Badlands and Giant Heads (Mount Rushmore) - A Trip Through the Dakotas by Dale Olausen 3.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

North and South Dakota are nearly dead center in the middle of North America and might well be considered the heart of The Heartland, at least geographically and perhaps culturally and politically. Though they are not as popular as the tourist destinations of the coasts or the mountain regions, they have their own stark beauty and western frontier attraction. Indeed, anyone who wants to truly understand America should put these two states on their list of places to visit. Both states are rather sparsely populated yet still possess many fascinating historical, geological and cultural features. Key among these are the Badlands of North and South Dakota, The Black Hills of South Dakota, including the famous historical western settlement of Deadwood, Mount Rushmore National Monument, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. There are also many thriving smaller cities such as Fargo, Sioux Falls and Grand Forks, which have benefitted from the oil boom of the recent past, yet maintain the ...

Nazi Secrets: An Occult Breach in the Fabric of History by Frank Lost 3.5 Stars (105 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Nazi secrets are weird enough. It is therefore unnecessary to add more fantasies to the genuine historical facts in the field of Nazi occultism, especially when it comes to their expeditions and their pseudo-scientific researches. The true amateur of sensational and strange stories can still be fully satisfied with Himmler's Witch Project, or the Hollow Earth Theory. In many aspects, the Nazi era was like a breach in space and time. What happened during these almost 12 years of dictatorship, at the heart of Europe in one of the most civilized and industrially advanced countries, does not match the moral, philosophical and religious values that prevailed everywhere else at the same time in the world. There is therefore a need to revisit all historical facts linked to Nazi "oddities" that one rarely finds in mainstream historians' books. This book aims at separating these facts, however esoteric and strange they can be, from post-war fabrications and commercial lies. The amateur of ...

Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise by Jay Maclean 3.6 Stars (12 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

Where is paradise on earth? Somewhere far from the maddening crowds, the cold, the politics, work, of course. People have been searching for their paradise for centuries, even before taxation was invented. The stories of those who wrote about their exploits often reveal more about themselves than the nature of the paradises they sought and sometimes found. Did you know that Sir Walter Raleigh was the world's first pusher of paradise real estate? Or that among the explorers of tropical paradises, the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty was quite humane and considerate? Or that Captain James Cook was the first westerner to get a tropical, full body massage -- and was pretty coy about describing it? That the original Shangri-La paradise was a mix of ascetic monks on top of a Tibetan mountain and a tropical village of loose women at its foot? That Thor Heyerdahl and his first wife honeymooned for a whole year in a remote tropical paradise, leading to his Polynesian migration theory and ...

Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain 4.1 Stars (2,590 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

A stirring tribute to America's mightiest river by one of its greatest authors Before Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, world-famous satirist and the acclaimed creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, he trained to be a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River.
