Author: Joanna Kafarowski
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459739728
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
The first comprehensive biography of Louise Arner Boyd — the intrepid American socialite who reinvented herself as the leading female polar explorer of the twentieth century. Born in the late 1880s to a gritty mining magnate who made his millions in the California gold rush and a well-bred mother descended from one of New York’s distinguished families, society beauty Louise Arner Boyd was raised during a glittering era. After inheriting a staggering family fortune, she began leading a double life. She fell under the spell of the north in the late 1920s after a sailing excursion to the Arctic Ocean. Over the next three decades, she achieved international notoriety as a rugged and audacious polar explorer while maintaining her flamboyant lifestyle as a leading society woman. Yet despite organizing, financing, and directing seven daring Arctic expeditions between 1926 and 1955, she is virtually unknown today.

Adventures of a Soul:
Author: Anne Newgarden
Publisher: Star Garden Press
ISBN: 1736536915
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
How the Paranormal Became Her New Normal “. . . I don’t normally talk about this to my clients. But I’ll talk about it to you, because you’re going to be writing about people who do what I do. And about what are called ‘the invisible realms’ . . .” Hearing those words during her first-ever psychic reading, Anne Newgarden had no idea how true they would one day prove to be. As a child, Anne had a deep “wonder-lust” about psychics, ESP, Ouija boards, séances, and all things metaphysical. Even as an adult, struggling to forge a career as a writer and endlessly searching for love, Anne maintained a keen curiosity about the paranormal. But it wasn’t until later in life, after suffering through a painful breakup and the death of a friend, that Anne’s wonder-lust fully ignited, and she embarked on a series of adventures, exploring the mystical and unexplained. In Adventures of a Soul: Psychics, Mediums, the Mystical, and Me, Anne takes readers along on a wild ride as she searches for the truth about psychics and mediums, reincarnation and soul mates, angels and spirit guides—and for true love. You’ll get an inside view as she meets with top psychics for in-depth readings; witnesses a friend’s struggle with newfound medium abilities; converses with the dead; discovers past lives; develops startling intuitive abilities; communicates with angels and spirit guides; and finds a soul mate who curls her toes and heals her heart. Honest, poignant, funny, and unique, Adventures of a Soul is part memoir, part self-help book, and part New Age guidebook. It is the inspiring story of one woman’s mind-blowing adventures that radically transformed her worldview and her life. If you’ve ever been curious about the paranormal, wondered what a psychic or medium reading is really like, pondered life after death (or lives before this one), or felt there might be more to reality than what meets the eye, this book is for you. Reading it might just make the paranormal your new normal too!

VULCAN'S PEAK (Adventure Novel)
Author: James Fenimore Cooper
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN: 8075832469
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
From merely surviving the loss of his shipmates and the embayment of his ship within The Reef, protagonist and role-model Mark Woolston goes on to thrive by his own industry. Following a regional volcanic upheaval which raises new land, he founds a similarly industrious and thriving colony after escaping from, then returning to, The Reef. The outnumbered colonists must defend their new homes and possessions against natives who covet the new land. James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Before embarking on his career as a writer, Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.
