James Smithson is best known as the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, but few people know his full and fascinating story. He was a widely respected chemist and mineralogist and a member of the Royal Society, but in 1865, his letters, collection of 10,000 minerals, and more than 200 unpublished papers were lost to a fire in the Smithsonian Castle. His scientific legacy was further written off as insignificant in an 1879 essay published through the Smithsonian 50 years after his death - a claim that author Steven Turner demonstrates is far from the truth.

Published to coincide with the centenary of the first expeditions to reach the South Pole, An Empire of Ice presents a fascinating new take on Antarctic exploration. Retold with added information, it's the first book to place the famed voyages of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, his British rivals Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton, and others in a larger scientific, social, and geopolitical context.

Changing history offers alternate perspectives and history from the parallel universes in our world. Asking, what would happen if a single event, statistic or personal attribute was changed. Imbuing Buddha with Homicidal Violence, or wiping out the existence of Jesus and hence Christianity. What if you had to survive 7 days at sea in the Jurassic Period, had to hide in the ocean from the Megalodon or were hunted by the worlds most dangerous snake?

Die Geschichte verändern bietet alternative Perspektiven und Geschichten aus den Paralleluniversen unserer Welt. Man fragt sich, was passieren würde, wenn ein einzelnes Ereignis, eine Statistik oder eine persönliche Eigenschaft verändert würde. Buddha mit mörderischer Gewalt erfüllen oder die Existenz Jesu und damit das Christentum auslöschen. Was wäre, wenn Sie in der Jurazeit 7 Tage auf See überleben müssten, sich im Ozean vor dem Megalodon verstecken müssten oder von der gefährlichsten Schlange der Welt gejagt würden?

改变历史为我们的世界带来了平行宇宙的替代视角和历史。问一问，如果改变一个事件、统计数据或个人属性会发生什么。将杀人暴力灌输给佛陀，或抹去耶稣的存在，从而抹去基督教。如果你必须在侏罗纪时期的海上生存 7 天，必须在海里躲避巨齿鲨，或被世界上最危险的蛇追杀，会怎么样？Gǎibiàn lìshǐ wèi wǒmen de shìjiè dài láile píngxíng yǔzhòu de tìdài shìjiǎo hé lìshǐ. Wèn yī wèn, rúguǒ gǎibiàn yīgè shìjiàn, tǒngjì shùjù huò gèrén shǔxìng huì ...

Changer l'histoire offre des perspectives et une histoire alternatives à partir des univers parallèles de notre monde. On se demande ce qui se passerait si un seul événement, une statistique ou un attribut personnel était modifié. Imprégner Bouddha de violence homicide, ou anéantir l'existence de Jésus et donc du christianisme. Et si vous deviez survivre 7 jours en mer à l'époque jurassique, vous cacher dans l'océan du mégalodon ou être chassé par le serpent le plus dangereux du monde ?

Cambiando la historia nos brinda perspectivas alternativas y la historia de los universos paralelos de nuestro mundo. ¿Qué pasaría si se cambiara un solo evento, estadística o atributo personal? ¿Qué pasaría si se infundiera violencia homicida en Buda o si se eliminara la existencia de Jesús y, por lo tanto, la cristiandad? ¿Qué pasaría si tuvieras que sobrevivir siete días en el mar en el período Jurásico, si tuvieras que esconderte en el océano del Megalodón o si te persiguiera la serpiente más peligrosa del mundo?

Mudar a história dá perspectivas alternativas e história dos universos paralelos em nosso mundo. Perguntando, o que aconteceria se um único evento, estatística ou atributo pessoal fosse alterado. Imbuindo Buda com Violência Homicida, ou eliminando a existência de Jesus e, portanto, o Cristianismo. E se você tivesse que sobreviver 7 dias no mar no Período Jurássico, tivesse que se esconder no oceano do Megalodon ou fosse caçado pela cobra mais perigosa do mundo?

To some travel is leisure, to some luxury, to some it's a break, to some it's a way of life. Some travel to lose themselves, some to find themselves, some travel to seek, some to give, some to learn and some to work. The meaning of travel is subjective. To each their own! But everybody who travels loves to be in that "state of travel". To experience the uncertainties, to not know what to expect next, is something travelers thrive for. What is travel to you?
