Book Description
Papua New Guinea is indeed the land of mystery. It is a land of natural wilderness, breathtaking landscapes, lost cultures, unexpected tropical jungles, and high mountains, many networks of rivers and fascinating flora and fauna. But what's more mysterious is the people, who are richer in their culture than any other county in the world. This is because they speak 800 different languages; thus, they have 800 unique cultures. Tribal Warriors at the Last Frontier is a true story of a very small tribe known as the Jika Mukuka tribe in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea. The story takes us back a few hundred years before the discovery of the Hagen people by the first white men (the Leahy brothers; Michael and Danny) from Australia. The origin of the Jika Mukuka tribe and the events that the Jika Mukukas went through. The Jika Mukuka tribe survived through a turbulent period of tribal warfare, forced out of their homeland to seek refuge all over the land of different tribes in the Hagen society. Almost 90 percent of their tribesmen were killed by an enemy ten times their size but few of those brave warriors sought refuge at Kuta, the mine site of Danny Leahy. The Jika Mukukas came to learn the new ways of the white man, which were both weird, funny, and confusing. After seven years of exile, the last surviving 29 men returned to their homeland and rebuilt the tribe of Jika Mukuka. The small Jika Mukuka tribe was the last to resettle among thousands of tribes but was richly blessed by producing two powerful men in Papua New Guinea, who were Pena Ou, the first national member for Hagen, and Paias Wingti, former three time Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea and Governor for Western Highlands.

Book Description
In 1931 Grey Owl published his first book, The Men of the Last Frontier, a work that is part memoir, part history of the vanishing wilderness in Canada, and part compendium of animal and First Nations tales and lore. A passionate, compelling appeal for the protection and preservation of the natural environment pervades Grey Owls words and makes his literary debut still ring with great relevance in the 21st century. By the 1920s, Canadas outposts of adventure had been thrust farther and farther north to the remote margins of the country. Lumbermen, miners, and trappers invaded the primeval forests, seizing on natures wealth with soulless efficiency. Grey Owl himself fled before the assault as he witnessed his valleys polluted with sawmills, his hills dug up for hidden treasure, and wildlife, particularly his beloved beavers, exterminated for quick fortunes.

Book Description
Published in 1971, Georgia's Last Frontier presents the history of one of the state's least developed regions. During the 1830s, Carroll County was a large part of Georgia's most rugged frontier. James C. Bonner examines how life in this isolated region was complicated by the presence of Native Americans, cattle rustlers, and horse thieves. He details how the discovery of gold in the Villa Rica area resulted in drunkenness and violence, but also laid the foundations of mining technology that were later used in Colorado and California. The region remained isolated until after the Civil War, when a rail line was constructed to stimulate cotton cultivation. With the development of the railway, Carroll County's frontier traditions waned in the early twentieth century.

Book Description
Knowledge of the afterlife can trigger dazzling transformations in body, mind, and spirit. It unleashes our authentic selves, radically resets our values, and deepens our sense of life purpose. From it we discover that the real nature of the universe is the very essence of benevolence. In this comprehensive work, Julia Assante probes what happens when we die, approaching with scholarly precision historical and religious accounts, near-death experiences, and after-death communication. She then presents convincing evidence of discarnate existence and communication with the dead and offers practical ways to make contact with departed loved ones to heal and overcome guilt, fear, and grief.

Book Description
In this acclaimed book, Alistair Moffat tells the story of a part of Scotland that has played a huge role in the nation's history and moved poets, painters and writers as well as ordinary people for hundreds of years. The hunter-gatherers who first penetrated the virgin interior, the Celtic warlords, the Romans, the Northumbrians and the Reivers, who dominated the Anglo-Scottish borderlands for over 300 years, have all had their part to play in the constantly evolving life of the area. It is the people of a place that make its history and Alistair Moffat's book is a testament to those who have made the Borders their home, and who have created the traditions, myths and romance that define it so strongly.
