Spuren von Feuer ist eine wahre Geschichte von drei jungen Freunden, die eines schönen Tages den Entscheid treffen, sich auf ein Abenteuer zu einem der unberührtesten und entlegensten Orte der Erde zu wagen: Die Halbinsel Mitre, im extremsten Südosten von Feuerland.

This book contains the summaries of the "Innovations in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference.

Explore Europe on a Motorbike
Explore Europe on a Motorbike
Siegfried Engels

During my last year before retirement as an agricultural engineer, the idea to travel Europe popped into my mind. The more I thought about it, the bigger the plan grew and in more detail. One month after retirement, I was in London, looking around for an adventure bike to buy, and did just that within a week. The same day, I left for France and this wonderful adventure started. I had a rough plan with only the different countries in sequence, with no bookings in advance except a visa for Ukraine and obviously for Europe. My idea of exploring a …

An epic history of pharmacy. Pharmacy in the Ancient World
An epic history of pharmacy. Pharmacy in the Ancient World
Luis Marcos Nogales

What really sets humankind apart from other species is our fondness of drugs. This vale of tears, full of plants and animals to tame, was the breeding ground for cultures and civilizations with a penchant for developing the noble art of pharmacy. The Neolithic revolution marked the coming into being and development of great states and empires, with the consequential increase in headaches. But that was no big deal, since shamans, witch doctors, physicians, priests, apothecaries, and/or sorcerers sought, and sometimes found, remedies to relieve migraines and a wide range of ailments. 
After a taste of this Epic History of Pharmacy …

Anthony Richard Farmer

As an adult, I knew I would have to visit India, the place of my birth. My father was a British Indian Army Officer and my mother, the daughter of a soldier, was brought to India when she was 20 months old. She left India in 1947, married and with her two children, making a hurried exit before the partition of India. I have always felt I had India in my blood. My first breath, sound, taste, touch, and sight were of India. In March 2012, in my 67th year, I set off on a return journey, not as a …

Ernest Shackleton

Sur es la historia del viaje más importante de Sir Ernest Shackleton, narrada por él mismo: la Expedición Imperial Transantártica. Sintiendo que el orgullo de su patria, Gran Bretaña, estaba perdido al no haber sido el primer país en alcanzar el Polo Sur geográfico —el noruego Roald Amundsen lo había conquistado en 1911—, Shackleton planificó un nuevo viaje con grandes ambiciones. No sólo se proponía llegar al Polo Sur, sino que soñaba con atravesar a pie el vasto continente blanco, desde el mar de Weddell hasta el mar de Ross, una distancia total de 2900 kilómetros.

We Promise Not To Tell
Albert Able

A human story of love, pain, humour, and ambition all spiced with a little scandal and intrigue, We Promise Not to Tell is a dramatisation, plus a little author’s licence of 40 highly successful years in and around the hotel business. Much of it recorded in photographs, on video, and in personal diaries. Starting with nothing more than a little street sense, the book takes you on an emotional journey to battle with prejudice and corruption to create success. The book rarely refers to people or hotels by name, and when it does, the names are fictitious. It includes numerous …

Between Cliffs and Airports
Maximiliano Mills

Through unpredictable waves we are taken to the laboratory of outstanding faith, planned with playful zigzagging or violent changes, all within the goals of his imagination which he was never willing to give up on. This collection of personal milestones is captivating because of how well the narration is weaved, with moments of hilarious occasional suspense. It also opens, more than doors or windows, a parallel dimension that shows us how to never become discouraged when we have set a goal for ourselves. The author does not aspire to create literature, but indirectly invites us to reflect upon …

All stories attempt to soften the truth. All the truths aim to be history. The facts dream of being just words that are diluted in the oblivion of time. It will be seen in this case that the truth claims to be history but only in the imagination. What I come to tell you happened in a land of peace where life was an indefinite article. In that place the seeds did well, the green stretched in gentle landscapes, the rice paddies ripened in time, the trees gained height, dry and raining seasons flowed in perfect synchronization; the rain poured …
