Описание: This is that rarest of books, the one you grab when the house is on fire, or you're about to be marooned on a desert island with nothing else to read. Sven Hedin was not only one of the greatest explorers of the nineteenth century, he was also a brilliant storyteller. Nowhere does the Swedish author tell a tale of excitement, adventure, danger, travel, and hair-raising escape like he does in "My Life as an Explorer". Written in an engaging anecdotal style, Hedin explains how he first went to Persia in 1885. Even this first trip was full of mishaps, as he nearly lost his life riding across the snow-covered Elbruz mountains during a fierce snow-storm. Yet Hedin miraculously survived and went on to meet the Shah of Persia. Thus was set the pattern for his remarkable future, which was one part royalty and ten parts danger. "My Life as an Explorer" regales the reader with almost more adventure than one can bear to read. Hedin raids the burial grounds of a secret Asian sect. He courts disaster with the Emir of Bokhara. He climbs accursed mountains in China, discovers lost cities in the Gobi desert, infiltrates Tibet, outwits Torgut bandits, and of course becomes close friends with royalty from Peking to London, including the rulers of both the Russian and British empires. In short Hedin lived a life so full of adventure and escape that merely reading about it is exhausting. Illustrated with dozens of his own drawings, this remains the single most exciting adventure travel book written in the early twentieth century.

Описание:
Eric Hedin was enjoying a productive career as a physics professor at Ball State University when the letter from a militant atheist arrived and all hell broke loose. The conflict spilled first onto the pages of the local newspaper, and then into the national news. The atheist attack included threats from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which targeted Hedin after learning his Boundaries of Science course exposed students to an evidence-based case for design and purpose in cosmology, physics, and biochemistry. Canceled Science tells the dramatic story of the atheist campaign to cancel Hedin's course, reveals the evidence the atheists tried to bury, and explores discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of the nature and origin of matter, space, and even time itself.

Описание: Mary Caine is pushing sixty and pulling her hair out that the one thing she counts on--the Mid-Summer Carnival may not happen this year. Mary owns and operates the General Store in Whistle, Minnesota like her father before her. She's five years sober, and taking stock of her life. She openly adores the Mid-Summer Carnival, secretly hopes her mom, who abandoned her as a child, will return with the carnival company, and Mary passionately loves Sadie Barnes--her first love, who left town thirty years ago. Mary wants a second chance and feels like she might get it when Sadie comes back to town to take a school administer position. Interestingly, a new midway company, Transformations and Amusements arrives in town too. Suddenly, everything goes to pieces: Big Bottom Foods Company claims they own the right to the carnival barbeque sauce recipe. No barbequed chicken at the carnival means no profits to fund scholarships. Additionally, two dead bodies are found by the lake, the sheriff suspects a serial killer, and Sadie Barnes is implicated in the plot to sell the sauce recipe and in murder. With the help of her pilfering, talking crow named, Win and her faithful hound named, Bob Barker, Mary is determined to win back Sadie's love, exonerate her from the murder, solve the suspicious deaths, preserve the carnival, and for extra credit, help Sarah, the pregnant teen Mary has employed at her grocery store. This general fiction romp has some mystery, small-town color, and is a love story between women who have known each other fresh out of college and now again at another stage of their lives.
