Sir Peter Scott had a truly incredible life. He was the only son of legendary explorer Captain Scott. His godfather was J. M. Barrie, and he was married to Elizabeth Jane Howard. He also represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland at sailing in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal. He founded the Wildfoul and Wetlands Trust and also helped to found the Worldwide Fund for Nature. This is a beautiful and timely re-discovered book, perfect for those who are interested in preserving our planet.

Part memoir, part travelogue, this is the story of one woman's six years as an outsider in a reindeer-herding village in the Arctic Tundra, forging a life on her own in one of the most unknowable cultures on earth. An ancestry test suggesting she shared some DNA with the Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic tundra, tapped into Laura Galloway's wanderlust; an affair with a Sámi reindeer herder ultimately led her to leave New York for the tiny town of Kautokeino, Norway.

Georg Forster war gerade einmal 17 Jahre alt, als er an der zweiten Weltumseglung von James Cook teilnehmen durfte. Er war aber auch kein gewöhnlicher Jugendlicher. Schon mit 13 machte er sich als Autor und Übersetzer einen Namen – selbst Goethe bewunderte Sprache und Erkenntnisschärfe des jungen Schriftstellers, der später auch noch Naturforscher und Revolutionär wurde. Frank Arnold liest aus Georg Forsters 1777 publiziertem Werk "Reise um die Welt", auf der er Eisberge mit den eigenen Händen berührte oder sich am Strand von Tahiti für die Bewohner der Südsee begeisterte.

Far from being at the margins of national interests, the coast has been at the heart of the British people's most important endeavours and central to era-defining national events. From artifacts lost by hunter-gatherers in a land beneath the sea to bustling medieval ports, smugglers' caves, early seaside resorts, fortifications and secret bases, the coast is resplendent with fascinating history to explore and enjoy.
