About this deal

Now, to the dogs: Scott took dogs on the Discovery having taken Nansen's advice, and their diet of fish was also recommended by Nansen (not Scott). The one thing I will take away is the absolute propaganda and downright myths schools peddle in the name of history, happily leaving out the uncomfortable facts about empire, colonialism and conquest. Join Susan Cain, an international best-selling author on the power of introverts who will help you tune out all of your everyday stresses and conflicts and tune into living a Quiet Life. This particular story only comes from Albert Armitage, who wasn't present at the time, and grew angry at Scott for trying to send him home on the relief ship Morning, to avoid a scandal at home. The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring.

Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. Over the past few years, Brianna Wiest has gained renown for her deeply moving, philosophical writing. Now I see things from an holistic point of view and am not so easily led by what many want us to believe in a simplistic overly positive view of our history. His blog ‘The Pinprick’ covers history and politics, he’s also written two books on these same subjects.Plan Like a Millionaire is part of a riveting three-part series, and it's all about elevating your game and setting goals like a seven-figure earner.

In perusing the jacket or sub-title of “Fake Heroes”, you might be under the impression that this book largely consists of the author relentlessly taking a machine gun to slaughter a series of sacred cows.According to the late great Wally Herbert, it takes a person around two years to become competent at running dogs, Scott had no chance of managing this, whereas the Norwegians would have been running dog teams for years, due to, y'know, living in the Arctic. These essays sometimes show our heroes to be fallible human beings (like my boyhood hero Captain Scott) but sometimes we’re left with an impression of someone so warped (like Mother Theresa) that you wonder if…well, you know what, I’ll let you listen and decide for yourself.

Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. We are not told that the reason Scott needed to get himself promoted as quickly as possible was due to becoming financially responsible for his mother and numerous sisters, after his father died leaving bad debts resulting in the family becoming destitute.Wesley Autrey was a 52-year-old construction worker in New York and in January 2007, he was taking his two younger daughters across New York to their mother's house before he went on to work. In this wealth-inspiring listening journey, Rachel reveals the secrets of how to set goals, manage time wisely, build essential support systems, break free from financial constraints, and make savvy money decisions. And the train passed, I think, within an inch over the top of their heads and saved this guy's life.

I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms.If it was a 'myth' that the Terra Nova expedition was foremost a scientific endeavour, it's unlikely that the men would have bothered to stop to collect rock samples on their way back from the pole. Of course, this is speaking very generally, and many of these individuals have genuine talent, but the pattern is definitely there. It‘s a witty eye opener, proving that the history we take for granted is propaganda through the ages.
