During the course of Israel`s twenty-two-day military offensive in 2009 on the Gaza Strip 1, 300, mostly civilian, Palestinians were killed, with many thousands more injured. Once again, the Palestinian Community lay in ruins. Despite the Israeli authorities` attempt to shut out aid workers & the media from the conflict zone, NORWAC (the Norwegian Aid Committee) succeeded in getting some of its envoys into the heart of Gaza City, including two doctors: Mads Gilbert & Erik Fosse. For some time, the two were the only Western eyewitnesses in Gaza. This book is an account of their experience during sixteen harrowing days from 27 December 2008 to 12 January 2009. Each chapter covers just one day, as the reader follows the doctors` journey through the ravaged city, treating local Palestinians & hearing their stories. Hailed by the influential Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen as `the best book of 2009`, this shocking yet sober account sheds much-needed light on this recent chapter of one of the most prolonged & complex conflicts of our time. ...

My Life as an Explorer is a classis of Polar literature, written by the one man to do more to further the exploration of both Polar Regions than any other person. First sailing to the Antarctic in the 1899 Belgian expedition, Amundsen never lost his passion for exploring, following this trip with a journey around the top of Canada to prove the existence of the North West Passage between 1903 & 1906. Setting sail for the Antarctic a full month or so after Scott, Amundsen still managed to beat the British team to the Pole by a full month. Making a lot of money out of shipping during the First World War, Amundsen followed his epic journeys by being only the second man to travel around the top of Siberia from Atlantic to Pacific oceans, then flying over the North Pole by airship. He died in 1928. ...

The third in a major series of eyewitness accounts into history, disaster, war, travel & exploration, written by the people who were there, those who not only wrote about the event but who experienced it. World-changing events are rare & it is even rarer to be able to write about them from the viewpoint of an eyewitness. Here is one such story, that of Herbert Ponting, photographer on the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13. When we think of Scott of the Antarctic, we look at the images of Herbert Ponting, an experienced photographer & cameraman from Salisbury. His haunting photos of Antarctica rate as some of the most stunning ever taken & his skill behind the lens has left us a lasting legacy of Robert Falcon Scott. His tale of the expedition also rank as a classic of travel & exploration literature. This is his story! ...
