Ernest Shackleton

Sur es la historia del viaje más importante de Sir Ernest Shackleton, narrada por él mismo: la Expedición Imperial Transantártica. Sintiendo que el orgullo de su patria, Gran Bretaña, estaba perdido al no haber sido el primer país en alcanzar el Polo Sur geográfico —el noruego Roald Amundsen lo había conquistado en 1911—, Shackleton planificó un nuevo viaje con grandes ambiciones. No sólo se proponía llegar al Polo Sur, sino que soñaba con atravesar a pie el vasto continente blanco, desde el mar de Weddell hasta el mar de Ross, una distancia total de 2900 kilómetros.

A Long Way From Home Vol 2
A Long Way From Home Vol 2
C L Miller
Learning to do something is frequently the easier part. Doing it well takes the effort. A year on the road taught me a lot, and also let me know how much more I needed to experience. It seemed we were settling into the job, getting the routine down, and becoming comfortable with the demands. Many things that worried me a year ago were now dismissed with a casual wave of my hand. The stress level was lower and I was relaxing. My confidence was growing. I began to wonder when the adventures would stop, when the job would get blasé, when I would get bored. It hasn't happened yet.

Outsiders and Outcasts in the Mexica World
Outsiders and Outcasts in the Mexica World
Jaime Echeverría García
The study of pre-Hispanic societies focuses not only on their most remarkable aspects—their technological developments, military exploits, political events, and economic achievements—but also on the everyday phenomena through which their ideology and identity are reproduced. One such element is the interaction between members of a community and foreigners or socially marginalized figures—those persons on the periphery of a culture who permanently transgress the prevailing social, ethico-moral, and behavioral norms.

We Promise Not To Tell
We Promise Not To Tell
Albert Able

A human story of love, pain, humour, and ambition all spiced with a little scandal and intrigue, We Promise Not to Tell is a dramatisation, plus a little author’s licence of 40 highly successful years in and around the hotel business. Much of it recorded in photographs, on video, and in personal diaries. Starting with nothing more than a little street sense, the book takes you on an emotional journey to battle with prejudice and corruption to create success. The book rarely refers to people or hotels by name, and when it does, the names are fictitious. It includes numerous …
