At the outset of the Second World War on September 1, 1939, young Aussie diggers are rushed to assist Britain in its hour of need to the nearest European war zone in the Middle East and North Africa. My Uncle Arthur, young Arty is one of these a sapper with 6 years militia training as an army engineer. The ANZAC forces sweep through Libya, from Egypt to Benghazi, defeating superior numbers of heavily armed Italians the first Allied land victory of the war.
Ill-equipped and lacking promised supplies, the ANZACs are then inappropriately redirected from North Africa to Greece to help the Greeks face the overwhelming German advance. Retreating to Crete, Arty is captured in the Battle of Crete and becomes a POW. I am motivated to visit the conflict zones of Gallipoli and to follow my uncles wartime exploits from the time of his capture in June 1941 until his third and final escape from a German work camp in Czechoslovakia in 1945.
Modern day travel makes it possible to visit not only the more recent wartime scenes of Central Europe, but also to visit the sites of classical civilizations to discover the history, art and cultures of the Mediterranean. Accompanying me on my journey is Avril who was born in England and has vivid wartime memories of the conflict from her childhood.

Описание: In 2012, after four decades toiling in the music-business capitals of LA, and Nashville, Rand Bishop returned to his home state of Oregon to be assist his aging parents. Divorced, children grown, Rand was content to keep a low profile, not flaunting his impressive career resume -- Grammy nominee, more than 300 songwriting credits, platinum music producer, hit song publisher, author of four books, award-winning screenwriter, playwright, and magazine columnist. Life for Rand was relatively stress free. Except for one thing... he was finding it more and more difficult to sleep. The growing hyper-partisan animosity had not only created alarming dissonance, our nation found itself in legislative gridlock. Although serious, urgent issues pervaded, nothing was getting done. Rand was already fretting about what kind of world he would leave behind for his grandchildren. Then, the 2016 presidential election came along and America really started turning mean. No longer able to sit by while the U.S.A. transformed into something he no longer recognized, Rand, a lifelong activist for peace, justice, and equality, felt compelled to do something. Finding a role model in a woman known as Peace Pilgrim, Rand's decided course of action was a source of great concern for friends and family. Still, at 67, with sore knees, arthritic feet, limited camping experience, and no knowledge about long-distance hiking, Rand remained undeterred. He began planning and preparing to walk for 90 consecutive days, from Southern California, back home to the Central Oregon Coast, hoping to encourage folks along the way to come out of their echo chambers, abandon the blame game, and engage in more civil, constructive dialogue. On May 1, 2017, Rand returned a rented car in Thousand Oaks, CA, hooked his dog's leash to his belly bag, and began what was destined to become an adventure of a lifetime. Pushing a 90-pound cart christened the Pilgrimmobile, Rand climbed seemingly insurmountable grades, crossed precarious bridges, was confronted by wild animals, angry motorists, and alienation from the persistent assumption that a cart-pushing pedestrian must be homeless. The author's aging body, his fortitude, and his courage were put to their ultimate test. Those factors alone provide this tale with plenty of adventure and drama. But, the true heart of the story beats evocatively in its eclectic cast of characters, the fellow humans serendipity introduced to the pilgrim along the way. Rand describes meeting immigrants, homeless folks, cyclists, fellow hikers, shop keepers, camp hosts, farmers, and anonymous Good Samaritans. People of every age, gender, race, ethnicity, religious faith, political affiliation, vocation, and socio-economic status populate TREK's pages. Although the pilgrim comes face to face with a random bigot or two, gets taunted, threatened, and even spat upon, negative encounters were rare. The vast majority of the people Rand recalls are kind, compassionate, and giving -- even if quite a few of them teeter precariously close to the edge of sanity. Ultimately, the author survives his trek, and the emotional crash of its sore-footed aftermath to sum up his experience this way... "Connecting with 1,000 decent Americans rekindled my faith, not in the power and glory of some invisible God, but in the innate goodness of humankind. The nice, kind, sometimes exceedingly generous people I met along my path replenished the hope I'd lost and so desperately needed to find and feel again. And, without that hope, I don't know if I would still be capable of rising and shining every morning."

The Camino de Santiago has been a holy pilgrimage across northern Spain for more than a thousand years. When retired journalist Mike Gardner began walking from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, in April, 2018, he didn't know if he would make it. The Camino is an extraordinary physical challenge of 800 kilometres, taking pilgrims around five weeks to complete - though the majority fail along the way.
Mike believes he was accompanied on his pilgrimage by powerful, supernatural forces. He made friends from all over the world and, he says, they were touched by the hand of God. He met cocaine addicts, alcoholics, reformed alcoholics, pilgrims with millions of pounds, one walker who was so poor his budget was five euros a day, airline pilots, plumbers and one amazing lady from New Zealand, who overcame a lifetime of mental anguish, in one divine moment.
Mike says he witnessed four miracles, and enjoyed dozens of experiences that were either the result of mystic forces or coincidences that stretch the laws of statistics way, way beyond breaking point. He acquired two sons, three daughters, three sisters and brothers too numerous to put a figure on. His pilgrimage is the essence of everything that is so wonderful about this unique place - there is nowhere like it on Earth.
He originally posted his story every day on the internet, as a blog, where he would record his journey on a mobile phone, late at night, and without notes, exhausted but invigorated and keen to put on record his incredible experiences, while everything was fresh in his mind. It was shared all over the world and by the time he reached Santiago, it was being read by thousands of people. This is his story, updated and improved, with more than 70 photographs - it is entirely truthful, uplifting, poignant and ultimately triumphant.

Автор: Bernard, Theos Название: Penthouse of the gods - a pilgrimage into the heart of tibet and the sacred city of lhasa ISBN: 1443726745 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781443726740 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 66200.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This antiquarian book contains Theos Bernard's 1939 travel book, "Penthouse of the Gods". Within it, Bernard recounts his unprecedented 1937 stay in 'the forbidden holy city' of Lhasa, Tibet. A student of Buddhism and Tantra, he spoke Tibetan, wore Tibetan attire, boarded with a Tibetan nobleman for three months, visited the great monasteries and temples, and met important dignitaries, ambassadors, and officials. This fantastic account is unparalleled in its detail and authenticity, and offers a glimpse into a place and time completely unrecognisable from the Tibet of today. Theos Casimir Bernard (1908 - 1947) was an author and explorer, most famous for his work in the fields of yoga and religious studies; especially Tibetan Buddhism. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Islamic Art in the West Bank and Gaza explores a period during the reigns of the Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman dynasties, when numerous pilgrims and scholars from all quarters of the Muslim world came to Palestine. The great dynasties commissioned architectural and artistic masterpieces in the most important religious centres. Attracting the most learned scholars, many centres enjoyed considerable prestige and encouraged the spread of a rarefied art that still fascinates today. The Islamic monuments and architecture of this Exhibition Trail clearly reflect the connections between dynastic patronage, intellectual activity and the rich expression of people's devotion, rooted in this land for centuries.
Nine itineraries invite you to discover 70 museums, monuments and sites in Jerusalem, Jericho, Nablus, Bethlehem, Hebron and Gaza (among others.)
