Magellan was not the first Circumnavigator. In fact, neither his mission nor even his intent was to sail around the world. In his captivating book \"In Pursuit of Longitude: Magellan and the Antimeridian\", marine geologist and explorer André Rossfelder reminds us that the Portuguese navigator's strict instructions were only to lay a Spanish claim to the fabled Spice Islands, the Moluccas. Charles of Spain had endorsed his proposal to find the seaway rumored to exist through the New World, and then to cross the unexplored face of Earth and confirm that these treasure islands were on Spain's side of the Antimeridian, the Line separating the Portuguese and Spanish domains. This meant ascertaining their position within two degrees of longitude by sole means of dead-reckoning after sailing across some 200 meridians of uncharted waters -- an extraordinaty feat. Magellan's credibility was supported by years of combats and voyages through Portuguese India, but while possession was the king's goal, the navigator harbored his own aims: to search for and claim governorship of the gold-rich Luçoes, now the Philippines. Close to success, he died in a vain combat. His victory was elsewhere. At the heart of this book is the study of genius, and how one man navigated with amazing confidence and precision to the far side of the world through storms, intrigues and mutinies, and forever changed maritime history. Survivors' accounts of the Pacific crossing, an in-depth analysis of this course as logged by Magellan's pilot Francisco Albo, an extensive bibliography and an index complete the book.

Their leader, the last to die and the man whose diary described their agonies was Robert Falcon Scott. The expedition had been beaten to the Pole by a band of racing Norwegians, led by Roald Amundsen. The bodies of the last three to die were found seven months later and, ever since, Scott's men have been British heroes. It is that legend, as much as their ordeal that is the subject of this book. Scott's men and the supporting characters, Amundsen and Shackleton, his rivals; Clement Markham, his discoverer; his wife Kathleen -- give a fascinating picture of English society before the First World War.

It tells the story of the first non-indigenous people to visit a large part of the present-day United States and Mexico and documents their first contacts with a number of pre-Columbian native American tribes. It describes the series of disasters and calamities that reduced Narvaez's army of 300 men down to four, including skirmishes with naked, bow-wielding natives, getting lost at sea, becoming shipwrecked, and being captured and forced to live as slaves of people who tortured them for their own amusement. It further describes how, after the four survivors were at their lowest, with nothing but their faith in God to keep them going, their fortunes turned, enabling them to emerge triumphantly from the wilderness, after eight years of being lost, surrounded by hundreds of adoring natives who believed them to be Children of the Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of this book is David Carson's accurate, literal translation of Cabeza de Vaca's account. Not content with the typical approach of loosely paraphrasing the original text so as to get the basic idea across, Carson painstakingly chooses each English word so as to best replicate the author's words and voice. The result is the closest thing there is to reading \u003ci\u003eLa Relacion\u003c\/i\u003e in Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext, Carson takes on the roles of editor, analyst, and commentator. Through his hundreds of annotations to the text, Carson tracks the Narvaez Expedition members' movements across Florida, the Gulf coast, Texas, and northern Mexico to an impressive level of detail and with insights that should settle several long-standing controversies about where the castaways went, and when they were there. He then goes even deeper, analyzing the castaways' motives in light of the culture of Spanish exploration in the Age of Discovery and pointing out the author's occasional contradictions and exaggerations. To bolster his analysis, Carson brings in relevant material from other 16th-century records, including Gonzalo de Oviedo's paraphrased version of the \"Joint Report,\" which Cabeza de Vaca also co-authored. All of Carson's annotations are set off as footnotes, meaning one can make full use of them if desired, or simply skip them and read only the basic translation. Maps, a chronology, a glossary, a prologue, and an epilogue complete the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have not read Cabeza de Vaca before, prepare for a fascinating story that will show you a side of American history you never knew about.

He was the first person to circumnavigate the world three times and the first Englishman to map parts of Australia and New Guinea. He was a celebrated and best-selling travel writer and achieved wide fame for his vivid descriptions of the various lands and people he encountered. In 1699 Dampier was offered the command of an expedition aimed at proving that New Holland was a continent on its own and not connected to Asia or the Americas. Sailing from England in the Roebuck, Dampier touched at Bahia in Brazil before rounding the Cape of Good Hope. After crossing the Indian Ocean, the Roebuck anchored at the entrance to the inlet Dampier named Shark Bay. A week later Dampier started cruising north along the coast of New Holland to find fresh water. Stopping at many places along the way Dampier made extensive notes on what he saw and collected many specimens, leading some to describe him as 'Australia's first natural historian'. Failing to find any water he left the coast near Roebuck Bay in early September and set a course for Timor and then home. This work, A Voyage to New Holland, is Dampier's account of the voyage of the Roebuck, which was the British Navy's first expedition wholly devoted to science and exploration. In his book Dampier describes the difficulties he had with his officers and crew, his brush with the Inquisition in Brazil, and his encounters with the indigenous peoples of the lands he visited. He also provides many fascinating first descriptions of a wealth of flora and fauna. Dampier's words are lively, immediate and exciting, and they provide an immensely valuable insight into the life of one of the seventeenth century's most interesting, adventurous, and well-travelled men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 7.99 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868034019582,"sku":"9780994317247","price":12.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/JIdweTEVj89780994317247.webp?v=1788559701"},{"product_id":"confessions-of-a-macedonian-bandit-a-californian-in-the-balkan-wars-paperback","title":"Confessions of a Macedonian Bandit: A Californian in the Balkan Wars - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAlbert Sonnichsen\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom February to November of 1906, California journalist Albert Sonnichsen made his way through the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, observing firsthand a country falling apart.

And we see them as the living embodiment of the capitalist system, regardless if we take it as a good or a bad omen. However, this wasn't always the case. For the majority of history, it was the kings and emperors who wielded the most influence, commanded the largest armies, and had the largest treasures. And all of them would laugh at the idea of some merchants managing to not only catch up to their supremacy and riches but even surpass them. Yet they did.

scholarly types. Some regard the Company as a prime example of an empire draining the resources of underprivileged people and destroying their entire cultures in a heartbeat. Others see it as the earliest corporate business enterprise and a precursor to modern capitalism. But with 258 years of activity, the East India Company can't really be defined in these simple terms. It's all of them yet so much more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Within this volume, we'd like to introduce the fascinating world of the EIC to you, with all of its bits and bobs and as uncut as possible. We'll get to meet some of the fascinating people that shaped the Company, from various Indian royalty to different British servants of the EIC, as well as its detractors on both sides of the Eurasian landmass. But more importantly, we'll get to see what made the petty English merchants embark upon the journey to the East and what made the Company rise from a trading business to a semi-independent country. And, consequently, what made it fall.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe East India Company: A Captivating Guide to the English Company That Was Created for the Exploitation of Trade with East and Southeast Asia and India\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Company's First Century: Establishment and Growth of the EIC, Rivals, and Issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Company's Second Century: Growth and Expansion, Trade with China, Financial Crises, and \"Statehood\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Company's Third Century: The EIC's Military Exploits, Indian Nationalism, Racial and Religious Ideologies, and the Dissolution of the EIC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEffects of the EIC: Changes in the British Society, Impact on Local People Groups, and Growth of the British Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNotable Individuals of the EIC Era\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the history of the East India Company, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 19, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893236150526,"sku":"9781647483326","price":16.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/FY0zh52Yo9781647483326_affd862d-6a6d-48e5-89b4-ec92b45682c4.webp?v=1788688056"},{"product_id":"the-americas-a-captivating-guide-to-the-history-of-the-continents-of-north-and-south-america-starting-from-the-olmecs-through-the-maya-and-aztecs-to-paperback-2","title":"The Americas: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Continents of North and South America, Starting from the Olmecs through the Maya and Aztecs to - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eCaptivating History\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you want to discover the captivating history of the Americas, then keep reading...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe one-character trait that sometimes surpasses the human instinct for survival is curiosity.

He led the first expedition to cross the Greenland ice cap in 1888, and in 1893 undertook a new adventure to sail to the New Siberian Islands from Norway.

In 1922, Nansen was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts following World War I: heading Norway's delegation to the League of Nations, overseeing the repatriation of war prisoners, advocating for refugees, and many more humanitarian causes.

In the brilliant dual biography, the award-winning writer Roland Huntford re-examines every detail of the great race to the South Pole between Britain's Robert Scott and Norway's Roald Amundsen. Scott, who dies along with four of his men only eleven miles from his next cache of supplies, became Britain's beloved failure, while Amundsen, who not only beat Scott to the Pole but returned alive, was largely forgotten. This account of their race is a gripping, highly readable history that captures the driving ambitions of the era and the complex, often deeply flawed men who were charged with carrying them out. THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH is the first of Huntford's masterly trilogy of polar biographies. It is also the only work on the subject in the English language based on the original Norwegian sources, to which Huntford returned to revise and update this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoland Huntford\u003c\/b\u003e is the former Scandinavian correspondent for the London \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e.
