Time surfers / by Sylvester, Kevin.;
Caleb Fisher is the right-hand to his time-surfer, scientist father, John. Together on their thick metallic ship, they travel at super speed into the past and rescue treasures that have otherwise been lost--priceless works of art from the torpedoed RMS Lusitania, a crown jewel threatened by a flood in 1216 CE England--all for the good of humanity and for the glory of the ruling Global Council. But there are rules for time surfers. Never bring back anything that could change the course of history. And never, under penalty of death, bring back another human being. John Fisher is haunted by the loss of his wife in a mysterious incident, and he is always looking for a way to go deeper into the past and stay longer. John forbids Caleb to come on one particularly dangerous mission--to save ancient scrolls from the burning Great Library of Alexandria. But Caleb sneaks on board and what happens in 48 BCE returns with the Fishers into the future and changes their lives forever.

After the North Pole : a story of survival, mythmaking, and melting ice / by Kagge, Erling,author.; Dickson, Kari,translator.; translation of:Kagge, Erling.Nordpolen Natur, myter, eventyrlyst og smeltende is.English.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-343).Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place with no latitude and no longitude, a place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Long before we ever journeyed to the North Pole, human beings have wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like. It became densely mythologized by writers, thinkers, historians and philosophers across civilizations. Perhaps it was the actual garden of Eden? Or the sunny land of the Hyperboreans, as Herodotus surmised? Only recently did we get to the North Pole -- fending off scurvy, polar bears and frostbite -- to report on its strange wonders. A memoir from the Norwegian explorer recounts his 58-day ski journey to the North Pole, offering a gripping adventure story and a deep reflection on nature, human resilience and the profound significance of this remote region.
