Discover the remarkable life of Daniel Boone... Daniel Boone is one of those figures in American history whose life often intertwines with myths and legends. While numerous tall tales surround this American adventurer, many of his greatest feats are actually true. They are not merely artifacts of folklore—they genuinely happened. Daniel Boone really did blaze a trail through the Cumberland Gap into the western frontier. He really did become initiated as a member of the Shawnee (who gave him the name “Big Turtle”), and he really did serve under Revolutionary War General George Rogers Clark.

THE PLACE AT THE END OF ALL ROADS The place at the end of all roads was called Glenora, beside the Stikine River. The dirt road simply ended on the rocky shore of the river. Past that point for hundreds of miles to the south, west and north, there were no roads and no people until the river finally reached Alaska, 150 miles away. It was there and beyond where we lived and raised our family for many years. In late March of 1976 my wife Ann and I, with our four month old baby, Ariana, drove into the village of Telegraph Creek, BC, the most remote community in all of British Columbia, Canada, ...

About the Book What an incredible story! Bearing The Burden of Nations is a story of strength, determinations and severe trials in a world saturated with corruption. Paulos’ blessed experiences are told within braids of lessons with Biblical stories and verses. This is a story of growing up in Ethiopia, experiences from the Sycamore tree, to the climb of “Paulos’ Palms”, to being imprisoned numerous times, to travelling barefoot to escape to Kenya, to his immigration to Canada — a true story of strength.

What happens when a burnt-out techie professional ditches the comforts of modern life and hikes 2,650 miles across the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada? A head-on collision of midlife crisis and wilderness reality, where he’s never felt more alive. Somewhere between blisters, bear poop, and resupply, it clicks. Those cryptic ideas of Zen and Taoism he skimmed almost two decades ago—about ‘simplicity’ and ‘attachment,’ the kind most of us flag as hippie nonsense, weren’t entirely wrong.

Am Abend des 13. August 1970 hatte der Polizist Evald Maarup auf dem Heimweg in der Nähe von Hadersleben in Dänemark eine Begegnung mit einem unbekannten Flugobjekt, welches sein Auto lahmlegte. Alles zu seiner Begegnung gibt es in diesem Hörspiel zu hören.

Tipping has been one of those difficult adjustments for me to make, now that we live in Portugal and Spain. While I am tempted to use the same rule of thumb that guided my gratuities in the USA – 20% for good service, 10-15% for acceptable, less for less – I am seeing how awkward even appreciative workers here may feel and react when given a tip based on these percentages.

Melissa Chapman was 23 years old and part of a happy, loving family. With no cell phone, no GPS, no support team or truck following with supplies, Chapman quickly learned that the reality of a cross-country horseback journey was quite different from the fantasy. Her solo adventure would immediately rest her mental, physical, and emotional resources as she and her four-legged companions were forced to adapt to the dangers and loneliness of a trek that would span over 2,600 miles, beginning in New York State and reaching its end on the other side of the country, in California.

Beginning the expedition in the tree lined streets of Mendoza, the team headed into the heart of the Andes on the way to the foot of Aconcagua. We avoided the busier Ruta Normal and instead followed the Vacas Valley on the approach to the mountain, gradually getting introduced to the thin mountain air along the way. Three days of trekking, fording rivers, and navigating twisting valleys brought us to the base of Aconcagua’s hidden east side where the climbing began. From the Base Camp at Plaza Argentina we followed the Guanacos Variation. We established three successive camps on the ...

In 2013, Bill Bennett walked the Camino Frances – the iconic 800km ancient pilgrimage route across Spain. Before he left, he began a blog for a handful of family and friends. He posted each day of his walk, and his following quickly grew exponentially, principally because of his quirky writing style, but also because he used the blog to explore his inner journey with brutal honesty, unafraid to explore his failings. When he returned home, he wrote a book based on the blog posts. The book, called The Way, My Way, became an international best-seller. The book then became a highly acclaimed ...

At 83 years old, Valerie Taylor has lived a big, bold, adventurous life. Born in Australia, Valerie spent a great deal of her childhood in New Zealand. A talented artist, she dropped out of school when she contracted polio and was saved by Sister Elizabeth Kenny's treatment plan; it was two years before she could walk unaided. When Valerie was 15, she found work as an animator and moved back to Australia with her family. All the while she thrived on being close to the ocean, and was a keen spearfisher.

Mollie Hughes has explored some of the wildest environments on earth, from the top of Mount Everest to the vast frozen wastes of Antarctica, where at the age of 29 she skied solo from the edge of the continent to the South Pole in a journey of more than 700 miles through storm-force winds, eight-day whiteouts and temperatures as low as –45C. With reference to her all-extreme experiences, and backed with psychological research, Breathe encompasses tales of bravery, risk and pressure on an epic scale and expertly turns them into valuable lessons that can be applied to more everyday challenges.

Le 5 septembre 1972, la prise d'otages des Jeux olympiques de Munich révèle la montée en puissance d'une nouvelle forme de terrorisme à laquelle les forces de l'ordre ne sont guère préparées. Quelques mois plus tard, le 3 novembre 1973, vingt-cinq gendarmes sélectionnés sur dossier se présentent à Maisons-Alfort pour y passer des épreuves d'un genre nouveau afin d'intégrer le GIGN n°1, une unité d'élite de la gendarmerie que le jeune lieutenant Christian Prouteau a été chargé de mettre en place.
