Download or read book Following Nellie Bly written by Rosemary J. Brown and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of one of the great pioneering women adventures of the 19th century. Intrepid journalist Nellie Bly raced through a ‘man’s world’ — alone and literally with just the clothes on her back — to beat the fictional record set by Jules Verne’s Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days. She won the race on 25 January 1890, covering 21,740 miles by ocean liner and train in 72 days, and became a global celebrity. Although best known for her record-breaking journey, even more importantly Nellie Bly pioneered investigative journalism and paved the way for women in the newsroom. Her undercover reporting, advocacy for women's rights, crusades for vulnerable children, campaigns against oppression and steadfast conviction that 'nothing is impossible' makes the world that she circled a better place. Adventurer, journalist and author, Rosemary J Brown, set off 125 years later to retrace Nellie Bly’s footsteps in an expedition registered with the Royal Geographical Society. Through her recreation of that epic global journey, she brings to life Nellie Bly’s remarkable achievements and shines a light on one of the world's greatest female adventurers and a forgotten heroine of history.

Download or read book LEAF TWO AND BUD ONE written by RAJARSHI DUTTA and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, there is a region popularly known as Dooars in northern West Bengal. Apart from its magnificent scenic beauty, the soil of Dooars still nurtures Tea—a world-famous beverage. The tea industry of Dooars is an excellent source of livelihood for many common people. Unfortunately, for over a decade, the tea industry there has been suffocated and encircled by many constraints. The book talks about five such dilemmas narrated through five separate short stories. Each of the characters is either from the working class or those who are closely associated with the tea garden. It gives a glimpse of their day-to-day struggle, individual aspirations, addiction, anxiety, changes in behaviour due to circumstances, mass exploitation, patience and depression. It deals with the social stigma that strongly exists in tea gardens and man-made problems. As most of the gardens are in remote areas and the scope of mixing with garden dwellers is missing, many things are not accessible and somewhat intangible to outsiders. The book provides a new perspective and fresh ideas about how life is in the tea gardens.
