Off the Edge of the Map: Marco Polo, Captain Cook, and 9 Other Travelers and Explorers That Pushed the Boundaries of the Known World
Whether it is Rabban Bar Sauma, the 13th-century Chinese monk commissioned by the Mongols to travel West form a military alliance against the Islam; Marco Polo, who opened a window to the East for Europe; or Captain James Cook, whose maritime voyages of discovery created the global economy of the 21st century, each of these explorers had an indelible impact on modern society.

This book will look at the 11 greatest explorers in history. Some traveled for religious piety, such as Ibn Battuta, who travelled from North Africa to Indonesia in the 1300s, visiting every Islamic pilgrimage site between -- and becoming counselor to over 30 heads of state. Others traveled for profit, such as Ferdinand Magellan, who wanted to consolidate Spain's holdings on the spice trade. Others traveled for the sheer thrill of adventure, such as Victorian explorer Richard Francis Burton, who learned 29 languages, went undercover as a Muslim on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and wrote 50 books on topics ranging from a translation of the Kama Sutra to a manual on bayonet exercises. Still others travelled for discovery, such as Ernest Shackleton, who led two dozen men to the bottom of the world in an attempt to cross Antarctica on foot.

Whatever their reason for discovery, these explorers still inspire us today to push the limits of human achievement -- and discover something about ourselves in the process.

Seven Ways to Die

From the Nez Perce Indian reservation in Idaho to New York’s Central Park is a straight line right through Bill Diehl’s last and most intriguing lead character, Micah Cody. 

There are seven basic ways to die. In 1969 Dr. John C. Cavanaugh catalogued them all in his Primer of Forensic Pathology-Cast Studies for the Novice M.E. 

Micah Cody is a 30-something NYPD captain of homicide, who’s founded a special unit known as TAZ with city-wide license to take over any investigation at all, with special focus on serial killers. Now its ultimate challenge is on the loose in Manhattan, with three victims already whose causes of death seem like intentional defiance of TAZ’s existence—and four to go in four deadly days leading up to Halloween. Chronicling it all with great amusement is the Capote-like award-winning crime writer Ward Hamilton who, egged on by his sexually voracious socialite bedmate, is determined to bring TAZ to its knees journalistically. 

Captain Micah Cody's Nez Perce name is “Youngest Wolf” from his ability to communicate with the animals and read nature's signs. As all hell is breaking loose in Manhattan, the wolves in Central Park howl, the peregrine falcons shriek their warnings—and Micah is listening. 

Seven Ways to Die is a non-stop, sexy read with Diehl doing to the end what he did best throughout his bestselling career.

But the signs are there, the old enemy is back, and the Fleet will face its greatest challenge in a foe fifty times their size.

Science fiction in the tradition of Anderson and Weber, where the physics of normal and hyperspace dictate the strategy and tactics.

Can, Preserve, Survive: The Prepper's Guide To Canning, Preserving, and Food And Water Storage

This is a boxset of three best selling books

What do we mean by canning? Canning is a process where we seal food or drinks in jars, then heat them to destroy microorganisms that cause spoilage. It's the same concept that the food industry undertakes to put food, such as soups or vegetables, in cans and sell it to the consumer. With home canning, you are in charge of all the ingredients as well as the taste and quality of your food.

Learning these skills are a must in today's troubled times, and while many of the steps are tedious and time consuming, we're going to focus on the most effective methods to preserve your foods. There are several methods to food preservation that date back hundreds of years. Obviously without refrigerators they had to be creative. One such way, as we've heard in Medieval times, was to cure the meat with salt. But there are various techniques that go back even further in history. And we still use several of these timeless practices today.

Whether you believe that the world is currently a safe place or you believe that the world could end shortly, you should at least have a basic understanding of what to do when a disaster does occur. Many individuals view preppers as conspiracy theorists or slightly delusional, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Preppers are prepared for any type of disaster, ranging from common natural disasters to unlikely large scale events. They're prepared and they understand how to take action in any of these situations. How much you decide to prep is up to you, but having an understanding of this information and being able to utilize these techniques could mean the difference between life and death.

A short walk with the beagle.

We had stopped here a couple weeks ago and noticed a sign by the front gate indicating it was closed for deer hunting. I took this picture on my way out. Same sign. I must have missed it on the way in. There was a group of people and dogs by the front gate when I came in that may have distracted me from seeing it. I don't know if it really was closed. No other cars in the parking lot when I got there. There was no sign at the kiosk and the web site does not mention it. But, I don't think the web site mentioned it was closed a few weeks ago either. Maybe they do not want to publicize the deer hunt.

 I'd email and ask about it but the last time I emailed them resulted in the closing of the horse trail at KCCA to hikers. So, I think I will just let my curiosity remain unsatisfied. Better not to stir up anything. Never know what might happen.

Doppelgänger - A World War II Espionage Thriller

Two men. Spies. An American. A German.

 

The year is 1942. The world is at war.

 

In New York City, the German spy is following Nazi orders, climbing the corporate ladder. He has it all. A loving wife. A good job. A tidy house on Long Island. Everything is perfect. Until one night when his wife discovers his shocking secret. 

 

In Germany, one of the U.S. Army's deadliest commandos parachutes to earth. His mission: wreaking havoc from behind enemy lines. But something goes terribly wrong during his jump, leaving him with a lethal injury and a crucial choice. It's kill or be discovered. He makes the ruthless decision, killing two innocents without hesitation, knowing he'll never be the same again.

 

Two years later, sufficiently chastened, the two men independently claw their way back to relevance. Through meticulous analysis, the American learns of the German's existence. He's a soldier now, wearing the American uniform, murdering senior officers under the cloak of battle.

 

As the parallel plots converge, the American doggedly stalks the German spy. First to Europe. Then to France. The killings intensify. A major. A colonel. A general.

 

The hunt narrows from division, to regiment, to company. It's a hunt for a vicious killer. 

 

It's a hunt for the American's doppelgänger.

Breakers (Book 1)

In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter.

When Vanessa dies of the flu, Walt is devastated. But she isn't the last. The virus quickly kills billions, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. As Raymond and Mia hole up in an abandoned mansion, where they learn to function without electricity, running water, or neighbors, Walt begins an existential walk to LA, where Vanessa had planned to move when she left him. He expects to die along the way.

Months later, a massive vessel appears above Santa Monica Bay. Walt is attacked by a crablike monstrosity in a mountain stream. The virus that ended humanity wasn't created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job--and Earth's survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.

The Becoming

The Michaluk Virus is loose. 

In the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, the Michaluk Virus has escaped the CDC, and its effects are widespread and devastating. Most of the population of the southeastern United States have become homicidal cannibals. As society rapidly crumbles under the hordes of infected, three people—Ethan Bennett, a Memphis police officer; Cade Alton, his best friend and former IDF sharpshooter; and Brandt Evans, a lieutenant in the US Marines—band together against the oncoming crush of death and terror sweeping across the world. 

As Cade, Brandt, and Ethan hole up in a safe house in Tupelo, others begin to join them in their bid for survival. When the infected attack and they’re forced to flee, one departs to Memphis in search of answers while the others escape south to Biloxi, where they encounter more danger than they bargained for. And in Memphis, the answers that one man finds are the last answers he wanted, answers that herald a horrific possibility that there may be more to this virus than first suspected.

The Rosetta Coin

An artifact many have died for. 

An adventure that could change the world. 

In the heart of London’s elite social scene, Madelyn Fox has obtained an ancient artifact that could change humanity’s view of science, religion and mankind. But if she shares her discovery with the wrong person … 

For centuries, the full wealth of the St. Germain family has been behind the protection of a secret so immense, so powerful, not even Solomon St. Germain himself knows the extent of it. 

A descendant of the world’s most famous Egyptologist, Nicholas Alexander Carter doesn’t have to guess what Mady knows—or what she has—because he also possesses a rare piece of this archeological puzzle. 

Mercilessly tracked by a terrifying old enemy, the three unite in an explosive chase through gritty streets, marble estates and underground bastions as their treasure trove of knowledge falters on the edge of disclosure—or destruction.

Star Chase - The Lost Prince
From the Number One Bestselling Author Saxon Andrew comes the first book in his newest series, Star Chase-The Lost Prince. This new series takes place a thousand years in Earth’s future after mankind has moved out into the galaxy. With new Characters and powerful enemies, the series will hook you from the start.

The worlds in the Orion Nebula had been planning rebellion against the Galactic Union for more than a hundred years. Now the rebellion has started with a sneak attack against the Royal Family on Euclid. The planetary defenses were temporarily suppressed and the attack on the Royal Palace killed everyone including half of the invaders. But one member of the Royal Family wasn’t in the palace when the invaders struck. The attackers were forced to flee as the Obelisk began defeating the suppression field and began to come back on line. The attacking transports fled the planet but not before two of them were vaporized. Before they left Euclid, they determined that the Prince was no longer on the planet.

The Nebula knew that if the Prince was to return to Euclid, the main Obelisk would power all the other Obelisks on the worlds of the Union and the rebellion would be over before it began. Only a member of the Royal Family could power the Obelisks and the Nebula knew that the Prince must be found and eliminated.

The Nebula chose their most powerful warrior to find him. There was little chance of the Prince escaping the Dark Officer. He was a High Genetic and possessed unique tracking skills. The only question was how many were going to die before he was successful.

What the Nebula and Union didn’t know was that all of them were at risk of being destroyed and the Prince was the only one that could save them. Would they find out in time? The action is nonstop in Star Chase as the Prince runs to save himself and the Union.

If you've ever wanted to lose those extra inches around your waist quickly, then this is the most important guide you'll ever read...

In the 1950's, an expert researcher named Dr. Simeons noticed that some of his patients were rapidly losing excess weight to a far healthier level due to a certain diet program (which he later named as the "HCG diet") they were going through as a part of their therapy.

Ever since, the HCG diet has helped millions of people shed as much as one pound in a single day... and now, here's your chance to do the same!

Foods to Accelerate Your Weight Loss Results

"HCG Diet"-Friendly Exercises (WARNING: You can't just do any exercises)
And much, much more!
This guide is written by Jennifer Jenkins through her own experience, for busy people who simply don't have the time or energy to figure things out by themselves. After failing multiple times to lose weight with the many (often confusing) diets available, she was at a loss not being able to find a proven diet that works.

This forced her on a two-month long journey as she tried countless methods -- from joining expensive (and intensive) gym programs to starving herself for days.

And all thanks to the techniques shared in this guide, Jennifer's dream of losing 10 pounds safely and naturally was realized... and you can do the same too, no matter your age (or your weight)!

In just minutes from now, you will begin to get rid of your excess weight quickly and permanently, get into shape and start being happy, healthy and sexy.

2014 04 06 Lib Conservation Area - Boone County

Wilma and I set out to hike Distillery Conservation Area but when we got there we found there was some kind of deer slaughter in progress so we went to Lib which is to the south on the other side of the Kishwaukee River. We had a nice walk.

Wind noise.

Woodpecker

I think it is either a downy woodpecker or a hairy woodpecker. They look a lot alike.

Seen at Hononegah Forest Preserve 4-5-14.

Red Winged Blackbird

Seen at Riverside Park in Roscoe, 4-6-14.

Some doves I saw in front of my deck 4-1-14

Looks like a Mourning Dove to me.

Seen 4-1-14 at Rock Cut State Park sitting out on Pierce Lake by the dam

Not sure what he is. Looks something like one of the pictures of Thayer's Gull, but I am not sure that particular bird would be around here based on the map the link has. Appears to be some kind of gull, but I am a rank amateur at bird identification.

2014 04 05 Rock Cut State Park Olson Annex

Wilma and I had a nice walk in the dog training section of the park. We met a number of friendly unleashed dogs while we were there. Wilma was a bit offended that she was on a leash because she wanted to play chase with them.

I got some video [6:35] of what might be a great blue heron on the other side of the lake. Hard to tell for sure. Just too far away.

Organic Gardening: 7 Easy Steps to Freedom, Fun, and Fantastic Health By Growing Your Own Organic Food

What if you could turn your body into a dynamo of energy, giving you extreme focus and never having to worry about going to the doctor for dangerous drugs all because you made a once-in-a-lifetime decision to something that would not only change you but the world? What if I told you, that you could this valuable information for less than a Venti Sized Vanilla latte at Starbucks®? Well, now you can with this super exciting book which contains proven steps and strategies on how to prepare for the perfect organic gardening environment.

Organic Gardening:7 Easy Steps to Freedom, Fun, and Fantastic Health By Growing Your Own Organic Food is one of the most popular gardening titles on the market today. Everything is laid out in natural fashion so that you can completely change your life for the better, describing preparing your garden to how to treat your compost for maximum growth and how you can instantly benefit from all of these amazing tips for fast organic gardening success. 

So What is Organic Gardening? What’s All The Big Hub Bub?

You may be wondering just what Organic Gardening is, and how it is different from ‘ordinary’ gardening. Well, let me tell you a secret: Organic Gardening means traditional gardening, good, wholesome practices and principles that your parents and grandparents used (and further back a whole lot longer than that). It means knowing your ground and your space, and using it to its fullest potential, and not making yourself ill with unnatural toxins or forcing your plants to do things they don’t want to do. What many people don’t realize is that a lot of ‘ordinary’ gardening can be dangerous, for both ourselves and our children’s long-term health, as well as for wildlife and biodiversity. If we just take care to choose the right plants, to enrich our soils naturally, with methods that have been in use ever since the human hand first turned the soil, then we can actually make ourselves and our neighborhoods healthier, richer and certainly more beautiful.

Gluten Free Slow Cooker Recipes: 50 Delicious Crock Pot Recipes for the Gluten Free Diet (Gluten Free Diet, Slow Cooker Recipes, Cookbook, Crock Pot Recipes)
Slow cooking is a way to make cooking easier and more convenient, because you need to do very little yourself. It is the slow cooker that does most of the work.

Following a gluten diet can be demanding and cooking with a gluten allergy mind can take a lot of time. The gluten free slow cooker recipes in this book are different and save time. After a few simple preparations, the slow cooker does all the work. In fact, all of the dishes in this book are easily prepared in 30 minutes or less.

In my book, Gluten Free Slow Cooker Recipes, you will find recipes that have high nutritional value and use many healthy ingredients. I encourage the use of coconut oil and other coconut products in my recipes. Coconuts are among the best foods in the world and have a wide range of health benefits that I have studied for years. If coconut ingredients are not yet part of your diet, you will find many recipes for it inside.

PLAZA: An Archaeological Thriller
THEIR FIRST MISTAKE was ever telling the world about the wonders they had found.

They should have kept it all a secret. If they’d kept it a secret, fewer people would have died. When archaeologists uncover the largest ancient safe in the world, the wrong kinds of people will show up: criminals, mercenaries, treasure hunters.

THEIR SECOND MISTAKE was opening it.

Why would an ancient culture devote three generations to build a giant stone safe? Why would they bury it so the jungle could hide it from the world? Why ritually sacrifice one hundred thousand people to ensure its secrecy?

THEIR LAST MISTAKE proved the biggest.

This last mistake hurt the most. Their last mistake was to assume that nothing had been left behind to keep guard.

Alive and Killing (A David Wolf Novel)
Just for a day, Colorado cop David Wolf trades slogging through murky meltwaters and even murkier small-town politics for an overnight camping trip in the wilderness with his son.

But when a man with fresh burns turns up on their trail, falling from the heavy load in his backpack and running wild from something, Wolf suspects his father-son camping trip may have just taken a turn for the worse.

Unfortunately his instincts are spot on, and Wolf is forced into action with the last person he wants by his side in a deadly battle — his only son.

When news of their disturbing episode travels through the valleys, local FBI agents want to take over Wolf's investigation, hoping to halt murder and corruption originating 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan. Wolf ignores the FBI's order to stand down, even if the case involves a matter of national security. Not when his son's safety is at stake.

In this stomach-dropping, action and suspense packed third installment of the David Wolf series, Wolf partners with a beautiful FBI agent to bust an inter-continental conspiracy threatening anyone who has the bad enough luck to stumble on it.
