![]() Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage. Alexander Macklin, one of the ship's surgeons, who provided Lansing with many diaries, a detailed account of the perilous journey the crew made to Elephant Island, and months of advice. The most significant contribution came from Dr. Virtually every diary kept during the expedition was made available to the author, and almost all the surviving members at the time of writing submitted to lengthy interviews. ![]() ![]() Three months later, he was finally able to rescue the remaining crew members they had left behind on Elephant Island. He then took two of those men on the first successful overland crossing of the island. ![]() Shackleton then led a crew of five aboard the James Caird through the Drake Passage, and miraculously reached South Georgia Island 650 nautical miles away. They were able to launch their boats and somehow managed to land them safely on Elephant Island. All in all, the crew drifted on the ice for just over a year. The ship was beset and eventually crushed by ice floes in the Weddell Sea, leaving the men stranded on the pack ice. The book details the almost two-year struggle for survival endured by the twenty-eight man crew of the ship Endurance. ![]() Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, is a 1959 book written by Alfred Lansing, about the failure of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, in its attempt to cross the Antarctic continent in 1914. ![]() ![]() When Leo visits Stillwater, wishing to play good-guy–bad-guy robots with him, Stillwater shows rather than tells what a bad guy is (by hogging all the cookies)-a graceful reminder to readers that no one is immune to selfishness. The Zen story is encapsulated within the bigger story, set off by brushed-ink illustrations and ivory paper. In this book, filled with light-infused watercolors of uplifting hues, Stillwater teaches Molly, a dancer, the value of patience with his story of Banzo’s sword. Readers of Muth’s earlier books will be familiar with Stillwater’s serene grace as he delivers messages of life’s essence to young friends. ![]() Stillwater, the wise panda from Muth’s Zen picture books is back.īrother and sister Leo and Molly and their cat, Moss, have moved to a new neighborhood and find that their neighbor is a giant panda named Stillwater. ![]() ![]() ![]() Over the next five days, Henry will learn some of life's most valuable lessons: how to throw a baseball, the secret to perfect piecrust, the breathless pain of jealousy, the power of betrayal, and the importance of putting others-especially those we love-above ourselves. ![]() ![]() But all that changes on the Thursday before Labor Day, when a mysterious bleeding man named Frank approaches Henry and asks for a hand. Adele has a secret that makes it hard for her to leave their house, and seems to possess an irreparably broken heart. For company Henry has his long-divorced mother, Adele - a onetime dancer whose summer project was to teach him how to foxtrot his hamster, Joe and awkward Saturday-night outings to Friendly's with his estranged father and new stepfamily.Īs much as he tries, Henry knows that even with his jokes and his "Husband for a Day" coupon, he still can't make his emotionally fragile mother happy. With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend looming in the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, thirteen-year-old Henry - lonely, friendless, not too good at sports - spends most of his time watching television, reading, and daydreaming about the soft skin and budding bodies of his female classmates. ![]() ![]() ![]() You won't regret reading this book from front to back! ![]() As I read the book, I just tried to ignore the whole habits thing and focus on the true principles contained in this book, which there are many pearls of wisdom. I'd rather focus on the true principles than worrying about habits and names for those habits. It's just a different way of looking at true principles. What were those habits again?" Also, the 7 habits framework is nothing special. He says things like "Using habits 1, 2, and 3." and you're like, "wait. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to proactively shape their family life for the better.Ī few points for improvement: The whole 7 habits framework gets very confusing. This book not only describes the principles of creating a happy family culture, but it also shows you what that looks like through personal experiences both of random people and Covey family members, which was extremely enlightening. I've also had friends or acquaintances who seem to have the kind of family I want, but there is only so much you can learn about another family. My family was awesome growing up, but there were many things that I felt could be better, and this book helped me clarify what that "better" is. ![]() ![]() Reading this book is like looking through a window into the life of a very happy family, the kind of family that I want my growing family (2 kids so far) to become. ![]() ![]() ![]() It credits 42 and 50 interior illustrations (the original sets) by John Tenniel (not "Sir"), which this record follows.

Clariel soon becomes a pawn in the political machinations of both her mother and the ambitious guildmaster Kilp, who controls the capital city, Belisaere.

The result is post after post comparing every kind of white paint out there. I dare you to go on Pinterest and search “White Paint Colors”. Then I read some articles on comparing different shades of paint. I scan for comments so I have a good idea of how cool or warm a certain color will look.
