Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the statues, busts, and memorial plaques of scientists, explorers, medicine men and women, and inventors found in the bustling capital of the United Kingdom, London. The former capital of the British Empire, London remains a world center of trade, navigation, finance and many more. It is also a hub of science, the seat of the Royal Society, Royal Institution, Science Museum, British Museum, Natural History Museum, and of great institutions of higher education. The historical figures depicted in these memorials are responsible for creating great institutions, milestone discoveries, contributions to the scientific and technological revolutions, fighting against epidemics, advancing medicine, and contributing to the progress seen during the past four hundred years. This is a guidebook for the visitor and the Londoner alike. It presents memorials that everybody is familiar with and others that the authors discovered during their years of painstaking research. The 750 images and the text, interlarded with anecdotes, is both informative and entertaining.
Download or read book Around Australia s Coastline written by Herman Odijk and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said about people who travel, that they go all over the world, and then return and look more closely at their “own back yard” – their own country. That applied to us even though we had lived in many parts of NSW, Tasmania, ACT, Queensland – and Herman in PNG. Our Around Australia’s Coastline adventure included extra bonuses – destinations to Papua New Guinea, Lombok (Indonesia) and Norfolk Island all of which are considered our neighbours. We believe that cruising is the best way to see Australia as most capital and provincial cities are on the coastal fringe. They emerged from a Colonial past of mainly convict settlements that could only then be reached by sea – and which also made it easier to control such settlements.The inland was unknown and potentially hostile until our overland and seafaring explorers ventured further to rediscover that which the indigenous population had known for 40,000 years or more. European settlements then followed inland. And, of course there is the love Australians have for the coast and the beaches and want to live near these. Besides, cruising has additiional benefits. You only unpack once, travel in luxury and wait for the destinations to turn up! (Although we do consider each cruise ship to be a different destination in itself.) It gives you time to talk to others who have visited these areas before, time to listen to on-board presentations about each destination – and a few warnings. Time to learn new things and eventually better appreciate those new experiences. Why is there so little text? We thought it only necessary to identify places and other things, give a brief description of each place, as they are far between and each evolved extremely differently. For those who want to know more detail – there is always the Internet. And Herman’s 725+ photographs say it all! They show the beauty of places, reveal the unusual, that which depicts the unique “character of a place”, strange things, amusing things, things that the tourist brochures don’t usually depict, and those things that other people rush past and miss altogether. At each destination we took bus tours around the area and to specific destinations. We also did a lot of walking until this became more difficult, and then we used mobility scooters to great advantage – and yes, you can use them on-board ship and ride them into public buildings /areas, galleries, museums, acquariums etc. provided you have appropriate permission. (We have never been refused.) So, come with us and enjoy the photo-log of our experiences... Herman and Pamela Odijk P.S. Oh – and if you think we left our “cousins from across the ditch” New Zealanders out , well we covered them in our previous book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the story of an epic journey around Australia undertaken by two adventurous British seniors, Michael and Dawn Franklin-Harris. Their inherent love of nature and wildlife, the people, and the vast sweep of natural history, is plainly obvious in this recorded account of travels in this fascinating country. The duration of the tours described in the book covers four months and six months, coinciding with two consecutive English winters. They were to drive close to 20,000 km in the 10 months they were in Australia, covering north to south and east to west, on this large and varied continent. They were told afterwards by many locals that they had seen more of Australia than many Australians would see in their lifetime. Despite their age, their past life and experiences had made them eminently suited to take on and record such a journey. Dawn had left England in late 1963 with her first husband and young family on an assisted passage scheme to arrive in Australia in 1964. They spent eight years moving around following the work, periodically returning to their base in Queensland where they settled for a time before finally returning to the U.K. Her love of the country and its people never left her, and she always longed to return under different circumstances to her first experience. With Michael retired, that opportunity presented itself. Michael had been a Precision Service Engineer, driving on average 35,000 miles per year, both in the U.K. and abroad. Like Dawn, he had a passion for life and new experiences. With his deep interest in literature, he was no stranger to the written word and had published many essays in the U.K., France, and the U.S.A.
