Download or read book Lost Paradise written by Kathy Marks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pitcairn Island -- remote and wild in the South Pacific, a place of towering cliffs and lashing surf -- is home to descendants of Fletcher Christian and the Mutiny on the Bounty crew, who fled there with a group of Tahitian maidens after deposing their captain, William Bligh, and seizing his ship in 1789. Shrouded in myth, the island was idealized by outsiders, who considered it a tropical Shangri-La. But as the world was to discover two centuries after the mutiny, it was also a place of sinister secrets. In this riveting account, Kathy Marks tells the disturbing saga and asks profound questions about human behavior. In 2000, police descended on the British territory -- a lump of volcanic rock hundreds of miles from the nearest inhabited land -- to investigate an allegation of rape of a fifteen-year-old girl. They found themselves speaking to dozens of women and uncovering a trail of child abuse dating back at least three generations. Scarcely a Pitcairn man was untainted by the allegations, it seemed, and barely a girl growing up on the island, home to just forty-seven people, had escaped. Yet most islanders, including the victims' mothers, feigned ignorance or claimed it was South Pacific "culture" -- the Pitcairn "way of life." The ensuing trials would tear the close-knit, interrelated community apart, for every family contained an offender or a victim -- often both. The very future of the island, dependent on its men and their prowess in the longboats, appeared at risk. The islanders were resentful toward British authorities, whom they regarded as colonialists, and the newly arrived newspeople, who asked nettlesome questions and whose daily dispatches were closely scrutinized on the Internet. The court case commanded worldwide attention. And as a succession of men passed through Pitcairn's makeshift courtroom, disturbing questions surfaced. How had the abuse remained hidden so long? Was it inevitable in such a place? Was Pitcairn a real-life Lord of the Flies? One of only six journalists to cover the trials, Marks lived on Pitcairn for six weeks, with the accused men as her neighbors. She depicts, vividly, the attractions and everyday difficulties of living on a remote tropical island. Moreover, outside court, she had daily encounters with the islanders, not all of them civil, and observed firsthand how the tiny, claustrophobic community ticked: the gossip, the feuding, the claustrophobic intimacy -- and the power dynamics that had allowed the abuse to flourish. Marks followed the legal and human saga through to its recent conclusion. She uncovers a society gone badly astray, leaving lives shattered and codes broken: a paradise truly lost.

Book excerpt: Aarav stood at the helm of the small boat, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon. Behind him, his team of experts was preparing for what promised to be the adventure of a lifetime. They were headed to a remote and uncharted island in the Pacific, a place that few people had ever seen, and fewer still had survived. Aarav had been planning this expedition for months. He had studied the maps, the weather patterns, and the indigenous tribes of the Pacific for years, and he knew that this uncharted island held the key to unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of his time. Aarav was a seasoned adventurer and survivalist who had led countless expeditions to some of the most treacherous places on earth, but this one was different. This time, he had assembled a team of experts, each with their area of expertise, to help him uncover the island's secrets. As they approached the island, the team could feel the excitement and anticipation building. The island was shrouded in mist, and it was clear that the terrain would be treacherous. They set up camp on a nearby beach and began to explore the island's interior. Nalini, the botanist, was amazed at the diversity of plant life on the island. She had never seen anything like it before. "This place is a botanist's dream," she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. Vikram, the geologist, was fascinated by the volcanic activity, which seemed to be pulsating just beneath the surface. "This island is a geological marvel," he said, his voice filled with wonder. Devi, the marine biologist, was captivated by the island's underwater ecosystem, which was teeming with life. "I've never seen anything like it," she said, her eyes sparkling with delight. Maya, the photographer, was already capturing images of the island's stunning beauty. She knew that the photographs would be invaluable for their research. As they delved deeper into the island, the team encountered numerous obstacles and challenges. They had to traverse treacherous cliffs, ford-rushing rivers, and fend off dangerous animals. But they were determined to find out what secrets the island held. As they made their way deeper into the island, they came across a hidden cave. Aarav led the team inside, and they found themselves face-to-face with a tribe of indigenous people who had been living on the island for generations. At first, the team was afraid, but they soon realized that the tribe was peaceful and willing to share their knowledge. Aarav spoke with the tribe's leader, and they agreed to exchange information. As the sun began to set, the team made their way back to camp. Aarav knew that they had only scratched the surface of what the island held, but he was excited to continue the expedition and uncover the island's secrets. He gathered his team around him and said, "We've only just begun. There's so much more to discover on this island. Let's keep exploring." The following day, the team set out to explore the rest of the island. They encountered all kinds of terrain, from dense jungle to rocky cliffs. They found more ruins, indicating that the island had once been inhabited by a large civilization. Aarav and his team were ecstatic at the discovery, and they spent hours exploring the ruins and documenting their findings. But as they continued their journey, the sky began to darken. Aarav checked the weather forecast, but there was no mention of a storm in the area. Despite the ominous clouds, they continued their preparations for the night. Nalini and Maya worked on setting up the tents, while Vikram and Devi prepared the scientific equipment. As they worked, they began to see progress. With each day, their project grew bigger and bigger. They were determined to make it the best it could be, pouring their hearts and souls into every detail.

Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.
