Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After two months of streaking through space, the spaceship Newton is finally closing in on the Red Planet. Experienced spacefarers, as well as complete novices, make up a diverse crew who have boldly chosen to trust the newly developed fusion vehicle with their very lives. Newton’s trek from Earth to Mars is making history, cutting travel time in half, carrying the largest crew ever, and bringing the first tourists to a newly constructed Martian hotel. Return to Terra Nova—Seeking Forgiveness explores the fact that all humans have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, no matter where they go. Mars presents new challenges that will test even the bravest souls. Within the theme of forgiveness, Ritchie writes a novel of realistic science, interspersed with excitement and adventure. As her characters explore, problem solve, and develop relationships, they face life and death circumstances that testify to the fact that the God of the universe is with them. Volume 2 of the Return to Terra Nova trilogy will be enjoyed by all readers, as they are introduced to the courageous and resilient pioneers who are carving out a new way of life on the Red Planet frontier. Recommendations Thelma Ritchie once again combines a lifetime of wit and wisdom with cutting-edge technology to spin a fun futuristic tale. Ritchie’s scientific vision stirs the imagination, while her characters draw you in to the human drama of thrills and struggles of life on the frontier. In a world needing faith over fear, Return to Terra Nova is fuel for the soul. —Adam Richardson, PhD Lead Pastor, Church at Sandhurst I love Thelma Ritchie’s books. They are full of life lessons and science and excitement. The reality of living a life following Christ is presented honestly. God’s truths are not compromised by science but are verified as the characters come to Him. —Diane Quagliana, Retired Virology Research Technician, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Microbiology Children’s Leader, Bible Study Fellowship I was trying to read it slowly but then ended up immersed in the characters and story, and just sat and read and read and read. —Diana Low, Retired Educator, Mercer Island School District During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself not being able to put this book down. I found solace in reading Return to Terra Nova while my life shifted dramatically. The scripture is interwoven throughout reminding me of God’s promises. It explores the complexity of human relationships while set in a true-to-life scientific background. The setting on Mars incorporates many basic scientific principles such as horticulture as a source of both food and oxygen for the settlement. As a science educator, who is also a Christian, I highly recommend this book for all ages. —Susan Shelton, Middle School Science Teacher, Columbia School District These books are exactly what I was looking for when my kids were younger, as they are well written, enjoyable to read, and educational with a Christian message. —Colleen Broaddus, Former Trustee, The Bear Creek School Group Leader, Bible Study Fellowship

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SS Terra Nova was most famous for being the vessel to carry the ill-fated 1910 polar expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott, but the story of this memorable ship, built in wood to enable flexibility in the ice, continued until 1943, when she sank off Greenland. This newly designed and updated edition presents the definitive illustrated account of one of the classic polar exploration ships of the 'heroic age'. Put together from accounts recorded by the men who sailed in her, it tells the sixty-year history of a ship built by a famous Scottish shipbuilding yard, in the nineteenth-century days of whaling and sealing before coal gas and electricity replaced animal oils.

Book excerpt: As of December 2012, Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) in Iraq have resulted in the deployment of about 2.2 million troops; there have been 2,222 US fatalities in OEF and Operation New Dawn (OND)1 and 4,422 in OIF. The numbers of wounded US troops exceed 16,000 in Afghanistan and 32,000 in Iraq. In addition to deaths and morbidity, the operations have unforeseen consequences that are yet to be fully understood. In contrast with previous conflicts, the all-volunteer military has experienced numerous deployments of individual service members; has seen increased deployments of women, parents of young children, and reserve and National Guard troops; and in some cases has been subject to longer deployments and shorter times at home between deployments. Numerous reports in the popular press have made the public aware of issues that have pointed to the difficulty of military personnel in readjusting after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of those who have served in OEF and OIF readjust with few difficulties, but others have problems in readjusting to home, reconnecting with family members, finding employment, and returning to school. In response to the return of large numbers of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan with physical-health and mental-health problems and to the growing readjustment needs of active duty service members, veterans, and their family members, Congress included Section 1661 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008. That section required the secretary of defense, in consultation with the secretary of veterans affairs, to enter into an agreement with the National Academies for a study of the physical-health, mental-health, and other readjustment needs of members and former members of the armed forces who were deployed in OIF or OEF, their families, and their communities as a result of such deployment. The study consisted of two phases. The Phase 1 task was to conduct a preliminary assessment. The Phase 2 task was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the physical, psychologic, social, and economic effects of deployment on and identification of gaps in care for members and former members, their families, and their communities. The Phase 1 report was completed in March 2010 and delivered to the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the relevant committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The secretaries of DOD and VA responded to the Phase 1 report in September 2010. Returning Home from Iraq and Afghanistan: Assessment of Readjustment Needs of Veterans, Service Members, and Their Families fulfills the requirement for Phase 2.

Book excerpt: Through the eyes of the men involved, Meredith Hooper recounts one of the greatest tales of adventure and endurance, which has often been overshadowed by the tragedy that befell Scott.?? Their tents were torn, their food was nearly finished, and the ship had failed to pick up the members of Scott's Northern Party as planned. Gale–force winds blew, bitter with the cold of approaching winter. Stranded and desperate, Lieutenant Victor Campbell and his five companions faced disaster. They burrowed inside a snowdrift, digging an ice cave with no room to stand upright, but space for six sleeping bags on the floor—the three officers on one side, the three seamen on the other. Circumstances forced them closer together, their roles blurred, and a shared sense of reality emerged. This mutual suffering made them indivisible and somehow they made it through the longest winter.?? To the south, the men waiting at headquarters knew that Scott and his Polar party must be dead and hoped that another six lives would not be added to the death toll. Working from diaries, journals, and letters written by expedition members, Meredith Hooper tells the intensely human story of Scott's other expedition.

This first volume of Thelma Ritchie’s new trilogy about the Martian settlement Terra Nova gives her readers a glimpse into the bravery and sacrifice required for participating in this grand adventure.

As always, she writes an exciting and educational book of fiction with realistic characters to emulate. Christian principles and accurate science are combined in an adventure that all ages will enjoy. The sky isn’t the limit as the Newton prepares to liftoff from Nicholson’s Earth orbiter and blast through space, faster than a racing bullet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel – based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change – is a major trend in future tourism. In particular, it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the 'Golden Age' of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism, to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines, including tourism studies, sociology, geography and history.

This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 17 March 1912, Lawrence 'Titus' Oates crawled bootless from a tent to his death in blizzard conditions of -40°C. Oates, always an outsider on Scott's Polar expedition, died on his 32nd birthday. His parting words were: 'I am just going outside and may be some time.' Oates was the epitome of the Victorian English gentleman: a public schoolboy who became a dashing cavalry officer and hero in the Boer War. Stationed in Ireland from 1902 to 1906, his passion became horse racing and he won numerous victories at racecourses throughout Ireland. Oates' austere and dominating mother blamed Scott for her son's death and was among the first to challenge the accepted version of events. She continued to control his memory long after his death, keeping his diary and letters hidden, even ordering their destruction from her deathbed. Oates always had difficulty forming lasting relationships with women. He died without realising that he was a father. The story of how Oates died, unaware of his daughter, has been a closely guarded secret until now. This is a compelling and heart-rending story of endurance, bravery and folly.
