encountered isolated tribes in deepest Papua New Guinea, caused a Boeing 747 to dump £100k of fuel before making an emergency landing in Sao Paolo, and frequently been mistaken for Prince William along the way. So how did a cripplingly shy, geeky, perennially homesick boy end up doing all this? Ben's still not entirely sure himself, but this wonderful book tells his story and will strike a chord with anyone puzzling about life, and how to live it differently. This is a book about defying expectations, conquering fears, battling laziness and, just occasionally, winning. ___ Readers are inspired by The Accidental Adventurer: ***** 'A heartfelt account of his astounding adventures which leave you motivated to make the most out of life.' ***** 'His writing style takes you on the adventure with him . . . what an inspiration.' ***** 'I was looking for something that brought me all over the world, in one book, and I absolutely found it.'

"Kindness is everything. I love what Nahla has created and is growing through her adventures. Kindness to yourself, the world and others-if we can all be more of that, more of the time, life would be improved for us all." Sarah Outen MBE - British Athlete and Adventurer "Kindness. Action. Passion. Adventure. This book has it all. Prepared to be inspired." Sarah Williams - Tough Girls Founder "A reason to explore is the most important aspect of adventure. The need to push yourself physically and mentally in the extremes are challenges we create for ourselves. Operating in deserts, mountains, jungles, oceans or space are the platforms we choose. However, finding a reason to step out of your front door to experience life and to inspire others to act kindly in this fragile world is truly inspiring. The Accidental Adventurer is a reason to explore." Mark Wood - Polar Explorer. Have you ever wanted to know how to achieve your goals? Live your dream? Understand the meaning of it all? Do you want to change the inner chatter in your mind that stops you from your fullest living life? Nahla Summers will take you on a journey of resilience, purpose, facing fears and taking the time to stop and stare. From a place of deep sorrow, Nahla transformed her life by travelling 8,000 miles raising nearly 250,000 acts of kindness. Nahla has cycled 3000 miles across America, walked 500 miles from South to North England, and completed a World Record breaking, 5000-mile journey on a stand-up bike through every city in the UK. Why? Because she is driven not by her own motivation but by a message and community that is so much bigger than her. The message is simple, if happiness is the goal we seek, then kindness is the action that will get us there. This book, written during Nahla's most testing journey yet, demonstrates the extraordinary power of the mind when everything else fails.
