The Great Journeys in History by Robin Hanbury-Tenison Pdf

Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, David Livingstone, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong: these are some of the greatest travellers of all time. This book chronicles their stories and many more, describing epic voyages of discovery from the extraordinary migrations out of Africa by our earliest ancestors to the latest voyages into space. In antiquity, we follow Alexander the Great to the Indus and Hannibal across the Alps; in medieval times we trek beside Genghis Khan and Ibn Battuta. The Renaissance brought Columbus to the Americas and the circumnavigation of the world. The following centuries saw gaps in the global maps filled by Tasman, Bering and Cook, and journeys made for scientific purposes, most famously by von Humboldt and Darwin. In modern times, the last inhospitable ends of the earth were reached including both poles and the world's highest mountain and new elements were conquered. With evocative photographs, paintings and portraits, The Great Journeys in History reveals the stories of those who were there first, who explored the unexplored and who set out into the unknown, bringing alive the romance and thrill of travel.

When Journey Becomes the Goal by Mohit Tomar Pdf

The journey of life is essentially a leadership endeavor that is full of adventure, aspirations, and uncertainties. To complete this journey successfully, it is imperative to understand and utilize the principles of life. If we apply these principles and insights, we may live a life of peace, productivity, and prosperity. In our schools and colleges, we study different subjects, but ironically, no school teaches us about life. It is essential to understand who we are and what are we here for. An awareness of our relationship with self and our world can help us to understand which forces of nature work for and against us and how we can use them to our advantage. Written by Mohit Tomar, a leadership trainer, When Journey Becomes the Goal provides a clear understanding of the fundamentals of life and how personal leadership can enable us to live on a higher plane.
