Silence In the Age of Noise by Erling Kagge, 2017

What is silence?

Where can it be found?

Why is it now more important than ever?

In 1993, Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge spent fifty days walking solo across Antarctica, becoming the first person to reach the South Pole alone, accompanied only by a radio whose batteries he had removed before setting out.

In this book. an astonishing and transformative meditation, Kagge explores the silence around us, the silence within us, and the silence we must create. By recounting his own experiences and discussing the observations of poets, artists, and explorers, Kagge shows us why silence is essential to sanity and happiness—and how it can open doors to wonder and gratitude.

Portugal's discovery of a sea route to India, campaign of imperial conquest over Muslim rulers, and domination of the spice trade would forever disrupt the Mediterranean and build the first global economy.

Crowley relies on letters and eyewitness testimony to tell the story of tiny Portugal's rapid and breathtaking rise to power. Conquerors reveals the Império Português in all of its splendor and ferocity,

The untamed wild, where survival tastes of glory and grief.

We would have reason to believe that it has emerged on many of the hundreds of billions of planets that exist in our galaxy alone.…

#Perseverance is among the latest in a lineage of interplanetary robotic #explorers that #NASA has built across almost 60 years, for about $60 billion. That’s less than what Zuckerberg spent on his struggling metaverse.

Amundsen #OnThis Day

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://theorkneynews.scot/2025/12/14/amundsen-onthis-day/

In #Explorers, Lockwood doesn’t simply deconstruct #myths—he rebuilds the story of exploration as a deeply human, often painful, and undeniably fascinating process. The result is an eye-opening meditation on empire, cultural exchange, ambition, and the moral price of curiosity. #BookReview #History #Colonisation #Indigenous #Adventure #NonFiction

Explorers: A New History by Matthew Lockwood, 2024

Unfurling a tapestry of surprising and historically overlooked figures spanning forty centuries and six continents, historian Matthew Lockwood narrates lives filled with imagination and wonder, curiosity, connection, and exchange.

#books
#nonfiction
#history
#exploration
#explorers

Familiar icons of exploration like Pocahontas, Columbus, Sacagawea, and Captain Cook find new company in the untold stories of people usually denied the title "explorers," including immigrants, indigenous interpreters, local guides, and fugitive slaves. He highlights female voyagers like Gudrid Far-Traveler and Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Viking women who sailed to North America in 1000 AD, and Mary Wortley Montagu, whose pioneering travels to Constantinople would lead to the development of the world's first smallpox vaccine. Figures like Ghulam Rassul Galwan, a guide for European travelers in the Himalayas, reveal the hidden labor, expertise, and local enthusiasm behind many grand stories of discovery. Other characters, like David Dorr, a man born into slavery in New Orleans who embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe and Egypt, embody discovery and wonder as universal parts of the human condition. As Lockwood makes clear, people of every background imagine new worlds. Adventurers from every corner of the globe search for the unknown and try to understand it, remaking the world and themselves in the process. Exploration is for everyone who sets off into the unknown. It is the inheritance of all.

Had a fantastic time at #AJ25 this week. Around 1200 young people from across the world, enjoying adventure and developing #skillsForLife together. Storm #Floris made things challenging, but they were absolute heroes throughout. We met other groups & made new friends from Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Wales, England, Denmark, Northern Ireland, as well as plenty of other #Scottish groups. #volunteer #Auchengillan #glasgow #AJ100
