Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey to the centre of the earth is a voyage like no other we can imagine. Over 3,000 km below the earth's surface an extraordinary inner world the size of Mars awaits us. Dive through the molten iron of the outer core and eventually you will reach a solid sphere - an iron-clad world held within a metal sea and unattached to anything above. At the earth's core is the history of our planet written in temperature and pressure, crystals and minerals . . . Our planet appears tranquil from outer space. And yet the arcs of volcanoes, the earthquake zones and the auroral glow rippling above our heads are testimony to something remarkable happening inside . . . For thousands of years these phenomena were explained in legend and myth. Only in recent times has the brave new science of seismology emerged. One hundred and fifty years after the extraordinary, imaginative feat of Jules Verne's JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH, David Whitehouse embarks on a voyage of scientific discovery into the heart of our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne's classic, Journey to the Center of the Earth, written in 1864, has been hailed as both an inspiring work of science fiction as well as an entertaining, action-adventure story that has delighted readers for over 150 years.The story centers on three men: German professor Otto Lidenbrock, a respected mineralogist; Axel Lidenbrock, Otto's orphaned nephew; and Hans Bjelke, an Icelandic duck hunter who speaks Danish, and their adventures as they seek a hidden passage they believe will take them to the center of the Earth.The story begins with Otto discovering a coded note hidden within the pages of a recently purchased runic manuscript. The manuscript is an Icelandic tale called, "Heimskringla." Otto translates the bizarre code into Latin letters, but they make no sense. He locks himself, Axel, and their maid in the house, refusing to let anyone out until he is able to decipher the code. But it is Axel, fanning himself with the message, who discovers that the letters create Latin sentences if read backward. Fearing what Otto will do with the information, Axel keeps the answer a secret, but after two days of being locked in, he gives in and tells Otto what he has discovered. Translating the Latin, Otto learns that the note is written by an Icelandic alchemist named Arne Saknussemm, and it claims to show the location of a secret passage that leads to the center of the Earth.As soon as Otto decodes the message and learns that the entrance lies at the bottom of a dormant volcano in Iceland, he decides to leave immediately for Reykjavik. Axel, who is more patient and less adventurous than his uncle, tries to talk him out of it by pointing out all of the known scientific reasons this passage could not possibly exist.At this point, Otto's ward (and Axel's sweetheart) Gräuben steps in and convinces Axel to go with his uncle. She feels that Axel lacks maturity and believes this adventure will make him a man. She promises that if he goes she will marry him when he comes back. The two men then set off for Iceland where they meet and hire Hans to be their guide.With the aid of both Hans and the Saknussemm document, Otto and Axel are able to locate the right volcano and climb up and into it. At the bottom of the volcano, they find a series of tunnels and manage to find the correct tunnel described by Saknussemm. They follow the tunnel downward for several days until their water supply runs out. In desperation, Hans digs a whole through the tunnel wall and finds an underground river. After replenishing their water supply, they follow the river down even further until it opens up into a massive cave so large that they cannot see the other side.
