A BOOK OF DISCOVERY"The History of the Worlds Exploration, From the Earliest Times to the Finding of the South Pole"A LITTLE OLD WORLDNo story is complete unless it begins at the very beginning. But where is the beginning? Where is the dawn of geographya"the knowledge of our earth? What was it like before the first explorers made their way into distant lands? Every day that passes we are gaining fresh knowledge of the dim and silent past.Every day men are patiently digging in the old heaps that were once the sites of busy cities, and, as a result of their unwearying toil, they are revealing to us the life-stories of those who dwelt therein; they are disclosing secrets writ on weather-worn stones and tablets, bricks and cylinders, never before even guessed at.Thus we read the wondrous story of ancient days, and breathlessly wonder what marvellous discovery will thrill us next.For the earliest account of the old world -a world made up apparently of a little land and a little water -we turn to an old papyrus, the oldest in existence, which tells us in familiar words, unsurpassed for their exquisite poetry and wondrous simplicity, of that great dateless time so full of mystery and awe."In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.... And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God ... divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.... And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.... And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas."Thus beautifully did the children of men express their earliest idea of the worlds distribution of land and water.

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo responder se os desastres ocorridos em Angra dos Reis so frutos da maior frequencia e intensidade dos eventos extremos e/ou das situaçes de risco criadas a partir da vulnerabilidade social da populaço e suas formas de ocupaço. Em duas decadas de dados analisados foram identificados tres eventos catastroficos (2002, 2010 e 2013) com as seguintes caracteristicas: associados a sistemas frontais; maiores a cada evento; mais intensos em Angra dos Reis do que nos municipios vizinhos; apenas 2010 e 2013 se consolidaram como eventos extremos. Concluimos que as consequencias foram mais graves devido a condiço de vida ruim da populaço atingida e, assim, percebe-se que os problemas enfrentados em Angra dos Reis so uma conjunço de processos naturais e sociais ocasionados pela proximidade da Serra do Mar com o Oceano Atlantico, fazendo com que episodios eventuais se tornem catastroficos para uma parcela da populaço, normalmente aquelas que acabam por ocupar as encostas, areas mais afetadas por fenomenos naturais mais intensos.

A Drama in Mexico is a vivid and engaging short work by Charles Dickens that combines travel writing with historical reflection.

Rather than focusing solely on the event itself, the story reflects Dickenss deep concern with justice, authority, and the human cost of political conflict.The work stands out for its immediacy and moral seriousness. Dickens uses the event as a lens through which to examine themes of power, violence, and public spectacle, questioning the effectiveness and humanity of capital punishment. His prose is direct and compelling, blending journalistic observation with emotional insight.A Drama in Mexico is a striking example of Dickenss ability to transform real-world experiences into meaningful commentary. Short yet impactful, the piece offers readers a rare glimpse into Dickens as an eyewitness to history and serves as a thought-provoking reflection on justice, punishment, and human dignity.

The story of how the map of New Zealand emerged is a fascinating one. The first full map of the continent was published in London in 1773, which might seem the natural starting point, but over the preceding 150 years, fragments of charts and intelligence about New Zealand ricocheted around various parts of the world. In A Draught of the South Land: Mapping New Zealand from Tasman to Cook, Paul Moon provides the first comprehensive account of this piecemeal process. Moons investigation covers several continents over more than a century, and reveals the personalities, blunders, strategic miscalculations, scientific brilliance, and imperial power-plays that were involved. Above all, he examines the roles played by explorers and traders, M?ori and European rulers, scientific societies and military groups, as well as specialist cartographers and publishers. At a time when maps as colonial tools, enablers of trade and objects of curiosity are being studied anew, his careful analysis and engaging narrative will be of interest to scholars everywhere.

With this book is completed a trilogy of works begun in 2005 with This City Now: Glasgow and its Working Class Past, and continuing with Clydeside; Red Orange and Green in 2009. The three books have all had similar aims in trying to raise the profile of forgotten or neglected areas and aspects of Glasgow and its history, in a small way trying to boost the esteem in which such places are held by the people who live in there and by those who visit. Moving away slightly from the working class focus, this third instalment presents a broad view of Glasgows industrial, social and intellectual history. From public art to socialist memorials, and from factories to cultural hubs, Ian Mitchell takes the reader on a guided tour of Glasgow, outlining walking routes which encompass the citys forgotten icons.
